This attitude dates back to the hunter-gatherer days when a
woman had to look after herself and withhold as much as
possible from rivals in order to attract men, the Daily Mail
reported.
Women bosses at their fertility peak could offer up to 25 per
cent less pay to their female counterparts, according to
psychologists at Wellesley College in the US.
Psychology professor Margery Lucas said women need to
consider their timing as well as how attractive their bosses
are before negotiating any deal.
During the study, women had to offer a certain salary to an
on-screen virtual partner, and keep the rest for herself.
At the end of the test, they rated the partner's
attractiveness on a 10-point scale, the daily said.
Scientists said the results showed that on average women in
the fertile stage of the month offered 25 per cent less to
the most attractive women compared to the least attractive
women.
Women at the low-fertility stage were far more generous,
offering 20 per cent more to the prettiest women than they
did to the least good looking.
The researchers said it suggests that women at the low-
fertility stage are less threatened by beautiful female co-
workers.
