Seeing people we consider more attractive than ourselves could bring us closer to God. In a recent study, participants who were shown online profiles of attractive people of the same sex described themselves as more religious than those who did not feel the need to compete on looks. One evolutionary explanation for the findings is this: when people confront the fact that there are attractive Read more
Exclusive dating site BeautifulPeople.com is 5,000 members lighter after kicking out users who gained holiday weight. The site, which apparently operates under a middle-school mentality, only lets people into the beautiful club after a sufficient number of existing members deem them attractive enough. Members can also kick off people if they let themselves go. After some users uploaded pics from Read more
A woman's level of attractiveness can impact her psychological well-being, but only if she lives in an urban area. Using waist-to-hip ratio to determine a woman's attractiveness, a study published this month determined that a higher level of attractiveness helps women in urban areas stand out from the crowd and make better social connections. Conversely, people in rural areas do not use Read more
A former British Elle editor talks in the Daily Mail today about a passing comment her mother made to her at age 10 that colored the way she saw her body for the rest of her life. When Sally Brampton was 10 years old, her mother showed her a photo of herself in a bathing suit and said, "I think you're getting a bit chubby." From that point on, Brampton would battle with a body that, although Read more
A co-worker of mine set me up on a blind date. I'm fresh out of a relationship so she was trying to do me a favor, but truth be told, she doesn't know me that well so I was a little apprehensive about the kind of guy she'd pair me with. Once I got his name, I immediately searched for him on Facebook and lo and behold, I found him. He was an OK looking guy, but he was definitely not my type, and Read more
No matter where you turn, you can't escape photos from the Oscars. I love seeing what the stars wore and how they looked, but one person I can't keep my eyes off of is Mickey Rourke, who has clearly had some work done! As double standards go, plastic surgery is typically thought of as a female desire, but men have definitely jumped on the Botox, face-lift, even liposuction bandwagon too. I Read more
Steve Santagati, the author of The Manual, is back! To ask Steve questions of your own, simply submit them here or in the comments section below. Enjoy! Dear Steve, I'm no Ugly Betty, but I'm not a super model either, and I'm having a hard time meeting a man. It seems like the hot men I'm attracted to are only attracted to beautiful women — regardless of their personality — and I'm starting Read more
A good friend of mine recently broke up with her live-in boyfriend of three years. Though it was her decision to end things, it was still a difficult choice to make; she still really cares about him. All her friends have been there for her and she's done a great job moving on. In an effort to put the past behind her, she wanted to make a change, so she committed the cardinal breakup sin of Read more
Even if you don't like to admit it, looks matter. Both our own and those of the people we date. It deems us as shallow if we place too much emphasis on appearance, but when it comes down to it, that's what initially attracts us to one another. I'm always fascinated by people's reaction to the looks discussion and my friends over at Smitten touched upon this topic in a fun, cheeky way. They posed Read more
