Men who date women with slim waists are less likely to have performance issues in the bedroom - regardless of age - "A waspish waist has been the desire of women the world over for decades. Now, new research has unveiled the reason why men too prefer women with a slender middle. Scottish researchers have found that the slimmer a woman's waist, the more satisfied her partner and the less likely he is to suffer from erectile dysfunction. They say previous research has indicated that men generally rate slimmer women as more sexually attractive... Men who suffered the least performance issues were younger, had younger partners and their partner had a slimmer waist. They were also more sexually satisfied. Lead researcher Stuart Brody, professor of psychology at the University of West Scotland, said it was 'noteworthy' that a woman with a slim waist was regarded as more attractive in all measures of sexual function independent of both partners' age. He said there were two main possible reasons for the 'waist effect'. One was that women's abdominal body fat decreased their own desire on a hormonal level - perhaps hampering libido. Another reason was that the man simply found slimmer women more attractive. He said: 'The most compelling explanation was that slimmer women are, on average, more sexually attractive to men (resulting in more frequent sex, stronger erections, and greater satisfaction)... Men have an incentive to not have a muffin top, either. The researchers noted the larger a man's waist size, the lower his sexual satisfaction."
Why girls should be tomboys - "The wildness of the guys was different from that of the girls: the risks they took were ones of daring and skill. The girls took risks with emotion and intimacy (being sexually intimate was an emotional risk). For another, the manly virtues were powerful: courage and valour and strength. I admired them, and I coveted them. I wanted to test myself, to prove my worth. More than anything I wanted others to see these qualities within me and to respect me for them. Femininity was disenchanting, with little to offer. While I was out on the mountain trails with the guys, testing and challenging my strength, the girls would be lazing on a lake dock, reading magazines, painting nails. Girliness was boring. But there was another force at work, deeper and less comfortable to name. Being boyish was an escape from the anxiety of being a woman. It is one thing to jump off a 40-foot bridge into swirling water, quite another entirely to grapple with the pressures of being a young woman. I resented male sexual attention. It was exhausting, that constant awareness of male hunger. I wanted to be free from that background buzzing. Instead, I was privy to their locker room talk. They would often tease each other about whom they had bedded the night before and laugh about the way the girl would wake up hoping for more commitment, more connection, more promises of care. Though I see only now that the guys were also afraid of the risks involved in love. Their mockery often concealed a lurking fear and resentment of their own need for female affection, a threat to their independence and autonomy. But I had a secret terror of becoming one of these girls, of being treated casually, of feeling unvalued. There are differences in how young women and young men respond to the risks of intimacy. As a woman, I was afraid that I might become callous and disillusioned, or wounded and hurt. The promises of the sexual revolution that offered freedoms and pleasures without guilt held little appeal for me. It wasn’t guilt I wanted to avoid, it was the self-protective cynicism that disappointments often lead to. I wanted to avoid the sexual marketplace altogether. Shedding my femininity was the easiest way to do this. But it wasn’t just because of the influence of men that I became a tomboy. Women, too, in ways that are subtle, judge other women, especially pretty ones, with preconceived notions that I was keen to avoid. Young pretty women are sometimes seen as superficial, as dumb, as less serious than a type of woman who covers up her attractiveness by appearing to not care about her looks. Young women often earn social points with other women for having a type of look that loudly says, “I’m not vain, and not pandering to socially constructed expectations of beauty.” Baggy clothes become a sign of ethical enlightenment. Not wearing make-up a signal that one has inner beauty. That this style is itself carefully cultivated, an exercise of moral vanity, often seems to be lost on young woman. Cutting off my hair as a young woman was taking this aesthetic one step further. It was a decisive striking out against the femininity of my teenage years and a clear signal to those around me that I was not to be confined by gender expectations. (It was the late Nineties. I shudder to think of what I may have been tempted to cut off were I to be in my late-teens now.)... There were three aspects to the change in my appearance that seem to be absent from today’s discourse on young women and gender, all of them related. The first was that I had a deep and genuine affection for men and for masculinity. I had no interest in correcting their “toxic” attitudes and humour. I had no desire to domestic their behaviours. I adored their swagger. I loved their courage. I delighted in their jokes, their irreverence, their ridicule. The second is that virginity was a concept that had not yet been entirely corrupted by the accusation that “The Patriarchy” employed it as a weapon to keep women controlled and confined. And the last was that though I wanted to push against convention, this push was aimed at enlarging what it meant to be a woman rather than what it meant to be merely “gendered”. I am often surprised, and troubled, now by how quickly a young woman will abandon being a woman because she isn’t at home in the stereotypical idea of femaleness. That rather than redefine the female stereotype, she jettisons her female gender. What makes her dislike it so much, I wonder? The added irony is that when she becomes a “he” or “they”, as we often see today, he/they does so without any genuine affection for masculinity. That is, rather than challenge the feminine stereotypes she clearly doesn’t fit, he/they becomes a boy who isn’t, often, at all masculine. He/they appropriates the concept of maleness into herself (himself, themself), making it safe rather than wild and scary and foreign and fun. I am sympathetic to the young women I see today who seem to want to escape the burden of being a woman by becoming some form of nonbinary... it often forms a young woman into a new stereotypical type, while cementing the idea that femaleness is merely girly, an idea that feminism once worked hard to break... once we label virginity as a form of male dominance, a remnant of a more repressive sexual era, one in which men controlled women’s sexual experiences in an effort to eliminate their own anxieties around female sexuality, it makes it much harder for a young woman to remain a virgin while being an oppression-fighting ethical person... In an effort to express their sexual freedom – a moral imperative – young women may feel internal pressure to have sex in order to be unrestricted from traditional sexual mores... I won respect and admiration from others I desired by succeeding in masculine pursuits. I was able to do this because, not in spite of the fact, that I remained solidly and joyfully a female. I was granted respect from the guys I spent the summer months with not because I was seen as their equal and certainly not because I demanded that they respect my “inner-truth”, but because I was a girl doing the same things they were — and sometimes even doing them pretty well. That I was a girl doing tough-guy things made me even more admirable. I didn’t have to persuade anyone to respect me by ideologically brow-beating them."
Estate agents in China are trying everything to sell flats - "Houses were once easy to sell, the surest investment available. But as a result of a four-year slump in the market, millions of homes now sit unsold. Some already paid-for properties are not even getting built. New home starts fell by almost 30% in the first two months of this year, compared with a year earlier. As of February, average new home prices had fallen for 21 months in a row. Around a tenth of estate agents in the biggest Chinese cities have closed since 2021, according to industry estimates. The decline has been even sharper in small towns. Yanjiao, just outside Beijing, has seen hundreds shut, says one survivor. Another says his income has fallen by half in three years. So perhaps some of the wilder antics of those still trying to shift flats are understandable. In recent months 31 men in the southern city of Huizhou bought flats at the request of their girlfriends, perhaps thinking that they had found “the one”. They then discovered that their girlfriends were estate agents trying to sell those apartments and were not interested in marriage. Authorities launched an investigation, telling local media that 15 women, all at the same firm, were behind the scheme and had used a dating app to find their targets. The incident is probably “just the tip of the iceberg”, warned a newspaper run by China’s housing ministry on March 24th... Some estate agents are offering valuable inducements. Last year a firm in Zhejiang province said it would give out a 10-gram gold bar (worth around $1,000) for each house it sold. A Beijing-based company promised to throw in a holiday home in the seaside city of Yantai for anyone who paid for an apartment in the capital with cash. Other firms have offered everything from iPhones to stakes in a private-jet company. Another tactic is to slash downpayments. A developer in the southern city of Zhongshan allowed a deposit of just 9.90 yuan ($1.30) for some flats. Developers in the agricultural province of Henan permitted farmers to put down wheat or other crops as a deposit. In 2022 Central China Group, one such developer, ended up with 430 tonnes of garlic after selling 30 apartments, according to local media reports. Brokers are changing their pitch. Livestreaming is now a popular way to sell houses, with 500,000 agents on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. Some sing, dance and do comedy sketches from unsold homes. In March, “u-bro”, a robot with a camera that shows houses and answers questions, began livestreaming in the city of Wuhan."

