Dating new people is fun and exciting. It's also likely to cause even the most rational, level-headed people to make really dumb decisions. Don't worry, though. Your brain is supposed to do that. Sort of.
"I'm not a boob man or a butt man or a leg man, I'm a face man," say LIARS. According to new research, no matter what a woman's build, men spend more time looking at women's bodies than they do their faces, which means that we can stop with this "anti aging" bullshit and just let our mugs turn into the face of the dead…
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…
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 thing …
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…
A study in England has found that men coping with stress more often prefer larger women than men who aren't stressed at all, an insight that builds on earlier findings about how experiencing stress affects body-size judgments, often leading people to be attracted to more "mature" body types.
If we've learned anything about the color about the color red, it's that some people can't see it, that it's nevertheless splashed over very important public signs, and that it makes people want to drop whatever they're doing and procreate. Procreate hard.
A recent study has found that playfulness — which includes having a "sense of humor," a "playful" attitude, or a keen and abiding love of "fun" — is among the most coveted character traits for potential mates, both men and women. A survey of 250 undergraduate students found that playfulness was the usually the most important …
We are often told to fake it until we make it, and this is useful in all manner of endeavors: acting confident and sexy, starting a new job for which you are under-qualified, etc. But we are not usually advised to do this in matters of the heart—because, after all, love cannot be faked. Or can it? Dun, dun, dunnnn.…
Oh, bad boys, with their leather jackets, their greased back hair, their fear of commitment, and their ways of thrilling us while simultaneously making us feel shitty about ourselves. We just can't get enough of them! We've spent an eternity beating ourselves up over our perverse attraction to these cads, but now it…
Previous studies have shown that men tend to overestimate women's interest in them. But new research shows that some men are more likely than others to assume that chick was totally into them, even when she wasn't.
Climbers rejoice — a survey found that women deemed their sport the sexiest among a list of options. Golfers, however, are out of luck.
