Most people can tell if you’re rich by looking at your face

     A new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology posits there's a good chance you can tell if someone is rich or poor just by looking at them.

Why some people are bad at committing to relationships

    When you are dating unsuccessfully it can feel like you're repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Humans are creatures of habit, and out of a subconscious desire to re-live and correct the issues from our past, we may seek out the same sort of partners and find ourselves in a destructive cycle. Some people may do this because they have an unhealthy attachment style, which is the way they form bonds and connect to others. One style is called "avoidant attachment," according to psychotherapist Allison Abrams. She told Business Insider that our experiences in childhood shape our style of attachment, which then becomes the template for how we behave in future relationships. "Insecure attachment styles, such as avoidant attachment, usually stem from some sort...