English teacher found half-naked in layby with pupil, 17, calls radio phone-in show to say her life has been ruined by sex conviction - "A shamed teacher who was found half-naked with her teenage pupil yesterday complained she has been left ‘stigmatised’ by her sex offence. Eppie Sprung Dawson was convicted of having sex with a 17-year-old pupil after being found inside a car with her victim by patrolling police officers. The 38-year-old was placed on the sex offenders’ register for six months and given a half-year-long community payback order after she admitted sexual activity with a person under 18 while she was his teacher and in a position of trust. She was spared jail, but yesterday went on a radio phone-in show to complain about the stigma and press attention her conviction brought."

Dating app double standard: Hinge requires you to enter your height but there isn't even a field for weight : r/MensRights - "We all know height is very important to women when it comes to dating so it makes sense that there is a place to input that data in the app. But the fact that it is a required field is a bit concerning. I didn't verify this myself since I don't use the app but this is what I've heard online. If I am mistaken I hope someone will correct me in the comments. We also all know that a woman's weight is a much more important factor for men than her height. So why isn't there even a field for weight? Additionally, weight is much more indicative of someone's physical health than their height, so it is arguably a more important factor when it comes to finding a partner. To me, this is discriminatory, gynocentric and misandrist. But since women have the clear advantage when it comes to dating apps it's pretty obvious nothing will change, but it is still very disappointing nonetheless."
"It's a ridiculous double standard, not just in dating sites but in society as a whole. Football Manager 2025 was supposed to introduce women's football for the first time since the first game came out in 1992. Player attributes have always been a thing, including height and weight. And now they decided to remove weight from the game entirely, saying it's not important. They are afraid factual information will offend someone. That 150cm guy though? Fuck him, let's laugh at him. As it turned out it is the first Championship/Football manager to actually get cancelled for another year so there's that."

