Stop the undercutting! Stop the abuse! . . .') Brit Girls Prefer Average Boys British women looking for love fancy 'Mr Average' men in middle-ranking jobs more than high fliers, according to a new study of female students in Lancashire. Northern England. Lead researcher Simon Chu said women suspect 'too good to be true' high status men are more likely to stray, with teachers and travel agents offering more reliable prospects. "High socio-economic status in males can be subtly counter-productive in terms of attractiveness as a long-term partner," he told the BBC. "We suggest that females see physically attractive, high status males as being more likely to pursue a mating strategy rather than a parenting strategy." The study results were published as acclaimed US rave historian Barbara Ehrenreich published an angry feature on the pressures afflicting middle management under America's increasingly compulsory 'be positive' culture, which also provided clues as to why women might shun bosses. "Smiles, at least in human society, are gestures of submission, and routinely demanded of women as a token of subordinate status. The happy slave smiles; the well-trained 'lady' smiles," she wrote. "Now even the male white collar striver has to keep his lips pulled back in an expression of eager compliance. Only the top guys get to snarl and snap their way through the day," she added.

In more relationship news, UK psychotherapist Brett Kahr unveiled the results of his study of 19,000 Brits' secret sexual fantasies (the British Sexual Fantasy Research Project) and said almost everybody regularly visualizes secret sex fantasies, almost always involving lovers other than their partners. "Many fantasies contain strong imagery of sadism, masochism and other forms of harm," Dr Kahr added, "If any of us could manage to put many of our more aggressive fantasies into practice, we would end up in prison." - http://www.hermes-press.com/egomania.htm ('The insidious aspect of egomania is its ability to take over the mind and soul of its victims, so that instead of seeing egomania as a disease, we are made to see it as the height of human reason (pursuing our self-interest) and the purpose of human existence (getting ahead) . . .') - http://www.angelfire.com/ego/personality/profile_test.html (Ego test) - http://www.schizophrenia.com/sztest/survey.php (Psychosis test) 'So What?' Drugs 'Part of Growing Up' Conservative leader David Cameron brushed off claims that he'd been punished for smoking cannabis while at Eton this week, insisting childhood indiscretions for politicians should be disregarded. "Like many people I did things when I was young that I should not have done, and that I regret,' he told reporters, "But I do believe politicians are entitled to a past that is private." Surprisingly, Labour Home Secretary John Reid defended his rival when appearing on a BBC TV show, scoffing "I think it was Andy Warhol who said most statements could be answered with the question 'so what?' I think this is one of those 'so-what' moments." Mr Cameron's refusal to come clean contrasted markedly with the stance taken by hotly tipped US presidential contender Barack Obama, who first discussed his teenage drug use in his 1995 autobiography 'Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance'. "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow (cocaine) when you could afford it. Not smack (heroin), though," he confessed when recalling his High School years. "Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man . . . I got high 'to" push questions of who I was out of my mind." (Washington Post) Mr Obama's frank admissions were recycled by most of America's mainstream media in the last year as his meteoric rise up the US political hierarchy continued, though he remains supremely confident telling a group of prominent editors last month '"When I was a kid, I inhaled." (New York Times). His preferences for pot and coke also match the present tastes of numerous serving London police officers, the Telegraph reported this week, following the inadvertent publication of an internal police report on corruption. The Met police's Strategic Intelligence Assessment briefly appeared on the Metropolitan Police Authority's website and said 'a growing number of officers and staff are taking drugs off duty.' "Drug and alcohol abuse by Met employees remains a significant threat to public confidence," the report revealed, "Intelligence shows misuse of controlled substances by staff has risen slightly, with cocaine and cannabis the drugs of choice." - http://www.nearlygood.com/game/detroitcops.html (Eddie Murphy cop game) - http://www.2flashgames.com/f/f-788.htm (Graverobber game) - http://www.2flashgames.com/f/f-522.htm (Jewel thief game) What's the Best Way to Make a Prayer Work? "Prayer is something that happens spontaneously of itself when you're either meditative or freaked out enough - when you're freaked out, you pray for salvation and deliverance, one way or another - and generally your prayers are answered, as your continued presence here proves. If you're in a meditative state, whether you're sitting still, or are on a dance floor or anywhere else for that matter - the prayerful state might descend on you of itself and you start to hear the voice of the presence you'd normally pray to, talking softly to you. Men's BodyShavers Add An Extra Inch Giant electronic conglomerate Philips Norelco have launched a new body shaver product for men which promises to add 'an extra optical inch' for men who use it for shaving their crotch. Philips suggest 'women prefer a well groomed man' on the Bodygroom's website ShaveEverywhere.com and predict women will be so impressed with 'a new you in the bedroom' that they'll 'eat yoghurt off your ***". "Let me tell you, this whole issue used to make me quite uncomfortable," an actor on the site admits, "But now, with a hair-free back, well-groomed shoulders and an extra optical inch on my c -- , let's just say life has gotten pretty darn cozy," he adds. The product received enthusiastic backing from San Francisco Chronicle writer Mark Morford who suggested it's already huge commercial success means American men are accepting that 'the general trimming of body hair isn't just for transvestites and gay porn stars and metrosexual writers anymore.' "In other words, caring about this sort of thing doesn't make you gay, or stupid, or emasculated. It just makes you hot," he added, "And besides, who wouldn't want the pleasure of an extra optical inch?" In more underwear news, Newsweek reported that sales of men's knickers climbed 14 percent to $3.6 billion last year, as more and more men buy designer pants such as C-in2's package enhancing wonderbra style briefs the Sling. "We have a customer from Wall Street that swears by our thong because he doesn't want a visible panty line," C-In-2 chief Jason Zambuto told Newsweek. At such times, when you can hear the voice talking, be silent and listen - when it's said what it has to say, you can then ask it to heal someone or help someone else, and even ask for something you want to occur in your own life - as long as it's something for the highest good and by the free will of everyone involved. If it is, you can pretty much be sure it will happen, as will the positive healing effects of your prayers for others' wellbeing. As for formalising your prayers into any particular shape, style or order, that's entirely up to you to make up as you go along. The words are merely envelopes for the sentiments - as long as your heart's true prayer is being conveyed, however clumsily, it will reach its source." - http://shaveeverywhere.com (SAFE for Work) - http://www.topdrawers.com/male-enhancer-underwear.html (Male enhancer underwear, maybe NSFW) - http://www.hunkwear.com/mens_thongs_g-strings.php (Thongs, maybe NSFW)) - http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/p2/program/index.asp?ProgramID=2620 (A Guy CalledGerald Live in Sweden) - http://hsjd.tripod.com/box061.htm (Bernard Sumner on Mark Reeder's role in New Order: 'I was really depressed after Ian (Curtis) died, very unhappy and disillusioned.
