    Could you be micro-flirting without realising it ?
    Jun 17 2025
    There are plenty of ways to get the attention of someone you're crushing on. It might come very naturally to some, but for others, flirting can be an intimidating proposition. Have you ever wondered if someone is flirting with you, because of their somewhat ambiguous approach? Well, they may have been micro-flirting, a technique that dating experts say is used by shy men in particular. And there are actually some pretty recognisable under-the-radar strategies that qualify as micro-flirting, which is what we’re going to shed light on today. How exactly does one micro-flirt then? Why do shy people tend to veer towards a micro-flirting approach then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why are more and more men joining the no fap movement?

    Why are more and more men joining the no fap movement?
    Jun 17 2025
    Now if you’ve never heard the word fap before, let me spell it out to you. It’s basically an onomatopoeic slang term for male masturbation. According to Business Insider, the term first appeared in a web comic called Sexy Losers in 1999, to indicate the sound of a male character masturbating. An Urban Dictionary definition for the term was then added in 2002, and usage grew from the 2000s onwards. So obviously now you know what that means, you’ll have realised that the no fap movement means quitting masturbation. And while masturbation is a pleasurable activity for many, the no fap movement against it has been gaining traction for about a decade now. It started out in the U.S. and the aim is to combat porn addiction and masturbation. Why do all these men want to stop masturbating? Are any of those claims true? What should someone do if they feel addicted to masturbation then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What is Lucky Girl syndrome, this new method that is all the rage on Tik Tok?
    Jun 17 2025
    You might be familiar with the expression ‘you make your own luck’ or with the idea of thinking positively to create a positive outcome - some people refer to it as ‘manifesting’. But now, a new trend on the social media platform TikTok has taken it one step further with what has been dubbed ‘lucky girl syndrome’. Essentially you tell yourself that everything just works out for you and that you are the luckiest person with phrases like ‘everything just always works out for me’ or I always get what I want’ and just like that you now have Lucky Girl Syndrome. It first started on TikTok in December 2022, when creator Laura Galebe posted a video explaining how she believes she gets “the most insane opportunities” simply by “expecting great things” to happen. How does it work? Is there any evidence that it works? What are the problems with Lucky Girl Syndrome? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Is sleeping less than 6 hours a night the equivalent to being drunk?

    Is sleeping less than 6 hours a night the equivalent to being drunk?
    Jun 16 2025
    We've all been there - it's late, you're exhausted, but sleep just won't come. You toss and turn, check the clock every few minutes, and the longer you're awake, the more anxious you feel about how little rest you're going to get. Morning comes, and even though you're barely functioning, you drag yourself out of bed, grab a coffee, and stumble through the day in a fog. And it’s not just your imagination. When you sleep less than six hours a night, your brain starts to operate as if you were legally drunk. What do researchers mean by "drunk"? Why compare sleep deprivation to alcohol?

  • Which type of wine is best for your health?

    Which type of wine is best for your health?
    Jun 16 2025
    When it comes to health, many people wonder which type of wine can most easily be enjoyed without needing to worry about negative health consequences. First things first, I hate to be a party pooper but let’s be clear: there’s no kind of alcohol that is actually “good” for your health. So red wine does contain some antioxidants, which have reported health benefits. But senior dietitian and British Heart Foundation spokesperson Victoria Taylor says that “while it is often included in the traditional diet, it isn’t an essential part and should be drunk in moderation.” So are dry reds the healthiest option then? What about rosé then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Which colours go well together according to science?

    Which colours go well together according to science?
    Jun 16 2025
    It's often said that colour preferences are simply a matter of personal taste, but actually some have been backed up by science, especially in the field of art history. For the last two centuries, it has been customary in art and design to come up with colour combinations based on what is known the colour wheel. It’s a visual representation of the spectrum of colors, organized in a circular format. This wheel divides colours into primary: red, blue, and yellow, secondary: green, orange, and purple, and tertiary colors, creating a harmonious spectrum. But what is it? Where does it come from? What’s the point of it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
