Hinge Study Provides The Best Opening Lines To Use On Dating Apps

[According] to a recent study conducted by the Hinge dating app, lame opening lines might actually be the cause of one’s uneventful online dating life. To test this theory, the Hinge copywriting team compiled a list of more than 100 opening lines that they considered to be cool and creative and randomly sent them out to 22% of Hinge members. The company’s engineers measured response rates to each message to determine which openers worked best and after 8 million views, they began to notice a trend. According to the survey, men are 98% more likely to respond to private messages with assertive openers… Women, however, are 40% more likely to respond to openers about food.

How to Get Away with Murder Season 2 Episode 1 Recap: A Killer Reveal

WARNING: We are about to spoil the biggest takeaway from  How to Get Away with Murder Season 2 Episode 1 . Here we go: Bonnie did it. She explained how “bad things” happened to her, but how she got over them and Rebecca did not. She also didn’t believe that Rebecca’s wasn’t behind Lila’s death. Watch How to Get Away with Murder Season 2 Episode 1 Online But might that not have even been the biggest season premiere shocker? Annalise spent half the time trying to undermine a rival firm in the defense of a brother and sister accused of killing their adoptive parents. She does, indeed, land the case, which leads to an eerie scene of the girl cooking up an oil twin painting of her dead parents and then – two months later – of gunfire from the estate an a shot of Wes fleeing the scene. And then there’s a shot of Annalise, bleeding on the floor, gasping for breath. There’s your mystery for the next 15 weeks, people. Famke Janssen also stopped by the opener as Eve, a former college friend of Annalise’s. But there’s clearly a great deal of tension in this relationship because the two used to be lovers in law school. Yes, you read that correctly. Annalise then left Eve for Sam. View Slideshow: 18 SHOCKING Shondaland Moments So, why is Eve back in the picture now? Because Annalise had given her number to Nate. Eventually, things get cozy once again between Eve and Annalise (yes, that kind of cozy) and Eve agrees to represent the man Annalise has set up to take the hit for Sam’s murder. At the conclusion of the premiere, Annalise takes her core four students out to an underground nightclub. Is she trying to seduce Wes? To act like a mother figure? Either way, he now believes Rebecca is alive and just choosing to stay away. Also: Connor has moved in with Oliver… we don’t know what Michaela has done with her engagement ring… and Asher is working with the prosecutors to bring Annalise down. Yes, that was a lot to take in for one hour of television. Any time you need a refresher, you can watch How to Get Away with Murder online via our friends at TV Fanatic.

Jessica Simpson’s alleged drinking and pill popping habits are taking a toll on her family, and her husband Eric Johnson is not gonna take it anymore. HE’S threatening to take their kids away if she doesn’t get help. This is not the first report to surface about Jess needing rehab. Heck, it’s not even the first report to surface about Eric Johnson telling Jessica to go to rehab for the sake of her health and their two kids! But in light of the recent video that appeared to show Jessica Simpson drunk on HSN , her husband has gone from concerned to ultimatum mode. “Things reached a climax in early May, when Eric told Jess he has had enough and issued an ultimatum,” a source says of the troubled couple. “He is worried sick that Jess’ conduct is going to start affecting their two children and that their oldest is starting to realize there’s something wrong .” Simpson and Johnson have two children, Maxwell and Ace, and the former NFL star wants her to get help for substance abuse problems immediately. According to the insider, Simpson still relies on the prescription drug Adderall to keep her 5’3″ body at 92 pounds … and chases pills with alcohol. “She can’t be in denial any longer about the toll that her problems have taken on her marriage, her children, and her money,” the source wanted. Maybe if Jessica and mother Tina both get treatment , which has also been rumored, they can get some sort of family or package deal discount?

Florida Man Pulls Out Girlfriend’s Intestines After She Yelled Ex’s Name During Sex

A 24-year-old Florida man is under arrest for murdering his girlfriend after she called out her former husband’s name during sex … twice. Police in Sunrise, Fla., arrested Fidel Lopez and allege that he disemboweled Maria Nemeth, 31, last weekend, pulling her intestines out. According to the report, Lopez admits he turned into a “monster.” Nemeth had called out her ex’s name two times as the couple was allegedly having alcohol-fueled, “rough sex” in their apartment’s closet. Lopez allegedly told the cops that Nemeth was so drunk that she passed out, after which he mutilated her body, to the point of her demise. Fidel later tried waking her up, bringing her into their bathroom to splash water on her face, but she never regained consciousness. At that point, he told detectives he washed the blood from his hands so he could smoke a cigarette out on the apartment’s balcony. He returned to find Nemeth not breathing , and called 911. When cops arrived, they found Lopez laying next to his girlfriend, crying, along with what appeared to be signs of a violent struggle. Detectives also discovered “lots of blood” and “chunks of bloody tissue” strewn throughout the couple’s apartment, the report states. Charged with first-degree murder, he is being held without bail.

