The scent of attraction

Have you ever had it where you are instantly attracted to someone? Or you walk by someone on the street and they smell so good, but it’s not cologne or perfume? Well, pheromones are to blame! Almost everyone is under the aromatic influence of bodily chemicals. Although it takes more than smell to make a relationship work, the initial attraction is usually due to our unique fragrances. Our sense of smell brings us memories, helps us have group reactions, and lures us to certain individuals, according to our genetics. The amazing science of pheromones is not yet very advanced, but here are the basics of odor appeal. If you want to know how you can literally sniff your partner out, click through this gallery.

22 Best Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds

These pups are low maintenance in the shedding department. If you're craving a cuddle with an adorable and furry friend but have allergies to pet dander, then a hypoallergenic dog might just be the answer to all your needs. Dogs that are hypoallergenic can work great for people with allergies because they don’t shed as much as other breeds do. That means there's not as much dander coming off their coats and sticking to your upholstery. While no dog is truly hypoallergenic, there's a threshold at which people with allergies tend to react to the dander (which is made up of dead skin cells) or saliva that causes sufferers to feel itchy, sneezy or short of breath. As an added bonus, dogs that shed less can help cut down on cleaning up all of that stubborn hair around the house. The experts at the American Kennel Club have pinpointed a whole array of dogs with lots of love to give, with less shedded fur to collect. From small dogs (like Bichons and Yorkies) to medium-sized pooches (like Poodles and Portuguese Water Dogs) to larger pups (consider the Giant Schnauzer), you’ll find your new best friend among these hypoallergenic dogs that don’t shed, and also happen to make great family pets. And when you welcome your pup to its new fur-ever home, check out these fun dog toys to help show them just how much they're loved.

These are the most common ways to find a partner

“How did you meet?” The familiar question has historically been answered with romantic or quirky tales of mutual friends and chance encounters, all of which compel a chorus of oohs and aws. But, in recent times, those tales have taken a drastic turn—whether for better or worse remains unclear. For a very long time, likely since the very beginning of time, close friends and family have been the most prominent way to establish new connections with other people. From the end of World War II until 2013, most heterosexual Americans were still meeting their romantic partners through friends, family, school, work, and so forth. It seems, however, that those networks are becoming increasingly more irrelevant. According to a dataset analysis, the internet may have largely replaced friends and family as a way for couples to meet. Online dating is revolutionizing romance. We’ve looked extensively at how technology has changed the way we interact with others, but not as much at how it changes who we interact with. Particularly in the realm of romantic relationships, there’s a notable shift happening that affects many parts of dating. Check out this gallery to see how couples are meeting, and why meeting on the internet is so appealing.

The surprising history of tartan

Worn by royalty and punks alike, tartan has always evoked both the regimented traditional and the blatantly subversive throughout its history. At times endorsing true Scottish identity and often ridiculing it through contradictions like chic Chanel dresses and sculptural Donald Judd prints. Tartan’s fascinating story is as rich and complex as the textile itself, but the cloth has proved surprisingly versatile to the changing winds of politics and fashion trends, uniforms and tourist trinkets, and catwalks and clans.
