Profile Photo Power

Here at TBW HQ we have to look at a lot of profile pics before approving them. We don’t approve any headless torso shots as women tend to prefer to see a man’s face before assessing if she’s interested – even though he may have fab abs! Also sometimes people upload a photo of them […]

Time for Happiness

Our search to understand what makes humans happy (or happier) goes back centuries.

I'd rather be drinking gin & tonic

Gin is a Tonic

On Monday morning I didn’t worry too much when I couldn’t find the new pot of Clarins face cream. I knew I’d bought it, you don’t forget spending over £60 on something that you hope will do what it says and replenish age weakened skin! I used an alternative and could almost hear my skin […]

The Male Sex and The Absolute Territory

Here at TBW HQ we often used to get men uploading pictures of their headless torsos (and sometimes a few other dismembered body parts, hem hem!) We had to put up a notice next to the photo upload section telling people that this type of photo would not be approved, and now it is a […]

Are you Amortal?

“I can’t quite claim to be a true Boomer (The term Alpha Boomer was recently coined in the US to describe 55- to 64-year-olds, currently the fastest-growing demographic in that nation.) I was born in 1967 – says Laura Tennant in a recent article in the Independent, but with 50 edging ever closer, I’m fascinated […]

Music of the Brain

In ancient Greek mythology, sleep was represented as a teenager who softly ran across the Earth to give men and women rest for body and spirit, placing a poppy on the left hand side and a bowl with its juice on the right. Looking at it, sleep should be a moment of calm, a detachment […]
