Two recent studies from two different countries suggest that women are more attracted to men when they’re holding a guitar. I, for one, do not discriminate, and if the man is, say, Ryan Gosling, I will be attracted to him whether he’s holding a guitar, a ukelele, or my gaze from across a crowded subway platform (What? Crazier things have happened! Drew would understand).
A study in France published just this week featured a 20-year-old man “previously evaluated as having a high level of physical attractiveness” who approached 300 women aged 18-22 in a French urban shopping district one Saturday afternoon. He introduced himself, told each woman he thought she was pretty, and then asked for her phone number.

Jackie Samuel, a 29-year-old single mother and college student in Rochester, New York, has discovered an interesting way to make a buck: she charges people to cuddle with her. Yes, she’s a “professional cuddler.” She calls her business “The Snuggery” — I guess “The Cuddle Bunny’ was already taken — and charges strangers $60 an hour to cuddle with her in her home.

And what happens when a client gets a boner?
