Relationships: Are There Four People In Every Relationship?

There are people out there that are in an open relationship and then there are people out there that aren't. When it comes to a relationship that is monogamous, it could be said that there will only be two people involved. Unlike the other type of relationship, each person will only need to think about one other person. If they were not in this type of relationship, they would both have far more people to think about. A Very Different Dynamic Each person would have an attachment to the other and they would both have an attachment to other people. Due to what is going on, a lot of their time could be spent on this area of their life. Conversely, both of them might not have a strong emotional connection to each other or to the other people in their life. Thus, while both of them will sha...

To Lead To Fewer Future Disagreements Think Objectively About Romantic Conflicts

RELATIONSHIPS & DATING Lindsey Rodriguez, University of South Florida The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea Consciously channeling the perspective of a neutral third party can defuse romantic conflict and prevent future disputes, according to a study of 716 Americans my colleagues and I published in the journal Couple and Family Psychology: Research and Practice. We surveyed men and women across the U.S. who were living at home with their romantic partner in May 2020 – at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. We asked them to identify a recent disagreement with their partner. Then we randomly assigned them to briefly write about that recent relationship conflict. We asked half the participants to write about the disagreement from thei...

The Satisfaction Gap — I Got Mine, Did You Get Yours?

The orgasm gap and why women climax less than men. Imagine a steamy sex scene involving a woman and a man from your favorite television show or movie. It’s likely that both parties orgasm. But this doesn’t reflect reality. Because during heterosexual sexual encounters, women have far fewer orgasms than men. This is called the orgasm gap. And it has been documented in the scientific literature for more than 20 years. In one study of more than 50,000 people, 95% of heterosexual men said they usually or always orgasm when sexually intimate, while only 65% of heterosexual women said the same. Research shows that some people believe this gap is because women’s orgasms are biologically elusive. Yet, if this were true, women’s orgasm rates would not differ depending on circumstance. Indeed, many ...

Really? The Wacky World Of Meeting Women On The Internet

I rejoined Match.com a few days ago. I've belonged to Match 4-5 times since the early 2000's. I rejoined because they have the largest database of potential partners. Before I came back to Match, I was on a couple of smaller "niche" dating sites, but they just didn't have enough members to be effective in what is essentially a numbers game. At this point, I've recently only "dated" one person I've met on a dating site. I was more interested in her than she was in me, and we wound up friends, but she woke me up, lightly cracking me open to realize how much I want a partner in my life. But since I can't yet speak to the dating part on internet dating this time around, this article is going to focus on meeting people. It will also be focused on a man's perspective but I hope it will be useful...

Parents Here’s How To Get Your Kids To Think Twice About Popular Social Media Challenges

Teenage brains are drawn to popular social media challenges – here’s how parents can get their kids to think twice. Viral social media trends started innocently enough. In the early 2010s there was planking, the “Harlem Shake” dance and lip syncing to Carly Rae Jepsen’s summer anthem “Call Me Maybe.” Then came the ice bucket challenge, which raised an estimated US$115 million for ALS research. In recent years, social media challenges have grown more popular – and more dangerous, leading to serious injuries and even deaths. It’s not hard to see why. The milk crate challenge dares people to walk or run across a loosely stacked pyramid of milk crates, the Tide pod challenge involves eating laundry detergent pods, and the Benadryl challenge encourages taking six or more doses of over-the-c...

It’s Not Exactly Science But ‘Love Languages’ Might Help You Understand Your Partner

‘Love languages’ might help you understand your partner – but it’s not exactly science. If you’ve ever flipped through the pages of a women’s lifestyle magazine, there’s a good chance you’ve stumbled onto a quiz promising to answer the question “what is your love language?”. Or if social media is more your speed, there’s no shortage of tweets, memes, GIFs and TikToks bringing the concept of “love languages” into the mainstream. This theory originated from a book published in 1992, The Five Love Languages, written by American author and pastor Gary Chapman. Chapman began to notice trends in couples he was counseling, perceiving they were misunderstanding each other’s needs. The five love languages he subsequently proposed are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of servi...

The Friends-With-Benefits Trap – What To Do When A Man Only Wants You For Sex

Are you currently involved in a "friends with benefits" relationship? Was it fun at first but now you're finding it harder and harder to keep the sex separate from your feelings of love? Are you driving yourself crazy because you are falling more and more in love but he doesn't feel the same way? It can be very difficult for a woman to stay involved in a friends with benefits situation. But getting out, can be even harder. The Problem With One-Night Stands It all seemed like a great idea in the beginning. You were already friends with him and this was a way to have a casual relationship without the need to go out and try to meet someone. One night stands can be fun once in a while, but it can be a lot of work to always have to be on the look-out for a new guy. At least with this friends ...
