Your Mom Was Right About Dating A Doctor!

Well, this is interesting: 7% of Women Would Want to Date a Gynecologist! Believe it or not, according to a new survey, 7% of single women say they'd love to date a gynecologist . . . because, well, he knows what he's doing! Here are four more results from the survey . . .

1. 85% of people say they find doctors attractive.

2. 45% of men and 35% of women say the whole scrubs and lab coat look is the sexiest uniform of any job.

3. 42% of men have flirted with their doctor while she was treating them.

4. And women are almost three times more likely to say they'd want to date a pediatrician than a gynecologist.

Move Over, Andrew Jackson!


America is the greatest force of capitalism in the world. Our money is our national identity, and the most visible venue we have for commemorating our heroes. Every day, millions get a glimpse of Washington, Jackson, and—if they're lucky—Franklin. That's why Barbara Ortiz Howard, the owner of an exterior restoration company, and Susan Ades Stone, a journalist, are taking a stand. They say it's time for a woman to appear, regularly, in our billfolds. The U.S. dollar is an international currency. People around the world interact with it every day. "We need to show them we have a commitment to women," Ades Stone says. Ortiz Howard and Ades Stone, respectively, are the founder and executive director of Women on $20s, a national campaign seeking to nominate a woman to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 note.
The pair drafted an initial list of 100 women, and with the help of volunteers and historians, selected 15 women as finalists in a national contest to adorn the $20 bill. Around 188,000 people have voted on their website so far. After an initial primary round, three candidates, plus Wilma Mankiller, will be up for a final vote sometime in the next few weeks. (Facing some criticism, they decided that the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation should automatically advance to the final.) The vote is just an online poll. But Ortiz Howard and Ades Stone intend to present the results to the White House. President Obama said last summer he thought putting more women on currency was "a pretty good idea." Candidates include Alice Paul (the suffragist leader), Shirley Chisholm (the first African-American woman elected to Congress), Sojourner Truth (the abolition activist), Margaret Sanger (the founder of Planned Parenthood), and Rosa Parks (needs no introduction). So what do you think, is it time for a woman on our money? And who would you put on the $20.00 bill?

Breakfast with Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake or Bradley Cooper?

Maybe women do prefer a guy with a sense of humor:  A new poll shows that women would rather have breakfast with Jimmy Fallon than Bradley Cooper or Justin Timberlake!
 530 women over the age of 18 were surveyed, and Jimmy got 36% of the vote, Bradley got 26%, and Justin followed with 22%.  It's unclear if these were the only three, or if there were more options provided. We also don't know how the remaining 16% voted. So ladies, would you rather have breakfast with Jimmy, Bradley, Justin . Maybe since you're country fans, I should ask if you'd rather have breakfast with Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton or Kenny Chesney?
