    Men, like any group, cannot be neatly categorized into a one-size-fits-all box. However, that doesn’t stop a large part of the population from assuming they’re all the same. It’s important to challenge these stereotypes and recognize the unique qualities and differences among men. Here are 10 common myths about men and why they just aren’t true. 1. Men Aren’t Emotional. 2. Men Are All About Physical Strength. 3. Want a partner? Attract love with the power of your mind. 4. Men Don’t Need Companionship. 5. Men Aren’t Good Communicators. 6.

    Psychopathy signs in women tend to be more related to sex than in men Dr Clive Boddy, an expert at Anglia Ruskin University, says female psychopaths are 'more common than we think' because studies have long failed to identify them. According to Dr Boddy, female psychopaths use deceit and sexually seductive behaviour to gain social and financial advantage more than male psychopaths do. 'Psychopaths are driven by a need to have power over and control other people via whatever resources they have available to them,' he told MailOnline. 'For female psychopaths this may veer towards manipulation through seduction, relational aggression,...

    Frog mating can be a competitive and sometimes deadly affair as many males compete for females – but females have some tricks to avoid unwanted attention Male frogs commonly coerce female frogs into mating, but some females have come up with ways to avoid harassment – including playing dead. Many frog species, including the European common frog (Rana temporaria), only have a short window of a few weeks each year to mate. This means that lots of males simultaneously compete for the attention of females, sometimes leading to deadly clashes as individuals are submerged under a competing group of males....

    A startup founder says the popular dating app Hinge permanently banned him after he posted a profile picture dressed in his Israeli military uniform toting a machine gun. Noy Leyb blames antisemitism for his expulsion from Hinge and Tinder, which are both owned by Match Group, and has demanded an explanation. The hunky New Yorker returned home earlier this month after more than four months fighting Hamas with his elite reserves unit in the Israel Defense Forces.

    Huma Abedin is known for being the right-hand woman to Hillary Clinton for years. She split from her husband Anthony Weiner several years ago after a series of scandals in which he was involved. The scandal that finally brought the marriage to an end was when Weiner was allegedly sexting a 15-year-old. He later pled guilty to one charge of transferring obscene material to a minor and served about a year in prison. But Abedin surprised a few people when she posted a picture with a new guy, with the pair on an apparent Valentine's Day date in Paris. It's...
  • Your AI Girlfriend Is a Data-Harvesting Horror Show

    Lonely on Valentine’s Day? AI can help. At least, that’s what a number of companies hawking “romantic” chatbots will tell you. But as your robot love story unfolds, there’s a tradeoff you may not realize you’re making. According to a new study from Mozilla’s *Privacy Not Included project, AI girlfriends and boyfriends harvest shockingly personal information, and almost all of them sell or share the data they collect. “To be perfectly blunt, AI girlfriends and boyfriends are not your friends,” said Misha Rykov, a Mozilla Researcher, in a press statement. “Although they are marketed as something that will enhance your...

    Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N77JYGmIMIMoving in together and starting a new family is a big move for most young people, but the risks are much higher if the couple is financially unprepared. That’s the situation for 20 year-old Maggie from Atlanta. On a recent episode of “The Ramsey Show,” she described supporting her unemployed boyfriend and his child while earning a modest income. She’s now considering moving in with them. Dave Ramsey was stunned. “Do you hear yourself out loud?” he asked. “Listen to yourself — I’m going to move in with a guy who has a 1-year-old and doesn’t work and I’m...
  • A new global gender divide is emerging (Gen-Z men are increasingly conservative, Gen-Z women are increasingly liberal)

    Financial Times ^ | 01/26/2024 | John Burn-Murdoch
    One of the most well-established patterns in measuring public opinion is that every generation tends to move as one in terms of its politics and general ideology. Its members share the same formative experiences, reach life’s big milestones at the same time and intermingle in the same spaces. So how should we make sense of reports that Gen Z is hyper-progressive on certain issues, but surprisingly conservative on others? The answer, in the words of Alice Evans, a visiting fellow at Stanford University and one of the leading researchers on the topic, is that today’s under-thirties are undergoing a great...

    The prominent online dating service eHarmony is facing backlash from the conservative Christian group One Million Moms for its recent LGBT-inclusive advertisement featuring a lesbian couple in a domestic setting.The commercial is part of eHarmony’s “Get Who Gets You: Warm Laundry” campaign, which, One Million Moms says, is “normalizing and glamorizing the LGBTQ lifestyle.” In the commercial, a lesbian couple is shown intimately lounging on a couch, their legs entwined and heads close together. As the laundry cycle completes, one of the women stands to collect the clothes while her partner sprawls on the bed. The scene continues with the...

    British wives boasting of luxury new lives funded by millionaire husbands in Dubai have been warned they risk being dumped homeless on the streets at any moment. Experts have revealed a surge in complaints from not only women but also men betrayed and dumped by wealthy partners after upping sticks for the Middle East. The alert comes amid a TikTok and Instagram trend of UK women sharing footage of spending sprees in the United Arab Emirates after wedding wealthy husbands.

    For women who have observed the unhappy zero-sum battle of the sexes, many feel that the modern world, for all its promises, has failed them.. Hannah Neeleman, a Utah-based cattle farmer and mother of eight, is perhaps the most popular Instagram “tradwife” — a growing category of social media influencers who reject the not-so-traditional 9-to-5 workforce in favor of homeschooling their children, homemaking, or running a family business. Though her content is entirely wholesome, she (and other tradwife accounts) are not without controversy. In the case of Ballerina Farm, followers recently uncovered that Daniel Neeleman, Hannah’s husband, is the son...

    Women who are not pregnant are stockpiling abortion pills, according to a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. The practice of requesting a prescription for abortion pills without being pregnant is called “advance provision.” Such requests spiked during two recent periods, including after the May 2, 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and after conflicting rulings in April 2023 about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of mifepristone, the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion, Mother Jones reported of the study. The research was conducted by...

    Kylie’s $13 hourly wage wasn’t making ends meet. Looking for extra money, she eventually signed up for a role in a pornographic film, earning $1,000 in a day.

She moved away and became a pornographic model full time. Now she operates an OnlyFans account and makes $19,000 per month selling pictures and videos of herself. “I’m proud that I changed my life,” she told the Toronto Sun. “Everyone my age has thought of doing OnlyFans; I...

But the night seemingly stopped going smoothly when Claire stepped away to use the bathroom and found several unexpected items inside. In the video, which has clocked up more than 12 million views since it was posted last week, Claire claimed she discovered expensive skincare stored in the man’s bathroom cabinet.

    Bad smells, loud talking and getting too close, too quickly are all major red flags when dating someone new, Americans told Fox News. “I think just being really friendly and touchy with other girls is a red flag,” Cassie, from Arizona, told Fox News. Joseph said it’s a red flag if a potential girlfriend starts invading his personal space. “When she’s getting a little too comfortable and kind of breaching the privacy zone,” he told Fox News. “And, you know, the individual barrier zone.” SNIP The most common red flag for men — with nearly two-thirds agreeing — is if...

    The woman who plunged from a luxury Upper East Side apartment building Thursday had a blowout fight with her spouse just moments before she took the fatal leap, according to sources — but the “devastated” husband said “he wasn’t even home.” Alina Page, 35, jumped from the roof on the 36th story of The Brittany after her spouse confronted her about her drinking habits, law enforcement sources told The Post. Her husband, Brian Page, said he wasn’t there when the tragedy unfolded but declined to answer questions about whether there was a fight. “She was the love of my life,...
