Though they say – and it’s been verified many a time – that the key to a healthy, successful relationship is honesty and communication, a new survey cited by the Daily Mail shows that women still try to dodge questions about their former lovers.

Specialists observed this behavior for the last three years in 21 gorillas from six colonies, in five European zoos. Apparently this is a common conduct in other great African apes as well, and maybe in several non-primates. Tag is a game of hit-and-run and it basically allows gorillas to develop and maintain their c... |

Just recently, health experts again joined forces to issue a warning on the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle, with the meaning of the term broadened to refer to activities that imply lack of movement and that take up most of the time, even when regular physical exercise is included. In other words, they issued a warn... |

As the divorce cake business continues to flourish and more celebrity couples admittedly contribute to the impression that divorce is a mere trifle that can be easily overcome, a new survey comes to show that, in reality, things are far from that. In fact, getting over a separation from a spouse takes on average 17 m... |

Being green might be the thing to do – and the admirable one as well –, but a recent study comes to show that it too comes at a price, which has nothing to do with us being willing to give it a try. Environmentally aware shoppers are more likely to be mean, while also more inclined to steal and cheat, the... |

Not once have people in intimate relationships heard the words “be yourself.” Far from being an abstract concept, or just a catchy phrase, the advice may actually be rooted in scientific fact. A group of researchers has recently released the conclusions of a new study they conducted, which has shown that ... |

I must say, after reading a number of books on anthropology and the human mind, I thought I knew what to expect of such literature. I mean this in the sense that, after a while, you kind of get used to various styles of writing, and start seeing the point authors are trying to make even before they finish their phras... |

In their quest to putting a name and a number to everything, including love, scientists have come up with a formula that might actually help couples have a perfect marriage. The only thing they should keep in mind is that the woman must be younger by 5 years and smarter than her partner in order for their marriage to... |

The best way to socialize at work is around a steaming cup of coffee or, according to preferences, tea. While both men and women admit to indulging in this pastime in order to be able to catch up with office gossip, the former are going to great lengths in order to get out of the task of making tea, a new survey cond... |

Geek chic is back again in fashion and, with each month, seems to be taken one step further than ever before. Fashion is not the only place where everything geek is causing havoc these days, as a recent poll conducted in the UK on 2,500 women and cited by the Daily Mail shows. While most of them would never admit to ... |

Retro influences mark many new releases on the market, be it a clothing item, a film or a music album. The ‘80s and the ‘90s have left such a serious dent on young people’s personalities that they would rather live their lives looking nostalgically back than plan ahead for the future, as a recent re... |

A new scientific investigation has recently established that people who watch others engage in positive behaviors, altruistic gestures, and other types of compassion and good will, are also more likely to engage in similar gestures as well.

According to a new research, it could be that your behavior in uncommon situations, such as after winning the lottery, is not very much dictated by your own free will as by ads and other external factors. This is the first investigation of this type to analyze the influence of advertisements on personal desires. It w... |

It’s often said that women have this bad habit of becoming too emotional and, at the same time, feeling guiltier than they should about one thing or another. Recent research comes to show though that, comparatively, it’s not the women who overdo it with the guilt trip but the men, who actually feel less g... |

They say it’s good, recommended actually, to have more choices to go with, instead of just one thing that we have to stick with no matter what. However, a new study in consumer behavior comes to show that, where options are concerned, having too many is actually detrimental to us. Having too much choice often l... |

Today, January 18, is officially the most depressing day of the year, which is why it has come to be known as Blue Monday. Useless to say, today nothing works and, consequently, it’s the worst moment to start something new or take risks, either at work or in one’s personal life. There are ways to fight th... |

Women looking to find an answer to the never-really-answered question of whether a man is looking for just a fling or a more serious relationship have only to look in his eyes to find it, The Telegraph says.

“I think someone needs a bite of the reality sandwich” and “Let’s touch base on this offline” might be phrases that we could make sense of, but that would be like shooting arrows in the dark. Yet, they make a lot of sense for office workers in the UK, who are increasingly including them ... |

Women are known to tell the occasional white lie especially when asked directly about the price of a certain item that they just happen to have purchased. That is to say, for some reason or another, women feel the need to hide their shopping habits from their partners, either by lying about the price or denying a sho... |

They say a girl can’t live without her girlfriends, with whom she shares everything from her deepest thoughts to the regular shopping sprees. At least, that’s what we’re occasionally told on TV, in books and many movies. As it turns out, a woman’s most prized possession is not a friend but her... |

Expectant mommies are more than just a ball of nerves and mood swings, a new study cited by New Scientist says. Because of the raging hormones, pregnant women can identify signs of anger or aggression on someone’s face with more accuracy than other women who are not expecting and men, the study has learned.

Countless studies so far have attempted to prove how one can tell when a person is lying, when they’re interested in something or someone else, or when they are trying only to appear so.

A new study, made possible by means of a grant from the National Institute on Aging, comes to show that loneliness, just like a common cold or other infection, can be contagious. This means that people who suffer from it tend to spread it to others who, in turn, are pushed to the periphery of the social network where... |

Seeing a woman as the main breadwinner in the household is no longer a strange occurrence. However, as we all know, this also entails that, in order to become it, she has to give up other responsibilities around the house, which usually translate in a reversal of roles in the relationship. On this note, researchers h... |

It has often been argued that a woman’s best way to cope with stress or any kind of strong and negative emotion is to hit the shops armed with nothing but a credit card and plenty of patience.

It wasn’t long ago that one economist set out to prove the world that having children wasn’t the way to happiness for married couples, but rather their way of deceiving themselves about what life had in store for them.

Chances are most of us have already found ourselves in a situation in which we’ve had a superior yell and belittle us whatever the reason, meaning, regardless of whether we did something wrong or not.

It has often been said that women are up to no good when they get behind the wheel for reasons ranging from their inability to focus on one thing alone (driving, that is) to not being as endowed as men when it comes to spatial orientation.

They say it’s easy to get a secret out of a woman because she will tell it to you without even having to ask.

No matter the purpose and / or the context, they say a lie is still a lie and, as such, it can only harm someone in the long run – most likely, the person telling it.

They sometimes say that women know what makes them always look good, no matter what: a less attractive friend to go out with.

They don’t call women crybabies for no reason, or at least, they don’t do so unjustly.

Retail therapy is not a myth as we might have believed five or so years ago, since it has been scientifically proven that women (and some men too) take comfort in the act of shopping, because it helps them deal with emotions, being used as some sort of safety net. That is not to say though that shopping doesn’t... |
