During my "dating career" as a man living in North America I couldn't help noticing that women often have unrealistic expectations. They see themselves being passed around by those high quality men they feel entitled for, failing to realize those few men are in high demand. Time passes, options shrink, their standards don't change and they wonder why they are still single. The stats can prove there're not enough high quality men for every girl out there. The Female Delusion Calculator is a tool that can help women discern what is realistic from what is highly unlikely.

Swiping, benching, ghosting… Dating apps can be so cold. Now that disgruntled singles are realising the best way to meet someone is in real life, will a new world of ‘offline dating’ bring people back togethercan’t remember how we started talking, only that we were sitting on the rooftop of a friend’s house with the fake leather of the sofa underneath us tacky on the back of my thighs. He wasn’t my usual type. In his vintage football shirt and mullet he looked a bit like an art school student, but he was funny enough to make up for it....

...The unnamed woman could be seen near the top of El Castillo – or Pyramid of Kukulcán – in the Mexican state of Yucatán dancing while an enraged group of people shouted abuse at her from down below.

Exhausted and overwhelmed, Gretchen Miller felt the frustration of the past three years rise up within her. On a whim the 54-year-old from Sydney posted a message to her local community Facebook group. “Does anyone else feel like screaming?” she asked. The responses poured in. “I want to scream because of climate change and economic inequality,” one woman wrote. “Because of real estate agents and landlords,” said another. “My fiancé decided he didn’t love me anymore,” read one reply. Miller said she received more than 100 messages in the first hour. From that callout, the Shout Sisters group was formed....

If you're looking for love but are plagued by a promiscuous past, fear not. Having multiple sexual partners does not affect your marriage chances in the long-term, a study suggests. Instead, the effects of promiscuity on marriage rates is 'seasonal' and the number of sexual partners accrued over a lifetime does not appear to have an impact, scientists say.

I only learned this recently, but I was aware that women will start fights to get their man to leave so that she can monkeybranch with other men to try relationships and see if she can find somebody she prefers. I just wasn't aware that they will start a fight and break up and then call him up in the morning and tell him that he wants to reconcile because broke up with him so she could have sex with another guy that night. In truth, she wanted to have sex with another guy and still keep her man and...

first started using dating apps in 2016, when I found myself newly separated. Having been in a relationship with my now ex-husband for almost 10 years, I found dating had completely transformed in the decade I'd been out of the game. It was now all about "the apps": Tinder and Bumble were now the place to go to get a date. I know I'm not the only millennial who has emerged into this new landscape after a long-term relationship and could have really done with a map to navigate it—or at least a friendly guide. Instead, I embarked on three...

Ask any single woman about the ease of dating in today’s world and they will most certainly roll their eyes and groan. As a single woman myself, I can vouch for how tough the dating climate is for every one of us. But unvaccinated, single women now have it that much harder. The reason? The decision as to whether or not they will date vaccinated men is now on the table. And I can tell you first-hand, which has nothing to do with the viability of the candidates, themselves, as rich and interesting prospects, but rather “sex” to put it...

Dating apps like Tinder are negatively affecting college students by causing trust issues, body dysmorphia and self-doubt.Since arriving at Syracuse University, I haven’t met a soul that hasn’t had some sort of experience with dating apps. Some may be looking for casual hookups, some may just be using it for fun, while others may be using these apps to find a relationship.

It’s a widely held belief that monogamy comes more naturally to women than it does to men. A lot of people subscribe to a narrative that says the sexes are just “wired” differently, with women having evolved to be monogamous and men to be promiscuous. There’s just one problem with this line of thinking—it’s not true, according to author Wednesday Martin’s latest book. In UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free , Martin offers a provocative read based on the latest research studies and interviews...

Sara was fed up. The New York City social worker, who declined to give her last name, had had countless dates cancel on her at the last minute. So, when a man she met on an app recently pulled out of their date an hour beforehand, she agreed to reschedule with one caveat: He would Venmo her a $50 deposit. “I’m just done with my time and energy being wasted,” Sara told The Post. “In almost every other scenario, when someone books a time of their day dedicated to you, they have a no-show policy or security deposit.” The man...

Science is finding that women struggle more than men when it comes to staying faithful in relationships. “Even when your marriage is good, you still miss that rush of feeling so excited you can’t eat or sleep when you’re having such an intense time emotionally and sexually with a new person. That’s what I kept going after, and what I couldn’t say no to.” That’s how Annika*, 45, from Melbourne, describes her experiences with cheating, and she’s far from alone. According to a growing body of research, many women in long-term relationships are sexually adventurous and have secret lovers. The...

I know regretting most of my sexual encounters is not something a sex-positive feminist who used to write a column for Playboy is supposed to admit. And for years, I didn’t. Let me be clear, being a “slut” and sleeping with a lot of men is not the only behavior I regret. Even more damaging was what I told myself in order to justify the fact that I was disposable to these men: I told myself I didn’t care. I didn’t care when a man ghosted me. I didn’t care when he left in the middle of the night or...

Iraqi actress Enas Taleb is taking legal action against The Economist magazine after it used her image as a cover photo for a story about obesity among women in the Middle East.

At the end of the article, the magazine quoted some women as saying that one of the widespread social...
