A week or so ago, social media reports started trickling in that comedian Brody Stevens had died. The gut punch was that the 48-year old actor died by an apparent suicide. You’d likely have to be either into the comedy scene or listen to a lot of podcasts to really have an idea who Stevens was (he once toured with Dave Chappelle), but you probably would recognize his face from the first two Hangover films. Stevens had a uniquely nasal voice — sharp enough to cut diamonds — and was a generally…

Interesting news has come to us via The State University of New York at Buffalo (aka SUNY Buffalo). Evidently, couples that booze together cruise together for life. According to a report released by the university , Dr. Gregory Homish, assistant professor of health behavior, and his team have found that couples who share similar levels of engagement in certain vices — specifically, drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes — are more likely to be content in their relationships than couples whose d…

In some circles of belief, marrying a handful of ladies is commonplace. We’re talking about circles containing people with mildly different sensibilities than those of your run-of-the-mill Judeo-Christian American. While such behavior tends to leave many of us shocked and a few of us appalled, it still hasn’t convinced us to stop watching programs that feature polygamy, like Sister Wives and Big Love .

There’s a middle ground somewhere between over-the-top flirting and playing it too coy.

You’re busy AF — as any 17-year-old may text her best friend. And your AF may be colossally different from Steve Harvey’s, so let’s agree that we’re all probably too busy to really take on the “be better” mantra all of us seem to be intently flailing at these days. Getting yoked or learning conversational Cantonese is going to take some time. Like, dedicate your life instead of ever playing Candy Crush again kind of time. Ain’t nobody got time for that, right? But you can do a handful of things…

I’d never advocate someone make a drastic personality change to find a partner. And this one is a twofer: A) there is probably someone out there that can get on board with who you are and B) most personality changes are either temporary or the kind of exhausting that may eventually result in hysterical blindness. NOT WORTH IT. However, small tweaks are possible and are likely the only reason over 90 percent of us may not end up stark raving alone. That said, losing five pounds probably isn’t as…

(Insert the gender you are not) are weirdos. We can all agree about that. Maybe they’re not from a planet named after a Greek god but they do things that you just don’t understand. Is it how they were raised? Is it because of some hormone that you lack? Is it because they’re emulating someone admirable they’ve seen on television, in films, or on the stage? No one knows or cares. You just know that stuff they do (and say!) doesn’t always make sense to you, and you’re pretty sure the stuff they do…

Honesty is among one of the better policies, right up there with the No Child Left Behind Act (in theory) and “Let people off the train before you start getting on it,” in terms of general value to society at large. Yet, we’ve grown so sensitive to too much, and honestly we need more honesty. Sure, it can take a bowlful of sugar to make some medicine go down, but a total reluctance to criticize our friends is a disservice to them and ourselves. However, too much “calling it like we see it” quick…

When it comes to letting the infidelity cat out of the bag, a recent survey uncovered that ladies will tell their friends about an affair while dudes are much more likely to keep it to themselves. Do cheaters tell their friends? The bottom line of the survey is that 72% of women who cheat tell someone about their affair, whereas only 23% of men feel a need to confess their infidelities to anyone at all.

Research says love isn't just skin-deep, and we agree.
