10 GUYS WORTH DATING ...

According to Glamour magazine, here are 10 guys worth getting to know ...

1. The much older man ... to get that creepy Dad thing out of your system.
2. The too-good-looking-for-me-guy ... because those are your insecurities talking, and you should tell them to shut up.
3. The dumb jock ... because there's a lot to be said for endurance.
4. The potentially gay guy ... for the potentially forever friendship.
5. The pretentious intellectual ... because, if nothing else, you'll learn a lot.
6. The Euro snob ... because you can steal his fancy bath products.
7. The non-committal guy ... because he's a rite of passage that will bond you with every other woman on earth.
8. The guy who wants to be saved ... to teach you that you can't do that for anybody.
9. The money-hungry guy. You'llquickly scratch "rich" off your wish list.
10. The cute but dorky guy ... because in the long run, dorky might not matter.

HOW TO MAKE LOVE LAST

When you finally find the right someone, you wanna hold onto them forever. Glamour offers some examples of what to do weekly, monthly, and annually to strengthen your relationship.

Once a week ...

• Fight (a little). Keep little things from growing out of proportion by fightin' it out.

• Compliment each other. Try daily to notice something worth a mention.

• Let something go. There's stuff that matters ... and there's stuff that will drive you nuts forever -- try to let one go.

• Laugh really hard. Laughter is a relationship's Krazy Glue: It bonds you.

Once a Month ...

• Be do-gooders. Helping out together (even just to assist a pal) highlights common values and will bring you together.

• Talk about money. Whether it's "Should we open a joint account?" or just, "Hey, let's split the bill tonight."

• Declare something strictly between the two of you. Whether it's a silly nickname or a bedroom mishap, share something intimate that stays only with the two of you.

Once a Year ...

• Take on a project. Restore an old car, or put up shelves -- team projects are great relationship cement.

• Get a dog. Or at least a plant. Care for a living thing that can grow with your relationship.

• Confess. Wanna be President? Have a dark family secret? If you can't tell your partner, how much of a partner do you have?

FAST AND FURIOUS

As humans, we have a general lust for speed. We want faster computers, cars and athletes.

According to wannahaves.com, here are some of the greatest feats of speed humans have achieved:

1. Fastest text message -- Kimberly Yeo punched in 26 words in 43.24 seconds, beating a world record of 67 seconds for the same words set in 2003.

2. Fastest man -- Usain Bolt currently holds the world record for the 100 meters, the 200 meters and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 meters relay.

3. Fastest elevator -- The Taipei 101 elevator carries people from the ground to the top (101st floor) in 39 seconds, at a staggering 1,010 meters per minute. The cars are actually fitted with pressure control systems to keep your ears from popping.

4. Fastest Plane -- The X-43 is the fastest airplane in the world. It's unmanned and launches from a B-52 at about 40,000 feet in the air. It has been clocked at Mach 9.6 or 7,000 miles per hour.

Rules About Office Romances(Posted 3:00 AM, 1/28/2010)

There's no reason to avoid on-the-job romances completely, but no matter how casual they may be, you need to approach them with caution. Here are some important rules to stick by when starting something up with a co-worker: Keep it Quiet -- Don't jump the gun. Be patient and find your feet before going public. Stay Off the Grid -- Don't use work e-mail to communicate anything personal. Instead, use web-based mail. Stagger Entrances and Exits -- Show up separately in the morning and don't leave together at night. Full Disclosure -- When you become an established couple, consider being open and letting everyone know. This allows you to control the spread of the news rather than rely on waves of office gossip. Keep it Professional -- Avoid the use of pet names at work. Source: Reuters

CHEAP WAYS TO MAKE OVER YOUR APARTMENT

Even though you may be living in a small apartment -- and even though you're trying to save money in this down economy -- there are some great, cheap ways to make your place look more expensive ...

• Paint -- A fresh coat of paint works wonders. If you've been living somewhere for a year, consider spending a weekend repainting a room or two. You can get by spending $40 on supplies and you might be able to beg a friend to help you.

• Knobs -- Change your old, beat-up knobs. There are websites out there that have cool substitutes for your boring, junky knobs that don't cost a fortune.

• Frames -- You're an adult now, so take down or frame your posters. Nothing should be on your walls unless it's in a frame.

