Single and looking? Go out dancing while you're ovulating and see what happens.

If you're single and looking, you should go out dancing when you're ovulating — your fertility peak of the month. Seriously. For reasons only our ovaries know, men find ovulating women to be better dancers and therefore, overall sexier.

Some German researchers set out to prove this theory by having a group of guys watch videos of both ovulating and non-ovulating ladies walking and dancing. Their task was to rate these women based on their level of attractiveness (difficult task, fellas). To make sure the men weren't completely focused on looks, they only showed them the silhouettes of the women in question.
