This is closely connected to this hooking up culture, which is relatively modern. For example, a lot of women try to persuade themselves that that’s what they want and then persuade men that that’s what they want. You can think you are happy with getting into something short term, but the neurotransmitters in the brain make you become emotionally connected.” In addition, the media does not help us out at all. They portray women and men unrealistically, and that is bound to cause problems. “Even though the media loves to adver- tise the sex differences, when it comes love, sex and dating, there are a lot more commonalities between men and women than there are differences,” said Kirsner. “In my class, I like to illustrate it with overlapping bell curves that show that the distributions of men’s and women’s desires mostly over- lap. It is true that men on average would like to have more sex partners than women, but the distribution of number of partners desired in men versus women overlaps quite sub- stantially. This means that most men and women can find people whose desires are closely related to their own. Saying that men and women are different is what sells newspapers and magazines. Saying that they are relatively similar would simply not sell.” Take this Valentine’s Day to consider what you really want.Be honest with your crushes, and try to keep your neu- rotransmitters firing at a reasonable rate.

Recently, Vera went a per- fect 4-0 in the Owls’ spring season opening doubleheader and was the first-ever KSU women’s tennis player to be named the Atlantic Sun Conference’s Player of the Week. “This is a well-deserved recognition,” said KSU Director of Tennis Operations and Assistant Coach TT.J. Greggs on the award. “Vera debuted at No. 1 as a 16-year-old freshman and dominated a pair of veteran players. It was impressive.” The Owls’ young Russian was nearly flawless on her first day of dual match competition, win- ning both of her singles matches at the No. 1 spot in straight sets and combining with fellow freshman Alena Sergeychik to earn the Owls’ lone doubles point against Georgia Southern. Vera got out to a quick and dominant start in the morning match against Savannah State, team- ing with Lindsay Dillon at No. 2 doubles for an 8-0 win over the Tigers’ Shawannda McClain and Para Malden. She kept her stat sheet unblemished in singles, blanking Angela Palmer 6-0, 6-0 at the top spot to lead the Owls to their third-straight sweep of Savannah State. Teaming with Sergeychik in the afternoon match against GSU, she won a pivotal match, 8-5, over the Eagles’ veteran duo of Ali Beavers and Shea Huxtable at No. 3 doubles to put KSU in contention to take the early lead. In the singles competition, she pulled the two schools even at 2-2 with a beau- tifully executed 6-3, 6-2 victory over GSU junior Kristi Kegerreis.
