The ideal image of a desirable woman since über-blonde Marilyn has remained unchanged – blonde and voluptuous.

Because desirable women often serve as arm candy for wealthy men, these get to pick the prettiest ladies, which is why our image of a millionaire’s wife has always been blonde and voluptuous.

Now it looks like it’s time for blondes to move over, because a desirable woman nowadays is a brunette woman. An analysis of the hair colour of the prettiest ladies on the arms of rich men revealed that most of them dark hair, leading to the equation „desirable woman = brunette woman.“

Blondes looking to „Marry a Millionaire“, should no longer look to Marilyn for inspiration, and go for a darker shade instead

In keeping with the animal love theme, here’s a love quote about love from animal to man. They don’t call them man’s best friend for nothing!

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”

- Josh Billings

…well, think again! While clearing out the magazine archive, we came across an article about the love life of various animals. It’s a pretty gripping read! Fun facts about animal relationships:

- Did you know that Albatrosses live monogamously for years and keep flying back to the same relationship, even after years?
- Gorillas aren’t adventurous lovers, either. Female Gorillas only mate with one man in their entire life.
- Bowerbirds, on the other hand, have pretty high standards. The females inspect their man’s nest before even considering a relationship. If it isn’t pretty enough, they move right on.
- There is an amazingly long list of species who get by without males altogether. There are quite a few insects and reptiles that procreate without any help from men. (more…)

Did you ever spend hours in front of your stereo trying to create the perfect mixtape for a pretty girl? Remeber how much work that was? But remember how you could win that pretty girl’s heart with a good mixtape and then it was totally worth it after all?

Well, now you can start conquering women’s hearts with mixtapes again, although this time around it’s a lot less work and, of course, digital. An Online-Mixtape is easy to compile and send to a pretty girl.

The advantage (aside from the fact that it can be done without pressing REC, FF, REW and PLAY countless times): You can send it to someone you’ve met online and impress the hell out of her with your superior taste in music.

Love and Friendship can be shown in many ways. Novelist Maeve Binchy reminds us that one way of showing love and friendship is by doing things for people, rather than spending money on them.

“I have been blessed with friends who do things rather than buy things (…) Never mind the money, the gifts of time and skill call into being the richest marketplace in the world.”

— Maeve Binchy in O Magazine

When you hear perfect couple, you usually think of double-whammy beauty, like Hollywood dream couple Jolie-Pitt or the lovely Rossdale-Stefanis. Now an American study has found that pretty women and less attractive men make the happiest couples.

According to the study, attractive men are unhappy in relationships with less pretty women and spend their days looking out for prettier women (when they aren’t busy admiring their own reflection, presumably). (more…)

Here’s another love quote that applies not only to romantic love, but also to the love one feels for family and friends.

“Love is the selfless promotion of the growth of the other.”

- Milton Mayeroff

Breaking news! Women like flirting with attractive men!

Another study that throws all conventional wisdom overboard, forcing us to view flirting behaviour in a whole new light. We never would have guessed that women like to flirt with attractive men! Well, thank goodness for science that deals with such important flirting issues at length.

Else we would have asked our Grannies, they would have told us the same thing.

No time for love? Then it’s time for a love holiday!

If your boss laughs at you when you demand seven days off for a love holiday to get your love life back on track, point him in the direction of the finnish law draught proposing just that – a legally required love holiday for all couples.

Couples are to use the love holiday to connect ”both at an erotic and emotional level” and ”find their way back to the path of love in order to find the wellspring of love again.” No mention if the law will set the couples an itinerary for the love holiday. We certainly wouldn’t mind taking a love holiday - all in the best interest of Queen and country, of course.
