A scientist in London may have found the key to happiness for women… but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Behavioural sciences professor Paul Dolan, who is based in London School of Economics and is a self-proclaimed ‘happiness expert’ has revealed that after much research, it was found that the happiest group of people in the world are single women who do not have children.

His research investigated humankind’s happiness and the consequences related to the state of mind, going on to highlight that despite this revelation, many woman said they would be happier when their partners are present.

Dolan also argued that, despite the apparent benefits of a single, childless lifestyle – society’s current narrative of children and marriage as ‘signs of success’ meant that the stigma could lead to some individuals being unhappy.

The chunky foam-based shoe is equally stylish as it is sustainable, made from a complex recycling system where the unused sex toys were ground into millimeter-sized cubes, mixed with bleach then molded into the classy silhouette seen on the brand’s social media pages.

Costing a retail price of around $130, Rose in Good Faith boss David Teitelbaum highlighted how the shoe tells a story and inspires a new perspective on up-cycling while Doc Johnson COO argued that the pair promotes sexy positivity through fashion and innovation.
