    Males have more pronounced personalities than females across a range of species -- from humans to house sparrows -- according to new research.

  • Right-handed chimpanzees provide clues to the origin of human language

    16 Nov 2009 | 2:00 pm
    Most of the linguistic functions in humans are controlled by the left cerebral hemisphere. A new study of captive chimpanzees suggests that this "hemispheric lateralization" for language may have its evolutionary roots in the gestural communication of our common ancestors. A large majority of the chimpanzees in the study showed a significant bias towards right-handed gestures when communicating, which may reflect a similar dominance of the left hemisphere for communication in chimpanzees as that seen for language functions in humans.

    Women don’t base their choices of men on how “nice” a guy is. They choose the men they do because they feel a powerful GUT LEVEL ATTRACTION for them.And guess what?Being nice doesn’t make a woman FEEL that powerful ATTRACTION.And being NICE doesn’t make a woman CHOOSE you.In fact women find NICE very unattractive and repulsive.That's why jerks are so successful in attracting women and you aren't.When your mother taught you to be nice she killed your attraction to women.Women want animal attraction

I had been told a few times by the opposite sex in the past that I think or act “like a man” and at certain points of my life I probably did. I’m no longer there, I totally…

My life is exhausting and complex and now I have a baby to think about?!*#@!  I don’t know what to think.  This is not the way to help a marriage.  I was just so hoping to repair the relationship with my husband.  Now I am saddled with a pregnancy and he can do whatever the hell he wants – he does anyway.  I suppose I will be happy about a baby but it will take time.

    While I’m no expert on marriage and family relations, I do know a few things from experience, observation, and research that contribute to successful relationships. One particular concept that’s on my mind today is Stephen Covey’s emotional bank account. My husband and I discussed this before we got married, and we’re still referring to it. Why? Because it works. A simple but revolutionary idea, the emotional bank account works pretty much like a bank account at a financial institution.  If I want to use my debit card, I have to make regular deposits to my account. I also have to…

  • Not a fag.

    Sometimes I get touchy about word choice.     It is sometimes a little overwhelming to hear people say fag, homo, queer or whatever is the new word of the day.     But I know I use those words too. So I won’t pretend I am somehow opposed to people using them in general.   A few weeks ago on South Park, they did an episode on redefining the word fag.   I must admit I actually watched the episode. And I laughed.   Some people did not see the humor in it. I can understand how the term is a touchy subject. I would not like to be called a fag.   Yet,…

    In the 1940s a relatively unknown psychiatrist named Helmuth Kaiser wrote about a figure skating performance by identical twins he witnessed as a young boy. It wasn’t the impeccably choreographed performance that caught his attention, it was the mesmerized crowd’s reaction. He also noted that synchronized swimming teams, high-kick chorus lines, and precision military teams produced this same effect. Kaiser intuited that there was something about the unison involved in these performances that stirred the crowds. More recently, the rapid spread of the Irish dancing phenomenon…

Most of it isn’t true. An analysis by Air Force Times of the service’s marriage and divorce statistics turned up surprising conclusions. Many defy easy explanation. Female airmen are two to three times more likely than male airmen to be divorced and are less likely to be married. Of the active-duty force, 66.6 percent of men and 63.2 percent of women have been or are married, and 5.3 percent of men and 12.5 percent of women are…

    Australia: What's the real story behind increase in marriages?: It seemed like good news on marriage last year. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a record number of registered marriages since 1989 and a 10 per cent drop in divorce numbers since 1999. The reality is that marital relationships have never been more unstable in Australia. The number of marriages has increased because the population has grown. However, the proportion of married people has not really changed. To get a true picture of the situation concerning divorce, we need to take account of the fact more and more…

  • When 50-50 isn't 50-50 - Sandy Philpott

    17 Nov 2009 | 11:14 pm
    When I got married, I assumed that we'd split everything 50-50. We'd each do half of the chores, we'd each work about the same number of hours, we'd share cooking duties, we'd take turns deciding what movie to watch or what restaurant to go to or what TV show to put on. What I didn't realize is that 50-50 doesn't really mean 50-50. Sometimes it means 100-0 and sometimes it means 0-100. And sometimes it's somewhere else in the middle. But it's very rarely actually 50-50. And that's OK. The nice thing about the division of labor in a marriage is that the two of you aren't identical twins, so…

I know for some guys out there, it may be hard to believe. A lot of guys have the psychology that a “hot lady” requires a huge price tag for the date. I can only speak for myself but I married a very hot lady and she does not require a lot of money to be spent on a date.

    In the spirit of Halloween, I figured some dating horror stories were in order. Bad dates are something all of us have probably had at one point or another, though sometimes it seems that some people seem to have a lot more stories than others! Most of the worst possible dating scenarios are the type where you have been set up by someone or it’s a blind date of some type. And usually, though awful at the time, they tend to be pretty funny to other people, especially as time goes on. I can’t think of any terrible dates, though there were plenty of guys trying to pick me up who…

Then she added that Happen was the magazine associated with Match.com, and I just laughed. I thought this was the start of another one of those conversations in which someone claims to love my book but soon gives away the fact that they actually haven't read it. They just figure that with "singles" in the title, it must be about dating.So I asked her, incredulously, "Do you realize what Singled Out is about?"…

    The ABC show 20/20 recently treated its viewers to an all-out condescending pity-party for the women it calls ‘crazy cat ladies.' The segment hosted by Elizabeth Vargas, with an accompanying article online, was so over-the-top that it was almost a parody of itself.The article begins this way:"Single. Female. Three cats.Red flag! For most people, the combo invites the label Cat Lady, says Christie Callan-Jones, a filmmaker."Vargas interviewed the filmmaker about "Cat Ladies," her documentary of four women with cats.

