Are you so in love that you can't be alone even when you need to use the bathroom? If so the TwoDaLoo is the toilet for you and your significant other.
The TwoDaLoo is billed as the world's first toilet two people can use ... at the exact same time. It brings couples closer together and conserves our water supply all with one flush. The TwoDaLoo features two side-by-side toilet seats with a modest privacy wall in between. An upgraded version includes a seven inch LCD television and iPod docking station.
The whole idea is very disturbing. The fact that the TwoDaLoo also has a LCD tv and an iPod docking station only helps a little. Good luck saving the planet with this - how many couples need to use the bathroom at the exact same time? (via Sex on my Desk)
People using the New York subway might see a guy or girl they like. A website called Subway Crush allows people to post about these crushes.
For the last few weeks I've been working on this tiny project that allows people to find their missed connections. This has been done before, but in my version it is hyper concentrated to finding love in the New York subway. Everyone has had a missed connection while riding the trains (you don't have to just be this guy) so we thought we would help.
The site's about page says it was created by Mike Bodge of Lolz LLC and Matthew Haggerty. (via Monochronicle)
Getting married online isn't a new but proposing on the microblogging service called Twitter is a novelty. This Wired article documents two such incidents. The most recent was Max Kiesler's proposal to Emily Chang.
Max Kiesler's sweet tweet at 3:13 a.m. Thursday: "To @emilychang - After fifteen years of blissful happiness I would like to ask for your hand in marriage?"
Emily Chang's reply, a minute later: "@maxkiesler - yes, i do."
The earliest known documented marriage proposal on Twitter happened on March 2nd, 2008. You can see the proposal tweet here.
The proposal: "@stefsull - ok. for the rest of the twitter-universe (and this is a first, folks) - WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
Sullivan's reply: "@garazi - OMG - Ummmmm... I guess in front of the whole twitter-verse I'll say -- I'd be happy to spend the rest of my geek life with you."
Just two proposal tweets are known so far but with Twitter's popularity growing there are bound to more.
Some Lazy Online Daters Copy Other People's Profiles
Online personals are extremely popular. They have become one of the most obvious and well-known ways to find a date. But what do you say when you are writing your profile? Most people would say that's easy just explain who you are and what you like but don't be arrogant or condescending about it. That's too difficult for some online dating hacks who instead copy-and-paste material from other people's personals. The Wall Street Journalinvestigated the issue and found it happens fairly often.
A search on MySpace.com brought up more than 700 recent comments that accuse others of stealing headlines, user names, songs, background designs and entire profiles. In a recent survey of more than 400 online daters commissioned by Engage.com, 9% of respondents said they copied from another person's profile; 15% suspect their own words were stolen.
A Match.com profile of a man in Redmond, Wash., includes this postscript: "Shame on the woman who plagiarized my narrative and stole it for her profile!" And a 34-year-old woman in Basking Ridge, N.J., tacked this P.S. to her Plentyoffish.com profile: "To the girl who copied my profile -- and denies it...you s-!"
The quest for originality has spawned the services of online-dating coaches and profile writers. Some of them are victims, too. Dave Mizrachi, 34, of Miami sells an "Insider Internet Dating" course for $97. Mr. Mizrachi includes his own dating profile, advising men to use it as a guide. But at least 25 people on Match.com have stolen his lines, including: "I get a lot of women emailing me, (which is great for an ego boost)." One man uses Mr. Mizrachi's photo.
A recent search on Match.com brought up more than 90 profiles with such lines as: "I want an opposite. A yin to my yang," or "You know that woman who is the first person on the dance floor at every party? That's me." They weren't even from real people. They were cribbed from sample profiles posted online at E-Cyrano.com by dating coach and profile writer Evan Marc Katz. "It just seems so short-sighted," says Mr. Katz, of Los Angeles. "Everybody steals the same lines so they are not original anymore."
The WSJ article includes several personal stories about shameless people using other people's profile information to score dates.
Thierry Khalfa says he had a good excuse to copy: His English isn't so good. The 44-year-old Frenchman first cobbled a ho-hum profile that said he liked to cook and enjoyed walks on the beach. Then he stumbled across the profile of Mike Matteo, 47, a screenwriter in Tampa, Fla. Mr. Matteo's profile had such nuggets as, "I have a sweet tooth, love my strawberry twizzlers and cheesecake jelly beans."
