                <title>Women prefer muscular men for flings, humour for marriage: Study</title>

<p>The findings, published in Personal Relationships, showed that affiliative, or benevolent, humour is a more attractive trait for success at long-term relationships</p>
<p>"Our data indicate that strength and humour are independent in their influence on women's preferences, though we continue to show that women prioritise men's strength in short-term relationships and affiliative humour in long-term contexts," said Mitch Brown, psychology instructor in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas in the US.</p>
<p>“These data provide evidence for how women navigate mating markets through various fitness cues.” </p>
<p>The research focuses on the use of evolutionary perspectives in understanding motives that shape social perceptions and interpersonal preferences. It shows how people prioritise physical features and behaviours in determining preferences for short-term and long-term mates. </p>
<p>For the study, sampled the preferences of 394 women, identifying as either heterosexual or bisexual, at a large public university. </p>
<p>With a mean age of 19 years, 251 participants identified as single and 143 as partnered. </p>
<p>Historically, reproductive success has been dependent on the identification of a mate with physical and psychological traits that satisfy relevant reproductive goals. </p>
<p>The ideal has been to select a mate who is both physically attractive and possesses positive behavioural attributes. However, the improbability of finding this mate has necessitated prioritisation of one set of traits over another. </p>
<p>The researchers sought to determine how women evaluate the desirability of strong men employing affiliative and aggressive humour across short-term and long-term contexts. </p>
<p>Affiliative humour was defined as benevolent, a type of humour that attempts to connect or associate rather than offend or alienate. This latter type of humour, aggressive, was emphatically undesirable for women in long-term contexts. </p>
<p>The researchers found no interactive effects between physical strength and humour. In other words, strength and humour operated independently in their influence on women's preferences. </p>
<p>Overall, Brown said, their results indicated that women’s choices in a male partner are varied and “frequently involve evaluating the costs and benefits of various constellations of traits.” </p>]]></content:encoded>

In the latest one, a young South Korean woman, Kim Boh-nee, travelled across continents to meet her beloved, Sukhjeet Singh, in Shahjahanpur. </p>
<p>Their love story began two years ago in a coffee shop in South Korea. After spending six years as an employee at the coffee shop, Singh's life intertwined with Kim's when she joined the same cafe as a billing counter attendant. </p>
<p>Their friendship, over time, developed into a love story. </p>
<p>Singh had to return to India for a six-month period. </p>
<p>Overwhelmed by the separation, Kim reached Delhi, then Shahjahanpur, with the support of a friend and reunited with Singh. </p>
<p>The emotional reunion at Singh's home filled their families with happiness. </p>
<p>As per news reports, the couple recently embraced Sikh traditions in a wedding ceremony at a gurdwara, solidifying their commitment. </p>
<p>Sukhjeet and Kim were married at a local gurdwara in Shahjahanpur. </p>
<p>Singh has revealed his intentions to establish a life with Kim in South Korea. </p>
<p>Currently in India on a three-month tourist visa, Kim's stay has spanned a month. </p>
<p>She is set to return to South Korea in the coming weeks, while Sukhjeet Singh has plans to follow her after a three-month interval. </p>
<p>Both families are celebrating this union, finding joy in the blend of South Korean and Indian cultures. </p>
<p>This international tale of love comes soon after two recent incidents that show that love has no boundaries. </p>
<p>First, a married Indian woman, Anju, travelled to Pakistan to meet her friends who she befriended and fell in love with on Facebook. Both are married now. </p>
<p>In the second case, Seema Haider, from Pakistan came to India to live with her partner Sachin after they met on the gaming platform PuBG. </p>