Amanda Seyfried shares her regrets of filming nude scenes as a teenage movie star - "Amanda Seyfried has spoken candidly about feeling pressure to ‘walk around without her underwear on’ when she first started making movies as a teen. Seyfried, now 36, was just 19 when she starred in Mean Girls. While the star admitted in a new interview she emerged from the pre-#MeToo era ‘pretty unscathed’, Seyfried did reflect on some of the uncomfortable positions she’d been put in. “Being 19, walking around without my underwear on – like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?” she said. Speaking to Porter, Seyfried added: “Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn’t want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That’s why.” Seyfried also told the magazine that in ‘some ways’, she wishes her career was starting out now, where intimacy coordinators are present on set and it’s easier for actors to ‘speak up’... You might remember that in 2004’s Mean Girls, Seyfried’s character Karen Smith could predict the weather by holding her breasts, a character trait Seyfried said in hindsight she finds ‘gross’."

Really upset with the fact that men are stronger than women : r/TrueOffMyChest - "This feels like a silly thing to get upset about, but I'm genuinely frustrated about this. For context, I'll ocassionally be scrolling when I see a post about women realizing that their boyfriends are just so much physically stronger than them. Look it up online, and you see a million stories about how easily men can overpower women, how teenage boys could take down adult women, etc. Normally I don't think about it, but every so often I'll stumble upon the topic, and it actually makes me want to cry sometimes. Like, as a woman, I want to be strong. I want to be capable of not only defending myself, but also protecting others. So when I see something about how almost all men can easily take down a woman of their size, it feels like a slap in the face. I know strength is subjective, and I'm still proud of my accomplishments in fitness- but damn does it hurt to think that all my hard work won't help me much against a man. I understand that there's plenty of ways women can still defend themselves (carrying weapons, aiming for the groin/eyes, staying out of dangerous situations). I understand that the best way to avoid situations like these is just to avoid violence in general. But that doesn't change the fact that almost any man could just pin me down easily, and then it's all over. And I just hate that idea so. much. The whole thing just gives me such a helpless feeling. I've seen people talking about this a lot, but I haven't seen many women talking about how it makes them feel. Ladies, does this thought ever bother you? How do y'all deal with this idea/ make yourself feel safer?"

2 Chinese girls discuss how their foreign boyfriends were WILDLY PURSUED by other Chinese women on Xiaohongshu : r/aznidentity - "The original post is from Xiaohongshu, I’ll include the original comments and their translations here.
Comment 1: 我之前谈了个很腼腆害羞的白人，之前真的人超好。暑假带他回国玩了两个月，给我两玩分手了。每次带他去春熙路或者九眼桥这两个地方的时候，一堆一堆整容脸香水怪往他身上扑，他刚开始还以为她们是卖的，我当时巨尴尬，不想他看不起我老家成都，只能跟他解释说对方只是太喜欢你了。 后面有一次我要回外公家，他说他就想在我房子里休息几天，不想去，我就一个人回去看外公外婆了，后面我发现那几天他其实是跟之前骚扰他的那些女生出去开房了。好脏，我当时跟他大吵一架，他刚开始还道歉来着，吵到后面他开始很无所谓的跟我说那些人比我hot还更顺从 千万别带白人男友回国，因为有的是比你年轻漂亮的人发了疯一样去勾引他
"I once dated a very shy and introverted white guy, and he was really nice at first. During the summer, I took him back to China for two months, but we ended up breaking up. Every time I took him to Chunxi Road or Jiuyan Bridge, a bunch of plastic surgery girls with strong perfume would throw themselves at him. At first, he thought they were prostitutes, and I felt so embarrassed. I didn’t want him to look down on my hometown Chengdu, so I had to explain to him that they just liked him too much. Later, there was a time I had to visit my grandparents. He said he just wanted to stay in my apartment and rest for a few days, so I went alone. Later, I found out that during those days, he actually went to hotels with those girls who had been hitting on him. It was so disgusting. I had a huge fight with him, and at first, he apologized, but as we argued more, he started to act indifferent and told me those girls were hotter and more submissive than me. Never bring your white boyfriend back to China, because there will always be younger and prettier girls desperately trying to seduce him."
