What men find truly hot and sexy might come as a surprise.
As impressionable young girls brainwashed by images of Pam Anderson (and slack jawed by her effect on men), many of us (foolishly) employed questionable clothing in the name of male approval. Got breasts? Let 'em pop, baby. Dress? Hike that hemline so high that sitting doubles as a gyno appointment. No bra, no problem. Too tight? Nay. Not tight enough. Dress Your Way to Better Sex
We were right, of course. Many a man's eye got a free all-day pass at our (practically) naked bodies. But oh how angry had we known an outfit out of Pam … Read More
Does his fashion sense make you cringe? Here's exactly what to do (and not do).
I once dated a guy who clothed himself almost exclusively in band t-shirts, pleated trousers, and an ever-present fanny pack. (And no, he wasn't a German tourist.) I remember thinking when we met that I'd finally cast eyes upon the archetypal rock critic. That he actually was a rock critic made the experience all the richer. Because he was smart, funny and cute-ish, I chose to overlook his sartorial missteps and we quickly fell in love. But despite my best efforts—including renaming the fanny pack his "colostomy bag"—I never could convince him to spiff up.

My DH wears socks riddled with holes. He likes them. He doesn't care and if he's happy, so am I. Everything would be okay, except his mom (who is fabulous btw) is constantly telling me that I shouldn't let him wear those socks and that its my job to "take care of him": buy him socks, throw away the old ones.I disagree. He's a big boy. He wants socks, he knows how to drive to Target. What do you think? Would you get your DH new socks? Or are you with me and let him take care of himself?
One woman's dating history is mapped in her closet.
This is a story about a dysfunctional relationship. It was between me and my bedroom closet, and I know you know what I'm talking about.
The closet was full and I was empty. Every time I opened the door, I encountered someone I no longer cared about, an outgrown, repetitive personality. Like most of us, I had the requisite work stuff in there, which fell into the category of more (summer wool suit) or less (brocade sheath) mandatory and was therefore defensible in some way. But the play clothes, the rows and piles of stuff that I relied on to reflect … Read More
