Image of Heart Attack. Almost Over, Done. Done

A new study found married men tend to head to the doctor earlier than single men to treat a heart attack.

75% of married men saw a doctor within six hours of the first signs of chest pain. 68% of single men (including divorced) sought the same care.

Researchers credit their wives who insist on a hospital visit.

How To Fight Fair With Your Partner
You're going to argue -- everyone does. So when you do, make it productive, according to this article. Best quote: "...within each fight lies a potential minefield of insensitive comments and dirty tricks. Fights are only productive if done fairly." They've got seven do's and don'ts - here's #1 for each:


  • DO listen to what your partner is saying (If your partner doesn't feel like they're being listened to, they won't listen to you)
  • DON'T mock what your partner says, or how he/she said it (don't listen just to get ammo for a sarcastic comeback -- that's passive aggressive)

Climate Change Hurts Teen Girls Most!
If you're a teenage girl, I'd find a place to hide now. According to this article, teenage girls could face the most harm from climate change. You see, in times of extreme crisis, families tend to pull their daughters out of school and may even sell them as "famine brides." Girls may not be taught survival skills - like swimming or tree-climbing. The study's author calls it a "call to action." This is not from The Onion in case you were wondering.


Women Choose the Internet Over Sex
Men aren't the ones obsessed by technology, it's women! A new survey found women are becoming more passionate about the Internet and tech gadgets. Get this:

  • 54% of women own smartphones compared to 46% of men
  • Women have more friends on social networking sites
  • More women than men (75% to 67%) own a gaming app
  • It doesn't stop with smartphones, either. More women than men own Nintendo Wii systems.