• Garbage Can -- You'd be surprised by the difference a nice garbage can makes in a kitchen. Shower curtains and cute soap dishes also go a long way.

DATING SCENE: 3 Simple Questions To Ask Your Date(Posted 3:00 AM, 1/27/2010)

Getting your date to open up can be tricky -- you want to find out what makes them tick without turning your date into an interrogation. Jason Kosmas and Dushan Zaric, co-authors of the dating book You Didn't Hear It From Us, have observed hundreds of couples as part owners of the New York bar Employees Only. They share a few getting-to-know-you questions that'll actually reveal something about your date ... 1. What kind of food do you like? People eat together more often than they sleep together, so food compatibility is huge. Plus, you can tell a lot about a person from their appetite. If they aren't even willing to try your favorite Thai restaurant, what other things are they closed off to? 2. How did you get into your line of work? Better to find out the journey that got them to where they are than to reduce them to their income bracket. 3. Who inspires you the most? By asking who inspires them, you can get a sense of the kind of person they look up to and the direction they want their life to go in.

DATING SCENE: Finding Love In The Supermarket(Posted 3:00 AM, 1/27/2010)

Even though online dating sites have made it possible to meet people without leaving the comfort of your own home, there is still something to be said for getting out there and approaching people face-to-face. Singles know that a match can be made anywhere -- school, work, church, or ... the grocery store. The challenge at the grocery store, of course, is that you have to figure out whether or not the person you're approaching is actually single. Here's a way to figure out if a guy is single just by looking in his grocery cart: One or two TV dinners: May be attached, but his wife or girlfriend could be away for a couple days. Three or more TV dinners: Single Cheap beer: College kid, probably single Big bag of frozen fish sticks or French fries: Single Axe body spray: Single Pack of Handi-Wipes: Married with kids People magazine: Attached -- and his wife or girlfriend is in charge Microwave burritos: Single Thin milk carton: Single

Todays Brain Drain Question:

WHAT YOUR HAIR SAYS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE

When it comes to our hair and how we wear it outside of work, some days call for loose and free, other days scream for a ponytail or a messy bun.

You might think it's just a simple decision, but the style experts at Cosmo.com say that the way you wear your hair during your downtime says a lot about what you like in the bedroom!

Here are their insights into what your hair says about your passion preferences:

1. You wear your hair pulled back in a ponytail ...
While it seems like an innocent schoolgirl look, women who opt for ponytails tend to be surprisingly bold in bed. "In fact, pulling your hair away from your eyes rather than hiding behind it indicates sexual self-confidence," says Ian Kerner, PhD, author of Be Honest -- You're Not That Into Him Either.

2. You super-style your hair, even at home ...
If you always look like you just stepped out of the salon, even when you're just hanging out at home, you love order and consistency in all of your personal encounters. Alan Pease, author of Body Language, says you're probably happiest when you're the one orchestrating your intimate encounters, rather than following your guy's lead.

3. You like your hair wild and free ...
Loving your hair in its untamed state is a sign that you're comfortable in your own skin and more relaxed than most women about life, love and sex. It tells your guy you're willing to let yourself go in bed without worrying about your hair getting messed up!

4. You like to put your hair up in a messy bun ...
Chances are, you crave same glamour in the bedroom and really enjoy male attention. "The neck is the most sexual part of a woman's body, so exposing it is a subconscious way of flirting and showing you're available," Pease says. You love sensual foreplay like sipping champagne in a bathtub filled with rose petals or kissing on satin sheets.

I WISH YOU WE MORE LIKE ... MY DOG

According to a survey by the American Kennel Club, when it comes to relationships, both men and women look for dog-like qualities in a partner.

The Top 5 Dog-Like Qualities Women Found Attractive in Men

1. Always in a good mood.
2. Always willing to spend time together.
3. Always up for cuddling on the couch.
4. Motivates me to exercise.
5. Eager to eat my cooking

The Top 5 Dog-Like Qualities Men Found Attractive in Women

1. Always in a good mood.
2. Just as happy to hang out at home as go out on the town.
3. Always greets me enthusiastically when I get home.
4. Doesn't get mad when I want to watch sports.
5. Being up for anything I want to do.

