This blog has achieved a HUGE milestone!

It's hard to believe that this makes my 500th post on this blog! I launched the site in July 2014, which doesn't feel like that long ago.

I can't thank everyone enough for supporting me and this blog every step of the way. The blog now has over 1,200 followers, many of whom come from Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and message boards all over the internet. As of today, the site has logged a whopping 66,945 page views!

Your experiences, hopes, and opinions inspire me to churn out more and more content about substantive topics that matter to all of us.

As the year winds down, I aim to continue writing about breaking news stories, as well as findings supported by research studies. In addition, I will provide you with helpful tips and advice on how to do everything from save money to resolve conflicts with partners, friends, and other people in our lives. Also thrown in the mix will be fun facts and educational content spanning subjects like history, psychology, and sociology.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on how I can make the site better, you're always welcome to provide them in the comments section that accompanies this and every other post.

It's been a pleasure to meet so many great people through the blog and I look forward to countless more conversations with you all in the years ahead. This site takes a lot of work, but you know what they say-- when you're passionate about what you do, it doesn't feel like work at all. Thanks again for all you do to make this blog fun, lively, and educational.

Onward!

Women vs. Men: Who likes to backstab more?

Whether it's on TV or in the workplace, the general consensus seems to be that women gossip, backstab, and stir up more conflict than men do. But, as with every other topic, I thought it only fair to put this so-called stereotype under the microscope. If you watch reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice, you'll notice it's the women who spend far more time bickering. While the men do at times become embroiled in tit for tat, it's the women who are portrayed as meaner and more hostile. In the workplace, I have noticed that women seem to gossip far more than their male counterparts. I haven't really seen any cases where a person blatantly backstabs the other, but I have caught both men and women in little white lies. If it is true that women are generally more into backstabbing and gossiping than men, why is this the case? I believe that it isn't fair to make a blanket statement like "all women play these games while all men keep to themselves and pre...

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

Men prefer to marry brunettes

Study after study shows that men prefer blondes as girlfriends or mistresses and brunettes as wives . It seems many men see brunettes as more trustworthy and loyal. What's more, even though participants claimed that blondes are better in bed, they feel brunettes are better kissers and more affectionate than blondes. I find these results to be rather interesting. In my high school and early college days, I actually had a preference for blondes myself -- that is, until I hooked up with my now-wife. From that point on, I deemed brunettes as more attractive and marriage material, probably because they reminded me of and more closely resembled her. I think we can blame Hollywood, shows like Baywatch, and Playboy for painting blondes as wild, big chested, promiscuous and loose. (Yes, I know that there are brunettes in Playboy, but they seem to be in the minority.) When someone tells a man to think of an attractive blonde, who do you think likely crosses his mind? More likely than...