Without thinking twice, Mr. Khalfa says, he copied Mr. Matteo's prose because it also fit him to a tee. "That guy should be proud," says Mr. Khalfa, of Largo, Fla., who runs an auto-glass business. "In France, in the fashion business, when you see something that looks good, you take it and you copy it."
Mr. Khalfa caught the eye of preschool teacher Marjorie Coon, 48. They exchanged emails, and Ms. Coon wanted to meet Mr. Khalfa in person. Then she discovered he had copied the profile of Mr. Matteo, by coincidence her friend. She let Mr. Khalfa know she knew and dumped him. "I felt he was less than honest, a manipulator and downright stupid," says Ms. Coon, of Largo, Fla. Mr. Matteo wasn't too happy, either. "I'm not Cyrano de Bergerac," he says, referring to the 19th-century play about a man penning love letters for a rival.
The WSJ article also says some people even pay for profiles from sources like the TheProfileCoach.com. At least that is better than stealing. More discussion about these assinine profile plagiarists can be found at Jossip, Digital Hive, be2, Captivating Connections and PSFK.
Newsweek has an interesting article where several experts try to analyze the minds of men like Eliot Spitzer who inexplicably throw everything away to have a risky affair. Eliot Spitzer is a very successful man. He has a beautiful wife and family and a wonderful career. So why then did he risk everything to spend a short amount of time with a prostitute? The article explains that it has a lot to do with chemistry, evolution and testosterone. It says these kinds of traits are sometimes associated with alpha males.
Sensation seekers don't just lust after things--they take them, often disregarding the risks that block their way. "When you're dealing with these high-level, in-your-face, go-for-everything guys, you're dealing with people who take a lot of risks. If that results in gains for them, they get on a roll, and pretty soon their risk management starts to fade a little," says Gladue, who is based at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. "At some point, they can't manage every aspect of their lives. They have to blow off some steam, so they say to themselves, 'this is something I'm going to do for thrills or chills or fun. It's kind of dangerous, and I'm not going to worry about it.' For politicians, that's often in their private life, where they don't have people managing them all the time. And that's where things get out of hand."
For these types, the risk itself is part of the reward. "Breaking rules is a thrill for them," says Frank Farley, a psychologist at Temple University. "Look at Spitzer: he's Mr. Rectitude, the terror of Wall Street, and he busts prostitution rings, and yet he allegedly goes into that very lions' den-the prostitution ring-and partakes. If that isn't risk-taking I don't know what other label to put on it."
He's Hormonal. Alpha males are high on testosterone, the hormone that underlies almost all the typical traits of the politico-sexual animal: high levels of testosterone make for a high sex drive, a love of risks, aggressiveness and competitiveness. "These people have a strong need to win at games, which is obviously important in power politics," says Zuckerman. Success sends their testosterone spiraling up, while a loss brings the levels down-a phenomenon that's been documented in the lab as well as in athletes and chess champions.
The article also says that power can corrupt. Powerful people have access to things that regular people may not even consider.
And then power has its own corrosive effects. A person who seeks out power may already be compromised. But once he's got that power, he may be tempted beyond anything he's experienced before. "We sometimes say, 'God, what do these people think, the rules don't apply to them?' Well, that's often true. They really do live in a different world from most of us," says Gastil. "Spitzer apparently had access to a service where you pay top dollar for exclusivity and discretion-one that most people don't have access to. Probably your average philanderer doesn't know such a company even exists." Remember the explanation Bill Clinton gave for his cheating: "I did something for the worst possible reason-just because I could."
Some people like to say that people who engage in high-risk behaviors secretly want to be caught but that's highly unlikely with most powerful men who take risks. They don't think they will get caught - they think they will get away with it.
Italian Scientists Claim They Found G Spot Using Ultrasound
The BBC reports that Italian scientists believe they can locate a woman's G spot using ultrasound. Dr Emmanuele Jannini, the leader of the research group, said, "For the first time, it is possible to determine by a simple, rapid and inexpensive method if a woman has got a G spot or not."
The latest research, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, was carried out the Dr Emmanuele Jannini at the University of L'Aquila, and involved just 20 women.
