MUCH has been said about how men and women are from different planets — they just don’t speak the same language or think the same way.How far true is this?Last year, Durex’s Sexual Wellbeing survey revealed that 49 per cent of Malaysian men feel they don’t know enough about the “emotional” aspects of relationships, while only two per cent of Malaysian women felt the same way.”Intimacy” apparently means different things to a man and woman. The perception is that men who are attuned to their emotional side are not “real men”.Durex Malaysia general manager Voong King Yee says Malaysian men are generally not that open when it comes to expressing their emotions.”This might be due to our upbringing where men have been programmed from young to think that expressing oneself is not a manly thing to do.”HELP University College psychology lecturer and licensed marriage and family therapist associate Charis Wong Yen Wai says men have been conditioned to shut down their emotions.Men learn that the

Before running out and seeing the film Valentine’s Day, I want to share what I learned while completing my study about the online dating practises of urban professionals here in Vancouver. After interviewing 40 men and women about how they date online and what they look for in potential dates and mates, I hope to shed some light on what it means when we hear people say “I’m online dating.” Online dating may not help you find love, but it may be a welcome distraction from all those eHarmony.com commercials that try to convince you about how lonely you are during this made-up-holiday season.1. Love does not really occur online. Despite pop cultural conceptions of the lonely heart in his/her parent’s basement trolling for solely technologically-mediated, non-face-to-face interaction, online daters in Vancouver want to meet, on average, within two weeks. After a month of contact with no face-to-face meeting, you’re filed under the hermit-whodoesn’t-leave-their-house category. And believe m

Old-fashioned, common-sense advice to just relax may actually work to help some women get pregnant, doctors reported on Monday.Source: WikipediaFor years women seeking to get pregnant have been advised by friends and family to stop stressing about it — an idea that not all obstetricians and gynecologists have embraced.But research presented at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Atlanta suggests there may be something to it.Alice Domar, who runs a fertility center in Boston and also works at Harvard Medical School, found that women who took part in a stress management program while having a second round of assisted fertility treatment had a 160 percent greater pregnancy rate than women getting IVF alone.”Reproductive health experts have long wondered about the impact that stress may have on fertility, thus impeding a woman’s ability to conceive,” Domar said in a statement.”This study shows that stress management may improve pregnancy rates, minimizing the st

Women need more sleep than men — around 20 minutes of more sleep on an average — owing to their busy and multi-tasking brain, according to a new research by a British sleep expert.Source: Wikipedia“Women need 20 minutes more shut-eye than the average man. This is because women’s brains are wired differently from men’s and are more complex, so their sleep need is slightly greater,” said Professor Jim Horne, director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University in UK.Pointing out that one of the major functions of sleep is to allow the brain to recover and repair itself, Horne said, “During deep sleep, the cortex — part of the brain responsible for thought memory, language and so on — disengages from the senses and goes into recovery mode. The more a person uses his brain during the day, the more sleep he needs at night to recover, Horne said adding, “Women tend to multi-task — they do lots at once and are flexible — and so they use more of their actual

A good face cream can work wonders, but it’s equally important to nourish your skin from the inside out. Below, I present four delicious foods packed with essential nutrients to keep your skin looking radiant and fresh!1. Sweet Potato FriesSweet potatoes are a dynamite source of beta-carotene (their bright orange color is a dead giveaway). Your body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A, a nutrient that helps to continually generate new, healthy skin cells.I like to turn sweet potatoes into crispy oven-baked French fries. Cut peeled potatoes into ¼-inch strips and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with oil spray. Mist the fries with oil spray and season with salt, black pepper, or any other seasonings (ground cinnamon, curry powder, and chili powder are all fun options). Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through. I finish my fries under the broiler for 5 minutes to get them extra crispy!2. Balsamic CarrotsLike sweet potatoes, carro

You wear sunscreen every day, don’t smoke, and spare no expense on skin creams and potions. But despite your best intentions, you may still be making errors that can lead to premature aging. Here are five common skincare blunders to avoid.1. Over exfoliatingPeople with dry skin often think exfoliating can help by sloughing away flakes and dead skin cells. But over exfoliation can make dry skin worse by impairing your skin’s ability to hold onto water, making it look dull, lifeless and older. I’ve seen patients exfoliate so much they get a rash that feels like sandpaper!2. Using the same moisturizer year-roundSome skin types are oily in summer and dry in winter. This is because there is less water in the air in the winter and skin can easily become dehydrated. If you have oily skin, don’t assume you should use an oil-free moisturizer all year–or that you can go without. Instead, use a serum or lotion when your skin is oily and switch to a richer cream when it’s dry. Many companies incl

