Previous research shows that men are more likely to make sarcastic jokes than women. According to a research report published in the latest issue of the British Medical Journal, this phenomenon is due to hormones in the male body that can induce aggression, such as testosterone.

Sam Schuster, a professor at the University Hospital of Norwich in the UK, conducted an experiment in which he rode a unicycle on the streets of Newcastle and observed the reactions of men and women along the way. Schuster recorded the reactions of 400 people, and more than half, mostly men, expressed their opinions verbally.

He found that women were more likely to give encouraging comments, while men were more likely to make sarcastic remarks in a joking manner. 75% of men would joke loudly, such as: "What, you lost the other wheel?" However, the proportion of women who joked like this was extremely low.

Men's jokes generally have a sarcastic tone, Schuster said. Young men reacted more aggressively, often by pulling down their car windows and shouting. As age increases, men's verbal aggression will weaken. Older men will make encouraging and appreciative comments just like women.

Northumbria University psychologist Nick Neave said: "When young men enter the mate selection period, they always face a lot of competition, which is not difficult to explain why they respond more aggressively." He It was also said that the young men viewed the unicyclists as competitors because they attracted the female gaze.
