Men are quicker at confessing love

Men are quicker to say 'I love you' to their partners than women, says a new study.

According to the dating survey, which was conducted for a magazine, men take an average of seven months to tell a new partner that they love them, however, when it comes to women, they take almost eight months, reports The Telegraph.

The study also found that when it comes to dating, the over 55s are the most active – and experimental – of all age groups.

To reach the conclusion, the magazine commissioned YouGov to interview almost 2,000 men and women of all ages and backgrounds who have been on a date in the past year.

Jenni Trent Hughes, a relationship counsellor, said: "Although women do tend to wear their heart on their sleeves more than men do, men are just as emotional and sensitive – sometimes even more so."

Oliver James, the clinical psychologist and author, said the findings supported other studies that showed that men fall in love more frequently than women. "This is because women mature sooner than men and develop to be more hard-nosed, realistic and in touch with their emotions," he added.

He added: "So when a man says 'I love you' it might be his way of dealing with a lot of complex, difficult emotions that he doesn't really understand, whereas when a woman says it, it might carry a greater weight. The classic cliché is that men use love to get sex and women use sex to get love."

Girls love cheesy chat up lines!

The next time you approach a girl, do not hesitate to try out a cheesy chat-up line because girls absolutely love it, for they give a glimpse of a man's sense of humour.

According to a study, six out of 10 ladies are more likely to fall for a man if he breaks the ice with a light-hearted one-liner.

Conducted by www.OnePoll.com, the survey, which questioned 4,000 adults, revealed that four out of 10 women were still dating or were married to a man who first approached them with a funny quip.

However, not every line can do the trick for you-it was found that there are do's and don'ts in the dating game as well.

Lines such as "Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?", and "Apart from being beautiful, what do you do for a living?" worked "most of the time".

But "Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes" and "Is there a rainbow, because you're the treasure I''ve been searching for," were likely to end up in red-faced failure for being "too over the top".

The study found that seven out of 10 women like being chatted up while out with friends as it gives their confidence a boost - as long as the potential suitor is good looking.

"Women like a guy with a sense of humour and a cheesy chat-up line is a good way of displaying that," the Daily Express quoted a spokesman for www.OnePoll.com, as saying

"To fire off a good chat-up line at a pretty girl the man will have to be pretty confident too, and women like confident men.

"At the very worst you're probably going to get a smile and a polite ''sorry, I'm not interested'', but it seems there are some lines which actually work very well indeed.

"These are the ones which are light-hearted and quite clever and well thought out. It's the really awful ones which are going to end up with a bloke having egg on his face in front of his mates," he added.

Love boosts creativity!

Love is not only blind, it is creative also! Atleast researchers think so.

The lovestruck enjoy a surge in creative powers while those who are merely randy are sharper logicians, a new study finds.

Dutch researchers asked students to imagine either a romantic walk with a loved one or a one-night stand with a casual acquaintance before giving them a set of problems involving either creative thinking or logic, Miller-McCune reports.

On problems calling for creative thinking, the group with romance in mind outperformed both the lustful and a control group asked to imagine themselves a solitary stroll, while the reverse was true for the logic puzzles. The results, researchers say, demonstrate that people "process information in two fundamentally different ways: They focus on the forest, or they focus on the trees." The romantic were looking at the long-term picture, they say, while those with sex on the brain were more suited to pursuing short-term goals—such as "specific

Love not enough for Marriage!

Love has no major role to play in keeping couples together. In fact, the chances of a couple staying together are affected by age, previous relationships – and smoking.

That’s the conclusion of a new study, which was conducted by researchers at the Australian National University.

To reach the conclusion, boffins spent six years monitoring 2,500 couples who were married or living together, reports The Daily Express.

The study found that money played a major factor in deciding whether a couple stand the test of time. The study, entitled What's Love Got to Do With It, showed that a quarter of partnerships and marriages will end within six years and half will be over within 25 years.

It also found that a husband who is nine or more years older than his wife is twice as likely to get divorced, as are husbands who get married before they turn 25.

