Today in awesome/awful things scientists make undergraduates do: psychologists have discovered that if you make the poor kids ponder their love for their girlfriends and boyfriends, they turn into jealous dicks who are eager to insult their supposed rivals and also blast them with loud noises. Effective! More »

It's difficult to feel cherished when we know that our partners are still carrying emotional baggage from previous romantic entanglements, but it's especially difficult when that emotional baggage manifests itself in the form of actual pieces of crap that used to belong to his ex-girlfriend. And what if he refuses to throw them away? Does that mean he's still in love with her? More »

A wife discovered her husband was on vacation with another woman, so she did the only reasonable thing she could do: cut all the crotches out of the other woman's pants. The wife, who lives on the East Coast, flew to the husband's home in Illinois after she found out he was in St. Lucia with the alleged girlfriend. She left 10 mangled pieces of the other woman's clothing in his driveway, but there's no mention of her destroying any of his property. Why would the wife get angry at her husband (who actually claims they're separated), when the affair is clearly the fault of the woman who probably didn't even know she existed? More »

The first women to serve on U.S. submarines will begin officer training this summer. Although the cadets and their officers are excited about the historic change, not everyone is excited. Navy wives, worried about their men, have begun to complain. More »

Researchers have found that jealousy actually makes women worse at a visual game — which should be no surprise to anyone who's had her vision, external or internal, clouded by jealousy. More »

A young guy wrote to Slate's advice columnist today, seeking help with his pathological jealousy. Prudie ripped him a new one — and left me wondering where the line is between jealousy and abuse. More »

We got an interesting letter from a reader today in response to yesterday's Megan Fox post. She wrote that Fox-bashing for unsisterly sentiments is unfair, because the actress "has largely spoken the truth regarding women and extreme jealousy over looks." More »

A new study found that oxytocin, usually thought to strengthen emotional bonds, also increases people's envy and schadenfreude. An earlier study found it made female hamsters more aggressive towards intruders. No word on what it does to rabbits. [NewScientist] More »

Catherine Millet, who chronicled her many orgies and other sexual escapades in The Sexual Life of Catherine M., is "as jealous as any faithful wife," according to Reuters. Her new book, Jour de Souffrance (Day of Suffering), describes the pain she felt when she found photos of her longtime partner engaged in the kind of sexual activities she herself used to enjoy. Yet more proof that, as William Saletan said, "One isn't the number of people you want to sleep with. It's the number of people you want your spouse to sleep with." More »

Liz Phair is reissuing Exile In Guyville on some label owned by Dave Matthews that sounds like the name of a wrestling fraternity (and that, to its credit, also gave us Ben Kweller). Exile in Guyville is not that great a conversational topic since I think we can all agree that to deny its greatness is on par with killing puppies and date rape, but the question is: when did you stop listening to Liz? I totally held out until she colluded with those malevolent Avril Lavigne Svengali producers The Matrix. (You know how I'm all "Fuck discretion?" Yeah, well, everyone has their limits and mine is writing a song called "Hot White Cum.") Anyway, name your favorite Liz song here; bonus points if it's post-Exile like the song referenced in my headline! [Pitchfork] More »

Short men get jealous. Or so says a study out of the Universities of Groningen and Valencia, which also alleges that men feel threatened by other men whom they perceive as being "attractive, rich, and strong," whereas women are threatened by other women they believe have more beauty and "charm."

Today the English tabloid The Mirror answers a plea for advice from a woman whose boyfriend is still good friends with his ex. The ex-girlfriend insists on coming out to the pub with the happy couple and "referring to private jokes and going on about what great friends they are." The Mirror's advice columnist, whose name is Flic (?!?!) Everett, tells the woman that the omnipresent ex "never really got over the split." No shit, Flic! As we've stated before, people who stay bff with their exes are either a) still smitten and trying to get back together, b) totally masochistic, or c) reasonably narcissistic and fluffing their egos with the idea that their exes are still in love with them. It sounds like the letter writer is dealing with a lot of "a", and maybe a little "c". More »

• Breaking News! Men go for hot women, according to a speed-dating study. Researchers found that the men in the study "tended to select nearly every woman above a certain minimum attractiveness threshold." However the women chose men whose attractiveness was on par with their own, because every chick knows a hotter dude will dump her in a ditch as soon as something sexier comes along. And this is how Brangelina was born. [CNN]