Ultrasound was used to measure the size and shape of the tissue beyond the "front" wall of the vagina, often suggested as the location of the G spot.
In the nine women who reported being able to achieve vaginal orgasm, the tissues between the vagina and the urethra - which carries urine out of the body - were on average thicker than in the 11 women who could not reach orgasm this way.
Other scientists disagree with Jannini's finding. They suggest that what he found isn't the G spot.
However, Dr Tim Spector, from St Thomas' Hospital in London, told New Scientist that the thicker tissue might actually be part of the clitoris - another extremely sensitive area.
Another suggestion was that, rather than being the cause of more orgasms, having these frequently might actually lead to better-developed musculature in this area.
Yet another scientist disagreed with the idea of trying to search for the so-called G spot in the first place. Dr Petra Boynton, a sexual psychologist at University College London, told the BBC, "If a woman spends all her time worrying about whether she is normal, or has a G spot or not, she will focus on just one area, and ignore everything else. It's telling people that there is a single, best way to have sex, which isn't the right thing to do."
We are well past Valentine's Day now but these t-shirts from Think Geek may be of interest to people head-over-heels in love with each other. The closer the two people wearing the shirts get to one another the more the hearts on these shirts light up.
Staying healthy is the key to keeping yourself alive. Video game characters know this all too well. When your red heart gauge reaches zero... you die. For non-bitmap humans like you this is more of a challenge. But luckily after extensive study at ThinkGeek labs we've determined that people feel best when they are in close proximity to something that they adore. Don't understand? Well luckily for you we've created this amazing 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt to illustrate.
Buy one of these glowing shirts for yourself, and gift one to your significant other (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, fembot 2000...). During your normal activities two and a half pixelated hearts will light up on your shirt. Hey... you're depressed and in need of a recharge. But get within hugging distance of your significant other wearing the matching shirt and suddenly the hearts on both of your shirts start to light up until you're fully powered up. Go too far astray from the source of your affections and you'll drop back down to two and a half hearts again. Got it?
The WSJ's Sam Schechner reports (in the video below) on a study looking at the brains of people who have just fallen in compared to people who claim to have stayed madly in love for over a decade. The romantic love area of those who have just fallen in love occurs in a very primitive part of the brain - the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The activation levels of people who say they have been in love for ten years or more was the same as people who had only just fallen love so apparently some people do retain that "new love" experience. CNN has an article on love and the brain.
Valentine's Day Searches Rise as Holiday Approaches
Sometimes what people are searching for can be very revealing. A post on Yahoo Buzz looks at some of the most common searches related to the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday.
Is romance possible with primary anxiety? This reading of distracted amor comes partly from a 402% spike in the query, "when is valentine's day." (Answer: February 14.) True, Valentine's Day is more than two weeks away, but traditionally the annual Buzz homage to martyrdom and love begins at this time.
Lookups, especially among ladies of all ages, have begun to register according to schedule, but the online allure for "valentine" is down 27% from this same time period in 2006 and 2007. The quest for "romance" has also taken a hit (-29% compared to last January). Good thing "love" remains relatively stable.
They also have a list of what is up and what is down this year. More people this year are searching for love compatibility, gifts for men and love songs. Not as many people are looking for information on how to kiss. Maybe this year people already know how to smooch.
A speed dating event called Natural Selection Speed Date II: Sugar Mamas & Boy Toys attempted to match attractive young men with rich older women. Some twenty guys were selected at the event according to this news story.
"I find younger guys will usually be totally into you while older guys will be looking over your shoulder at a younger woman," said Gail Garrison, 44, a fashion designer and former model.
"Younger men expect an older woman to be more accomplished. They are looking for you because you are intelligent. They are not looking for a mother," she said.
Mr Abelson, 27, calls it "Natural Selection Speed Date II: Sugar Mamas & Boy Toys". He came up with the idea after drawing criticism from feminists for organising an event last year that paired wealthy older men with young women.
More than 5000 men applied for a place in this year's event. Twenty finalists were selected.
"I think for men it is an incredible fantasy (to be with an older woman)," Mr Abelson said. "Older women are more experienced and they know what they want."