    I made an agreement with the Universe many years ago, that if ever I should fail to pay attention to a message from the divine, that it should "ring" me three times and then surely I would get the message.As soon as I made the agreement my level of alertness started to raise and my intuition seemed to immediately get even more sensitive. I think the Universe has a way of doing that once we give

    Ronnie, the owner of the house where my friend, Sharon, keeps her horses, past away two days ago from the swine flu, which he contracted almost a month ago. First his 9 year old son got it, past it on to his dad who was in ICU for the past months. I met Ronnie's wife, who survives him with their two children (a 9 year old boy and a 7 year old girl).

    I'm sick.  So sick that I didn't leave my house for 2 days, and when I did it was to stumble out of my apartment and across the street to buy overpriced Nyquil, Gatorade, and a yogurt for  20 bucks.  I was so thankful that they had Nyquil and I wouldn't have to walk the 6 bIocks to the drugstore  that I didn't even get mad at the ridiculous amount of money I just paid to the bandits at the corner store (who are great guys who are just trying to make a buck like the rest of us, and don't snicker or ask if I have a hot date when I come into their store at 8pm on a Friday…

    Follow Torrey on Twitter According to recent single parent statistics, there are more than 13 million single parent households in the United States. And when you mention single parents, one of the first things many think about is child support! With the growth of the internet and entertainment/gossip websites and tv programs, we know much more about celebrities' and public figures' lives.  And their child support situation is always a hot topic with us.  I'm not sure what the actual stats are, but I do know a lot of single mothers that complain about the lack of getting…

  • How Important Is The Engagement Ring?

    Torrey
    16 Nov 2009 | 8:36 am
      Follow Torrey on Twitter For many men, purchasing an engagement ring is one of the most confusing and frustrating processes ever. To even get to this point means he has very strong feelings for a particular women in his life, which is a great thing. But confusing, nonetheless! I was thinking back to when I went through the process of buying my wife an engagement ring. I had a descent job, but really didn’t make a whole lot of money. To get extra money, I was pawning and selling stuff like I was collecting bail money or something. And many dinners consisted of…

     Follow Torrey on Twitter I can vividly remember growing up and going to school. Not only going to school, but beginning the process of dating girls.  And although classmates from those days post throwback pictures of Facebook reaffirming how skinny and nerdy I looked, I thought I was a pretty cool dude.   When segmenting the general population at that time, I found myself targeting cute girls I thought it would be cool to date, court or go steady with.  While going through that process, one thing became very clear to me.  The bad boys got way…

    Follow Torrey on Twitter   I have had a lot going on in the past week to 10 days. My wife and I have decided to take advantage of the real estate market and put our home up for sale. The purpose of this was to get a great deal on a larger home that we can be in for years to come. Thus the reason for not posting as regularly as I would like. As it is with the real estate market, there are a lot of steps you must take to be able to both buy and sell your home (I will detail my experience in a series of posts coming soon).

  • Why women eat salads on dates

    jenapincott
    8 Nov 2009 | 3:37 pm
    Is she resentful? I have a friend who only orders salads when she goes out on a date. Me, I’d order the pasta and make sure to leave room for dessert. Turns out I’m unusual that way. According to the latest study at McMaster University, women consume far fewer calories in the presence of a man (or men) than when eating alone or with another woman. Of over 450 people observed in a cafeteria setting, only the women revealed different consumption habits around the opposite sex. What I was oblivious to when dating is the fact that what you eat, and how much, can affect impressions of…

    A few weeks ago, my friend G. went out on a date with a man she met online. She had liked the guys’s profile: mid-thirties, lawyer, yogi, middle child (like herself), vegetarian. He was cute, too, with green eyes and a boyish grin. In his profile photo he included a shot of himself hugging his niece. And when G. met him, he hugged her, too — a great bear hug. He held the door open for her when they went to the restaurant and picked up the check at the end of the meal. All this she liked, but she said certain things about him annoyed her. When pressed, she said sheepishly: “I…

  • What machines teach us about how we flirt

    11 Oct 2009 | 3:43 pm
    I’ve always been a fan of the MIT Media Lab, and in BLONDES I write about Media Lab director Alex Pentland’s development of a machine that tracks “vocal body language” — pitch, speed, the space between words, and so on. Tested in a speed dating study, the machine had an impressive accuracy rate. About 70 percent of the time it could predict whether a man and woman was interested in each other, and whether they’d say yes to a second date. Now it turns out that researchers at Stanford are following suit, in what may someday be the next big iPhone app.

  • Foot-in-the-door as a pickup technique

    27 Sep 2009 | 3:25 pm
    French psychologist Nicolas Gueguen is fun. He’s the guy who asks the pressing questions we’d all like answered, whether we admit it or not: Does makeup really make a woman more attractive to men?; Are dog owners more likely to get dates?; How much does cup size really matter?; and How does priming men to think about love change their behavior? And now Gueguen strikes again, this time with a study on courtship and “foot-in-the-door-technique.” The latter is an actual term in psychology. “Foot in the door” is a compliance tactic in which an initial, small…

  • The science of gaydar

    jenapincott
    20 Sep 2009 | 6:15 pm
    Given at least 1/20th of a second to look at a man, you can probably guess whether he’s gay — and be correct at least 70 percent of the time. Remarkably, your first split-second assessment would be as accurate as your impression after a full minute. That was the case, at least, in a study by Tufts University psychologists Nalini Ambady and Nicholas Rule when they asked male and female judges to guess the sexual orientation of 90 faces of gay and straight men (without facial hair or piercings). Regardless of their own sexual orientation, the judges were astoundingly swift and accurate…