Couples were twice as likely to split if the wife had a much stronger preference for children or for more of them. Smoking and drinking rates also contributed to relationship breakdown, the study found.

In love? It's not enough to keep a Marriage, study finds

Living happily ever after needn't only be for fairy tales. Australian researchers have identified what it takes to keep a couple together, and it's a lot more than just being in love.

A couple's age, previous relationships and even whether they smoke or not are factors that influence whether their marriage is going to last, according to a study by researchers from the Australian National University.

The study, entitled "What's Love Got to Do With It," tracked nearly 2,500 couples -- married or living together -- from 2001 to 2007 to identify factors associated with those who remained together compared with those who divorced or separated.

It found that a husband who is nine or more years older than his wife is twice as likely to get divorced, as are husbands who get married before they turn 25.

Children also influence the longevity of a marriage or relationship, with one-fifth of couples who have kids before marriage -- either from a previous relationship or in the same relationship -- having separated compared to just nine percent of couples without children born before marriage.

Women who want children much more than their partners are also more likely to get a divorce.

A couple's parents also have a role to play in their own relationship, with the study showing some 16 percent of men and women whose parents ever separated or divorced experienced marital separation themselves compared to 10 percent for those whose parents did not separate.

Also, partners who are on their second or third marriage are 90 percent more likely to separate than spouses who are both in their first marriage.

Not surprisingly, money also plays a role, with up to 16 percent of respondents who indicated they were poor or where the husband -- not the wife -- was unemployed saying they had separated, compared with only nine percent of couples with healthy finances.

And couples where one partner, and not the other, smokes are also more likely to have a relationship that ends in failure.

Factors found to not significantly affect separation risk included the number and age of children born to a married couple, the wife's employment status and the number of years the couple had been employed.

The study was jointly written by Dr Rebecca Kippen and Professor Bruce Chapman from The Australian National University, and Dr Peng Yu from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

To spice up Sex life try Outercourse

People who do not want to go all the way to sexual intercourse can still be more sexual and even more orgasmic with what sex experts call an "outercourse".

Outercourse is the umbrella term for any kind of sex play that doesn't involve oral or traditional sex, but still manage to offer sexual gratification for lovers involved in the act.

It's ideal in minimizing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the risk of pregnancy, reports Fox News.

However, the method is not completely foolproof, as it depends on how much clothing people keep on.

Outercourse allows lovemaking to last longer, and couples are given the opportunity to soak in more of what the sexual experience is about.

Partners may feel closer and more connected with each other and themselves, while for new lovers, it allows them to build trust while feeling sexually connected.

For older, experienced lovers, outercourse can hurl them back in time, helping them to reclaim the thrill of the forbidden nature of sex.

Outercourse embodies a number of sexual activities, including:

Erotic Talk - Whether in the boudoir, over the phone, via text or online, lovers can catapult each other to a carnal cosmos with some lascivious lingo.

Sensual Storytelling - Between reading sexy stories and looking at erotica, lovers can entertain themselves for hours while playing with their own hot spots.

Role-Playing - By sharing fantasies, lovers can pick and choose their preferred real-life passion pursuits.

Erotic Massage - Lovers work every part of the body with scintillating sexual touch.

Kissing - Suck face and grope each other like teenagers, eventually showering your lover's entire body with kisses.

Cybersex - Via instant messaging, E-mail, Internet chatrooms, or cyberspace forums, lovers can have tech sex of all types. Maximum satisfaction is realized in how much you choose to touch yourself versus your keyboard.

Strip Teases - Give your lover his or her own private viewing, being sure to conclude your routine with some lush lip action and titillating touches.

Sexual Enhancement Products - Sex toys were practically made for outercourse. Offering variety, experimentation, and hours of entertainment, lovers can explore each other's bodies as they tap all of their senses.

Mutual Masturbation - Pleasure yourself for your partner's pleasure or erotically massage each other's bodies at the same time or take turns stimulating the other.

Dry sex - Lovers can rub up against each other to no end, stimulating each other into oblivion.

Women don't always fall for tall Men

It may be time to reconsider the adage that bigger is better, for a new study has shown that traditional hunter-gatherers in Tanzania don't consider height to be an important factor when choosing a partner, as compared to western women, who favour tall men.

Previous studies have shown that when finding a mate, tall men have advantages, as they are more likely to marry, and produce more offspring on average. But most of those studies are based on western data.

In the new study, Rebecca Sear of the London School of Economics and Frank Marlowe of Florida state university in Tallahassee examined partner choice in the Hazda forager tribe in Tanzania.

They looked at the height and weight of married couples, as well the number of marriages per person, reports New Scientist.

The researchers found that out of 46 women questioned, only one said she preferred 'big' men, and neither sex was influenced by size in their choice of partner.

Sear suggests that height preferences are context-specific and while some mate preferences might be universal, it is "time to reassess our 'bigger is better' view of size".

The study has been published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.

'Don't Believe in love at first sight'

Think you've found 'the one' after making eye contact with that random guy on the train or the girl you saw at the coffee shop? Well, forget them, suggests a psychiatrist and relationship expert who insists the myth of love at first sight is not only untrue but is to blame for many unhappy relationships and failed marriage.

Gordon Livingston says it's 'mindless' to think that sometimes the first encounter is enough to fall in love with someone.

"It's impossible to make those kind of judgments until you really know someone," the Courier Mail quoted Livingston as saying.

"There's certainly such thing as attraction at first sight, and in retrospect you (may) have been right that this was the person, but often those initial chemical surges betray us," he added.

Livingston said that society and advertising portray a certain look as being "beautiful", but this can mislead us and confuse our ability to make decisions about potential partners.

"We're automatically drawn to (those deemed beautiful) on an almost instinctual basis but they may not have those inner qualities that make for satisfying marriage. This is why it's so important to know somebody," he said.

Tips on How To Kiss

Kissing and being kissed is such a subjective experience and expression of our individuality that it’s useless to try and develop a list of universal kissing dos and don’ts. Indeed, if you’re looking for tips on how to kiss, keep in mind that kissing means different things in different cultures. So the kiss that works for one person may not work for another, even with identical technique. Learning how to kiss, or how to be a better kisser, is as much about learning to read your partner as it is about learning the right things to do with your lips. With that in mind, here are some basic tips on how to kiss.

Difficulty: N/A

Time Required: Kissing, particularly at first, shouldn't be rushed. Learning how to kiss is slow seduction.

Here's How:

