Watch it. His smile might have ulterior motives.You might want to think about it the next time your guy flashes you a sly smile while asking for a favor. According to researchers at the University of Granada, women are more likely to comply with a man's request-even a derogatory one-if he flashes his pearly whites.
By Meagan Morris
In the study, a man doled out commanding instructions to various women. The women did what he asked (and often adopted a submissive posture) if he smiled while he made his request. Researchers theorize that a smile gives off an air of friendliness-dubbed as "perceived warmth."

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.
Related: Guys With a Bad Sense of Smell Might be Psychopaths?
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?

It's that time of year again: Outside it's bitterly cold, black-icy, and dark, so very dark, at 4:30 p.m. Right about now, Seasonal Affective Disorder should be kicking in, but I couldn't be happier. I love me some winter, and I bet your guy does too. Meanwhile, women wonder what it is about this frozen hellscape that inspires pure joy in their men. How can guys smile in weather that, with prolonged exposure, could potentially cause you to lose a toe? Winter is the Season of Man, when we are forced to reckon with our most primal adversary, Mother Nature. It's a time of intermittent exercise, carbo-loading, and infrequent grooming--and this is a glorious thing. Let me explain why.

How to tell if he's He may leave his dirty socks on the floor, but at least he opens the door for you. When it comes to relationships, you take the good with the bad. But when you're dating a guy you think just might be Mr. Right, how do you determine if he's really the one you're destined to spend the rest of your life with?
We went to the experts to find out how to tell if a guy truly is Mr. Right-or just Mr. Right Now. Here are five tests your soulmate must pass.
1. The chivalry test: Patti Stanger, Millionaire Matchmaker, author, and Bravo TV star, says chivalry is not dead-at least not when it comes to the 'good' ones.
"Things like opening the car door or immediately giving you your portion of food when you're splitting a dish at a restaurant-these are all important signs to look for to know if he'll ultimately treat you right," Stanger says.

Holding hands.
I think I have heard enough of it.
This world says so knowingly, "You should not need, not attach. You should be fine, wonderful, content with just yourself..."
I say instead, "Enough. I've heard enough." I will not be able to live in this particular version of the world any longer because I find that all that world does-is make me feel as if something is inherently wrong deep inside me. I shall instead live in this world I am surrounding myself in...one where I am connected.
The way to avoid living is to detach yourself from it-to talk yourself out of actual need and substitute the word want. The way to never get hurt by loving, is to never allow yourself to love-to not open yourself up to actually needing other people to round out your life.
So many miss the entire point of humanity, of life itself by forgetting that nothing exists alone. We are not intended too. Not one thing is supposed to be without another. Even the stars have fellow stars, a moon, aCouple's YouTube Breakup Video Goes Viral (and It's Actually Really Sweet)

When a friend forwarded me a link this morning for a "YouTube song breakup announcement," I was ready to hate it. The video features musician Jonathan Mann - who has a project where he records a new song every day and posts the product online - announcing that he and his girlfriend of five years, Ivory King, are breaking up. I was expecting something self-indulgent and cheesy. Instead, I found something beautiful, heartbreaking, and all too relatable.
"Jonathan and Ivory have been together for five years," reads the text at the beginning of the video. "This is their final song as a couple." Watch it here:
