Facebook is Better Than Sex: Dating in the News

1 In 5 Women Choose Facebook Over Sex
When posed the question, “what would you rather live without for one full week: sex or Facebook…”, one might believe that it is a simple answer. Turns out that 1 in 5 woman might not agree with what you think the answer might be. The women’s magazine, Cosmopolitan, polled 2,000 readers about what they would be willing to give up for seven days; sex, television, their computer, texting and, of course, Facebook. While 20 percent of the responses claimed that they preferred keeping Facebook rather than sex, it was also shown that 57 percent and 50 percent refused to give up their computer or cell phone for intimate relations.

Unattractive to Women? Fat Chance!
Rich, portly, men with beautiful women on their arms are no rarity in today’s society. In fact, some might even argue it’s the norm. According to a recent study, this coupling can be explained by simple math. Pierre-Andre Chiappori, an economics professor at Columbia University, writes in his working paper, “Fatter Attraction: Anthropometric and Socioeconomic Matching on the Marriage Market,” that a little extra cushion around the waist on a man is not a big deal to attractive women, as long as he’s rich. For women, this model is flipped – men will overlook extra weight in a woman with more education.
