If you were sitting around wondering if the internet as a medium is complicit in (or just straight up dictates) the homogenization of beauty standards, have I got news for you!

Don't pack up your worry beads just yet: Seems like we will never actually find out if the hourglass figure is the officially ideal body type for women or not according to any men who are willing to answer. Studies are mostly sure, but not definitive. Even 40 men in Poland in a recent study could not confirm for…

Remember that ridiculously cheesy bro in your dorm who hummed and strummed Closer to Fine and your brain barfed but your loins went SCHWING? Your head might've said HELL NO, but your heart laid out the welcome mat to your pants. Turns out, you're most likely a sucker for a man with a song in his heart and an acoustic…

Stubble is hot. You know this. And now science confirms it. To be clear: We're not talking about a soul patch or an elborate Riff-Raff style swirling goatee. Just plain old stubbly, scruffy, ungroomed facial hair.

We're all a bunch of Judge Mableans when it comes to sizing up possible partners, says an online survey of 5,481 singles ages 21 and older.

The most esteemed Iowa circle jerk all-male Iowa Supreme Court ruled 7-0 on Friday that a dentist was totally within his legal rights when he fired his female assistant because he and his wife all held hands and decided that the woman was a threat to their marriage. In other words, a female employee in Iowa was fired…

Leave it to the latest scientific study to suck some of the glamour out of the mysteriously magnetic aura that surrounds self-proclaimed rebels and badasses like Ke$ha and Pee-Wee Herman: according to the deflating new study (published in Social Psychological Personality and Science) from Nicholas S. Holtzman and…

Recently I worked myself into a giant, gnarled, spiny tumbleweed of outrage, ranting and raving my way across the Internet and into my social life. The subject of my vitriol was a Facebook page, filed under controversial humor, called "12 Year Old Sluts." It features, among other jokes and memes, the kind of idiotic…

It used to be that a red nose was just an unappealing indicator of a hard life lived through liquor but apparently, some women like that. Which, honestly, would explain about half of the marriages in my family.

A new study has figured out that nobody on Facebook cares that much about how users describe themselves — it's much more important to know how users describe each other. For instance, a profile for someone named Blaine (let's just say) could go something like, "I am a kind person, I love puppies and kayaking. I drink…

"Oh, she may be weary. Young girls, they do get weary, wearing that same, old, shaggy dress."

In science's relentless effort to prove that we're all just extras in a sprawling Quest for Fire remake produced by aliens, anthropologists would like to remind us that men prefer women with blonde hair because blonde hair is rare and that's why cavemen liked blonde hair, which is how blonde hair became more of a…

Another day, another questionable study about how ovulation subtly affects the orangutan-quadrant of a human man's brain. In the latest study about how we all might as well still be cavepeople when it comes to sexual activity, researchers at the University of Göttingen in Germany figured out that women in the fertile…
