Which picture’s worth a thousand dates?
The brainiacs over at OKCupid – a dating site incubated by a bunch of Harvard math geeks in ‘04; also where I met my music-nerd future-hub in ‘09 after being a member for all of a 48 hours — recently crunched a few numbers to analyze the effectiveness of users’...
Author (and FOBG) Lori Gottlieb appeared on the Today Show this morning to discuss her — to me, bizarrely — inflammatory book, Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough, which basically urges women to be picky about the important stuff (kindness) and not picky about the not-important...
These abstinence programs aren’t those abstinence programs

Dear John: Blending Two Families Is Harder Than We Thought

Not Oprah's Book Club: Reproductive Edition

I love GU. Pronounced “goo.” GU is an energy gel. What is this energy gel I speak of? And who should be eating these? And why? Do we really need these in our lives? Yes. But not all the time. And it depends on what you’re doing. There are times to use them...
