The age old idea that ‘men don’t have feelings, they have muscles’ can finally be done away with.

A new study has revealed that while men reported feeling less emotional than women when presented with heart-warming content, the science proved that they actually felt MORE emotion than their female counter parts.

Mindlab founder Dr. David Lewis said that our media consumption has led to these gender stereotypes:

“Gender stereotypes about men being stoic and women being emotional are reinforced by our day-to-day consumption of media and our social interactions.

“We tend to oversimplify and exaggerate the perceived differences between men and women and are more likely to focus on evidence that supports our existing gender stereotypes.

“This study suggests that men feel emotion just as much as women, sometimes more strongly, but are less willing to express these emotions openly due to expectations put on them by society.”

A survey of 2,000 men was conducted to support the study, and it found that 67% thought they were more emotional than they appeared. 40% of 18-24 year-olds said they had cried in the last week, and 64% of men surveyed said they were surprised at how much emotion they felt when their child was born.

At last, some science to prove what we had always suspected!

Most single girls can be broken down into two main categories: those who secretly (or not so secretly) want a relationship and those who love being single more than Kim Kardashian loves her own arse. But whether you think you want a relationship or you think love is vile, you are likely to think about it in some shape or form.

Here are the thoughts every single girl will have about relationships:

1. “Thank God that’s not me”

tumblr_mn685xGtpU1s9knz8o3_250This is usually said about those couples who, for some unknown reason, are still together despite holding on to a large amount of hatred for their respective other halves. This is nearly always brought out in force on a night out, resulting in everyone else just feeling a bit awkward and wishing they weren’t there. Totes awks.

2. “I wish that was me.”

tumblr_n5sfwe0XoL1r6qtnno1_500Usually uttered (hopefully not aloud) in the company of those horrifically perfect couples that everyone secretly hates. They look perfect together, so perfect that you know that the one child they’ll have three years into their marriage will be a beautiful culmination of two beautiful gene-pools. They get on perfectly together, they are perfect. Now we can all feel perfectly nauseous together.

3. “Men are pricks”

tumblr_n5f4tg31lZ1sfhy94o1_500There comes a point in all womens lives when we detest men with every fibre of our being. This is especially true of single women. The wanker brigade is usually out in force on a drunken night out and the slurs fly faster than Sonia O’ Sullivan around the tracks down in Mosney. Insulting us is uncalled for. You’re not that hot anyway. Fool.

4. “I’m going to die alone”

tumblr_n0r27wOQ801s6ic8bo1_500Women are not being dramatic when we think we’re going to die alone. For all intents and purposes, this really amps up when we hit old age, usually around 23. You just have to log on to Facebook and boom, oh there’s another damned person in a relationship.

5. “Where do people FIND these men?”

tumblr_inline_mt2lg60lg71ry3wlgHave you ever just gone for a stroll around town and noticed how many couples there are? Of course you have.

6. “All the good ones are taken”


ryab

Well that is just nonsense and you know it. There are very many beautiful men out there with manners and they’re just waiting for you girl, you just need to get out there and mingle like the single Pringle that you are.

7. “Please don’t ask me if I’m still single”

tumblr_m3u62jMohg1qebseoo1_500Any single girl out there will know the pain of family events where, religiously, one-by-one, your aunts will line up and enquire about your love life.

8. “Is there something wrong with me?”

tumblr_mce0ymJJ9G1rn4jhdo1_500

There will come a stage, a stage during which you’ve probably got zero action, when you’ll begin to think “is there something wrong with me?” There is nothing wrong with you. It is the men that are to blame of course.

9. “I’d definitely be bored”

tumblr_mmgzprdzLI1spvpzwo1_500

Once you’ve been single for a while, you almost forget what it’s like to be with the same person for a long stretch of time. You’ve been in your single stride for quite some time now, on the pull on nights out, being free and always on the prowl. You look at couples who’ve been together for ages and wonder how they’re not bored of one another. Just reassure yourself that they most definitely are. In fact, they probably detest one another.

A study from the online dating site, Victoria Milan, has revealed that the majority of women who cheat, do so because of certain irritating qualities from their partner.

Victoria Milan is a dating site specifically designed for those who are interested in cheating on their partners.

The site decided to conduct a survey on why some women are so keen to cheat on their partners by questioning their 6,000 female users on the topic.

The results were interesting.

The study revealed that 73% of women who were surveyed, decided to cheat due to their partner’s irritating qualities. But the exact irritating reasons for each woman’s partner, varied.

19% felt that their partner’s poor sense of humour was a good enough reason to cheat. While 16% of women decided to stray due to a lack of understanding from their current partner.

The dating site also revealed other reasons for why some women are so keen to cheat on their partner, from not being good in bed, to being lazy, lack of manners and their partner’s poor attention to detail.

But Victoria Milan revealed that what drove women onto the site in the first place was mostly their desire to find a lover who has polar opposite qualities to their current partner. Ouch!

