All those who ever got into a fight with their partner for catching him or her eyeing up someone else (perhaps someone they considered more attractive than them) must know they have overreacted a bit. A new study performed in the UK shows that an average man will spend 43 minutes of his day ogling 10 different women, while the ladies themselves spend an average of 20 minutes doing the same, as The Telegraph can confirm. Men like to look at women, and women like to look at men, and this eyeing up thing remains one of their favorite flirts, the findings of the study indicate. While the gents like to focus on more “specific” thin...

The study also shows men are all the same, in that there is no difference between singles and those who are in a relationship, as LiveScience informs. Researchers led by neuroscientist Heather Rupp of The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University had 59 men and 56 women aged 17-26 analyze a batch of 510 photos of women and men. The volunteers involved in the study were both committed to a relationship ...

Speaking with Men’s Health, Obama says no one should be discouraged if they fail or fall off the wagon once, twice or many more times, because it’s the attitude that counts when kicking the habit – and he speaks from his own experience nonetheless. For starters, Obama admits to the mag that he was never a heavy smoker, therefore going off cigarettes was relatively easy since he did not have any of the withdrawal symptoms that often make it very hard for heavy...

According to Rolls, the WAG stereotype is often regarded with prejudice, solely on the grounds that footballers are not really the most articulate or educated people out there. Because they are this way, people generally assume that their girlfriends and wives must have... [read more >>] Since love has always been, and will perhaps continue to be relative to each individual, scientists have a really tough job to narrow the concept down to a universal “recipe.” The same goes for attractiveness, which is equally hard to pin down in theory. In this sense, a new study comes to show that, where men are concerned, an 8.2-second gaze means they rate a woman highly attractive, which raises the odds of love at first sight. The latest study was conducted on 115 male students, gathered in one single location and confronted with beautiful young actresses and models. Their eye movements, as they interacted with the women, w...

All of them could soon be replaced by a revolutionary technique developed by IlluminOss, which consists of inserting a permanent balloon filled with a cement-like substance that keeps the bone in place from within, according to a report in the Daily Mail. The balloon not only leaves less scarring than surgery for the insertion of plates and screws, which also requires a second surgery to have them removed once...

Gorgeous women are not made to be loyal, and it’s not something that they can do to help it, as the research has showed.It’s all in the hormones, scientists say, and not in the way a woman was raised or the values she upholds. More specifically, it’s in the level of oestrogen that a woman’s fidelity is to be found, as the study has showed that those with high levels of it are more likely to be unsatisfied with their current partner, th...

A new study has revealed, as reported by Fox news, that women with a pear-shaped figure, the likes of which singers Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce have made famous, are healthier than those with a more slender frame.Published in the journal “Cell Metabolism,” the new study states that the fat responsible for the pear-shape figure can have a positive influence in the prevention of certain diseases, because it releases certain hormones that lower their chances of being developed. For instance, researchers fr... [read more >>] Weight loss pills have been a subject for heated debates and bitter controversies for decades. Praised by some as life-turning instruments for gaining self-esteem and looking good, diet pills are hailed by others as deadly chemicals that can wreck havoc inside our bodies and very likely kill us. Today, I'm going to talk to you about one of the most commonly used weight loss drugs out there, a little blue and white pill that goes by the name of phentermine. Phentermine is closely related to amphetamines and works as an appetite suppressant. Its main function is to stimulate the release of brain chemicals that effectively reduce sensatio...
