Oh, isn't that adorable: Some Lothario-on-the-go concluded his recent subway copulation by carefully tying his used prophylactic to an F train pole/hand rest. A more vulgar Romeo might have simply tossed his rubber carelessly to the floor of the train, or even discarded it into the dustbin of oblivion, erasing all record of his mass transit triumph. But this proud gentleman had the inspiration to share his conquest with the world. As one impressed Gothamist staffer put it, "It's like his flag!" more ›

Ladies of New York, finding a sensitive man just got easier, look no further than... Staten Island! According to a new survey conducted by Chemistry.com, the borough is the 10th most sensitive city in the United States (falling behind places like Pompano Beach, Florida and Buffalo, New York). The site explains that they used their "data based on the personality types of American singles... to pinpoint the cities with the highest concentrations of softhearted men—and you may be surprised by where these gallant gents are residing!" Why yes, color us surprised! more ›

Some saddening, if unsurprising, news from Science today: apparently women eat less when they're dining with men than they do when in the company of fellow women, according to new research. Ladies, get it together! more ›

You shouldn't get so annoyed at your girlfriend for crying about everything, because it turns out there's a biological reason behind those tears. And no, it's not ladies' wombs making them all sympathetic to that Lifetime special. New research is delving into the difference between how men and women cry, and part of the reason women tear up faster is because their tear ducts are too small. How long until men start comparing the size of their tear ducts in the locker room? more ›

If you recently heard a friend or co-worker inexplicably shouting, "I HOPE YOU GET ASS CANCER," he or she was probably just reading that John Edwards has proposed his mistress Rielle Hunter. Now, some may say that Elizabeth Edwards, who died last month from cancer, is "barely cold," as the saying goes, but you know what's colder? John Edwards's rotten heart. His marriage to Elizabeth ended, you'll recall, in the wake of news that he had an affair and fathered a child with Hunter. News of the marriage proposal is being reported by the National Enquirer today, so take it with a grain of salt, but the tabloid has led the pack on the Edwards adultery scandal since the beginning. more ›

Great news for Tiger Woods, Jesse James and Eliot Spitzer: a new study suggests that cheating may have more to do with your biology than your greedy penis. Justin Garcia, a researcher from SUNY Binghamton, recently took DNA samples from 181 college students for his study. He examined the DRD4 gene, and found a variable of a person’s D4 gene makes them prone to one-night stands, infidelity and uncommitted sex. Garcia plans on doing a larger study to back up the research, but he doesn't think this lets cheaters off the hook: “It is not an excuse. There is never an excuse for bad behavior in terms of relying on our biology." Pshaw, the First Wives Club may agree with that, but they're fictional. Try telling that to the Cheaters' Club. more ›

According to a new survey from AskMen.com, New York City ranked #1 in the world for the best city to live in if you're a guy. The survey rated 29 cities according to cost of living, weather, jobs, dating, leisure activities and air quality, and New York beat out Melbourne, Tokyo and London. Website editor in chief James Bassil told Reuters, "We're positioning the best cities that you can live in say, for a year, somewhere exotic, with cultural options, and job opportunities as well, and also entertainment as a man, which includes clubs and fresh air options." more ›

According to new census data, men profit financially from tying the knot, where forty years ago, they lost out. The findings reflect a change in marital attitudes over the last 40 years—where once women sought to find a rich guy and live off his wad, working wives are the trend of today. The takeaway: In today's desperate economy, men should spend less time sending out resumes and more time applying for well-compensated positions as husbands. more ›

This looks dangerous! Restless reports seeing a Manhattan-bound Roosevelt Island Tram yesterday dangling above the East River... and then moving with "two men dangling off it, a few hundred feet above ground. And they were climbing around." Well, this seems like a terrible idea. Video here. more ›

According to the temperance scolds over at the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, you are a binge drinker if you consume more than five alcoholic beverages during one occasion. We always thought that just means you're a New Yorker, but apparently drinkers nationwide go on crazy, multi-drink "binges" just as much as we do here. A study released today finds that 15% of New Yorkers cop to "binging" at least once a month, compared to 16% nationwide. more ›

Governor David Paterson asked Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for legal alternatives concerning the chief judge nominees list. With Chief Judge Judith Kaye retiring from the State Court of Appeals this year, a state panel submitted a list of candidates to replace her--the state constitution says the governor must pick from that list--but Paterson was "disturbed" that the list lacked women! more ›

It seems that many men who lost their shirts in the Wall Street tailspin have also lost their ability to satisfy women. According to the Post, sales of vibrators have surged, and more ladies are bemoaning their lovers' lack of lust. A Brooklyn lawyer whose boyfriend lost his $100,000-a-year Lehman Brothers job tells the tabloid, "He's just not in the mood. He's really depressed. He really loved his job, and now it's gone." Another girlfriend of a "hedge fund honcho" says she's only had sex once "since the economy went soft," tee hee. Dr. Ruth Westheimer chimes in too, noting that "a man's sexual apparatus is very delicate. If something is wrong, it is very difficult for men to get or maintain an erection." These frustrated ladies obviously need to seek satisfaction beyond the financial industry: online media, for instance, is still rock solid! more ›

Heterosexual men who love their cats get the NY Times Styles section treatment, as writer Abby Ellin finds more dudes "are posting photographs and videos of their little buddies on YouTube and on Web sites like menandcats.com, and Twittering about them to anyone who will listen." more ›

While Forbes named NYC as one of the top singles cities in America last year, it turns out the reason why there are so many singles here is because women outnumber men by roughly 210,000. Things are not looking good, ladies. Apparently we are living in the worst "mating market" in the country! more ›
