Golden Girl Is A Beach Book Unlike Any Other

In this moving romantic fantasy, an author gets the chance to rewrite her own story over the course of one golden summer. Divorced novelist Vivi was killed in a hit-and-run, but she isn’t quite finished with life on earth. In the afterlife, she’s given three chances to influence the world she’s leaving behind. Should she use them to help her struggling adult children? To hide evidence of her own youthful indiscretion? Elin Hilderbrand fills Vivi’s story with romance, nostalgia, and heartwarming lessons about the importance of letting go. Plus there’s all the sun-drenched Nantucket beauty we expect from the beach-read queen. More than just a sweetly sentimental diversion, Golden Girl is the kind of book you tell all your friends about as soon as you’re done. Every product/service is sel...

Educated Men Masturbate More Than Other Men

Masturbation is least common among less educated males (89%). More men who are high school educated (95%) and who are college educated (96%) are involved in masturbation for at least some period of their lives. Masturbation frequencies after marriage are highest (69%) among men who are college educated. Only 42% of men who are high school educated, masturbate after marriage and only 29% of the least educated males. There is no objective measure of a person's imaginative capacities. But someone who is more educated is likely to be more imaginative because they use their minds and have been exposed to more ideas. Those who are successful academically may have a more active imagination due to increased mental capacities in general. Education is therefore only a guide to the likelihood that so...

How Women Dress For Other Women

“If you can’t be better than your competition,” Vogue editor Anna Wintour once said, “just dress better.” Indeed, new research suggests that women don’t just dress to be fashionable, or to outdo one another when it comes to enticing men. They also dress for other women. But Wintour’s quote misses some of the nuances that go into the outfits women choose with female friends, co-workers and acquaintances in mind. It’s not just about dressing better. In fact, my colleagues and I found that women can be motivated by another factor: avoiding the slings and arrows of other women.

A Rose By Any Other Color

Giving a rose to someone you love can be very special, however if you happen to choose the wrong color of rose, the message you send can turn disastrous. With so many different rose colors, all meaning different things, it can be hard to know what to give to a friend, relative or spouse without sending a mixed message. If you only want to go by the old standby of a red rose, then there is little else to think about. However, if you are adventurous, you can give rose of a different color. Here is what each of the main rose colors mean. We all know that a red rose signifies love. Any husband who has had to stop at a flower shop on his way home to say sorry for a real, or imaginary, transgression towards his spouse, knows that when all else fails, it is the best way to go. Red roses are the...

The Dating Jungle: How Men And Women See Each Other When Online Dating

In the world of online dating, nothing is as it seems. But that doesn’t stop many of us from leaping to the wrong conclusions about people. A recent paper presented at the Annual Conference of the International Communication Association and reported on in the press suggested that when evaluating photographs from online dating profiles, men and women judge enhanced and un-enhanced photos somewhat differently. Enhanced photos, those in which a person has used makeup, hair styling, filters, or post-editing, were rated by both men and women as more being attractive. But while women also rated men in these photos as more trustworthy than in ordinary photos, the opposite was true of women: men rated women in enhanced photos as less trustworthy. One theory posits that “what is beautiful is good”,...

How Bob Saget’s Danny Tanner Was So Different From Other Sitcom Dads

Bob Saget, who died on Jan. 9, 2022, is probably best remembered for his role as Danny Tanner on the popular sitcom “Full House,” which aired from 1987 to 1995. I think fans of the show have such fond memories of this character because Danny exemplified what it meant to “be there” as a parent. A single dad whose wife had passed away, he was eager to lend an ear to daughters D.J., Stephanie and Michelle, offering them support and reassurance through the twists and turns of childhood and adolescence. Why heap so much praise on a sitcom dad? It’s easy to disregard TV as mere mindless entertainment. But entertainment media can both reflect and reshape culture – including how fathers interact with their children. They can influence how viewers think about fathers, regardless of the accuracy o...

Cuba shows his other side during a dreamy love sequence.

The captivating Cuba Gooding Jr. started his showbiz career break-dancing for Lionel Richie. He was born January 2. 1968 in The Bronx. His father, Cuba Gooding Sr., was the lead vocalist in the R&B group The Main Ingredient. That makes sense, because if we were having a sausage-fest, we’d definitely want Cuba to provide the main ingredient! Cuba’s acting career began with bit parts on 80s More...

Why bipolar disorder is becoming more ‘desirable’ than other mental illnesses

Bipolar disorder is a severe mental health condition. But in recent years it has become the one mental health diagnosis that patients are willing to accept. Research shows that to some people it has actually become “desirable” when compared with other mood disorders. This could be because of bipolar disorder’s association with creativity. For example, Charles Dickens and Beethoven are thought to have had bipolar disorder. The de-stigmatising effect of considerable media coverage could also be factor. As could its association with successful celebrities such as Stephen Fry, Kanye West and Carrie Fisher. Figures like Fry – who made the revealing BBC television documentary, The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive – have used their positions to bring home the disturbing realities of the cond...
