(Young) Women’s Happiness Comes Before (Old) Men’s

August 27th, 2008

 young women are happier than young men  old men are happier than old women (Young) women are the happier sex. In younger years, women are happier than their male counterparts. Later in life, old men get ahead in the happiness stakes. These findings are based on the evaluation of 30 years worth of research.

Young women are more likely than young men to be happy, because they are more likely to reach their goals at a young age. Young men, whose goals are linked to financial achievements, can’t achieve what they long for until later in life. Old men, however, become more content once they get that car, that house and whatever else is on their wishlist.

there is one thing that men and women both want: a happy relationship. Young women are, again, at an advantage, because they actually enjoy being in a relationship, while young men feel the pressure of constantly having to prove themselves. Presumably, this changes again for older men, who gain confidence, while older women live in fear of losing their husbands to a younger woman.

Sex in Marriage - in Good Times and Bad

August 25th, 2008

Sex in marriage is a topic usually discussed in conjunction with “too little”, “boring” and “routine”. “Too much” sex in marriage is something that you occasionally expect to hear from women, who don’t feel like partaking in “conjugal duties” after a long, tiring day.

In this story, believe it or not, it’s the men complaining about too much sex in marriage. The two couples featured in this article had sex every day – one couple managed to keep up the routine for 3 months, the others kept going for a whole year. The women were the ones who took the initiative and ended up writing books about their experiences with daily sex. In both cases, the couples are, ahem, satisfied with the results, but the men admit they weren’t exactly thrilled to start out with. There really is such a thing as too much sex in marriage – even for men.

Touch Sexy Women

August 25th, 2008

…well, kind of. You can’t really touch sexy women on paper but rather… feel them up? I wonder if Playboy for the blind describes the sexy women’s curves or if blind readers really do buy it just for the articles.

Wise Love Quote

If you haven’t read any of Maya Angelou’s novels, here’s an idea of what you’re missing. Wise, insightful words, always with a touch of humour.

What the World Loves

August 22nd, 2008

The whole blog-world loves twitter and be2 will be twittering from now on, too. But what to twitter? The fist tweet is almost as intimidating as the first sentence of a debut novel.

Obviously, we’ll be writing about love, just as we do on the be2 blog. But what do you write about love in 140 characters? We’ll start by getting some inspiration from the things twitter loves. This site collects all tweets containing the phrase “i love”, creating a fascinating caleidoscope of different thing loved by different people.

Kissing for Dummies - Free Practice

August 21st, 2008

Kissing is something guys usually like to practice on a pretty girl, but if you can’t find one who’s willing and able, you could try this kissing exercise first.

Alright, so you don’t actually learn kissing techniques in this Mentos kissing game, but kissing a lot and in the right places is essential, all the while dodging kisses from your “opponents” (uh, why would you want to dodge kissing pretty girls?). So you’re probably better off practicing kissing on flesh-and-blood “opponents”, but the game is well-designed and entertaining enough to keep your mind occupied until you find a pretty girl for kissing practice.

Women for Nerds or Physics for Dummies (?)

August 20th, 2008

Trying to figure out the objective of this list comparing women to physical theories. Are the comparisons explaining physics or women? Are they explaining women in a language physics-nerds can understand?

a sample:
” Cosmology is the girl that doesn’t really date, but has lots of hot friends. Some people date cosmology just to hang out with her friends.”

So? Do you understand women now? Or physical theory?

Fail.

The Hot Women of the Blogosphere

August 18th, 2008

Playboy – certified experts on all things concerning the female anatomy – has named the hot women of the blogosphere. And it looks like they did their homework, because they don’t just introduce attractive, hot women – all of them are actually good, successful bloggers. Amazingly, most of them are not sex-bloggers, which is kind of what you would expect from a Playboy selection.

Love Quote about Perfect Proportions

August 15th, 2008

This love quote provides the perfect answer to your boyfriend or girlfriend’s worries about not being perfect.
And then he/she says “tell that to my chicken legs/fat hips!” Sigh.

“There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.”

Intense Love Stories make for Great Viral Marketing

August 13th, 2008

Intense love stories are usually found in Hollywood films, in novels and, of course, here. A great viral marketing campaing is shamelessly (and successfully) targeting our weak spot for a good love story to generate interest for a new novel. And it’s working – this video is only one of many on the site, but once you start watching, the love stories become so compelling it’s almost impossible to stop.

Pretty amazing that seemingly stuffy book publishers have successfully done what record companies have been trying for years: using viral marketing effectively and engagingly.
