Men Try Romantic Fixes to Solve Relationship Troubles
The Herald Sun reports 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.

Love and Dating on the Picket Line
 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 News reports 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.