In a feat that could one day result in groundbreaking new cancer treatments, British scientists have identified genetic mutations that lead to lung cancer and melanoma.The findings were published December 16, 2009 in the journal Nature. Researchers at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, England, took cancerous cells from two patients — one with melanoma and one with lung cancer — and compared them to normal, healthy cells taken from the same individuals. Nearly 23,000 cell changes (called mutations) were found in the lung cancer genome, while more than 30,000 were found in the melanoma genome. While most mutations are harmless, the more mutations that occur, the more likely it is one will lead to cancer.The findings are remarkable because this is the first time that almost all of the mutations in the genomes of lung cancer and melanoma have been revealed. Even more important, the techniques used in this study allowed the researchers to identify what caused the mutations

Google (GOOG) introduced its long-awaited touch-screen phone, called the Nexus One, yesterday. The New York Times reports that the phone began selling “exclusively through a new online store” yesterday. The paper says: “Consumers will be able to buy the Nexus One for $529 unlocked or for $179 with a two-year calling plan from T-Mobile. Google said that the Nexus One would be available on Verizon [VZ] Wireless in the United States and on Vodafone in Europe later this year. It said it hoped to add other devices and carriers to the direct-to-consumer program in the future.” Tech buffs seem somewhat impressed by the phone’s capabilities, but not blown away. One analyst told the paper, “It is more evolutionary than revolutionary.” David Pogue of the NYT agrees. He writes that the phone is “pretty sweet,” but says that at the same time, “the Google news this week isn’t quite as earthshaking as Google seems to think it is.” Still, the WSJ points out that “because it will be available on the large, well-regarded Verizon 3G network, the Nexus One could tempt American iPhone users, tired of problems with AT&T [ATT], to switch.”

And an update about another anticipated release: The Wall Street Journal reports that the Apple (AAPL) tablet won’t be shipped out in March, even though the company will reveal the device in a few weeks. The paper sums up speculations about what to expect: “The tablet is expected to be a multimedia device that will let people watch movies and television shows, play games, surf the Internet and read electronic books and newspapers. Though companies like Toshiba Corp. and Hewlett-Packard [HPQ] have introduced Windows-based tablet computers before and Amazon.com [AMZN], and others sell similarly-sized digital-book readers, people briefed by Apple say the company intends to carve out a new product category.”

Warren Buffett is speaking out about Kraft’s (KFT) plans to eat up Cadbury. And as Kraft’s largest shareholder and someone who is well-known for wise investing, Buffett is sure to be heard. According to Bloomberg, “Buffett, who has said shareholders need to act like owners, is calling for caution in negotiations after Cadbury said Kraft’s offer was insufficient.” This isn’t the first time he has worked to undermine a merger. The article explains, “Buffett was the most vocal dissenter on Coca-Cola’s (KO) board when directors met in 2000 to discuss a $15.3 billion bid for Quaker Oats, the maker of Gatorade, Cap’n Crunch cereal and Rice-A-Roni.”

The Wall Street Journal reports on the final figures for December holiday retail sales. While clothing sales for the month were a weak spot, sales of electronics were better than expected. Still, overall, an analyst calls this past season “healthier” than last. The paper says, “Clothing stores discounted less and sold fewer items last month than a year ago, a combination that undercut sales but likely will translate into higher fourth-quarter profits, according to figures released Tuesday.” Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports on auto sales for the month, which were similarly good-but-not-great. The paper says, “In December, the annualized rate of auto sales in the United States climbed to 11.2 million, according to Edmunds.com. That’s up from 9.1 million at the nadir earlier last year but far from the halcyon days when auto sales ran over 16 million annually.” And one last economic indicator for the day: The New York Times reports that real estate could be slipping back into a slump. The lead story in the business section says: “The number of houses placed under contract fell sharply in November in the first drop in nearly a year, figures released Tuesday show. It was the clearest sign yet that predictions of another downturn in real estate may become a reality.”

Finally, there’s a “3-D television turf war” heating up in the U.S., according to today’s New York Times The paper has a run-down of upcoming rollouts: “Anticipating this coming wave, ESPN said Tuesday that it would show World Cup soccer matches and N.B.A. games in 3-D on a new network starting in June, and Discovery [DISCA], Imax [IMAX] and Sony [SNE] said they would jointly create a 3-D entertainment channel next year. The satellite service DirecTV [DTV] is expected to announce its own 3-D channels at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where every major television manufacturer is planning to announce 3-D televisions and compatible Blu-ray DVD players on Wednesday.”