1. Kissing Is Touching
   One of the powerful things about kissing is the closeness of the physical contact. Kissing is a very intimate form of touching. And just as you might be inclined to start with hand holding before you grab your partner’s ass, your first kisses should be intentional but introductory, expressive of the desire you feel without being insensitive to the response of the receiver. And because kissing is a kind of touch, before you kiss, try out safer touches. Hold hands, lean your body on your partner, put your hands on his shoulders and see what that feels like and how he responds.
2. Practice
   Practice kissing on your own. Not only is this a great thing to do to remove your ego and make yourself laugh, kissing yourself can, unexpectedly, feel very good. Try kissing different spots on your hand (in between your knuckles, in the crook between your thumb and forefinger), your arm and wrist, your knees. Notice how the different kinds of skin feel on your lips. Practice light pecks and long pressure kisses. Practice kissing with lips closed and open. When you think you’re ready for it, see what happens when you introduce a little tongue. Even if you think it’s silly, try it.
3. Engage Your Other Senses
   Use your other senses both to indicate your intentions and also to make contact with your partner. You can lower your gaze from his eyes to his lips or touch his face and lips with your hand. If you need to ask him to move so you can get a good look at his face and lips, do it. If you’re worried about how to make that first move, these are all ways of letting him know without saying “I want to kiss you now.” Although, for the record, coming right out and saying it can also be exciting, and in many cases, a bold move the reaps rewards.
4. Two Smell Tests
   This may seem like obvious, but make sure your breath is fresh and clean before going in for a kiss. Sometimes less obvious is avoiding too much perfume or cologne. Forget TV commercial fantasy land, overwhelming scents from cosmetic products can be a major turn off. If you don’t know enough about the person you’re kissing to know what he likes and doesn’t like, aim for a neutral smell, being no smell at all.
5. Lean In, and Pause
   The anticipation of that first kiss can be intense, and that tension can be a big sex drive booster. So instead of rushing in to get it over with, lean in slowly, and before your lips touch the first time, pause to take in the sensations. With your face so close to your partner's, you can smell him, feel your cheek brush up against his, listen to the sound of both of you breathing. Pausing for a split second gives you both a chance to absorb the sexual energy. It’s also a bit of playful teasing that can be a welcome reminder of the fun that kissing can be.
6. Start Slow and Small
   Keep your lips closed and moist but not wet, and start with just a small kiss or peck. You can start on the cheek or on the lips, but the important thing is to start small and slow. Purse your lips, but try not to keep them too tight (here’s where all that practice comes in handy!) At first, starting with a series of small kisses to let both of you feel each other’s pacing, likes, and dislikes out, is a good idea. Long kisses where your lips stay connected may be something you both like, or not, so starting with a 20-second lip lock might not go over.
7. One Lip, Two Lip
   Another way to start small is to start by kissing just his upper or lower lip. Then you can move from kissing the upper to the lower lip, and move side to side on his lips. Notice how the feel of the lips in the middle of the lips is different than the parts near the sides of the mouth. Everyone has his own hot spots, so moving around is a good way of learning what your partner likes and where he likes it.
8. Body Language
   When you’re kissing, there may not be a lot of talk. So if you want to know what’s working for your partner you need to pay attention to all their non-verbal communication. As you try different pressures and areas of kissing, listen for the kinds of noises he's making, and how his breathing may change as you move, for example, from a gentle peck to a longer, deeper kiss. Watch what he does with his body and his hands in response to your kisses. If he's grabbing you closer, chances are he likes what you’re doing. If he seems unaroused, move on to somewhere or something else.
9. Enter the Tongue
   On the one hand, you can wait and leave it to him to make the first tongue move. But if you both do that, you may be waiting for something you want for a while. Here’s one tip to reduce the chances of an unwelcoming tongue entrance: As you’re kissing begin kissing with a slightly open mouth. Don’t move your tongue anywhere, but instead of pursed lips keep your lips just barely open. If your partner responds in kind chances are he's open to a meeting of mouths and tongues.
10. Another Tongue Trick
    If you’re unsure of when tongues in mouths is fine, you can start by using your tongue when kissing other parts of your partner’s body. Gently kiss your partner’s arm or neck or shoulder, and with your lips against his skin, let your tongue briefly touch their skin. Don’t go for a lick, and avoid a flicking of the tongue. Instead, the tongue adds just a bit of extra warmth and moisture to a kiss. See how your partner responds to your tongue in this context and it may tell you something about if, how and when he wants your tongue in his mouth.
11. Moist, Not Too Wet
    A classic complaint about bad kissers is that they are too wet. When in doubt (meaning before you know), you want to keep your kisses moist but never wet. If you’re prone to excessive saliva, you can either pay attention or let your partner know. Keeping your lips gently pursed (not puckered) is another way of reducing the transfer of wetness. Also work slowly up to major open-mouthed kisses, and avoid licking altogether unless you know they want it.
12. Rubbing, Nibbling, Biting
    You can also use your lips to touch your partner’s lips and face without a specific kiss. The feel of your lips gently rubbing or passing against each other can be exquisite. Many people like the sensation of a partner nuzzling, nibbling, and even gently biting on his lips and tongue. But this is definitely not something you want to do right away. Our tolerance and desire for pressure and intense sensations changes as we get more aroused. So build up to more intense kissing, unless you’re both on the same we’ve-only-got-five-minutes page.
13. Do Unto Others
    Many of us aren’t comfortable talking about how and where we like to be kissed. One way you can get around this is by doing to your partner what you’d like him to do to you. So if you’ve got a partner who is constantly nibbling at your ears, it may be that he really wants you to reciprocate. Of course, it might be that he saw it in a movie, or he just thinks you’ll like it. But noticing how your partner is kissing you is one way to get ideas about how you might want to kiss them. Asking is always a good way to find this out too!
14. Kissing Don’ts
    In truth, there are no kissing absolutes. Anything that I might say you shouldn’t do, is something that thousands of people out there love having done to them. But in the context of early kissing, here are a few general things to avoid at first. No sucking, no blowing, no sudden tongue movements, and no swapping spit unless invited. Remember that your partner may really like this stuff, but most of us need a little build up before the big show.

