Does getting checked out give you self-esteem? Does unnerving eye contact inspire you to standardized test greatness? Per a study, giving a woman an "objectifying" glance lessens her ability to perform well on a test. An ogled woman doesn't score as well as a women with whom strict eye contact was kept.
The Frisky's Dear Wendy warns about the pitfalls of trying to jump straight from relationship to friendship, and advises that there's no need to stress about a physical difficulty in making eye contact.
A recent study out of Israel suggests a man's oxytocin levels may actually be on par with their wives/girlfriends during the child rearing process. Researchers drew blood from 80 couples who were raising a six-week old baby and found identical amounts in their blood stream. As the child matured to six months, the scientists once again analyzed the levels and found the same result. It seems that a mother and father's oxytocin levels rise together while they watch their wee one grow.

People often say that the eyes are the windows to the soul...the best way to tell how a person REALLY feels. But the mouth can be just as important a signifier when it comes to true feelings, and its messages are much harder to mask...
A new scientific study has just "proven" what every female on the planet already knows: men like looking at breasts. What's more, men don't just like looking at breasts, but nearly half of them (forty-seven percent) will look at a woman's breasts before he looks at her face, and will look at them longer than any other body part.
While cell phone shenanigans, a lack of physical attraction, talking too much about yourself, and blatant pre-date lies definitely apply to both genders, there are some specific reasons for why a gal won't give a guy the time of day again. Don't get grabby, have manners, make eye contact and 10 other first-date tips from women.
Our good friends Em & Lo informed us yesterday that a wedding band is the #1 male power accessory needed to lure in the ladies. We've crafted five rules that don't require a wife to attract a woman's attention.
Can one possibly tell within the first ten seconds of meeting if there's a mutual attraction? The journal Archives of Sexual Behavior seems to think so, even pinpointing the exact time to a tenth of a second. Not surprisingly, men are ridiculously easy to read. Researchers say that on the first meeting if he breaks your gaze at the four second mark, he's just sort of "eh' about you. Yet if the initial eye contact extends to the 8.2 second mark than he's into you. Women on the other hand, notoriously confusing in nature, will give equal eye contact to men they're into and ones they aren't, say scientists. This information was culled from 115 students, secretly being filmed, meeting actors and actresses for the first time. While the cameras filmed the meeting, scientists analyzed the tapes and later quizzed the students on whom they were most physically attracted. In conclusion, they theorize men use eye contact as a form of mating, while women—who, let's be honest, aren't really the aggressors anyway—shy away from overt eye contact to subconsciously avoid unwanted attention.
Today's revolutionary finding comes from The University of Aberdeen, where researches found that people interpret eye-contact and smiling as signs that you like them, and these social cues make them reciprocate the love. Telling someone you like them is another way to up your attraction factor. Who woulda thunk it?
