This week, The Wall Street Journal reported on something I've heard before: taking the pill could change which guys turn you on. Breaking down the intricacies of personal taste to basic science, evolutionary psychologists and biologists have produced studies demonstrating that a woman is attracted to the scent, or pheromones, of men who have different immune systems than she does, perhaps since Read more

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! I'm afraid of what people will think if I date someone who isn't very good looking, but has a great personality. There's this great guy I know who I really click with, but the only thing stopping me from wanting a relationship with him are his looks. As much as I hate myself for this, in the Read more

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! All right, I am a compulsive flirt. I juggle around 10 or so guys a day via text/Facebook. I never do anything sexual with these men, but I do make hints here and there. I never actually follow through, though. What's strange is I notice whenever a guy comes along that has potential to Read more

Opposite may entice, but it's likeness that attracts. With dating sites matching users by facial symmetry to maximize attraction, expect the next dating gimmick to analyze users' profiles. A new study found initial attraction and couple happiness is higher among people who talk and write alike.

Earlier this week, I told you scientists thought political correctness was impeding gender research, so open your minds for this finding. Women are actually masochists when it comes to dating, preferring men whose feelings they are unsure of to those they are. Even when they're all attractive! I know, you could have told me this. We don't need to look beyond fiction or real life to know the Read more

Opposite personalities may attract, but so do physical look-alikes. Yes, not only are we attracted to people who look like us, but we're attracted to people who resemble our opposite-sex parents. Personally, I think people just run in homogeneous circles and familiarity breeds comfortableness, but science disagrees. It's not just about hair and eye color or personal style, but facial structure. Read more

Beautiful women get a bad rap. In literature, they're the seducers who lead men to their ends; in real life, they've been called too sexy for the workplace (or self-proclaimed it). I would have dismissed it all as stereotyping, but there's an actual biological explanation. Study after study shows men are more likely to take risks when attractive women are present. Skateboarders perform riskier Read more

Next time you spend Saturday night home alone you can seek comfort not in chocolate but in knowing you're not alone. Millions of people around the world are in the same position, home alone on a Saturday night because they "don't possess the qualities that members of the opposite sex seek in potential mates." That's Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa's theory. The evolutionary psychologist is famous for his Read more
