A study about facial attraction confirms that men like exaggerated feminine features.
Ever wonder why gay men drool over musclular Ken dolls while most women don't look twice? Or why the pouty stylings of Megan Fox (who's a pretty girl, sure) seem to have an unearthly pull on straight men? Attraction At First Eye Contact?
Us too, and now thanks to a Harvard study we find that male attraction to exaggerated masculine or feminine features (depending on the man's sexual orientation) is part of biology's big master plan. According to the study of 900 men and women, published online in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, both gay men … Read More
If so, it's probably his fault.
Maybe the only reason women like Kate Gosselin treat their men like little kids is because their men act like little kids. Maybe if these men started behaving like men, their women would see them as men. Maybe, as Oprah has said multiple times, we teach people how to treat us. In Defense Of Kate Gosselin
Askmen thinks so. And in a new article entitled, "Reverse Emasculating Trends," they tell their readers that if they want to stop being emasculated by their women, they'd better stop asking for it.
Among the pieces of advice they offer … Read More
It has been shown that women prefer a little bit of facial hair, but are mustaches the new stubble?
A recent British study revealed that women were found to rate men with stubble as, "tough, mature, aggressive, dominant, and masculine—and as the best romantic partners, either for a fling or a long-term relationship."Read: Stubble: The Best of Both Worlds
But this study only asked women about men who shave their faces clean of hair (or the ones can't grow any hair to begin with), the rugged man who always has a little bit of stubble and guys who sport full-on beards. It left out one of the most important facial feature a man can create, style … Read More
The difference between being masculine and being a jerk.
"Finding the a*****e within" is "in" right now for men, says Details magazine, and it's all because relationships are making men less manly.
As relationships become more egalitarian and the world more P.C., author Simon Dumenco writes, some men feel more pressured to seek sex on the sly to prove to themselves testosterone still courses through their muscles as they empty the Diaper Genie.
By all means, boys: enjoy those happy-ending massages and seek refuge marathan rounds of Halo. Adulthood is hard, y'all!
Harrumph. We beg to disagree: "a*****e" doesn't mean the same thing as "masculine."
Study says don't look to a man's father to find out how attractive he'll be.
Not that you should have been checking out your significant other's mom or dad, anyway...but a recent study says it might be a useless barometer to judge how attractive your guy or girl will be in old age.
The study, out of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, suggests a woman's beauty is a gift from both of her good-looking parents but a man's facial attractiveness is harder to place. It says attractive fathers do not necessarily have attractive sons and you can't look at a man's mother to find out if he'll still be … Read More
One man argues that women need to bring emotion back into sex.
In theory, modern men enthusiastically welcome the freer sexuality of their female counterparts. It all seems quite good on paper: women get the opportunity to openly express sexuality on their own terms and men, well, get to have lots of sex with women. Free of commitment. Everybody wins. Right?
Maybe not. Sure, given the right gal in the right situation, any guy can appreciate a taste of modern free love. But the issue at hand here is vastly complex. In the long run, modern men have responded to women's freer sexuality with more than a bit of anxiety and confusion. … Read More
Is it the end of an era for the metrosexual?
Well, it was bound to happen. Neatly groomed faces, color-coordinated outfits and a sincere interest in yoga had their heydays as emblems of the metrosexual. Now, it seems, the scruffy, rough and tumble, "I-care-more-about-diesel-fuel-than-Diesel-Jeans" man is back, kicking his manicured incarnation to the curb.
We started seeing it on the faces of our male friends, husbands and boyfriends this past winter, when nary a clean-shaven chin was to be found. Well-fitted pants have started to sag, as straight men embrace the "just out of bed" look on a literal level. And good luck getting Madonna into a playlist … Read More
Facial features reveal if someone's looking to play or stay.
Out of the two men pictured, one is interested in a long-term relationship while the other would rather just get in your pants. Can you guess which is which?
British university researchers surveyed 60 students to determine whether they were more interested in a relationship or a one night stand, then separated their images into two groups. The images of men interested in long-term love were all morphed into one composite image, the same with men looking for a quickie. (The process was repeated for the ladies).
When shown to more than 700 heterosexual subjects, the majority of both … Read More
