His sense of smell might tell you how many women he's slept with.Dating someone who's got a bad sense of smell? Well... Aside from him possibly being a freaking psychopath, he probably hasn't slept with a lot of girls.
By Dara Adeeyo
Researchers analyzed men with anosmia (aka no sense of smell) to see how the disorder affected their lives. As a result, they found that men who could smell better, had an average of nine sexual partners in their lifetime. Meanwhile, men with poor sense of smell averaged three.

Hm. Scientists believe that it's because sense of smell is linked to our emotions. Most of those who suffer from anosmia, are generally more insecure because they can't smell things properly. So... they don't know if they have bad breath, stinky armpits, and etc. Thus, making them socially awkward. This behavior then lingers into the dating world, causing these men to rarely go out with girls.
What do you think? Know a guy with a poor sense of smell? What's his sex life like?

The guys over in France have a wee problem.Sorry, ladies of France: Your guys' little swimmers aren't swimming so strongly anymore.
By Meagan Morris
Researchers just released the findings of a 16-year study of 26,600 French men and found that their sperm counts dropped a staggering 32.3 percent-a rate of about two percent a year. According to the study, the average concentration of a 35-year-old man in the country is 49.9 million per milliliter-not low enough to be infertile, but enough to limit his baby-making skills.
"This constitutes a serious public health warning," researcher Dr. Joelle Le Moal told the BBC.

Uh, yeah. We assume the guys involved aren't too thrilled about it, either.
As for the reasons behind the decline? Scientists didn't measure smoking or weight in the men, but they assume it has something to do with diets and chemical exposure.
The biggest WTF of this study: Why are they measuring national sperm quality anyway? Don't they have a few other things to

Um... Would you eat this to get you going?Most of us are familiar with aphrodisiac foods like oysters, figs, and chocolate, but there are plenty of other time-honored sex-starters that are a bit, well, surprising, to say the least. Here are nine of the weirdest things that supposedly make us want to get it on.

1. Tiger Penis
Traditional Chinese medicine says that eating the member of this wild animal boosts male stamina. But it's not the only phallus-inspired aphrodisiac out there. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean men have been known to sip on deer penis wine-which is a rice wine made with herbs...and the obvious.
2. Sea Cucumber
Perhaps because of its penis-like shape and ability to, err, squirt, this sea creature is available for purchase in China as an edible aphrodisiac. We hear it tastes like…sea cucumber.
3. Skink Skin
This type of lizard has been associated with sexiness since ancient Greece, when parts of it were used to make wine. Now, the skink's skin (say that three times fast) is a delicacy in8 Ways to Deal with a Mean Coworker

1. She Gives Harsh and Demeaning Feedback
Ignore her or hit her with some humor. To be funny, you can say something like, "You say the sweetest things." If you want to stay neutral, simply say, "Thanks for the feedback" and walk away.
2. She Critiques Your Appearance
Don't try to explain why you look the way you do (because, bitch please). The best way to deal with this is to just tune her out. Realize that you're dealing with someone who thinks their feedback is helping you. If you want to take it a step further, you can always respond with an insincere smile and an equally fake "Thanks!"

Are you addicted to your cell phone?It's no secret that cell phones are our lifelines: We do...pretty much everything on them.
By Natasha Burton
But a new Baylor University study shows that over-using our phones is actually a sign of materialism and impulsiveness that's similar to vices like compulsive buying and credit card misuse.

The study looked at 191 business students at two U.S. universities and found that they send around 109.5 text messages a day-a whopping 3,200 texts each month. Um...whoa. Students also check their phones around 60 times on a typical day, which amounts to seven hours overall. As for what would happen if students lost their devices, well, it would be "disastrous" to their social lives, the study's researchers found.
In fact, researchers go as far to say that our phones have become "status symbols" that can "erode our personal relationships." The solution? Make sure you're not compulsively checking your phone every three seconds, and maybeNew Study: Most Women Don't Marry Their "Best Sex Ever"

Not all married women are digging their sex lives.Well, this is totally depressing. According to a new study, less than half of married women consider their husbands to be their best lays.
By Natasha Burton
After surveying 2,000 women, researchers not only found that most women didn't end up married to the men who gave them the best sex of their lives, but 66 percent of them would prefer to read a book, watch a movie, or take a nap than have sex with their husbands.
