What Turns Women On?
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
This is something that all single men yearn to know, as they practice the "lines" they'll use when they meet a new woman. But it turns out that it's not so much what you SAY that matters, but your tone of voice when you say it (and there's not much you can do about that).
Women are turned on by low male voices. In the same...

How Fatherhood Changes Men
Monday, September 26, 2011

Whether they see themselves as tough or just self-reliant, men are less likely than women to seek routine, preventive medical care, like blood pressure and cholesterol screenings. Black men are even worse about this than whites--but for a DIFFERENT reason. This could be one of the reasons that women (in both races) tend to live longer than men....

The Classroom Today
Monday, January 17, 2011
On Martin Luther King Day, we remember the hard task of integrating our society--starting with our schools. Now there's another reason why this is important: it turns out that the good grades that high schoolers earn aren't just good for making the honor roll--they also make them healthier as adults, too.
Studies have long shown that...

Who Cheats?
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
And the surprising reason WHY - Sometimes what's going on in the world just doesn't make sense: Men are more likely to get hurt in the breakup of a romantic relationship, but they are also more likely to CAUSE the breakup, since they are more likely to cheat. But most of the time this happens under special conditions: The more...
Dancing Tells All
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
UPDATE by a psychologist! - UPDATE--A reader writes: "Your article entitled 'Dancing Tells All' is wrong! I have found that women do not care about how a man dances, only that he does dance (to play along with the crowd, hence showing community participation). Anything beyond that, like 'smooth moves & such,' are poison to...
Measuring Male Lust
Monday, September 27, 2010
Women know how to judge men, but how do men judge women? Men who are looking for short-term companionship are more interested in a woman's body than those looking for a long-term relationship, who focus on a woman's face. So gals, if you want to understand your latest date's motivation, pay attention to where he's looking.

What could be as sexy as a lady in red? A gentleman in red!
Simply wearing the color red or being bordered by that color makes a man more attractive and sexually desirable to women, according to a series of studies. And women are unaware of this arousing effect.

Cheating Men
Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Nothing new - The nation's fascination with high-profile men who stray, like Tiger Woods, is nothing new. In light of the male propensity to have extramarital affairs, is it even worth getting married?
Psychologist Andrew Irwin-Smiler says, "As a culture, we have a perception that men just want sex and that all men are...
Why Men are Like Dogs
Wednesday, August 2, 2006
Men are like dogs. No, this is not a sexist statement, it's a scientific fact. Both men and male dogs lower their voices when they feel the need to dominate. Dogs growl at people and other dogs, and men do the same thing (at least when it comes to other men).
Ker Than writes in LiveScience.com that a new study shows that the lower the...

Monday, January 13, 2003
Men: Are you feeling moody? Having hot flashes? It turns out that one-third of men experience these menopausal symptoms, according to Swedish researchers. But there's good news: you no longer have to blame yourself for your beer belly, since it?s the fault of your genes.

Marriage Keeps Men Alive
Monday, September 2, 2002
Marriage is so important for men's health that single guys have more risk of dying than smokers.

The effect is less for women.
Professor Andrew Oswald...
Modern Times for Men
Tuesday, May 28, 2002
