Facebook/LuLaRoe

Women are going nuts over LuLaRoe, a clothing brand that has catapulted from near obscurity to cult status in the past couple of years.

Take a look at a bunch of women's OkCupid profiles and you'll be hard pressed to find one that says, "I'm looking for a guy who makes me laugh, loves trying new foods, and — oh! knows how to spin a mean yarn."

And yet new research suggests that storytelling prowess is a desirable quality in a guy — possibly because it signals that they're high-status. Men, on the other hand, don't seem to be fazed by women's ability to tell a good tale. Читать дальше...

High school can be either the best time or the worst time in your life. Sometimes it can be both. Either way, movies will help you get through it.

Some movies set in high school explore social hierarchies. Others can feel like political thrillers. Читать дальше...
