5 Things That Matter About Your Friends’ Partners

5 Things That Matter About Your Friends' Partners

Sometimes I think that the most entertaining reading out there is websites and magazines for men with advice about women.

Today’s stupid topic of the day comes to us courtesy of AskMen.com, a favorite among websites that try to pass the paranoid delusional fears of men off as fact. This time, it’s a list of what women notice about our friends’ boyfriends (I’m turning this into “partners,” because the requirements are pretty much the same whether you get down with women or men or both). And to their credit, their list isn’t way off: they include things like your manners, and how big of a flirt you are. More »

The Way You Flirt Is the Way You Love

Think flirting is all fun and games? A new study suggests there’s much more to it than that.

Research from the University of Kansas found that a person’s flirting style can predict success in the romance department.

“Knowing something about the way you communicate attraction says something about challenges you might have had in your past dating life,” lead author Jeffrey Hall, an assistant professor in communication studies, told Reuters. “Hopefully, this awareness can help people avoid those mistakes and succeed in courtship.” More »

Video: American Women are Lazy Daters

Video: American Women are Lazy Daters

An online dating site, Badoo, recently published a survey that found American women are the second worst daters in the world. To confirm these findings, The Alyona Show surveyed random people on the street and found that some women simply find it easier for the guys to approach them. Dating’s scary, man. Flirting with people you don’t know is torture. But I guess that makes you a bad flirter and not just a scared-to-flirt flirter. The Gloss’s editor-in-chief, Lilit Marcus, was featured on the show and broke down the difference between bad at flirting and just not willing to flirt. More »

Poll: How Do You Feel About Cat-Calls?

Poll: How Do You Feel About Cat-Calls?

Cat-calls seem to be an inherent part of living and working in any major city. Jennifer wrote an article a little while back about the way she feels about cat-calls. Now, Allure’s Daily Beauty Reporter has just posted an article on the subject, reporting that an anti-street harassment group, Hollaback, recently attended a New York city council meeting, urging “council members to consider creating “no-harassment” zones—where it would be illegal to cat-call women and girls— near city schools.” No decision has been reached yet; the council promised to look into it, but also noted that “legislation could violate First Amendment rights.” More »

The Heart Monitor: Top 10 Worst, Overused, Unsuccessful Pick-up Lines

Flirting — an evolved iteration of the mating ritual — is a common sport among singles of all species. Birds flaunt their feathers, dogs sniff each others’ butts, and men use pick-up lines.

Pick-up lines have been around since the cavemen (“Hey baby, I invented fire — can you light mine?). Some of them actually work, such as “Can I buy you a drink?” or “I’d love to take you out. Can I have your number?” But most men don’t rely on such banal, successful lines. They prefer the embarrassingly bad lines that are so cheesy and inappropriate, it’s no wonder they’re still single.
