SIZE MATTERS
When it comes to online dating, women seem to really care about height -- and income. An economist at Duke University used online dating statistics to determine that in order to compete with taller guys, short men need to earn at least $30,000 more per year to get as many online dating responses as a guy who's got just one inch on them.
No joke -- the study showed a 5-foot-9-inch man needs to make 30 grand more than a 5-foot-10-inch guy to be as successful in the dating pool.

DIET & EXERCISE: Nutrition Labels Helping Fast Food Eaters Cut Calories
As the debate about whether or not nutrition labels at restaurants is helping people get healthier, a new study has shown that the information is at least helping fast food eaters make better choices.
The trick is, of course, that the customers have to actually read the information.
Researchers looking at New York City's fast-food restaurants found only one in six customers actually read them.
But, the customers who do look order something healthier -- choosing items with 100 fewer calories.
The researchers also found that women are more likely to use the information when deciding what to order, as were people in wealthier neighborhoods.
The least likely to look were young people.

BALLOON GOWNS
It's no secret that a wedding gown can cost as much as some people's entire wedding. But, if you're on a budget and willing to stray FAR from the beaten path, there could be a really cool alternative for you ... the balloon gown.
There is a whole movement of quirky women who are trading in the lace and beading for rubber and helium -- and some of the dresses are actually incredible. Don't believe us? There was even a Balloon Fashion Show in Las Vegas, so SOMEBODY thinks this is a good idea!
