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

First dates are a lot like job interviews. You can't score the soul mate or the paycheck without that first meet-and-greet. While some glide through this necessary evil with straight-A finesse, others bumble along a path of C-worthy mediocrity producing mixed results. Enter our first-date study guide for men. Whether or not you and that hot thing across from you will one day get married and pop out children, we can't say, but you can't go wrong following the four tactics below.

1. "I love that (insert clothing piece, hair style, tattoo, eye makeup)." When you first see us, compliment us. … Read More

First, I'd just like to say how grateful I am for all of the comments and Facebook friend requests I received yesterday wishing me good luck—I honestly appreciate each one. I just hope everyone comes back tomorrow so we can say a proper goodbye. Moving on: When I tell people that I blog about my love life on Glamour.com, the first thing most say is, "You're like Carrie Bradshaw with a penis! Can I call you Hairy Bradshaw?" Then they laugh uproariously as I fight off the urge to bang my head against the nearest hard surface. The second thing … Read More

We've been reading a lot about Conde Nast recently. Magazines at the high-end publisher (which publishes the likes of Vogue and Vanity Fair) are shuttering (rest in peace Elegant Bride!) and titles were instructed to slash 25 percent from their budget. Hell, even Gawker.com has it's own "Which Conde Nast Title Will Close Next?" contest. It's an unchic kind of a rough patch for the mega publishing house which has all its employees (understandably) shaking in their Jimmy Choos.

So imagine the breath of fresh(ish) air that bum-rushed our inboxes when we saw the publisher is entering … Read More

The David Letterman affairs-with-female-colleagues scandal has brought the nature of workplace relationships—specifically those with older, male bosses—into the spotlight. And with it, the debate about gender equality, both at work and in relationships.

"Young women in the work force have it rough both ways," writes Michelle Haimoff, who covers the progress of gender equality and "First World feminism" on her blog, genfem.com. "Female higher-ups tend to be so fiercely protective of their place on the totem pole that they refuse to help younger women succeed, and male higher-ups tend to only be interested in helping female underlings if some kind … Read More

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

If you think having frequent lackluster sex inches you closer to drawing the shades and diving head first into a Bell Jar-type depression—you may actually be correct. Bad Relationships May Be Genetic

A recent study of 295 women between the ages of 20 and 65, both pre- and post-menopausal, proved that those most dissatisfied with their sex lives are also significantly less content in general. Keep in mind, however, that "dissatisfied" doesn't mean "non-existent." All the women surveyed were getting laid at least twice a month, 90 percent with a regular partner. So it isn't … Read More

One of the most common complaints I hear from women is that men don't listen. Be it at work where their good ideas are ignored or at home when their spouse totally forgets what she told him. Why can't men listen? They can, if you follow these five steps.

So the next time you want to talk to your male boss, be heard in a meeting, discuss an issue with your spouse, or connect with your teenage son, remember Renee's Rules…

1. Speak Loud Enough

Men don't hear as well as women. Honestly. It starts at birth and continues through life. This was … Read More

On our quest to figure out what works (and doesn't) when it comes to meeting men we like, we tend to make very crude gender generalizations. For example, men are shameless whores who find all women desirable, while ladies are finicky and particular, only accepting dates and sexual invitations from men who fit what they want long-term.

But what if those assumptions aren't due to biology, but to socialization? A recent study by Finkel & Eastwick revealed that dating might be very different if we didn't expect guys to be "men of action," asking for our number, inviting us … Read More

The Daily Mail released another one of their sensational studies yesterday. This time the researchers cast their glare to women, drinking and their ability (or lack thereof) to have sex sober. "One in 20 women has NEVER had sex sober as they lack body confidence" screams the headline. Sober Dating: How To Date Without Drinking

According to a study of 3, 000 women aged 18-50, the average chick has had sex with over half of their sexual partners while drunk. On at least two occasions said ladies haven't remembered the name of the guy … Read More
