The term toxic masculinity is a hot topic these days. But what are considered red flags in a guy?

"I have dated a nice guy before, but it's very boring," she quipped. In an expanded YouTube version of the video, the woman...

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients were arrested in two separate incidents of human smuggling operations in California over the course of two days last week. The first, a 22-year-old Mexican DACA recipient of Riverside County, was questioned on January 25 after the arrest of two illegal aliens. The man allegedly admitted to border patrol agents that he was on scouting duty as part of a human smuggling crew. The DACA beneficiary allegedly had been monitoring border patrol activities and relaying them to other members of the crew to facilitate their human smuggling activities. This was not, apparently, the...

Sally's husband was often abusive. One morning, over breakfast, Hank began yelling at her because she was on the phone instead of keeping him company. Later, after Hank went to work, Sally picked up his shirts from the laundry, ran some other errands for him, and decided to cook his favorite dish for dinner. Do you think Sally did the right thing? Sally, alas, believed that if she could only create an ideal loving home atmosphere, her husband's abusiveness would stop. Unfortunately, she was in fact rewarding her husband's negative behavior. In response to his outbursts, Hank found his chores...

It is a common saying that nice guys finish last - and when it comes to pay packets, at least, research shows the genial really do end up at the back of the queue. A study which looked at the link between personality and wages has found that 'agreeable' workers earn significantly less than their meaner colleagues. The gap is particularly telling when broken down by gender, with the difference in pay between mean and nice men almost $10,000 a year. The study, titled 'Do Nice Guys - and Gals - Really Finish Last?', examined levels of 'agreeableness' attributed to...

Nice Guys Don’t Have to Finish Last Posted By Brett On September 28, 2008 @ 8:26 pm Oftentimes, when a man sees yet another bombshell on the arm of a dude who from all appearances is a complete d-bag, he is compelled to shake his fist at the sky and wonder if there is any justice in the world. “What does she see in him?” he asks in exasperation. The poser of this question is often a self-proclaimed “nice guy” who doesn’t understand why men of his breed so often seem to finish last while the moronic tools of the...

Cads and bounders may have a certain appeal, but when it comes to getting the girl, nice guys really do finish first.Scientists have shown that nice guys, often dismissed as being wimpish and lacking in excitement, are actually more attractive to women than their more macho counterparts. Psychologist Professor Mark Van Vugt set up a series of experiments designed to test the pros and cons of being nice. Volunteers were given a fictional sum of money and asked to make 'donations'. Some contributions were made public, while others were kept confidential. Members of the group were also asked what they...

My first vanity in over three years here. I just had to commend the great guys out there that really know how to treat a woman. I attended a wedding this past weekend and met what turned out to be an absolute gentleman in the way gentlemen are supposed to be. We talked and laughed and this man seemed to sense my needs even before I did. I wanted a cigarette and before I even had it out, he had a lighter at the ready to light it for me. He made sure I had everything I needed or wanted...

RIVIERA BEACH -- Not satisfied with saving people from burning buildings and fetching the occasional cat up a tree, Riviera Beach firefighters made an unusual rescue Saturday. It started when firefighter Chuck Reeves noticed something strange about a dead opossum in front of Station No. 4 on Military Trial just north of Blue Heron Boulevard.

Reeves then called fellow Riviera Beach firefighter Donnie Poole, who does animal rescue work on...