7 Ways To Get Over Being Dumped

Whether it's been two days or two years since you were dumped by someone you really cared about, one thing's for sure: It's not easy to forget and move on. We've all wondered if we'd ever stop feeling those painful twinges and sleepless nights. Well, MSN.com Dating & Personals surveyed some people who found themselves suddenly single and asked what helped them through the tough times. Here are 7 real-life tactics that helped heal some broken hearts: 1. Focus on work. After being dumped, you'll find yourself with a lot more time -- time that's often spent brooding over the past. Of course, you could also dedicate that time to your job. Focusing on work will keep you feeling productive and important and it doesn't hurt that the added praise and success can boost your fragile ego. 2. Focus on the negative. No matter what happened between you and your ex, you might find yourself spending way too much time thinking about giving it another shot. So, write up little notes with reminders of all the awful things your ex did or said, then post them near your phone and read them whenever you feeling like calling him or her -- seeing the pain in black and white can keep you from going back to a bad situation. 3. Make out and move on. Ask your friends what you should do to get over an ex and most will tell you to get out and meet someone new! Really, though, simple as it sounds, getting back on the market ASAP has helped lots of single people recover from a breakup. Diving into the dating pool can make you feel attractive again, give you new things to think about and (hopefully) land you a new partner. 4. Shush yourself. When your heart is bruised, it feels good to complain about it to your friends, but this chatty habit can keep you from moving on. If you think you talk too much about your ex, put an embargo on this kind of moping! Keep a rubber band around your wrist and snap it every time you're about to talk about your ex. Or just ask your friends not to allow you to pine away. 5. Pump yourself up. Turning your anger into fuel for a workout is better for your body than eating ice cream and better for your criminal record than slashing your ex's tires. Going to the gym also fills the time you would otherwise be sulking at home, exercise releases chemicals that help you feel less depressed and you'll boost your confidence! Also, next time you run into your ex, you'll look better than before! 6. Go all natural. No matter how crappy it feels to be single at first, spending some time outdoors can help you put things back in perspective. It's hard to feel hopeless when you're admiring natural beauty, and in nature, your body may reach a more peaceful, stress-free state -- hopefully your mind will follow. 7. Trash it. Getting rid of old reminders of your ex can be painful -- like if you throw away that shirt your ex left in your closet, you also risk throwing away all the good memories. But hoarding too many mementos can keep you tied to the bad feelings you have. Purging them tells you it's OK to start forgetting and move on with your life. RELATIONSHIPS: 4 Clues That He's Into You We hear a lot about signs that he's "just not that into you." But how do you know if he is? Here are four clues ... 1. He becomes really helpful. Men crave feeling needed, and when they're gaga over someone, they'll invent ways to be of assistance -- like hanging a shelf or changing the oil in your car. 2. He's happy just to hang out. When a guy is fully invested in being around you, he's content to chill out doing absolutely nothing. So it's a good sign when you start seeing him more often, even if your time together is less planned. 3. Things remind him of you. If he is e-mailing you funny Websites he's found or says he saw something in a store he thought you'd like, it proves you're on his brain full-time -- and becoming a part of his inner world. 4. He gives you a sweet nickname. Guys only use tender terminology like pet names once they're comfortable being vulnerable around you. He's into you, pumpkin ...

6 WAYS TO ANNOY YOUR JOB INTERVIEWER

We don't need to tell you it's a TOUGH job market out there. And you don't want to make things even harder on yourself by doing something really stupid in a job interview. Here are a 6 things you'll want to avoid during a job interview if you want to get that job ...

1. Gum chewing. Not a high crime, but an easy way to look seriously unprofessional.

2. Hair twirling. It makes you look young, silly and unpolished.

3. Slouching. Good posture communicates energy and confidence, while slouching conveys tiredness, boredom and laziness.

4. Texting/checking your phone. Turn it off and put it away! If you forget and it rings, quickly grab it and shut it off, then apologize. NEVER take it out during an interview!

5. Nail biting/finger-tapping/other nervous tics. Train yourself to keep still by breathing deeply and consciously relaxing your muscles.

6. Smiling too much (or not at all). Yes, it's important to appear pleasant and interested, but you don't want to come off as phony.

