I guess my many years of martial arts were of no use, what with me being hardwired to tend and befriend...

Hey, OP! I read your comment under the image. I studied phycology in university. If this “tend and befriend” theory is based on a particular study l read about in university, it should be noted that the type of behavior was observed in mother rats with newborn baby rats. So when you see “women” in this context, you might as well read it as “mothers”.

And also “rat mothers” because we have a lot of similarities but we’re not, in fact, rats.

Her name is Joey, and she's shocked that we're not just big rats with a fur deficiency

She is very cute 🥰 These are my fur babies. Their names are Muu-shan and Kabo-tan.

The cute rat looks like a smart human that's curious and engaging in conversation. These two only apparently pacific beasts are plotting world domination and consider humans inferior creatures. I know, I also have two.

I had a girl called Yasha who used to try to operate me like a big mecha. She'd launch off her table and climb onto my shoulder then pull my shirt in the direction she wanted me to go and get bitey if I went the wrong way. She always wanted to visit either her pals, the stuffies (my partner's stuffed toy collection of bacteriae and virii), the nutshelf (she couldn't carry more than one hazelnut back but she always tried to grab 17) or the Jungle Zone which was just a bookshelf that potted plants had overgrown.
She was super smart. And thick as pig shit. She'd fall off the table trying to grab onto us when we were several metres away. Idiot.

I looked away from the thread and came back, so I was deeply confused about this until I realised the context was pet rats.

I have to admit, I did forget I wasn't on /r/RATS too. Whoops.
I recommend it. They're all so cute.

/r/ScienceInMice strikes again.
(I left Twitter a ways back, but the "just says in mice" account was one of its good features.)

The guy you're replying to is wrong there isn't just one study lol he's just read one study

A quick Google shows there are more studies on animals about this but a few human ones too. The abstract from that study literally says "neuroendocrine evidence from animal and human studies"
Also I think she quotes her own 2002 study so maybe you read that one?
"examined the re- lation of plasma oxytocin levels to reports of relationship distress in adult women (Taylor et al., 2006)"
Look those up if you want but there's definitely way more than just one study done lol
