Axe Effect Really Makes Men More Attractive?
A scientific study claims to prove that the Axe effect really exists. In case you are not aware, the Axe effect is supposed to turn imbecile women into raging man-eaters. In the ads, these women chase an unattractive male whom they normally wouldn’t even touch with a pole, because he’s wearing Axe. Not the type of thing you see happening every day…
Of course, the study only managed to prove that women find it attractive when a man smells nice. Whether men smell nice when they douse themselves in Axe, you’ll have to decide for yourself. The results of the Axe effect study are after the jump. Read more
True Love Discovered!
Science has discovered something we all care about: true love that lasts, long after the butterflies are gone.
Couples were separated and each shown their partner’s picture, while their brain activity was measured. About one tenth of the couples still showed the brain activity of young love after 20 years in a relationship. The scientists named these couples “swans”, because they show the same behaviour as swans, who mate for life (maybe you remember this swan love story?). Amazingly, these couples don’t just say they love each other they are in love – after more than 20 years!
As heart-warming as that sounds, not every couple is so lucky. 9 in 10 couples in love feel a drop in dopamine levels about 15 months into the relationship. 10 years later, it’s not true love that’s left, but rather something like mutual trust and affection.
Single Bells – Singles in the UK at Christmas
Last week we wrote about Singles at Christmas and listed a few reasons to be happy about not being in a relationship at Christmas. Well, it’s as if the poll team read our minds, because it turns out that the be2 singles survey for the past few weeks has been about singles at Christmas. be2-singles from the UK, Germany, the USA, France, Italy and Spain took part in the Singles at Christmas survey, but obviously we’re mainly interested in the answers given by singles from the UK.

Is Men’s Fear of Commitment Genetic?
There are plenty of men who show a certain fear of commitment until they are mature enough for a serious relationship (or at least over the fear of missing out on something by not being single). Other men, however, cling on to that fear of commitment for dear life, refusing to “be tied down” by mere women.
A Swedish study indicates that the latter type of fear of commitment could be genetic. Read more
Women for Nerds or Physics for Dummies (?)
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.