The rich older women pared the 5,000 men down to just twenty. These women only want the best - it's not easy finding a rich woman even if you are a boy toy. The event was organized by Pocket Change NY. You can see a bit more about how things went in this Reuters video below.
Harlequin Survey Reveals Americans Welcome Little White Lies
Is honesty always the best policy? No, not always says a new study from Harlequin. According to the 2008 Harlequin Romance Report, the majority of American men (61%) have lied when their significant other asked the dreaded "Do I look fat in this?" According to 63% of Americans, white lies are an acceptable and even welcome part of any relationship, despite the fact that trust and honesty were ranked as the values that mattered most to both men (41%) and women (51%) in relationships.
"Americans want to have trust in their relationships, but sometimes they'd rather have that trust broken," said Marleah Stout, Senior Public Relations Manager, Harlequin Enterprises Ltd. "We want honesty in our relationships, but only if it doesn't offend or contradict our own self-image. We want to know that when it comes to the big things like infidelity, finances, or relationship problems our partners are being honest and truthful. But where physical appearance, annoying habits and personal preferences are concerned we accept, and often expect, to be lied to."
Harlequin analyzed the data to look at when Americans believe lies are acceptable versus when honesty is the best policy. They also found some interesting relationship trends.
Fifty-three percent of men and 54% of women have researched a potential
date or significant other online
Forty-five percent of men and 55% of women confessed to having planned
to bump into someone on purpose in hopes of it leading to a date
Forty-one percent of men and 45% of women would confess flirting with
someone else to their significant other but only 16% of men and 18% of
women would confess to sending a sexually explicit email/text/instant
message to someone else
Forty-six percent of men and 52% of women felt it is ok to lie to get
out of plans they had already made
Eighty-one percent of men still have pictures and mementos from and of
their ex(s)
Sixty-five percent of men and 56% of women agree with interoffice
romances
Seventy-six percent of American men and 79% of American women say that
they have never regretted a confession they have made
Sixty-two percent of men and 69% of women say that they confess their
secrets to friends while only 39% of men and 46% of women confess their
secrets to significant others
Katie Holmes Never Received Flowers on Valentine's Day
AZCentral.com is reporting that Katie Holmes was never sent flowers on Valentine's Day during her youth.
Katie Holmes was never sent flowers on Valentine's Day when she was growing up.
The 'Mad Money' actress, now married to Tom Cruise, always felt ignored by the opposite sex on the romantic day, so she put all her effort into sending cards to her girlfriends.
Holmes is quoted by Britain's New. Magazine as saying, "I like making a big deal out of a lot of things, so yes, I like to have a whole day of romance.
I like surprises and I like sending Valentine's cards. I went to an all-girls high school and every Valentine's Day they would announce who had flowers waiting in the office. I got very used to the importance of giving other women Valentines because my name was never called - never. And I didn't have any money to send them to myself."
Poor Katie. At least she is getting plenty of flowers and attention now that she is married. She even had a fairytale wedding.
Kylie Minogue Uses Google to Look Up Potential Suitors
Kylie Minogue has revealed that she frequently types the names of potential dates into the Google search engine to see what information she can find about them - such as if they are married. Kylie revealed that her sister Danni Minogue also uses Google to scope out men.
The singer - who has been single since splitting from French actor Olivier Martinez - often logs on to the web search engine to check out potential suitors and find out which hunky male celebrities are available.
"I can't lie," she said. "I did it with a friend and she would out me! I can't tell you who I did it with though.
"I simply cannot reveal this information at this time."
Kylie shares her Google love search technique with sister Dannii.
The X Factor judge recently revealed she fell for soul singer Robin Thicke after seeing him on TV, and was going to make a move until she discovered he was married.
Married men are not going to fool Kylie are her search happy sister. There are many single women out there that find this Google trick useful. Unfortunately, not everyone shows up in Google.
Wired has an interesting article about the next generation of online dating websites. The websites make use of videos to help people find a love connection.
A handful of next-gen dating services updates the original online-dating sites' standard mix of exhaustive personality surveys and poring over profiles in search of a potential mate. They're the latest twists on internet dating, which drew in 22.6 million people this year, according to data collected by comScore.
