Motion-capture technology allows an objective analysis of which dance moves are most attractive
They recruited 19 men between the ages of 18 and 35 to bob to a German dance track while reflectors attached to the men’s clothing recorded their moves. The psychologists then used the motions logged by the reflectors to craft avatars – the same method the makers of Lord of the Rings employed to create the character Gollum, if you’re wondering – and then asked several dozen heterosexual women to rate the avatars. By having women watch 15-second snippets of faceless white creatures rather than actual men, the reasoning goes, the psychologists weeded out possible prejudices that might creep in because of physical attractiveness. (Because women are never prejudiced by looks in real life.)
The results, which appear in the online edition of the Royal Society’s Biology Letters, aren’t what you’d guess. The pelvis gets surprisingly short shrift. Instead, the researchers say, the difference between a bad dancer and good dancer comes down to the neck, torso, and right knee. Women tend to be drawn to men who move their upper bodies, use a lot of space, and vary their movements.Motion-capture technology allows an objective analysis of which dance moves are most... more

Scott Pilgrim’s lady friend Ramona Flowers dated every type of guy, from twin Japanese DJs to a psychotic supergenius inventor. But most girls in real life wind up dating the dudes in the illustrated examples below. Ladies, if you tell me you haven’t been in a relationship with even one of these guys, you’re so lying and I’m calling you on it right now.

The tourist trade is being held hostage by the tiny horny mammals because it's delayed the repairs of a bridge. "The village’s shops and pub are suffering a trading slump after bridge repairs had to be suspended until the autumn – when the voles have finished mating."-Metro. One pub says it;s losing £700 a week in takings and it sounds like no one can find a way to turn the situation into a very disturbing but unique form of tourism. It sounds like the voles don't know there's a recession on.The tourist trade is being held hostage by the tiny horny mammals because it's... more

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An acrobatic display of passion proved too much for a pair of eagles engaged in a mating dance over Alaska's Prince William Sound.
The female bird is recovering from an injured wing and other injuries sustained when the couple slammed beak-first into a hard snowbank in what her rescuers believe was an aerial courting ritual gone awry. The male eagle died in the impact, which left the birds buried upside down at least two feet in the snow in the town of Valdez.
It's mating season for eagles, who perform an elaborate ritual where they clasp talons and spiral toward the ground. This pair probably got caught up in the throes of the moment, said Bob Benda, a bird rescuer and biology professor at Prince William Sound Community College who was among those responding to the Easter Sunday crash.
"They just lose track of what they're doing and don't know how close they are to the ground," he said. "It's raging hormones or something."
But most eagles fling themselves back to reality instead of diving through a crunchy layer of snow. In this case, the male landed next to the female. If the talons had been locked, they were now separated, possibly thrust apart by the velocity of the landing.
Benda said he thought both eagles had died but then noticed the female was breathing. He helped arrange the eagle's transfer to the Anchorage-based Bird Treatment and Learning Center, where she is slowly emerging from shock.
"She is less dazed and confused every day," said Cindy Palmatier, the center's rehabilitation director. "She had this inward stare the first couple days."
Judging by the bird's initial condition, Benda is amazed it's still among the living. The eagle had no broken bones, but she was severely traumatized, almost in a zombie state.
The day being Easter, Benda took the bird home and figured he would keep her warm and comfortable in a crate in his heated garage until the end came. The next morning, she was still breathing and moving a wing, and by that night, she was being flown to Anchorage.
"I didn't see how she could survive, but now I'm so happy she did," Benda said.
At the rehabilitation center Friday, the eagle's head swiveled back and forth as she checked out some visitors. A few days earlier, she would have paid no attention to them, said Palmatier, who believes her patient suffered head trauma.
The bird also showed no interest in food, but now is eating salmon and caribou meat. And she's been taken off pain medications.
But her left wing visibly droops and Palmatier said if there is significant ligament damage, there's a chance the eagle might not be able to fly again. But it's too early to tell and there's at least a month at the center still to come.
Ultimately, Palmatier hopes the eagle can be released back to the wild in Valdez. She's not too worried about any psychological effects from the loss of the bird's partner.
"I like to say they may mate for life, but they mourn for a moment," Palmatier said. "They get over it pretty quick."ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An acrobatic display of passion proved too much for a pair... more

The “friend zone” is a misnomer. Plenty of women fuck their friends. Hence the terms fuck-buddy or friends-with-benefits. Furthermore, consider how many people in long term relationships describe their partners as their best friends. Being actual friends with a women is awesome. Being a tool who a woman describes as “just a good friend” is something completely different. This is why I’m renaming the “friend zone” the “unfuckable zone.”
When women say, “I just want to be friends,” what they mean is that they want to continue exploiting your...The “friend zone” is a misnomer. Plenty of women fuck their friends. Hence... more

Call me old-fashioned, but this kind of stuff holds a lot of sway with me, especially the point about introducing the girl to your friends. There's nothing worse than being on a date with a guy who bumps into someone he knows and doesn't introduce you. It makes you feel really uncomfortable. Mind you it's probably because he can't remember their name!
Good tip in that situation: brief the person you're with as the no name friend approaches and get them to introduce themselves first so the no name friend is forced to introduce themselves.Call me old-fashioned, but this kind of stuff holds a lot of sway with me, especially... more