THE 6-SECOND SIZE-UP

It may seem like guys sometimes don't notice the details -- but here are six things he'll probably take note of within seconds of meeting you.

1. Your Smile -- Does it seem genuine or forced? Do you floss? (OK, he might not notice you didn't floss, but give the mirror a quick check for evidence from lunch.)

2. Your Hair -- "Roots" and "ends" aren't really guy vocab, but they will notice if it's soft and smells nice. So skip spikes and hairspray (like "The Gosselin") and wash it now and again (bonus if it's with something that smells yummy).

3. Your Makeup -- Yes, they do notice if you've painted on a mask! Avoid looking like The Joker and go light.

4. Your Cleavage -- This may shock you -- sit down -- but ... guys will check out your chest. Just consider wearing something flattering.

5. Your Skin ---- Guys are likely to ignore the zit that you're obsessing over (it's just a detail!) but will probably notice the toxic shade of orange you've turned due to the fake and bake tan.

6. Your Bag -- No it's not true that women who haul around giant purses are high maintenance ... but a lot of guys will assume that anyway. Try paring it down to some essentials.

Dumb Ways To Lose Weight

We're deep into January and some people are already giving up on their New Year's resolution to lose weight -- and others are getting desperate. Here are some of the most desperate (and stupid) lose-weight-fast schemes: The Cookie Diet -- The basic idea is that you eat six 100-calorie cookies and an extremely light meal for dinner and you'll start dropping weight. Unfortunately, because of the low calorie intake, you'll also start dealing with potassium deficiency, gallstones, heart palpitations, weakened kidney function and dizziness. Magical "Fitness" Shoes -- So-called "fitness shoes" are being made with unstable soles that require people to use more of their muscles while walking. The idea is that the shoes will help tone up your calves, thighs and buttocks without going through any intense physical exertion. But, the shoes are so unstable that trying to exercise in them could result in injuries. The Taco Bell "Drive-Thru Diet" -- The Drive Thru Diet is, sadly, for real. How dumb does Taco Bell think we are? Almost nothing good can happen to us when we're picking up bags of food at the drive-thru. Source: AlterNet.org

Todays Brain Drain Question/Answer








MAKE YOURSELF APPROACHABLE

No one asking you out? It's possible you're sending out "stay away" signals. C'mon, ladies -- it takes guts to approach a gal, so give a guy a break and show him you're open with these five tips to making yourself approachable ...

1. Uncross your arms. You can come across as unhappy and standoffish with your arms crossed in front of you like a shield.

2. Make a little eye contact. You don't have to stare like a crazed stalker -- but a casual look in his direction won't hurt.

3. Look bored. If you appear to be having a grand ol' time, he might not want to interrupt.

4. Smile. Yes. A simple smile makes you more approachable -- it's the opposite of crossed arms.

5. Don't bring a guy as your wingman. If you do, you don't look like you're out to meet someone ... so why would anyone approach?

You catch him staring at your eyes. You've heard that guys are visual creatures? Well, that sentiment goes right to their very hearts. If despite a room filled with eye-candy, he's looking at you ...that gaze may run deep. There's the secret stare (you'll have to catch him in the act) and the steady gaze. If he's willing to lock a look deep into your eyes, he's letting his guard down to let you in. 2. He stocks his kitchen with stuff you like. If he's thinking about you in the grocery store, you can bet you're on his mind quite a bit ... and that he "likes it." If he's not only thinking about you, but acting on it (especially with stuff he'll never eat -- like nonfat cherry-vanilla yogurt) he's smitten and he's gone public about you being part of his home-life. 3. He talks about where he wants to live in three years. Sharing his plans to live off the grid in Thailand might be a red flag, but if he's telling you about his vision to live in L.A. and wants to know if you could ever see yourself living there ... different story (those are long-term thoughts). 4. He wears the sweater you gave him all the time. His trusting you with his wardrobe is not to be taken lightly. Guys like to dress like ... well ... themselves. So, if he's bothering to wear that shirt you bought him, and therefore endure comments from his buddies, then he's into you. 5. He stands right next to you in public. If a guy still wants to check out his options, he'll probably take the lead or keep you ahead of him, where he can glace around otherwise unchecked. But a fella who's willing to show he's taken, will stand shoulder-to-shoulder -- suggesting other ladies need not apply, and allowing his eyes to be yours only. 6.