Video-centered services like SpeedDate, Say-hey-hey and WooMe reel in online speed daters by offering quick registration, free memberships and the tantalizing promise of a date within minutes. Others, like Ice Brkr and Crazy Blind Date, rely on text messaging to coordinate speedy meetings.
WooMe, backed by original Skype backer Mangrove Capital Partners, allows members to create short group-video-chat sessions. SpeedDate, based in San Mateo, California, files a seemingly endless line of daters through your virtual door for three-minute "video dates" supplemented with a text client. With Say-hey-hey, users upload a YouTube-style clip of themselves, and viewers interested in a date ping the posters with intro videos of their own.
Larry Rosen, professor of psychology at California State University at Dominguez Hills and author of the forthcoming book Me, MySpace and I, says the evolution of online dating is only natural: Even pioneer dating site Match.com is hooking up with Facebook to tap the social networking site's growing popularity.
Some of the websites mentioned in the Wired story include SpeedDate, Say-hey-hey and WooMe. A lot of social networks have video features too but they are not specifically designed to be dating websites.
DontDateHimGirl.com Launches Charitable Fund Dedicated to Women's Causes
DontDateHimGirl.com, an online women's dating resource, has established DDHG Empowers - a new charitable fund dedicated to women's causes.
"It's so important for women to be informed and empowered in all areas of their lives," said the site's founder Tasha Cunningham. "And I'm thrilled to be able to start 2008 by launching this fund to help women to do just that. DDHG Empowers, in partnership with the Dade Community Foundation, will fund projects and programs that uplift women, give them a voice and make a positive impact on their lives."
A significant portion of the proceeds from DontDateHimGirl.com's annual advertising revenue will be donated to the fund, which will be administered by the Dade Community Foundation. DontDateHimGirl.com is an online resource for women seeking counsel, community and communication about love, sex, dating, relationships and marriage. Its mission is to empower women with information and connections to help them make better decisions and take more control in their personal lives.
"DontDateHimGirl.com gives us a powerful tool that can help to limit the amount of damage con men and sociopaths can wreak on our lives," says Kerry Gray of Austin, Texas, a poster and frequent visitor to the site. "Before, these men would simply move to the next town and next victim. Today, thanks to the World Wide Web and DDHG, we have a way to help our sisters around the world. Information is power."
DontDateHimGirl.com was launched in 2005 by Tasha Cunningham, a former Miami Herald columnist. The site offers articles and videos on dating as well as an active community forum. The forum can be found here.
An NBC article looks at the subject of ogling. It is usually men who are busted for ogling but both sexes ogle. NBC talked to Dr. David Barash, author of The Myth of Monogamy: Fidelity and Infidelity in Animals and People. Barash told NBC that it is wrong to think your marriage is doomed because your partner is attracted to someone else on occasion.
"People buy into this myth of the perfect mate and how once they find them, they won't have any interest in anyone else, and that's just wrong," says Barash. "If they're a normal healthy human mammal, they're likely to be attracted to someone else on occasion. It doesn't mean that their marriage or partnership is doomed. Nor does it mean they have to act on it."
Barash says being upfront with both yourself and your partner about the fact that "attraction happens" is the best way to deal with it - although that doesn't mean completely giving in to your inner wolf.
So "ogling happens" but while some ogling is natural too much ogling is probably not a good thing. The study found that males most likely to be more sexually promiscuous tend to do more ogling.
Another possibly new development? Shameless horndoggery.
"We've found pretty consistently that the extent to which people find their attention captured by attractive members of the opposite sex really depends upon personality characteristics," says Maner. "And people who are more sexually promiscuous are much more likely to have their attention captured by attractive members of the opposite sex."
The article also says that some couples are compiling "to-do lists" or celebrity top ten lists of people they are attracted to. Hopefully these "to-do lists" are celebrities because a "to-do list" of neighbors would probably not go over very well.
The Seattle Times recently talked to speed dating expert Aviva Fannie. She has held many speed dating events in Seattle and so she knows the common trends and the mistakes people make. One of the mistakes she sees often is guys not looking at the girl - they look at her drink instead. She also said there is always one attractive girl at speed dating events and all the guys will pick her but an attractive guy won't be chosen by all the girls.
