Happy Valentines Day!

You can see the last year's Valentines cards here, here and here.

Girl: "I can't be your valentine for medical reasons." Boy: "Really?" Girl: "Yeah, you make me sick!" 

Have a nice weekend!

Mustaches make you creepier

Actually, it really IS science. A study had 351 women rate attractiveness of 10 men in the following stages of facial hair: clean shaven, light stubble (5 days unshaven), heavy stubble (10 days unshaven), and fully bearded.

Heavy stubble was viewed as the most attractive, while clean-shaven and fully bearded tied. Light stubble was not viewed as attractive, as it was often too patchy.

And worth mentioning: 5 Year Impact Factor: 4,249.

Also, they used MANova for statistics:-) very topic appropriate.

Link to the full paper.

Happy Friday,

Romance isn’t all about red roses and rhyming couplets, it’s also evident in our more logical passions. Tesla really charges me up. LOL.
