New study also says aggressive, prehistoric pick-up tactics work for those seeking casual sex.
Ladies, how do you prefer to be approached by a man? There is surely no single answer to such a question—unless, of course, you're talking about a one-night stand, according to a new study.

Scouring the interwebs the last day or so, I've discovered that men can't be totally pigeon-holed into anything regarding preferences or even gender roles. It's a brave, new, scary world out there.
Here are six myths about men that the web has recently dispelled:
Men don't like cats. Cat's are not man's best friend. There's some psychic connection between women (particularly older women) and cats that men just don't get, right? Apparently not the case. Lost Plum runs through the scenarios in which a heterosexual dude may have come to own a cat.
College Humor helps bridge the gap between dating and just hooking up.
Dating coaches are not really not that new. Literature and commonsense tells us that the profession has been around since day one. But is the lessons from a dating coach really that much different from the advice of a pickup artist? Our friends at College Humor help us explore.