The easiest way to make sure your crush finds you irresistible is to grab a face wipe! It seems men find women more attractive when they have less make-up on.

In a new study, both men and women were shown images of ladies wearing varying amounts of make-up and asked which they found more attractive.

Both sexes overwhelmingly preferred women with 30 to 40 percent less make-up than they were wearing originally!

However, the research also showed that women think men prefer them to wear a lot of make-up and  slap too much of it on before a big date.

“It seems we are all quite bad at understanding what others find attractive, and this can lead to self-esteem issues,” psychologist and leader of the study Dr Alex Jones said.

The make-up study had a similar effect to the belief that men find skinny figures attractive while women like muscular bodies – which research has also proven to be untrue, he said.

So beauty really is in the eye of the beholder then…who knew!

According to a recent survey, women are apparently more confident when it comes to dating than men.

The dating website, Elite Singles, has revealed that the 71% of women they had surveyed felt a lot more confident at dating, compared to their male counterparts.

It doesn’t stop there however, the survey went on to state that 82% of women felt they were able to make a great first impression when it comes to dating in general.

Women aren’t the only ones oozing with confidence, as 70% of men surveyed revealed they felt they were well received by most of the women they went on the date with.

But women seem to be the ones in control, when it comes to deciding if there will be a second date or not.

As 71% of women revealed that they felt it was up to them if they wanted a second date, while this decision only seemed to apply to 46% of men.

Do you agree with the results? Are women really the ones in control when it comes to the dating scene?

1. Noah from The Notebook

tumblr_lne04f5xwv1qkmpj8o1_500

With his combination of charm, sincerity and adventurous spirit, Noah has all of the ingredients to be the perfect boyfriend. He knows what he wants, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get it, even if that means dangling off a ferris wheel. Let’s face it: Ryan Gosling in any role is our dream boyfriend.

Memorable quote: “I want all of you, forever. You and me, every day.”

2. Nick from New Girl 

From the moment that Jess moved in with the guys, we were already rooting for her and Nick to get together. Although he can be a little grumpy and pessimistic at times, he’s a loyal friend, a great listener and the perfect partner in crime. Who didn’t swoon during that amazing first-kiss scene?

Memorable quote: “I think you’re the kind of girl a guy would come back for.”

3. Jack from Titanic

Jack Dawson is the ultimate romantic. Come on, the guy froze to death to save the life of the girl he loved, even when it was quite clear he could have fit on that piece of wood. We love his boyish charm, spontaneity and smile that could melt any girl’s heart. Plus, he really knows how to wear a tux.

Memorable quote: “You jump, I jump, remember?”

4. Dr McDreamy from Greys Anatomy

tumblr_mry451i8kD1qg2xooo1_500

Oh swoon swoonage. Mc Dreamy, the ultimate gentleman, he’s kind and gentle and… he’s a brain surgeon. Meridith is annoying as fuck and we don’t know how she got him but wow… a head trauma would almost be worth it for this guy.

Memorable quote: ”You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you.”

5. Pacey Witter from Dawson’s Creek

tumblr_m22n4eEy7l1qb1nouo1_500

Pacey Witter was the heart throb of many a girl born in the late 80′s/early 90′s who watched Dawson’s Creek religiously. The way he looked and treated Joey Potter was unparalleled, he was the bench mark that many a boy was measured against and few measured up. So sweet, so unrealistic.

Memorable quote: ”You and I were one of the few things, perhaps the only thing, that ever made perfect sense to me.”

6. Tom from (500) Days of Summer 

Tom is a hopeless romantic and one of the few guys left who still believes in fate and true love. You would never have to worry about “defining the relationship” with him – if Tom is with you, you can rest easy knowing he’s in it for the long haul. Plus, we love that he has good taste in music and a penchant for running through IKEA stores.

Memorable quote: “I love how she makes me feel. Like anything’s possible… or like life is worth it.”

7. Graham from The Holiday

tumblr_lglq57qNWN1qav29fo1_500

The heartbreaking story of poor widowed Graham who falls hopelessly in love with Cameron Diaz in ‘The Holiday’. The scene when he’s doing Mr Napkin head for his daughters is really what gets us in this one. Dilf.

Memorable quote: ”I finally know what I want and that, in itself, is a miracle. And what I want is YOU.”

8. Chuck from Gossip Girl 

With money, class and a smoldering gaze, Chuck Bass is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome. Although he can be kind of a prick when his cockiness gets the best of him, we can’t help but be drawn to his bad-boy charm. If more college guys dressed as well as Chuck does, the world would be a more beautiful place.

Memorable quote: “I’m sorry I gave up on us when you never did.”

9. Josh from Clueless

The whole ex-stepbrother thing aside, Josh is the boyfriend we all wish we had. We fell in love with him when he went out and danced with Tai like no one was watching, and we fell even harder when he finally told Cher how he felt. He’s smart, adorable and charmingly witty, and he’s not afraid to call you out when you’re being a little ridiculous.