Unlucky in love? Try This

Unlucky in love? Well, try to perk up your sense of humour, for a new study has found that ladies adore men who make them laugh.

According to the research, women think that funny men are smarter and more likely to be honest than more dour counterparts.

The researchers think that the findings could be the reason why so many lonely heart ads placed by women list GSOH (good sense of humour) as a prerequisite for a partner.

Boffins believe ladies have evolved to find intelligence an attractive quality because it suggests that a man will be a good provider for her and her children.

The study included 45 heterosexual women who were asked to read shorts descriptions of themselves compiled by 20 men, 10 of which were scored extremely funny and 10 as only slightly funny.

Then women were asked how intelligent and honest they thought that the men were and how likely they would be to go on to develop a friendship or a long-term relationship with them.

The findings show that men who used the funniest descriptions of themselves were thought to be significantly more intelligent than those who weren't as witty.

The women in the study also judged the men who had a good sense of humour as more honest and said that they would be more likely to become friends with them.

Funnier men were also seen as a better catch for a long-term relationship, according to the findings.

Kristofor McCarty, from Northumbria University, who led the study, said: "A quick browse of lonely-hearts ads will confirm that women look for a good sense of humour in a potential partner - our research may explain why this is the case.

"The findings provide evidence that women use humour as an indication of a guy's intelligence.

"Intelligence is a very attractive quality as a clever man should be more able to provide resources for his offspring.

"But guys be warned: not just any gag will do. We discovered that the humour must be genuinely funny for the man to be judged as more intelligent."

Ok to kiss? A device to check Breath

Whether you're about to kiss your girlfriend or begin a job interview, how would you know whether your breath is sweet and clean.

Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers have come up with a tiny breath test which lets you know whether malodorous bacteria are swarming all over your mouth. A blue result suggests you need a toothbrush. But if it's clear, you're "okay to kiss".

The original 'OkayToKiss device' comprises a colour indicator and saliva collector.

Scientists believed that only one population of bacteria (the gram-negative ones) break down the proteins in the mouth and produce foul odour.

But Mel Rosenberg, professor and Nir Sterer of TAU's Sackler Faculty of Medicine, recently discovered that the other population of bacteria (the gram-positive ones) are bad breath's bacterial partner.

These bacteria appear to help the gram-negative ones by producing enzymes that chop sugary bits off the proteins that make them more easily degraded. This enzymatic activity, present in saliva, serves as the basis for the new "OkayToKiss" test.

Rosenberg, an authority on the diagnosis and treatment of bad breath, co-developed the kit with Sterer. An earlier invention of Rosenberg led to the development of two-phase mouthwashes that have become a hit in Britain, Israel and elsewhere.

"All a user has to do is dab a little bit of saliva onto a small window of the 'OkayToKiss' kit," explained Rosenberg.

"'OkayToKiss' will turn blue if a person has enzymes in the mouth produced by the gram-positive bacteria. The presence of these enzymes means that the mouth is busily producing bacteria that foster nasty breath," he explained.

Apart from its social uses, the test can be used as an indicator of a person's oral hygiene, encouraging better health habits, such as flossing, brushing the teeth, or scheduling that long-delayed visit to the dentist, said a TAU release.

These findings were published in the Journal of Breath Research.
