In an analysis of the data of 300.000 players of an online game society, Michael Szell and Stefan Thurner found that women have more communication partners. They also reciprocate friendships, organize in clusters, take fewer risks than men and show a preference for stability in their networks. On the contrary, men try to talk most often with those who talk with many, reciprocate friendships with other males much less frequently, and respond quite quickly to female friendship initiatives. They also tend to have less cooperative links with other males, which indicates a more competitive approach.
Men under psychological stress prefer heavier, fuller-figured women over thinner women, a new study has revealed.
A recent study shows that men are more attracted to their women friends than vice versa. Men even overestimate the attraction felt from their friends. Read on.
Rather than succumbing to the primitive “fight or flight” instinct, men actually become more sociable and cooperative when under stress, according to new psychological study.
Violence in men can be explained by traditional theories of sexual selection. A new review points to a range of evidence that suggests that high rates of physical aggression and assaults in men are rooted in inter-male competition.
The newly minted Oscar winner for best documentary, Undefeated, has left many critics gushing—with praise, but also tears. The true-life sports tale follows a struggling high school football team in a poor area of Memphis, Tennessee, whose fortunes begin to turn under the guidance of a devoted and determined coach. The emotional story has reduced folks at Forbes, Esquire, and other media outlets to sniffles and sobs. It made us wonder: What actually causes people to cry at movies?

While personal matters such as family problems and living situations might cause the most stress for women, new research shows it's on-the-job issues that cause men the most anxiety.
Hormones shape our bodies, make us fertile, excite our most basic urges, and as scientists have known for years, they govern the behaviors that separate men from women. But how?
The new evidence shows that the sex hormones – testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone – act in a key region of the brain, switching certain genes on and others off.
A woman's memory of an experience is less likely to be accurate than a man's if it was unpleasant and emotionally provocative, according to research undertaken by University of Montreal researchers at Louis-H Lafontaine Hospital.
Prejudice is linked to aggression for men and fear for women, suggests new research led by Michigan State University scholars.
The personality trait narcissism may have an especially negative effect on the health of men, according to a recent study published in PLoS ONE.
Monogamy is failing men.
Not only is it failing them, but it's a "socially compelled sexual incarceration" that can lead to a life of anger and contempt, or so says Eric Anderson, an American sociologist at England's University of Winchester and author of the provocative new book, The Monogamy Gap: Men, Love, and the Reality of Cheating (Oxford University Press, $49.99).
Cheating, however, serves men pretty well. An undiscovered affair allows them to keep their relationship and emotional intimacy, and even if they're busted it's a lot easier than admitting that they wanted to screw someone else in the first place, he writes.

A scarcity of women leads guys to compete with each other financially, discount the future, decrease their desire to save, and simply make poor financial choices.
Even in the face of today's tough economy and high unemployment rate, a new study revealed that it is still no excuse: in dating, unemployment is a deal breaker, particularly for straight women.
Men have evolved to prefer dumb, sleepy or drunk women over those with charm and intelligence when they're on the hunt for a one-night-stand, according to a new study.
Perfume ads, beer billboards, movie posters: everywhere you look, women’s sexualized bodies are on display. A new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, finds that both men and women see images of sexy women’s bodies as objects, while they see sexy-looking men as people.

According to a recent survey of two thousand women, a staggering 25 percent would rather win America’s Next Top Model than a Nobel Prize. Picking beauty over brains might be a bit shallow, but is it also a bad choice? In other words: is being attractive a blessing or a curse?
Professor Mari Ruti of the Department of English and Drama at the University of Toronto Mississauga has written about love for both academic and mainstream audiences.
Evidence from all over the world suggests that men strongly prefer women who have a lot of body fat (roughly 30 percent of their body weight) and whose body fat is distributed in a particular way, with very little in the waist but much more in the hips, buttocks and thighs, producing a small waist-hip ratio. Why have men evolved to prefer such high levels of fat--more than bears settling down to hibernate or whales swimming in frigid waters? And even if it could be explained how more fat makes a better mom, why would it matter where she stored it; what is the message contained in a low waist-hip ratio? So this male preference actually consists of two nested psychological puzzles.
(Medical Xpress) -- Having a healthy skin colour is more important in determining how attractive a man is to women than how manly they look.
Men and women may both have passionate sex at the outset of a relationship, but for women that sexual desire plummets over time, for reasons scientists are still trying to decipher.
The clues are in her voice...
A new study has looked into how our psychology concerning war and conflict may have been shaped by our evolutionary past.
It’s the soul of a same bed, different dreams relationship: The most entangled intimacies accommodate the most elementally opposite meanings. Differences in the husband’s and wife’s perceptions aren’t always about the partners being oblivious, in denial, deceitful, treacherous, or naïve. Sometimes, the spouses are just living with two different meanings of the same word and the same life.
