We have all heard that beauty is only skin deep, yet visual appeal continues to be a big part of physical attraction, at least initially. Other qualities are very important when sparking romance beyond superficial appeal, such as kindness, honesty, compassion, compatibility, and of course the way a prospective partner makes us feel about ourselves. Many daters are faced with a mix of positive traits to analyze, both physical and emotional.

Men are slightly less likely than women to awaken to quiet crying sounds but are just as likely as women to awaken to louder crying sounds. The researchers found a very slight difference at the lowest decibel level (33 to 44 decibels-which is a little bit louder than a whisper), with women being 14 percent more likely than men to awaken to both crying sounds and alarms at this level.

A survey recently conducted by the dating app The League asked its members what industries they would consider to be the most attractive for potential partners. Among female respondents, finance/business earned the most interest, and among male respondents, medicine/mental health seems to have gotten their hearts racing the most. That doesn't necessarily mean, though, that you have your work cut out for you, so to speak, if your career doesn't fall into one of the more favored industries.

For example, it has been found that the older people get, the more they prefer to have a younger partner if they start a new relationship. Interestingly, this effect is stronger in men than in women. Moreover, it has also been found that on average, the older partner in an age gap relationship is happier than the younger partner. This effect was especially pronounced when the older partner was a man.

This perplexed my colleague but made eminent sense to me. In evolutionary terms, think of our ancestral hunter-gatherers. Males hunting that woolly mammoth had to have incredible, one-pointed mindful awareness, no distractions. Otherwise, they'd more likely be dinner than kill dinner. These males, excellent at combat, hunting, and present-moment awareness, were more likely to survive and procreate (à la Darwin), leading to more men proficient at mindful, present-moment awareness.

Interaction and Events: While creating code, the all-male pairs interacted more with the SCRATCH interface than the all-female pairs. The all-male pairs moved blocks around significantly more often than all-female pairs (p = 0.041). Similarly, boys changed the parameters of an existing block more than the girls (p = 0.060). Dragging a new block out of the toolbox is also done more often by the all-male pairs, but not with such a distinct difference (p = 0.093).

More than a third (38%) of workers said that recent media stories about companies tightening their stance on office attendance had negatively affected their wellbeing.

The average American reported sleeping 9.04 hours per day.

The trans man expressed that he missed the intimate bonds and emotional depth found in female friendships, particularly moments of spontaneous connection and vulnerability.

The fact that so many people are dreaming about being late, being chased, or feeling trapped suggests that our daily emotions are spilling over into our sleeping subconscious.