Memorable quote: “You know you’re gorgeous, alright.”

10. Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing

tumblr_lbae59CfkJ1qawgyho1_500

Pretty much the coolest guy we’ve ever seen, Johnny from Dirty Dancing was the shit. We all dreamed of meeting an older, sexy ride that taught us everything we needed to know about life and sex in one Summer. Dem hip moments though…

Memorable quote: “Nobody puts baby in the corner”

11. Jacob Palmer from Crazy Stupid Love

giphy

Okay, so Ryan Gosling is in twice, but come on – they are two very different characters and Dammit, it’s Ryan Gosling. He should probably be in it another 4 times. Jacob is confident, intelligent and ripped as fuck. He starts out in this movie as being a cocky shit who thinks he can have anyone he wants, that’s until he meets Hannah Banana who turns out to be a ‘game changer’.

Memorable quote: ”The war between the sexes is over. We won the second women started doing pole dancing for exercise.”

This video by Buzzfeed features a group of men trying to explain the way in which a vagina works.

Some of the answers are pretty hilarious, as is the comparison to Predator.

But overall, we don’t think they did such a bad job! Well done men.

Perhaps there is hope for us after all…

Hmm, it looks as if Shakira’s husband, Gerard Piqué, is a little insecure about her raunchy music videos!

Talking to Billboard, Shakira explained that she is no longer able to create music videos with men.

Known for her risqué videos and dancing it seems as if that may all be a thing of the past for the singer, unless of course another woman is involved.

Here is what she said about her husband’s stance on music videos:

“He’s very territorial, and since he no longer lets me do them with men, well, I have to do them with women … it’s more than implied in our relationship that I can’t do videos like I used to. It’s out of the question – which I like by the way, I like that he protects his turf and values me, in a way that the only person that the would ever let graze my thigh would be Rihanna.”

If Gerard is upset by his wife dancing with male dancers in a music video then he is lucky she isn’t an actress who may have to star in a steamy sex scene!

You want new shoes? You buy them. You want to go on holidays? You book a flight. You want a man? You chase him right?

Not quite!

If you want a man, the last thing you do is go after him. If anything, this does more damage than good. Instead of running after them, let them come to you.

Biologically, men are hard-wired to go after what they want and they will stop at nothing until they get it. If you want him to come after you, think of yourself as the woman that they want not the one they run away from.

If you want him to chase you, remember that you’re the prize.  View yourself in a different way. This will help you develop an aura of confidence that will make you a human magnet to your crush.

Lastly, try not to overdo it. If you let him do too much chasing then you might come across as snotty. It’s important to find the right balance.

Although every relationship is unique, some of the issues a couple encounters are pretty universal and a lot of the times, it’s because us women tend to get ahead of ourselves – sorry but it’s true!

Here are the 5 common mistakes women make with men:

We pursue

Don’t ever chase a man. If he wants you, he’ll chase you. If he doesn’t chase you, it means he doesn’t want you.

We’re too fast

Give him a little bit at a time.The slower things go at the beginning, the less likely he will distance himself later.

We live in a fairytale

If you’re waiting for a knight in shining armour to sweep you off your feet then you need to wake up – that only happens in movies.

We try to change them

The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Either take him as he is or just forget him and move on.

We make excuses for them

Never believe someone who tells you they’re too busy. If he wants you, he’ll make it happen. If not, he’ll make excuses.

Women are generally known to over think and over analyse everything, but now it looks like things have escalated to another level. It seems like our brains just never stop working – even when in bed.

A new study showed that women bring the hustle and bustle of daily activities with them to the bedroom and we’re left tossing and turning for most of the night.

The study showed that the average person gets up to 8 hours and 41 minutes in bed, but almost two hours of that is spent fretting.

Although women generally spend more time in bed than men do, that fact that we’re prone to all kinds of worries means that we spend most of the time counting sheep rather than getting some beauty sleep.

It’s bad enough that we don’t get enough sleep as it is, but the worse part about the findings  is that women are willing to lose sleep over their significant other as well – maybe we ought to be a bit more selfish, don’t you think?

Although women enjoy a good sob after watching a rom-com, it looks like we’re not the only ones who dream of romance.

Results from a new survey showed that in a time when everyone is online, we still all long for a little traditional old fashioned romance.  Over 60% of singles revealed that they would rather declare their feelings for a new partner face-to-face rather than via social media or text.

Surprisingly, the study found that men are more than twice as likely to show their love with a romantic gesture, while women would rather let their man know how the feel via text.

The majority of men aged 35 and over think that a romantic gesture is the best way to show their emotions, but just 6% of 18 to 34-year-olds would consider a romantic gesture as a way to win a potential partner over! However, there’s still hope for our generation as 54% did admit they would prefer to let their feelings out face-to-face rather than opting for a text.

So when it comes to love, men are definitely the ones who are more expressive than women. Well at least we know who wears the pants!
