Heights And Ass
If we disregard the biggest single factor, wealth, and look only at physical characteristics, then women look for four things in a man: height, height, height, and everything else. The “everything else” does not appear always to include bulging pecs and washboard abs; the authorities are quite divided on the desirability of these virtues, and […]

The Poker Players
It used to be thought that human females were unlike other mammals in not having a visible oestrus cycle that swings from zero to intense sexual interest.

Every little girl wants, or so it seems, to be a “princess”. What does that mean?

After all, you […]