<p>This judgement was delivered by a bench of Jutice R.K. Pattanaik on July 3, while hearing a petition challenging the legality of criminal proceedings initiated against a man in a case where a relationship had gone sour after seven years.</p>
<p>The court observed that in case that a relationship goes sour and a person decides not to marry his partner, the sexual intimacy that preceded should not always be considered as rape.</p>
<p>Terming the act as dissimilar to having sex under the false promise of marriage, Justice Pattanaik said: "There is a subtle difference between breach of promise, which is made in good faith but subsequently could not be fulfilled, and a false promise to marriage. In the former case, for any such sexual intimacy, an offence under Section 376 IPC (sexual assault) is not made out, whereas, in the latter, it is, since the same is based on the premise that the promise to marriage was false or fake from the very beginning, which is given on the understanding by the accused that it would be broken finally."</p>
<p>The court, considering the complaint and other materials, said that is of the view that the entire story unfolded revealed the existence of friendship and thereafter, a relationship which was developed under different circumstances.</p>
<p>During the initial period, the petitioner was inclined to marry the other party, to which she agreed later and even a settlement was reached on February 4, 2021. Therefore, it may be said that a promise by the petitioner was broken though he had the initial interest and inclination to marry the woman, who, for certain reasons, was not ready for it at that point in time, the judge observed.</p>
<p>It is alleged that under threat or compulsion, the other party agreed for the marriage after she was blackmailed by the petitioner. Interestingly, the woman agreed later and even entered into a written agreement with the petitioner in 2021. It indicates that the parties had a difficult time in dealing with each other and managing their relationship which finally worsened leading to separation.</p>
<p>“From the conduct of both the parties as made to suggest considering the complaint and pleadings, it would not be just and proper to allege sexual mischief against the petitioner, who for reasons unknown declined to marry opposite party No.2,” the court said in its judgment.</p>
<p>Justice Pattanaik noticed that the parties are educated and well placed and were quite aware of the consequences and still engaged themselves in a relationship which remotely appear to be one-sided and having understood the kind of relationship it was developed and had become later on.</p>
<p>Keeping in view the settled position of law, the HC reached at a conclusion that it would not be justified to allege rape against the petitioner. However, so far as other allegations are concerned, it should be left open for enquiry and investigation, it said.</p>
<p>The court has quashed the charge under Section 376 (sexual assault) of IPC pending against the petitioner in this case.</p>

They hold a special place in our hearts, doing everything from satisfying our never-ending demands to always guarding us. Dads are without a doubt our heroes! Dads are without a doubt our real heroes! However, they have complex emotions hidden beneath their tough appearance, and they need your support just as much as you do. Building a deeper relationship with your dad takes time and effort; it doesn't happen overnight.</p>
<p>To connect with your father on a much deeper level, ShareChat creator Avik Manna is here with five effective tips which you must follow. So this Father's Day, why not devote some time to hear them, creating fun memories and celebrating their unconditional love!</p>
<p>Listen first, then react</p>
<p>After you've listened and understood, speak up! Effective communication is the cornerstone of any relationship. Engage in deep dialogue with your father, pay close attention to his ideas and beliefs, and respectfully voice your own. Let him know you are genuinely interested in his thoughts and experiences by demonstrating your interest. You may close the gap and deepen your relationship by encouraging honest and open conversation.</p>
<p>Dads too need our backs!</p>
<p>Dads always have our backs and we need to acknowledge and appreciate their efforts every now and then. Make a conscious effort to express your respect and show gratitude for his guidance, sacrifices, and support throughout your life. Simple gestures like saying "thank you" or "I love you" can go a long way in nurturing a loving connection.</p>
<p>Create Ever-Lasting Memories Together</p>
<p>Remember that your dad loves you, and he wants the best for you. So, celebrate your dad and make them feel valued every day! Doing shared activities together can be an excellent way to deepen your bond with your father. Find common interests that you both enjoy, such as playing sports, cooking, fishing, or watching movies. By spending quality time together, you will create good memories and there lies an opportunity to learn from each other, have fun, and grow closer than ever.</p>
<p>Patience is the key</p>
<p>There may be misunderstandings or arguments because no relationship is flawless. Develop patience with your father and make an effort to comprehend his viewpoints. Spend some time listening to him out without passing judgement or making snap decisions. Address any issues that might come up and say that you also deserve to be understood. Accept your flaws and seize the chance to improve and learn from one another.</p>
<p>Show your support, Be Your Dad's Biggest Cheerleader!</p>

