We all know at least one person who always has a significant other, even immediately after a breakup. Lately I’ve noticed that serial monogamy—leaping from one exclusive relationship to the next—has become a more popular and accepted dating trend among my friends and acquaintances. Why?

According to Psychology Today, serial monogamists usually believe in some kind of ideal love and in the importance of commitment to one partner, but keep a safe distance from the idea that true love should happen only once in a lifetime. Why chain ourselves to one Prince Charming when we can find a new one as … Read More

Go to any bar in any city at any given time and you'll likely see the same pattern: hordes of Katherine Heigls making small talk with rows of Seth Rogens (pre-weight loss, of course). Perhaps this was why Knocked Up struck such a reverberating tone and enjoyed so much success—afterall, how many times (a day!) do we see attractive women giving schlubby (but lovable) men a shot? Katherine Heigl

Well, it looks like science (once again!) is behind this phenomenon. New research suggests that evolution is making women more attractive and leaving men as Read More

If you're like us, you've wondered from time to time how this or that guy's tongue ended up in your mouth. And no, we're not talking about how a certain Air Supply song and a specific number of drinks led you to do something that you might feel compelled to deny the next day. Rather, we've wondered how the whole practice of kissing came about in the first place.

Fortunately for us, the geniuses over at Discovery have made a very short video entitled the "Skinny on Smooching," which attempts to lay out the history of kissing, and … Read More

We've all been told that love is blind, that it is illogical, that it is divine, and above all else, that it isn't exactly rocket science.

But if Dr. Andrew Trees is to be believed, what we've been told up until now might actually be dead wrong. In his new book, Decoding Love: Why It Takes Twelve Frogs to Find a Prince and Other Revelations from the Science of Attraction, he draws on the latest studies in economics, brain science, game theory, evolutionary psychology and other academic and scientific fields to explain why love is about a lot more than romance.

Who doesn't pay for sex 1 way or the other? I know a dude who claims that every guy has gotten with a pro at least once, I find this hard to believe (also, strip clubs don't count). But guys do pay for it, to a largish degree. We purchase attention and time. Whether it's a drink, a dinner or a diamond, we're purchasing the chance for you to get to know the real us (and sometimes distracting you from the real us with booze, lobsters and shine just long enough to slime our way into your pants). … Read More

Love and relationship coverage has all but come to a hault today, since Madge is taking center stage. Today's the day for Madonna and Guy Ritchie's official divorce, according to the Associated Press. Read more about their relationship in YourTango's Celebrity Love Blog.

Madge's divorce isn't the only order of the courts today. GoErie.com reports that police charged a 19-year old man in Florida with domestic battery after he threw a sandwich at his girlfriend while she was driving, nearly causing her to loose control of the car. A conviction may clarify that food-fighting … Read More

While most media is still focused on one man in particular, we decided a slow news Tuesday was a good time to check in with the topics floating around the male minds this week.

YourTango's Tomfoolery blogger, Tom Miller, is pondering the role that evolution plays in our dating and mating rituals. Since those who marry later in life—and therefore have fewer babies—tend to be a more educated, does this mean our population is getting dumber? Tom is dubious.

Did anyone of you see the film Idiocracy? Don't worry, you're not alone. It was not strong. It was really a poor follow-up to Office Space for director Mike Judge. I once heard that he wasn't going to do another film because of how much he disliked the first experience. Even Luke Wilson was unable to save this wreck. Anyways, the film's conceit is that mankind is on its way down from an intellectual standpoint. It's illustrated by our love of sound bite politics, wrestling, porn and other 'lowbrow' entertainment, and our penchant for bastardizing the English … Read More
