Jude Law and Elizabeth Hurley aside, BeautifulPeople.com finds most Brits not hot enough.
If you think your online dating experience should be as glossy and exclusive as the velvet ropes of a celebrity-laden hangout or pages of Vogue magazine then get thee to BeautifulPeople.com.
BeautifulPeople.com is a dating site for all of you who get queasy double-clicking through the reams of average-looking folks on normal sites. If human imperfections make you gag, then it may be time to run your profile picture through the Photoshop monkeys and try your luck at Beautiful People.com. But don't expect a coveted slot. In the same vein as a Tyra Banks-worthy model casting call, you … Read More
Low body image is linked to riskier teen sex.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that a woman's body image is linked to her sexual habits. But a new study done at the University of Pittsburgh among teenage girls offers some eye-opening figures as to how the woman we see in the mirror affects our sex lives.
According to the results of the study, a young woman's ethnicity combined with her actual weight or perception of her weight may influence her to engage in risky sexual behaviors. Is the Pill Harmful?
"Those girls who were both sexually active and overweight, or who thought they were overweight, were less likely to … Read More
Sexy Halloween costumes are to be expected. Here's how to keep them classy.
You know the old Halloween is Slutoween adage. An annual October ritual where normal chicks indulge in their inner porn star. Hemlines rise, cleavage is pumped—a bloody prom Queen looks like something out of a fetish video and men never realized how attracted they were to Smurfette. Oh that blue skin! It's the most predictable of predictable, with many of us drifting into a lazy costume. We think: why not just put on a skanky leotard, handcuffs and cop hat? 7 Easy, Last-Minute Couples Costumes
And while, yes, Halloween is certainly an excuse to push those babies up … Read More
A date takes an awkward turn after an unexpected family resemblance.
Everyone—god love ya if you haven't—has a tale of dating gone wrong. Whether it happens on a blind date or three months into a blooming relationship, these disasters usually strike out of the blue and leave you stunned, slack-jawed and, often, downright offended. And that's exactly why they make for such good stories. Hopefully, too, they teach us a thing or two about the pursuit of love. Here's my tale.
I had known Billy* for five years through mutual friends, and at some point we started hanging out independently. I was still sailing on the friend boat when Billy indicated … Read More
A bra with TV screens may help cure cancer.
While we aren't fans of tacky arts and crafts, if they're tacky arts and crafts with a cause, then we give 'em a pass.
Enter The Boob Tube Bra. Yes, that's right. A generous-sized bra with screens on each cup, encouraging, nay ensuring, that men focus on your other set of eyes. You can completely throw out the large-breasted lady plight of "men never look at my face! look up here mister." Yeah, that's out the window once you strap on this baby. Me, My Husband And My Baby: Who Owns My Breasts?
On a serious note, the … Read More
What men find truly hot and sexy might come as a surprise.
As impressionable young girls brainwashed by images of Pam Anderson (and slack jawed by her effect on men), many of us (foolishly) employed questionable clothing in the name of male approval. Got breasts? Let 'em pop, baby. Dress? Hike that hemline so high that sitting doubles as a gyno appointment. No bra, no problem. Too tight? Nay. Not tight enough. Dress Your Way to Better Sex
We were right, of course. Many a man's eye got a free all-day pass at our (practically) naked bodies. But oh how angry had we known an outfit out of Pam … Read More
Would Kate Gosselin have better dating prospects if she kept her wavy hairdo?
As if you haven't noticed, the world is just captivated with these Jon and Kate Gosselin people. Newsstands are littered with their mugs almost every week. It's almost like they're the low-rent, philandering Brangelina. Kid army and all.
Throughout this entire media circus, however, a lot of attention has been paid to Kate Gosselin's spiky, asymmetrical haircut. Needless to say, it isn't the most feminine of looks. In fact, while flipping through pictures of Jon and Kate when they were younger (yes, we did. don't judge) we were shocked at how much softer and prettier Kate looked … Read More
Beauty can be many things. One man describes his unconventional crushes.
Whenever I want to get my sister riled up, I'll start gushing about Natalie Portman, Penelope Cruz, Padma Lakshmi or some other perfect elevens. "Yes, Ryan, they're beautiful, but real women don't look like that! This is why you're still single!" She has a point—sometimes I do let my shallower instincts get the best of me. But I nonetheless consider myself a connoisseur of unconventional beauty.
I'm gonna be straight with you—I have a nasty tendency to get distracted by people's physical "flaws", including my own. It's a significant character flaw that I'm working to fix. And I'm hopeful that I'll … Read More
Don't turn your pretty friend into "the enemy," here's why!
Ryan asked us this morning what kind of men we prefer to date. I want to talk about what kind of girlfriends we like having. Okay, let's be honest—you know which of your friends are beautiful. You know when your friend gets more guys than you.
I have some beautiful friends. And I like looking at them. Period. I do not feel competition (but then again, an ex once called me the "least competitive person on the planet"). Some women feel threatened by their prettier peers. Why do we do this, girls? I know that insecurity plays a … Read More
Complex magazine's recent list of hot women in Hollywood who are actually funny (their phrasing, not ours) inspired us to highlight the funny blokes out there who are actually good-looking. While most of us lady folk are wise to the fact that laughs last longer than looks, we still appreciate a side of smoking (hot) with our joking. Hey, if supermodels were hilarious, they'd be on this list. As is, here are men who make us sweat with their perfect combo of humor and handsomeness.
