what men think
A lifelong boob man comes clean about his breast addiction.
I need help.
For too long I've endangered my good name, made an idiot of myself and generally debased my own character on a daily basis.
Because of breasts.
No matter how many breasts I might see or how many I'm lucky enough to touch, the second they're gone, I forget what they looked like, felt like, and I become inexplicably, dark-magically obsessed with them again. It's like I have sensory amnesia. Oh, look at that woman's wonderful breasts! I wonder what they look like? Lemondrop: Sex Addiction—Medical Condition Or Convenient Excuse?
Because, really, they aren't impressionist art. They all have the same … Read More

What you really sound like when you bring up an ex on a first date.
There are certain things you just shouldn't do on a first date, like attend a three-hour self-help seminar, enter a burrito-eating contest or get a tattoo with your date's name on it. Another item to add to the list? Talking about your ex. Lemondrop: How to Prevent a First-Date Trainwreck

What she's really trying to say with a V-neck top and high heels may surprise you.
I feel really sorry for the guys who read Men’s Health and get all sorts of bad advice ... usually in the form of “insightful” articles written by women. I can only imagine these ladies must have been dumped hard-core—maybe in a text message or at their mother’s funeral or something—to have it out for men the way they do. What else explains the desire to push guys in the wrong direction time and time again? To set them up not just for rejection and failure, but for utter humiliation as well? This time the readers of Men’s Health—oh, the … Read More
Simple, inexpensive ways to make your home guy-friendly.
When you bring your new love interest to your pad, you want to make a good first impression. But who has the time or resources these days? Never fear—a few minor adjustments can help your new guy feel right at home without compromising your bank account or your personal style.
Although many women fear than an overly feminine home will scare a guy off, remember that most guys care less about a home's level of girliness and more about what it says about her: Is she high-maintenance? Does she have good taste? Does she have any closeted freakiness? (Hint: consider hiding … Read More
Why men are not impressed by women who eat rabbit food on a date.
A recent study of male and female undergrads at Canada's McMaster University revealed that, sadly (if unsurprisingly), young women tend to eat like frightened rabbits in front of their male counterparts. According to researchers, the women believed that eating small portions and low-calorie foods impresses the men. Lemondrop: Cheap Wine Pairings For Cheap Foods You Actually Eat
In my experience? Going out with women who eat like small woodland creatures sort of takes the fun out of a meal. And I've heard the old "But I like salad!" refrain. I'm not saying you don't. What I am saying is, I think … Read More
Romance is showing your love in a language the other person, woman or man, understands.
I once heard a story of a young math professor who came home from work and greeted his fiancée with a little blue box from Tiffany. "This is a present for you, honey. But to get it, you have to tell me why I'm giving it to you today instead of any other day." She wracked her brain; it was still over three months till their anniversary and over five months till their marriage. It wasn't her birthday or a holiday or anything else she could come up with, but she knew her betrothed, and she started thinking about how … Read More

Does a weave make a woman sexier?
Hair extensions produced Kate Gosslin's sexy new look; the jury's still out on the authenticity of First Lady Michelle Obama's stylish bob. At best, "gone today, here tomorrow" styles offer greater flexibility. At worst, the expensive, go-faux trend signals that women are increasingly dissatisfied with their natural looks.
Certainly, what's inside a woman's head matters more than what sprouts from—or is synthetically attached to—it. But since first impressions are so important in the dating game, we asked men: "Do you prefer au naturale or faux naturale?" Dating Advice From Michelle Obama

Fashion choices that leave men baffled.
Fashionistas everywhere have been up in arms because of the Lindsay Lohan-induced trend of wearing leggings as pants. But slowly, we (and they) have succumbed, and leggings have become such an integral part of the fashion culture that a new vocabulary has developed.
Enter "jeggings."
What are they? Jean leggings, and this Love Buzzer has a pair in her dresser drawer. Unfortunately, her husband isn't as enamored of this new look, and his bafflement is fair enough. Fashion trends like this have been cropping up for decades, leading women everywhere to plunk down big bucks on items of apparel that … Read More
