So Anthony Weiner sent women pictures of his penis, both clothed and unclothed, and may have told a teenage girl he was like a superhero. Obviously, the question we should all be asking is: how did Huma fuck up this badly? More »

A new study says women who bare 40% of their skin (an arm is 10%, a leg 15%) attract the most men. But watch out: any more than that apparently indicates "general availability and future infidelity." [Thewest.com.au] More »

A new study suggests that women are more averse than men to looking at babies with facial abnormalities — and coverage of this study includes a whole host of annoying stereotypes about moms, dads, babies, and love. More »

New book out: Jena Pincott's Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes? It's a pop-science read on the natural laws of attraction: pheromones, smells, evolutionary psychology —you know the drill.

(Of course, we already knew that men act stupider around blondes, but marry brunettes, so make of this further "confirmation" of our societal proclivities what you will.)

Seriously, this sounds like someone we know. Also, Paris should totes move to Tanzania. More »
