The men on “Perfect Match” Season 2 have a knack for being wrong. In just eight episodes, we’ve watched them scream, lie, and quite literally throw up with guilt.

In May 2019, six months after a 35-year-old Marian Dancy gave birth to her second child, she became strangely ill. Her symptoms started as general fatigue and swelling in her legs and ankles, which she chalked up to being a tired postpartum mom, always on her feet. But a few months later she started to

When it comes to upper-body day vs lower-body day at the gym, everyone has a favorite, right?