How the sexes differ: "There is always one really attractive woman, and all of the guys will choose her." But for a really attractive guy, "Maybe 50 or 70 percent of the women will choose him. Women also look at his personality and interpersonal skills. Women are more selective than guys. That's just the nature."
The knowledge that women won't all choose the most handsome male attender might encourage more guys to try speed dating. Aviva also has some good advice for speed daters: "People like to hear their name, so mention their name in the conversation. A good sense of humor helps. It puts people at ease.... Show you have a brain. And guys, grooming helps."
Lately, the Facebook social network has been under fire for violating users' privacy with its Beacon service. This is probably just a blip in what has become an important social tool for today's teenagers and college students. Facebook offers a number of relationship options including "complicated." This Reuters video says that for the Facebook generation, linking profiles as a couple makes a relationship official. If you do link your partner as someone you are having a relationship with on Facebook be sure they are also going to link you back or it could be really embarrassing.
Men Try Romantic Fixes to Solve Relationship Troubles
The Herald Sunreports on a study that found unsurprisingly that men get more romantic when they believe a relationship is in trouble. When there are relationship troubles the study found men trying romantic fixes while women were more likely to want to try and discuss the issue.
Couples most commonly tried to improve their relationships by spending time together -- but this was true for 33 per cent of women and only 23 per cent of men.
And when asked what the best thing about their relationship was, women were more likely than men to list friendship, love and support.
Men were more likely than women to list compatibility, the length of the relationship and doing things together.
Women are more open to discussing relationship problems with outsiders -- 70 per cent of women do so, compared with 60 per cent of men.
The study - called the Relationships Indicators Survey - also looked at what causes problems in relationships. The biggest problems were issues of careers and trying to balance work and family. Financial troubles probably ranked high but the article didn't list the percentages for financial woes.
Hollywood writers are striking to make sure they get much needed and much deserved payments for new media content. Striking means they have to picket and carry signs. The Daily Newsreports that actors and writers picketing together presents an opportunity for singles. There was even an impromptu event organized called "Singles' Strike."
"I'm looking for a low-maintenance female who doesn't enjoy the finer things in life," he joked Thursday outside the Fox studio gate in Century City.
The writer for NBC's "My Name is Earl" was joined by about 50 other people for the impromptu event dubbed "Singles' Strike."
Charles Heit, a writer for the Sci Fi Channel's "Painkiller Jane," said he was dreading picket duty until he met Cara Delizia, a petite actress. Then it didn't seem so bad.
The two planned to go to dinner and a movie after putting down their picket signs.
"It's all about solidarity, right?" Delizia said.
If this strike is a long one perhaps there will be a few marriages that result from these picket line meetups.
Are you a Mom with a crush on someone who is not your husband? Dr. Robi Ludwig says this doesn't mean you are a bad person who is about to cheat. She says there can be a positive ego-boosting aspect to these surprise crushes. This is providing you do not act your crush obviously. Fantasizing is ok though Dr. Robi Ludwig said on the Today show.
Here's the good news: Having a secret mommy crush doesn't mean you're a bad person, about to have an affair, in a bad marriage and/or that you married the wrong guy. So why do these crushes happen?
Secret crushes can make a woman feel like a woman again. It's hard to feel like your sexy self when you're constantly cleaning up dirty laundry, dirty diapers, helping the kids with homework or cooking all the time. Sometimes being a mom and wife, although terrific in countless ways, can get a woman feeling more like a servant than a supermodel.
Having a crush is really less about the other person and more about us having the feelings we want to have, i.e., like feeling alive, excited, exciting and beautiful. Sometimes crushes are motivators to do something nice for yourself, like work out or buy something pretty and new, activities that some moms have a hard time doing for themselves. Secret crushes, when not acted on, are safe, sexy yet simultaneously ego-boosting. This intoxicating feeling often happens during transitional moments in a woman's life.
So the next time you find yourself having a secret crush, just enjoy it! All it really means is that you're still alive and remember what it's like to feel like an attractive woman. Then go and use that extra zest for life to enjoy your fabulous husband and wonderful kids. Happy fantasizing!
Just don't tell anyone about your secret mommy crush because then it won't be a secret anymore. The Today show link also includes a video.
Psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig is also the author of a book about more serious relationship issues. It's called Till Death Do Us Part and it's about killer spouses.
