Catch Him & Keep Him - Get Yours Now!
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.

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.

For women, this model is flipped – men will overlook extra weight in a woman with more education.