Harry Styles Stops Concert to Spy on Sister

Finally, a Harry Styles concert video that does not feature the attractive singer taking a fall . Instead, it features the handsome One Direction artist acting as an adorably protective brother. Playing with his band mates at the Apple Music Festival in London Tuesday night, Styles stopped performing for a short bit in order to check on his sitter, Gemma.  Apparently she wasn't just on a date that evening… she was on a date AT the concert! “I’m sorry if I seem distracted,” Styles said while scanning the audience. “My sister’s here on a date, and I’m trying to keep an eye on it. They’re up there somewhere. Just behave yourself!” HA! How cute and sweet, right? Earlier that same day, Styles and his pals announced that the fifth One Direction studio album will drop on November 13. As fans sadly know, the boys will then take an extended hiatus and be apart for most of 2016.

Anna Duggar: FINALLY Planning to Leave Josh Duggar?!

It’s been three weeks since Josh Duggar entered rehab for sex addiction, and many fans and critics of his famous family are still hoping the former reality star won’t have a wife and children to return to. For a time, it looked as though they might be in luck, as it was widely reported that Anna had left Arkansas to move in with her parents in Florida. Now, however, In Touch is reporting that she made the move only so that her parents could assist her with the raising of her four children (Josh might be in rehab for up to six months ) and not because she has any intention of leaving her husband for good. Anna’s siblings have encouraged her to leave Josh , but her devoutly religious parents reportedly believe that she should stick with the marriage, despite her husband’s many, many shortcomings. “They won’t encourage a separation,” a source close to the family tells Radar Online. “They think she should work it out with him.” At first, many fans assumed that Anna’s decision to move so far from Josh’s rehab facility in Illinois was an indication that she had no intention of visiting her husband, and had finally become fed up with his infidelity. It seems, however, that spousal visits are simply not permitted during the first three months of Josh’s intensive treatment program. “She’s looking forward to seeing him in a month or two when the first spousal visitation is allowed,” says a source. “She just prays that he gets the help he needs so they can go on with their life together, despite everything he did to her.” So it looks like Anna will be standing until her man after all. That is, at least until the next time he messes up. View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled

Kylie Jenner-Tyga Cheating Scandal: Will They Stay Together?

Earlier today, we reported that a rapper named Stitches claimed that he slept with Kylie Jenner while she was dating Tyga . One might think that would create some major problems for the young couple, especially since this is the second Kylie-Tyga cheating scandal in the past three months. (And they haven’t even been dating for a year!) But according to Radar Online, Tyga has no plans to break up with Kylie  for the simple reason that he doesn’t believe any part of Stitches’ story. “Kylie is telling Tyga that it is absolutely untrue,” one insider says of Stitches’ accusations. “Tyga does not buy this guy’s claims for one second. Kylie told him that she has never even met Stitches.” It seems there are a few reasonf that T-Raww has no problem believing Kylizzle: Kylie stood by him when Mia Isabella alleged that he cheated . She refused to believe Tyga had been sexting Blac Chyna , even after Blac posted photographic evidence online. (This guy gets accused of cheating a lot ! Just sayin’.) Stitches claimed the coked-up night of passion happened after Kylie’s 18th birthday, and (creepily) Kylie and Tyga have spent just about every day and night of her adult life together. “Her sisters told her to just get used to this because, when you are as famous as she is, this stuff will happen all the time,” the insider says. We’re guessing they added, “Don’t take it seriously until you find the rapper or athlete you plan on marrying. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner and Tyga Photos: Kyga 4-Eva?

Alicia Garza, co-creator of the organization and director with the National Domestic Workers Alliance, told The Associated Press, “Black Lives Matter as a network will not, does not, has not, ain’t going to endorse any candidates.” “Now if there are activists within the movement that want to do that independently, they should feel free and if that’s what makes sense for their local conditions, that’s fantastic.
