Marsaxlokk community assemble canvas in support of Fr. Luke Seguna

A canvas has been erected in Marsaxlokk, aiming to show the communal support to parish priest Luke Seguna. 

Seguna is currently undergoing trial in court for allegedly misappropriating around €500,000 by 150 parishioners over a decade. €148,000 of the funds were reportedly spent on pornographic websites. 

However, as many still await further court sittings, many from the Marsaxlokk community hung a banner at around a visible dock area saying: ‘All of Marsaxlokk is behind you. Courage Fr. Luke.’ 

The 39-year-old priest is currently at the fore of a controversial court case as various people take a multitude of opinions on the issue. Many have, possibly prematurely, condemned the priest for his actions whilst others seek to highlight the good he has done.

Men with better chances if they have a dog in their dating profile photo

Men with better chances if they have a dog in their dating profile photo
Aug 22 2022 Share

A new study has revealed that men who include a cute canine in their pictures of online dating apps are perceived as more attractive by potential matches. 

Researchers at the University of Jaen in Spain collected data from 300 female university students. They found that women feel at ease with men with dogs in photos. 

However, there is a bit of a catch. Not just any furry friend will do it as the size of the animal also made a difference when swiping right or left. 

Men with smaller dogs were perceived to be less threatening and intimidating. One of the researchers said that the study shows how small sized dogs prompts more positive emotional reactivity and higher levels of safety. 

And yet, many men have already embraced this so much so that the term ‘dog fishing’ has emerged in recent years. This refers to guys on dating apps trying to lure in more matches with adorable dogs in their snaps. 

Some guys have also been known to ‘borrow’ other people’s dogs. A way around this, as touted by women who see through the mirage, is to ask about the name and age. This will usually prompt guys to reveal that it is not their dog.
