12 Things That Women Want, But They Will Not Tell You
There are things that women want from men, but they would not ask especially when they are still dating.
These celebrity ladies spill the beans!
1. Christina Applegate
"Call us back right away. That 'three day' business does not apply. We're getting older, and we don't have time to screw around. Wait too long and we'll lose interest. Trust me on this one."
2. Courtney Cox
"We pay closer attention to your hands than you think. It's bad enough if you don't have manly hands, but if your nails are longer than ours, forget it."
3. Padma Lakshmi
"Some of us prefer boxing to yoga. None of us actually likes Pilates."
4. Alyssa Milano
"Women are innately self-conscious. This is not a choice; it's a genderwide condition. On a bad day, I look in the mirror and see my ten-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Bertha. On a really bad day, Bertha sees her two-hundred-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Brian Dennehy."
5. Poppy Montgomery
"When considering whether or not to ask out the girl you're afraid to talk to, keep this in mind: No matter who you are or what you look like, it's always flattering when you hit on us. Always."
6. Tea Leoni
"Supersecret: Unless we're blind or have no night-light in the bathroom, the whole toilet-seat thing is exaggerated and meant to control you."
7. Mariska Hargitay
"We love the fact that it takes you only twelve minutes to get ready for anything, be it a black tie (event) or a basketball game. When it takes longer than that... what are you doing in there?
"We are all about our necks. Feel free to spend as much time there as you wish."
8. Emily Deschanel
"Even if we've only been dating a few weeks, don't introduce us as your 'lady friend' - or that's exactly what we'll become."
9. Jenna Fischer
"If we run into your ex-girlfriend in public, the first thing you should do is put your arm around us. And if we have to introduce ourselves, you are in big trouble."
10. Julie Delpy
"We need you to be reachable at all times, but we don't always pick up our phones when you call. We realize this seems like a double standard; if you'd like to discuss it further, just leave a message."
11. Maria Bello
"We're afraid of commitment, too. You may think we spend our time scheming ways to trap you into marriage, but many of us are quite happy being independent and autonomous. Besides, we're not in any rush to quit lusting after young Calvin Klein models."
12. Kyra Sedgwick
"Our friends are not your enemies, and our enemies better not be your friends."Labels: dating, relationships
4 Oneline Dating Photos Myths Busted!
Hoping to get noticed on online dating sites?
An online matchmaker survey shows why smiling for men is not as attractive as it may seem, and why women with cellphone shots interest more contacts.
Okcupid examines the profile of its members (18-32 years old & living in big cities) and sort out those who make more contacts based on their profile pics - facial attitude (whether the person is smiling or not); context of photo (whether the image was taken outdoors or in a bedroom); and how much skin is bared. Just to examine the photo and not the attractiveness of the person, the data exclude the most and least attractive photos.
The result busts out four myths of online dating photos:
1. Smiling
Smiling in photo attracts people, but not if you're a guy. Men who are looking away from the camera and not smiling get more messages from possible dates.
"If you're looking straight at a camera for a male, that can be intimidating to a woman. But if someone is looking off past you that can, in many ways, be less threatening and more approachable."
Smiling is not a turn-off for the women though. But the result also suggested that women should look straight at the camera with a pouty-face smile for a more flirty look.
2. Cellphone and Webcam Shots
Of course, self-shot photos have low-end resolutions. The blurry pic sometimes reflect boredom and creepiness.
Interestingly though, cellphone and webcam photos attract more date contacts both for men and women (more if cleavage is shown at that angle). What do self-shot photos possessed? Authenticity.
"There's a level of intimacy and honesty in a shelf-shot photo. It has a sense of 'hot off the presses, this is me in real time, unadulterated, not prettied up.' And there's something very spontaneous about it."
3. Shirts On!
Abs shots actually interest women - but beware of the bias. Only guys with six-packs abs are worthy to take their shirts off in photos. In fact, these guys with fit bodies get more date messages if they show their muscled upper body than if they hide it underneath the shirt. Also young men in their early 20s make more date contacts with their shirts off than those in their 30s.
The female equivalent for abs is the cleavage. Women who show their cleavage on photos are more sought-after than those who do not. But unlike men, this advantage went up with age. Although women generally get fewer new messages as they age, "a 32-year-old woman showing her body received one fewer message than the equivalent 18 year-old, but an 'older woman' showing no cleavage got 4 fewer messages compared with a young gal."
Essentially, show your best asset!
4. Show Your Face
Despite that the dating site encourages its members to upload photos that show their faces, the study suggests that face has no impact on the number of messages received by a member. In fact, faceless photos attract more date contacts especially if they are unusual, mysterious or otherwise alluring.

Loveless? Try Love Plus Virtual Dating Game!
A new virtual dating game is currently out in Japan. It has caused quiet a stir as some women complained that their men are "cheating" on them by spending too much time with their virtual girlfriends.
"Love Plus" is the new dating stimulation video game that allows men to "court" several different virtual girls. And here's how the "romantic" part happens:
"If you play your cards right, one of them will start to fall for you. As you grow closer, you'll need to take your new fake girlfriend out on dates - in real time, no less - and start planning your future together. Eventually she might ask for a kiss, which requires touching her on the lips. Or perhaps she'll ask you to whisper sweet nothings in her ear, which requires babbling pleasantries into the DS microphone."
A San Francisco man shares his odd love story with Love Plus virtual girlfriend, Rinko:
"Ok, this is pretty embarrassing. The DS has a mic and a touchscreen, so... one time, she asked me to say 'I love you' a hundred times into the mic. I was on the airplane when she asked me that, so I was like, no way. There was also this part where you have to hold her hand on the touchscreen. If you touch her hand with the stylus, you get to hold her hand. And then there's the part where you have to kiss her."
WOW! It takes a lot of shame, err, "courage" to win the hearts of these virtual girlfriends. So did he actually kissed her?
"No, no! The girl's face shows up on the screen, and you have to touch her lips to give her a kiss. That's pretty weird... this is embarrassing. I'm sweating right now just talking about it."
As they say, dating is just awkward moments that require energy and focus. Consider that applicable even to the harmless yet a little disturbing world of virtual dating.

Dita von Teese's Art of Seduction
Dying to seduce the man of your dreams?
Take it from fetish model and burlesque performer Dita von Teese: an effective strategy for seducing men is letting them come to you - after you have set the target.
"I don't have a technique for seducing men because they're all so different. You have to know your victim. It has always worked for me to let them come to me. "I'm not very aggressive. I don't seduce and destroy. I like to be chased, but I'm not into playing hard to get." Dita von Teese's art of seduction is pretty simple. Instead of getting aggressive around your "victim" (the man you like, deary), back off and let him come to you.
Men generally love the thrill of the chase so... know your victim, set the stage, and let them do the hunting! Labels: dating, Dita von Teese, seduction