But are they solely accountable for the societal shift? The answer has not yet been chosen. Despite the fact that dating apps can help people connect, the commitment, communication, and understanding between the parties involved still determine whether a relationship will succeed or fail. It's crucial to understand that these tools don't define love; they merely assist people in finding it.</p>
<p>As the world becomes more complicated, people are being drawn to the digital world more and more. Everything has altered since the advent of digital technology, from our social networks to our purchasing practises. The dating scene has also changed as a result of this transition, for better or worse. Dating apps have facilitated a transformation in the way that individuals view relationships by allowing them to think about their options outside of the traditional constraints of monogamy. Do they, however, share any responsibility for the rise in adultery?</p>
<p><strong>The elephant in the room</strong></p>
<p>Cheating was widespread long before adulterous dating apps ever existed. The reasons have always been varied and very individualised: some people may just hunger for excitement and novelty, while others may feel overlooked in their existing relationship and seek fulfilment elsewhere.</p>
<p>In order to comprehend how attitudes towards marriage, adultery, and other conventional socio-cultural norms are evolving in India, Gleeden, the most used discreet dating app in india with over 2 million Indian subscribers, undertook a thorough study in collaboration with IPSOS.</p>
<p>A sample of 1,503 married Indians between the ages of 25 and 50 who lived in 12 Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities made up the research's sample. According to the survey, 82 per cent of respondents believe it is possible to be true to one person for the rest of one's life, while 44 per cent believe it is feasible to be in love with two people at once. It's interesting to note that 55 per cent of respondents want to have sex with someone other than their spouse, but 37 per cent of individuals believe it is feasible to cheat on someone while still loving them.</p>
<p>The research claims that 67 per cent of respondents stated their relationships made them feel "emotionally very happy", and 78 per cent of them claimed to have sex with their partners at least once a week. But even though 41 per cent of the respondents reported having frequent sex with their spouses, they were found to be dissatisfied.</p>
<p><strong>A craving of instant gratification</strong></p>
<p>Online dating is the most typical way for an extramarital affair to begin. They offer a way to surreptitiously meet new people without worrying about the social repercussions of going to a bar or club. Furthermore, a number of dating apps provide users the choice to keep their profiles invisible to their spouses, making it easier for them to hide their adulterous encounters. And given that more individuals are using dating apps every day, it's simple to see how they might be affecting the culture's propensity for adultery.</p>
<p>Overall, 57 per cent of respondents have already had an extramarital affair; the statistics for men and women are nearly similar (53 per cent men and 59 per cent women), demonstrating for all time that women commit extramarital affairs equally as frequently as men. Most of them cheated on partners who they had previously known from their social networks. Parties and other private gatherings are where infidelity occurs most frequently in real life, although hooking up also frequently takes place on social media and through dating apps.</p>
<p>According to the study's findings, over 60 per cent of Indians are bravely attempting unorthodox relationships, shattering the status quo in traditional dating. Surprisingly, they regard having a side bae and fantasising about other people as no-nos when it comes to fidelity. Indians are eager to experiment with open partnerships, rewarding sugar babies/daddies, and getting kinky with some BDSM activity, despite the fact that threesomes don't appear to capture their attention. Additionally, an unexpected 22 per cent of respondents have already gotten on the non-monogamous relationship bandwagon. It appears that India is spiking the dating scene!</p>
<p>Extramarital dating and dating apps have caused a cultural shift in relationships that has allowed people to consider options other than monogamy. These applications allow people a place to explore their needs and wants without worrying about being criticised, even though infidelity may still be widespread. They are ushering in a new era of changing relationships that will let people form more real and fulfilling bonds.</p>]]></content:encoded>

