There’s a slow-growing trend for men to take their spouses’ last names.
Douglas County Clerk Tom Cavanaugh said “Men who think about it are quickly discouraged either by the process or the public reaction.”
That reaction is the product of our roots as a patriarchal society and several hundred years of history, said Cleveland Evans, a member of the American Name Society and a psychology professor at Bellevue University.
No local, state or national agency records the instances, but anecdotal evidence nationwide indicates it’s more common, said Mark Rosenbaum, a lawyer and University of Michigan professor of law.
Me thinks this has little to do with romance or being submissive, instead it’s just men taking a female’s name that’s shorter and easier to spell than your own. Shit. I know that’s the reason I wanna get married. My last name’s kinda weird. Explains a lot, I’m sure.

… for the showers. I bet this sign has made people masturbate more. Second, I’ve never understood the whole masturbation in the shower fetish. I don’t need any water, tub or shower head to get off. Third, do semen related costs really cost the school thousands every year? How many of these incidents take place at frat houses? Sounds like they desperately need new pipes, because we all know masturbation in college won’t cum to an end any time soon.
If I were a dude I think I would enjoy jacking in my room, though, then aiming my juice at a dart board. Heh. If I had a penis I would be so wreckless.
Guys with higher testosterone levels along with manly faces are more likely to take the biggest financial risks, suggests a new study.
“Although our findings do not address causality, we believe that testosterone may influence how individuals make risky financial decisions,” said researcher Coren Apicella, an anthropologist at Harvard University.
Previous studies have shown that on average, men are more likely than women to take risks, and the researchers theorized that these differences could be explained by the role of testosterone.
A recent study also showed that stock market traders made more money on days when their testosterone levels were highest.
The researchers also scored players on facial masculinity.
Those who had the manliest faces invested 6 percent more than their average-face counterparts. Basically, if the risk does pay off financially, it could also pay off with the ladies.
She added, “This is because women value wealth more than men when choosing for a mate.”
Take this bullshiz with a big grain of wtf. First of all, only 100 Harvard students, ages 18 - 23, were tested. Of course they’re gonna be more reckless with their money, there’s a hell of a lot more where that came from!
And second, wtf is the last part about women valuing money in a mate more than men? Gold-digging bitch, please! There’s a whole new breed of dead beat losers and cougar-loving freeloaders out there these days, too. Better recognize. - Am I stuck in the 90s?! When did people say that, late 90s, early 21st century? Who cares, it’s Friday.
By taking their wives’ last names.
