Goddamn you glatt, you genius bastard, I don't know whether to kiss you on the mouth or punch you in the nuts.

And I thought 'shock and awe' posting was a frowned-upon convention which infected the pristine Cellar waters with foul AudioGalaxy pond scum.

you could compromise yourself and kiss him on the nuts.

what? I'm just trying to help.

Glatt, get those nuts out. BigV has spoken and I have no choice but to follow through with this.

My hands are tied!

I mean, wait, when I said my hands are tied that was a total boner. I mean--aww nuts, you dorks are a couple of hard-ons.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing....

What thread would be most suitable for pictures in that headspace?

Sorry to be a stickler, and yes, like a curious intellectual I did go read the article, and I don't disagree with the article, but the OP is misleading to the maximum possible extent.

Without the qualifier: ...this reads like a cross between Cosmopolitan's 'ten ways to please your man' and a suicide note written by Nostradamus on a coke binge.

This study or whatever was the subject of a video or 60 minutes type news piece at least a year ago. It's old stuff. You can even see video of the couples 'talking' and interviews of the guy who predicts outcomes. I believe he's even training people to do this type of thing, to what end, I don't recall. An army of felicity, perhaps?

eta: My bad. 1993

Yeah, the original paper came out in 1992. It's old. Not sure why SciAm is trotting this out again other than that they have some good footage from reality shows on how not to do it.

I just checked out their you tube channel and they have a lot of great clips with more relevant hairstyles and clothing.

There may be a TED talk.

They don't mention the other four things that destroy a marriage:
5) leaving the cap off the toothpaste
6) backseat driving
7) leaving hair in the comb
8) drinking all the coffee

Holy shit. Don't even think about drinking all the coffee, especially if you don't know how that particular machine works to make more.
