5 COMPLIMENTS GUYS CRAVE

Complimenting a woman is easy -- tell her she looks beautiful, her dress is gorgeous, her hair is perfect, etc. But when it comes to stroking a guy's ego, what does he really want to hear? From DivineCaroline.com, here are the top 5 things men love to be complimented on:

1. His smile/laugh. By far, the number-one answer. Guys need to know they make you happy and the best way to tell them is saying how funny they are or how much you love their smile.

2. His skills. Focus on a guy's favorite hobby and compliment a specific skill. Not just, "You're so good at bowling," but "Wow, you put such an awesome spin on the ball!"

3. His doubts. Men try to hide their inner fears, but they have as many insecurities as women do. So be a self-esteem coach and compliment him where he needs it most.

4. His dog, car, etc. Men aren't used to compliments, so ease into it -- use an indirect object of flattery. Tell him his dog is cute and he'll take it as a compliment for himself.

5. His sexy body. Let's face it, complimenting a guy on his manly goods is always going to score you a home run.



BFFs

Every girl needs friends, right? Here are some to keep ... and a few to let go of ...
Friends You Need:

1. The Cheerleader: She's the first to give you a thumbs up on your Facebook statuses. She's the one you're calling as soon as your horrible Match.com date is over. Why we love her: unconditional support.

2. The Brutally Honest One: If you're deciding whether you really need your eyebrows waxed, or whether to call that guy who just isn't that into you but might be someday if you can only change his mind, she's the one to take you by the shoulders and tell you how she really feels. Why we love her: She's willing to risk hurting your feelings for a good cause -- never letting you make a fool of yourself.

3. The Wise One: She's ridden the roller coaster of life, and now she's there to hand-hold you through your ups and downs. Why we love her: She gives the best advice, because she's been there and done that. Nothing shocks her. Nothing. Try her. We dare you.

4. The Old Pal: She remembers when you wore fuzzy pajamas with feet and played "light as a feather" at sleepovers. Why we love her: You don't have to explain yourself, she already knows you. And most importantly, she gets you.

5. The Guy Pal: He doesn't analyze your outfit, take it personally if you're cranky, or need to hear every last detail about what's-going-on-with-your-life in the past two weeks. He just wants to hang out.

Three Types You Can Do Without:

With "friends" like these, who needs enemies?

1. The Underminer: This type is sneaky. It's not exactly what she's saying, but how she's saying it. After you've hung out with her, you may notice a feeling of, Hey, did she just diss me, or is it just me? It's not just you. It's her. Drop-kick her (she won't even notice).

2. The Topper: Just got a job promotion? She'll mention her five promotions in the past five years. Ran your first 10K race? Expect a rundown of her last marathon. No matter what your story is, she has something up her sleeve to one-up you. Drop-kick her (she'll just recall the time she was the star kicker on her soccer team).

3. The Judge: Remember when you had that meltdown? And she was all cool and collected and comforting at the time? Well, she was actually tallying your drama on a handy mental checklist. Drop-kick her (she'll judge you for being passive-aggressive, but it's worth it).

BEER PONG WILL GIVE YOU SWINE FLU

Officials at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York have warned students that the sharing of cups during games of beer pong can lead to the spread of the swine flu. The officials actually sent out a campus-wide email detailing a group of students who had all come down with the virus after a weekend game.
The school has about 7,000 total students -- with 21 cases of swine flu this semester so far.