The court made this statement while hearing the bail plea of Sanjay Malik, also known as Sant Sevak Das, who is accused of raping a Czech national in October 2019 in a Delhi hostel before having physical relations with her on two more occasions in 2020.</p>
<p>The prosecution accused Malik of posing as a "spiritual guru" who could assist the Czech national with the funeral rites of her deceased spouse, who passed away on August 8, 2019. The woman, who was a foreign national and unfamiliar with Hindu rites, was dependent on the accused to help her complete the final rites and ceremonies of her husband.</p>
<p>The court noted that the woman's travel to different places to carry out the final rites happened over a period of almost four months, and it was not specifically alleged that Malik held the woman hostage or forced her to travel with him. However, the court declared that this alone would not be determinative of the state of the prosecutrix's mind to say that the alleged sexual liaisons were consensual.</p>
<p>The court further stated that although the first instance of physical contact was not alleged to be rape, the woman's silence over that act could not be interpreted as approval for more violent sexual contact in the future. Justice Bhambhani observed that the allegations revealed deception and guile on the part of Malik in pretending to be a "holy man" assisting a foreign national with reverent post-death ceremonies for her husband. This aspect of the case was particularly concerning.</p>
<p>Therefore, the Delhi High Court dismissed the bail plea and granted the liberty to apply afresh for the same relief before the trial court once the deposition of all prosecution witnesses is complete.</p>

With this evolving backdrop, dating platform Tinder launches its first-ever global brand campaign, "It Starts With a SwipeTM" - a celebration of modern dating milestones and a romantically stylised reflection of the dating experience today.</p>
<p>"Tinder daters have changed the state-of-the-date by tossing out traditional views and are embracing experiences on their own terms, not to mention a whole new vocabulary," said Melissa Hobley, Tinder Global Chief Marketing Officer. "Defined as a one-night stand ten years ago, only 25 percent of young daters believe that a hookup is defined the same way today.</p>
<p>Hook-ups, An Outdated Concept For Daters In 2023</p>
<p>Young adults today are embracing new experiences, connections, and self-discovery. They're all about vibing, meeting up, situationship. The platform continues to reignite the imagination of daters on how exciting it can be to take a chance on someone or something new. For 56 per cent of young daters, the term "hook up" is outdated or means something different to them than it does for older generations. "Hooking up", however, young singles define it, is simply part of the dating process, and a way to explore a connection without the pressures of labels, not something to be ashamed or secretive about.</p>
<p>Young Singles Are Redefining Dating Possibilities In Diverse And Inclusive Ways</p>
<p>The platform continues to be the first stepping stone in the dating journey and is the most-downloaded app by 18-year-olds, with the majority of members aged between 18-25. LGBTQIA+ members are now the fastest growing group, and members aged 18-25 that identify as LGBTQIA+ have more than doubled in the last 2 years. In fact, 33 per cent agree that their sexuality is more fluid and 29 per cent say their gender identity has become more fluid in the past 3 years.</p>
<p>For a Generation That Wants More</p>
<p>It also revealed that the top three things 18-25-year-old singles are looking for right now are companionship, friendship, or a situationship. 84 per cent of people polled said they're hopeful and optimistic when it comes to dating and relationships, showing an openness to possibilities that come from making new connections. Self-love and fulfillment are also growing considerations among young singles, with 80 percent of 18-25-year-olds agreeing that their own self-care is their top priority when dating and 79 percent wanting prospective partners to do the same.</p>
<p>Paul Brunson, Tinder's Expert in Relationship Insights said, "Meeting someone new is always exciting. What's interesting for me is how adeptly young daters are making way for a low-pressure, no stereotypes, zero-labels approach that opens them up to new types of relationships. Tinder has the world's largest pool of daters, and these daters are embracing authenticity. It's refreshing that singles today value strong friendships just as much as romantic relationships - the hangup on hookups are over because this new generation has fundamentally redefined and re-owned its'</p>
