Certain men—gays and hairstylists among them—have a particularly astute handle on what women want.

Richard Temtchine, who is decidedly not the former but was, for 22 years, the latter, is one of these men—and he's translated this insight into his new film, How To Seduce Difficult Women, opening in New York City on Friday. The Paris-born Temtchine wrote, directed and produced the film, which follows Philippe, a philandering, married Frenchman living in New York, as he instructs hapless American men in the art of seduction. Temtchine came up with the idea after running into an acquaintance who struck him … Read More

Michelle Pfeiffer stars as an aging courtesan, Lea de Lonval, who is considered the most beautiful and desirable woman in her trade. A courtesan, explains a male narrator at the beginning of the film, … Read More

They, in their infinite wisdom, say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach (though some would say to aim a little lower). But the gang over at Glamour has been able to dial in this chestnut to create a single dish that will force him to his bent knee. The engagement chicken is such a meal; he will be so overcome that he has no recourse but to pop the question. Beth Ostrosky used this technique to expedite a betrothal from badass bachelor Howard Stern (King Of Media, not the lawyer lover … Read More

At some point during the 1990s, it became not just OK but almost preferred to be a sensitive dude, in the estimation of women. "Soulful poets" like Kurt Cobain made the ladies swoon with enlightened ennui. Adam Duritz (of Soul Asylum or Counting Crows or Third Eye Blind) may have bedded every woman in Hollywood (and beyond, but particularly the female cast of Friends). Read All About Jennifer Aniston

A woman who drinks to excess and commonly squeal, "woooo" when something favorable occurs (such as quaffing another tequila shot or the DJ playing "All The Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).") The woo girl can be found in all matter of watering holes but seems to eschew low-key establishments such as a piano bars and places that don't serve hard liquor.

While the Woo Girl is traditionally in her … Read More

Think about it: would you rather spend a Friday night at home catching up on Family Guy or having sex like a Greek goddess?

All you need is a Twister board and a stopwatch to put on your own version of original Olympic games. Or maybe channel your inner Israeli "Warrior Princess" and bring some body paints to the bedroom? If you're into role-playing, practice the French "Cing a Sept" and have your man treat you like his mistress instead of his mate.

Pick-up artistry is the idea that there's a certain set of actions that, when used, will make women swoon, give you their phone number and go home with you. The idea entered pop culture in 2005 with the book The Game , and reached its nadir in "The Pick-Up Artist," the Vh1 show where Mystery, a pick-up artist, showed regular guys how to land dates.

To me, pick-up artistry has two sides. It's good if it teaches socially awkward guys skills to interact with people and if it instills confidence in guys who are afraid they have … Read More

Men are simple creatures. Women spend much more time pondering our desires and motivations than  than we do, but nobody said we don't value introspection. Women want to know what men want, and men—when plied with alcohol—want to tell them. So armed with a pen and an open bar tab, I set out to find the information that will help you snag your man.

First, know what you're after. More and more women are holding off on relationships—at least for a while—and, like countless men before them, complaining that they can't get no satisfaction. Emphasis on 'action.' So the first question … Read More
