This week I am playing

"What if..."

 

We'd be smarter if we sought out guys who are uglier than we are because researchers have found that couples in which the woman is hotter than the guy are happier than if the situation is reversed.

 

What if a hot girl recently dumped by a hot guy decided to start dating every unattractive guy she met?  What happens when she starts to fall for one and he suddenly seems more attractive to her?

The search for missing IU student is bringing back painful memories for another Hoosier family who's been searching for their missing college student for seven years now.

 

This article addresses three missing persons' cases. Other than being in the same location, they appear to be unrelated. But what if they were related? How would the victims be connected? What  would be the motivate for the kidnappers?

 

In one of the most chilling revelations yet about the violence in Mexico, a drug cartel-connected trafficker claims fellow gangsters have kidnapped highway bus passengers and forced them into gladiator-like fights to groom fresh assassins. 

 

This is an interesting look into the drug cartels of Mexico. I don't know how much of the gladiator-like fights is true. It is disputed in the article, but what if a young reporter decided to make it her mission to find out the truth? What if she (or he) went into to Mexico undercover to bring down the cartel? Who would he/she meet? Who would help? How would he/she make it home?

So, Swap with me. 

What's got  your "What if?" gear turning this week?