WALKIN' DOES A BODY GOOD

OK, 2010 is here and for lots of us, that means kicking things up a notch in the exercise department. But you don't have to run marathons or take endless spinning classes -- here's why plain old walking is the best thing for your bod:

• For your heart: Just 30 minutes of walking at least 3 times a week can lower your blood pressure. Plus, walking several times a week is just as effective as vigorous exercise when it comes to reducing women's risk of heart disease.

• For your brain: Walking boosts your brain's production of endorphins, those feel-good chemicals that help ward off stress and depression and fight tension and anger.

• For your skin: Like all cardio exercise, walking gets your heart pumping and improves circulation-and better blood flow means your skin looks (and IS!) healthier.

• For your immune system: Walking 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week can help you cut your chances of getting a cold in HALF. Walking supports healthy circulation, which helps immune cells reach and kill viruses and bacteria more quickly.

• For your bones: Weight-bearing exercise like walking helps build bone mass, which keeps bones stronger and fends off osteoporosis.

THINGS A MAN SHOULD KEEP IN HIS CAR

It's been a remarkably cold winter in many parts of the country. According to The Art of Manliness, guys should always be prepared for an emergency, so here's a list of things that should be in every man's car:

• Fully Charged Cell Phone -- Cell phones have changed everything about getting stranded. It used to be you had to walk to a stranger's house in a blizzard when you went into a ditch.

• Jumper Cables -- Having jumper cables is a good move for you ... and your fellow man. It's great to help other guys when they're in a jam.

• Flashlight -- Good for providing light when putting on a spare tire, jump starting another car or exchanging insurance information with the clueless driver that rear ended you at a stop light. Maglites are best.

• Warm Blankets -- Important to have, especially if you have a family. You might be able to handle the cold, but you don't want your wife and kids to have to.

• LifeHammer -- You get extra credit for this one. When you're trying to escape from a sinking car, this little piece of plastic and metal can be the difference between life and death. Use it to break your window, cut your seatbelt and make your escape. (Or, just vow to never drive your car into a lake.)

DIET & EXERCISE: Keep Your Diet Resolutions!(Posted 3:00 AM, 1/6/2010)

According to MSN Health & Fitness, nearly half of all Americans make New Year's resolutions. And there's no doubt that many of thise resolutions have to do with losing weight. Here are four tips to help us on our diet path ... 1. Keep a food record. To fix your diet, you should understand where it's broken. The best way is to record everything you eat and analyze your routines. 2. Discover veggies. Adding veggies, fruits, whole grains and beans to your diet can play an important role in weight loss -- their high water and fiber content create a feeling of fullness with very little fat and calories. 3. Remove temptations. Keep only healthy foods at home and don't buy foods you know you have trouble resisting (even if you buy them for someone else!). 4. Don't give up! If you start to slide into your old bad habits, refuse to give up your efforts. Remember, persistence is better than perfection!

Today's Brain Drain Question:






IT COULD BE WORSE ... THE BIGGEST LOSERS OF 2009

You might have had a crappy 2009, but it definitely could have been worse. Whenever you're down in the dumps about the utter worthlessness of your existence, consider what these guys are going through.
According to Gunaxin.com, here are the biggest losers of 2009:

1. Rod Blagojevich -- When the year started, he was the governor of Illinois. By the end, he was impeached for trying to sell Barack Obama's open senate seat.

2. Vince Offer -- You know him as the ShamWow guy and the SlapChop guy. He parlayed his undeserved fortune into slapping around a prostitute in Miami.

3. Howard K. Stern (Anna Nicole Smith's last boyfriend) -- Howard and two doctors were charged with conspiracy to prescribe controlled substances to an addict. In other words, they might have given Anna Nicole Smith the drugs that killed her. Oops.

4. Roman Polanski -- After about three decades of nobody caring, Polanski was again taken into custody for his 1977 crime of having sex with a 13-year-old. (Honorable mention: All the pathetic celebrities who came to the defense of an admitted child molester.)

6. Tiger Woods -- Maybe the loser of the decade? This guy lost BILLIONS for himself and his sponsors because he couldn't keep his pants on. That's billions. With a "B."
