From something to snuggle up to at night to proof that he knows how to enjoy himself – here are 11 reasons why cuddly men make the best boyfriends.

After an elective mastectomy, woman decides to ditch her job and travel where her followers take her
After undergoing an elective double mastectomy last year, Claira Hermet decided life was too short. She ditched the day job and went travelling round the world.
And, to add a little extra adventure, she’s getting her blog followers to suggest where she goes next.
Former BBC radio and TV presenter, Claira had an elective double mastectomy in early 2015, at the age of just 28.
She had already lost her mum to breast cancer when she was nine-years-old and then her sister, Emily, succumbed to the disease four years ago (Emily was just 31).

Esther the not-so-micro pig inspires couple to go vegan and open animal sanctuary
Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter were dedicated meat-eaters who bought a micro pig.
That was back in 2012.
A few months later the ‘pint-sized’ family pet had grown to 670lbs (304kg) – the size of a large, female polar bear.
But rather than sell her to a farmer, the couple from Ontario, Canada, accepted her just as she was.
Besotted, they also became vegans and opened a farm animal sanctuary.

This taco chair will take napping to the next level
This is for anyone who’s ever dreamt of laying themselves down on a soft pillowy tortilla and drifting off to sleep.
Introducing the taco chair. Well, the internet’s named it the taco chair. Makers Blandito call it a multifunctional pad, which is slightly less sexy.
Either way, it’s the soft, cosy cocoon your daytime naps have been crying out for.
You can either use it for snuggling on the sofa, as an armchair in its own right, or as a rug that doubles as a daybed.

Girl ruthlessly ensures her ex-boyfriend never gets a Tinder date again by completely screwing up his bio
One boy’s ex-girlfriend made sure her former flame would never receive a Tinder match again after she discovered he was using the dating app behind her back.
After two months of a Tinder dry-spell, Benjamin Hurley decided to look into why he wasn’t receiving any right swipes.
And it turns out, his ex had a lot to do with it.
Posting to Facebook, he laughed at himself as he told his friends why he’d received no female interest for a while.
Apparently, a Tinder bio really is vital in receiving a right swipe.
Here’s what was written on his Tinder profile:
I had a girlfriend until she found my Tinder profile…

Important: A new Cards Against Humanity-type game may be about to launch
A new Cards Against Humanity (CAH)-type game may be about to launch – and we couldn’t be more excited.
And just like CAH, it’s been created by a group of friends, who are looking for funding for the game through a KickStarter project.
The game, which is pretty much a mix of CAH and Taboo, is word-game for people who ‘prefer to use colorful language to express how they feel’.
After joining up in pairs or groups, the aim of the game is to get your teammates to say the bad word on your card, without actually using the bad words.

Her journey to work this morning was so random, she decided to live tweet it.

It began, in the rain, around 8am this morning.
It was, at first, like any other day.

This dog noticed his owner was sad… so brought her brilliant gifts to cheer her up
A service dog who on several occasions has noticed his owners sadness is filling the internet’s hearts with happiness after he was pictured bringing her a gift to try and cheer her up.
While other pets like to bring in mice to make you smile (no really, they think they’re doing a good thing), this dog had other ideas. BETTER ideas.
Potatoes.
Yes, this fluffy little dog thought a potato was just what his distressed owner needed to help her relax.
Posting a photo of the dog and the potato to Tumblr, user Drovie wrote: ‘Today at therapy was really hard. I was sitting here crying, and generally being miserable, when I felt a nudge at my knee. I looked down to see that Zeus, my service dog, was doing his job… and brought me a potato.’

Cankle surgery is here: Women are getting threads sewn under their skin for ‘ankle lift’
Thanks to widespread panic over perfectly normal ankles, plastic surgeons have developed a new treatment they say can rid us of cankles, as if we didn’t have enough to spend our money without getting face-lifts on our feet.
The so-called ‘facelift for your extremities’ involves inserting a thread under the skin, pulling it up from underneath, to give a ‘lifted’ and streamlined look on ankles that patients might deem to be too saggy or ‘chunky’.
The treatment, called PDO thread therapy, is designed to tighten skin and induce collagen production to give the area… Read the full story

Can you guess which is the dog and which is the muffin out of these pictures?
Everyone loves a mind-boggler – and if it includes fluffy dogs and muffins, then all the better.
In what is possibly the weirdest new internet craze to date, people are uploading pictures comparing dogs to food – and yuo have to guess which is the dog and which is the food.
Of course, some of them are a little obvious – but that’s part of the fun, right?
Let’s try you on this one: Dog or muffin?
Easy, but if you’re looking out of the corner of your eye, you could be fooled.
How about this: Puppy or bagel?

Guy goes completely bat s*** crazy over text after girl cancels date
It’s totally normal to feel a little bit annoyed or a least a somewhat let down when someone cancels a date. Especially if you were really looking forward to it.
But sometimes you sort of deserve it – a bit like this guy, who got himself nixed after he asked his potential date whether or not she was using birth control.
A little bit personal – considering they’d never met before.
Unsurprisingly, she cancelled their Wednesday evening date there and then.
But instead of taking it like a man and moving on, the guy in question got extremely upset, and sent her a string of borderline-obsessive text messages.
Two words: Lucky. Escape.
It all started with a ridiculously personal question:
