Are you starting 2023 feeling disheartened by the dating game, or as if your partner doesn’t give you the respect you deserve? Have you tried to be kind and caring in relationships, only to end up feeling as if you’re constantly taken advantage of? Does each date wear down your selfesteem a little more, leaving you exhausted and unhappy? I suspect many women will answer ‘yes’ to these questions. If you’re one of them, you need to read my story. I’m no ‘sexpert’ or vastly confident relationship guru, promising easy answers. But I have found a way to truly enjoy...

Something is wrong with American men, and everyone can see it. These failures of men are largely agreed upon by the political right, and even some on the left. Boys do not become men by passively consuming digital sex, social media, and seed oils. They do not become men by entering the rat race, paying into Social Security and living as permanent renters while their own savings amount to future pennies on the present U.S. dollar. Neither do they become men by skirting these problems and living in their parents’ basements, posting inflammatory online missives while remaining safely ensconced.

A writer has put together all the studies about physical and mental differences between conservatives and leftists, and the results are clear (but hard to look at). There’s a new Substack site in town and, if a recent post about leftists’ biological underpinnings is anything to go by, this site will go far. The writer at Biopolitics has assembled all sorts of information about the mental and biological traits of being on the left and right sides of the political spectrum and reached an over-arching conclusion: Leftists are physically ugly and mentally unpleasant, although it remains unclear whether their biology...

Judy Church, 64, of Salisbury, appeared briefly in court on Friday, one day after she was arrested on suspicion of poisoning Leroy Fowler, 55, with ethylene glycol, WCVB reported.

A man accused of victimizing local women on dating apps says "women lie." Timothy Olson called FOX6 Investigator Bryan Polcyn from the Milwaukee County Jail to tell his side of the story, but there were some questions he did not care to answer. "These women lie, and everybody believes it!" said Olson in the first of three phone calls totaling nearly 40 minutes over a two-day period. Olson placed the calls from a phone inside the Milwaukee County Jail where he is being held on charges for kidnapping a 79-year-old woman at gunpoint in Franklin.

During my "dating career" as a man living in North America I couldn't help noticing that women often have unrealistic expectations. They see themselves being passed around by those high quality men they feel entitled for, failing to realize those few men are in high demand. Time passes, options shrink, their standards don't change and they wonder why they are still single. The stats can prove there're not enough high quality men for every girl out there. The Female Delusion Calculator is a tool that can help women discern what is realistic from what is highly unlikely.

Swiping, benching, ghosting… Dating apps can be so cold. Now that disgruntled singles are realising the best way to meet someone is in real life, will a new world of ‘offline dating’ bring people back togethercan’t remember how we started talking, only that we were sitting on the rooftop of a friend’s house with the fake leather of the sofa underneath us tacky on the back of my thighs. He wasn’t my usual type. In his vintage football shirt and mullet he looked a bit like an art school student, but he was funny enough to make up for it....

...The unnamed woman could be seen near the top of El Castillo – or Pyramid of Kukulcán – in the Mexican state of Yucatán dancing while an enraged group of people shouted abuse at her from down below. Ascending the 82-ft pyramid at the Chichen Itza archaeological site – formerly one of the most important centres of the Mayan civilisation – has been prohibited since 2008. ...The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) issued a statement a few hours after the video was released on social media, noting that the monument had not been damaged. Fines for climbing the...

Exhausted and overwhelmed, Gretchen Miller felt the frustration of the past three years rise up within her. On a whim the 54-year-old from Sydney posted a message to her local community Facebook group. “Does anyone else feel like screaming?” she asked. The responses poured in. “I want to scream because of climate change and economic inequality,” one woman wrote. “Because of real estate agents and landlords,” said another. “My fiancé decided he didn’t love me anymore,” read one reply. Miller said she received more than 100 messages in the first hour. From that callout, the Shout Sisters group was formed....

If you're looking for love but are plagued by a promiscuous past, fear not. Having multiple sexual partners does not affect your marriage chances in the long-term, a study suggests. Instead, the effects of promiscuity on marriage rates is 'seasonal' and the number of sexual partners accrued over a lifetime does not appear to have an impact, scientists say.

I only learned this recently, but I was aware that women will start fights to get their man to leave so that she can monkeybranch with other men to try relationships and see if she can find somebody she prefers. I just wasn't aware that they will start a fight and break up and then call him up in the morning and tell him that he wants to reconcile because broke up with him so she could have sex with another guy that night. In truth, she wanted to have sex with another guy and still keep her man and...

first started using dating apps in 2016, when I found myself newly separated. Having been in a relationship with my now ex-husband for almost 10 years, I found dating had completely transformed in the decade I'd been out of the game. It was now all about "the apps": Tinder and Bumble were now the place to go to get a date. I know I'm not the only millennial who has emerged into this new landscape after a long-term relationship and could have really done with a map to navigate it—or at least a friendly guide. Instead, I embarked on three...

With Halloween fastly approaching, a woman on TikTok decided to share with viewers the story of how she was dumped by her ex-boyfriend over her Halloween costume. The woman claims that her ex-boyfriend believed that her original costume was “inappropriate” and accused her of cheating on him after she swapped costumes with another man.

Ask any single woman about the ease of dating in today’s world and they will most certainly roll their eyes and groan. As a single woman myself, I can vouch for how tough the dating climate is for every one of us. But unvaccinated, single women now have it that much harder. The reason? The decision as to whether or not they will date vaccinated men is now on the table. And I can tell you first-hand, which has nothing to do with the viability of the candidates, themselves, as rich and interesting prospects, but rather “sex” to put it...

Dating apps like Tinder are negatively affecting college students by causing trust issues, body dysmorphia and self-doubt.Since arriving at Syracuse University, I haven’t met a soul that hasn’t had some sort of experience with dating apps. Some may be looking for casual hookups, some may just be using it for fun, while others may be using these apps to find a relationship. During the past couple of years since the pandemic, dating app usage has skyrocketed, with Tinder recording 300 billion swipes in a day and other dating apps recording an increase in activity. Hookup culture can be great...

It’s a widely held belief that monogamy comes more naturally to women than it does to men. A lot of people subscribe to a narrative that says the sexes are just “wired” differently, with women having evolved to be monogamous and men to be promiscuous. There’s just one problem with this line of thinking—it’s not true, according to author Wednesday Martin’s latest book. In UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free , Martin offers a provocative read based on the latest research studies and interviews...

Sara was fed up. The New York City social worker, who declined to give her last name, had had countless dates cancel on her at the last minute. So, when a man she met on an app recently pulled out of their date an hour beforehand, she agreed to reschedule with one caveat: He would Venmo her a $50 deposit. “I’m just done with my time and energy being wasted,” Sara told The Post. “In almost every other scenario, when someone books a time of their day dedicated to you, they have a no-show policy or security deposit.” The man...

An unidentified woman with 22 Tinder notifications on her cellphone has been busted on board a flight — all while presumably sitting next to her husband and kids. The naughty notifications were spotted by a fellow plane passenger named Karima, who filmed footage of the frisky phone screen and posted it to TikTok.
