    Why are more and more people paying to find love?
    Jan 27 2025
    According to a 2019 report from eharmony, a third of relationships had started online between 2015 and 2019, compared to just 19% in the preceding decade. The so-called “Future of Dating” also suggested that by the year, more than half of relationships will have begun online. Whether you're seeking a serious relationship or just a casual fling, there's something out there for everyone. As with any constantly evolving market, dating apps have turned into a real business, and the quest for love can come with a hefty price tag. In September 2023, Tinder introduced a new invite-only service called Tinder Select, and brace yourself – it costs £4925 per year. But why pay, you might wonder? And can you still use these apps for free? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Why has astrology come back into fashion?

  • Where does our phobia of clowns come from?

    Where does our phobia of clowns come from?
    Jan 27 2025
    Clowns are supposed to make you laugh, but often can make you shudder. What is supposed to be a figure of fun is for many the stuff of nightmares. Coulrophobia —the irrational fear of clowns that’s surprisingly common. This has been reinforced by popular culture, and many horror film-makers know that a scary clown is the perfect recipe for thrills, resulting in them becoming an icon of terror. A study published in Frontiers in Psychology in February 2023 surveyed 900 individuals, revealing that 53% experienced clown-related fear. Participants pinpointed clown makeup as the primary source of discomfort, with its distortion of human features creating an air of menace. Unable to discern true emotions behind the painted facade, people feel unsettled by the clown’s unpredictable antics. The Science Behind the Fear What exactly is so unnerving about clowns? Are murderous clowns a reality or mere fiction? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: How do I know if I'm addicted to sex?

  • Why do women live longer than men?

    Why do women live longer than men?
    Jan 27 2025
    In the period from 2018 to 2020, the life expectancy at birth for women in the UK was 82.9 years, while it was just 79 for men. That’s according to data from the Office of National Statistics. And that disparity is a common trend across various countries and even among certain other species of mammals, like great apes. There certainly are, and they span both biological and behavioral factors. Dr. Perminder Sachdev is a professor of neuropsychiatry at the University of New South Wales in Australia. Talking to Time.com for an article published on the subject in 2019, he highlighted that men are more likely to take “life-threatening risks” which could lead to them dying, in a fight for example, or a car accident resulting from driving too fast. What kind of differences are we talking about? What about the impact of female hormones? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
