MAC09 NEW WIFE01 wide 15 Annoying Questions Husbands Can’t Stop Asking Their Wives

(PhatzNewsRoom / The Stir) — Let me just preface this post by saying that I have the greatest husband — most of the time. But even a really can drive his woman nuts every once in awhile. For example, why do they always ask questions they should darn well know the answer to. I know I’m not alone here, ladies. So I took a quick and very of women in and they revealed all of the really their guys continually ask. So take a look at the 15 questions women wish men would just stop asking!

Do we have any milk? — Open. The. . And. Look!!!!
Where’s the mail? — In that mailbox you walked by right before you stepped inside.
Do you need help with the ? — Next time ask before you see me put the last plate away.

The 9 Best Things to Say to a Guy You Just Met

(Phatforums News / ) – Step 1: Spot a cute guy. Step 2: Deliver one of these pickup lines. Step 3: Watch him turn to putty in your hands.

The hardest part of meeting guys is knowing how to strike up an intriguing conversation that will keep him wanting more. So we asked and Mike Lindstrom, authors of Dan and Mike’s Guide to Men, to reveal the best words that can hook any dude, anywhere.

At a : “What’s the most impressive goal you’ve ever scored in a game?”
Double entendre aside, ahem, dudes love to talk about sports almost as much as they love to brag. This question taps into both of those things. Whether he tells you about his high school years as the star quarterback, or surprises you with a minor league past — just know he’s already digging you, simply because you asked.

At a club: “I dare you to show me your moonwalk.”
To a guy, completing a dare is as mandatory as applying in the morning. Moonwalk, , or The Dougie — he’s going to do it. And when he makes a complete clown out of himself, you’ll be there to swoop in and save him from his two left feet. We’re guessing he’ll repay you with a round of drinks.

At a restaurant bar: “They have the best here. Ever tried ‘em?”
If they don’t serve nachos, choose another menu item nearly everyone has a strong opinion about, like pizza or wings. Best case? He agrees with you and you decide to share a plate. Worst case? He disagrees, you flirtatiously fight, and then you offer to buy him some — just to prove him wrong. It’s a win-win line that will have any guy eating off of your plate. Literally.

At a friend’s party: “I wanted to talk to you the second I got here, but no one introduced me. So I’m introducing myself.”
Men are attracted to . He’ll think the fact you had the chutzpah to approach him is hot. Sure, some guys like to make the , but that doesn’t mean they’re not pleasantly surprised when a woman does the legwork.

At the : “I’m bored. What do you normally do when your underwear is drying?”
Guys are extremely visual creatures. Even though you mentioned his underwear, he’s automatically thinking about yours — and the fact that they’re probably black and lacy, or barely there at all. So basically, you’ve got him hooked, and even if your only awesome suggestion is a quick round of Fruit Ninja on your phone, count him in.

At the park: “Any ideas on how to turn this blanket into a Twister board? I really want to play.”
This shows a guy that you’re fun, playful, and energetic — all in one quick line. He’ll be curious to see what other crazy thoughts you dream up next.

At a baseball game: “I bet you a post-game drink that (insert player’s name) will hit a home run this inning.”
It’s human nature for men to be competitive, and there’s nothing like a harmless wager to get ‘em going. He’ll probably raise the stakes, turn the drink into a shot, and spend the rest of the game talking to you. So even if that player with the cute rear doesn’t hit a home run — that line just scored you an after-game date.

At the gym: “You look like you know your way around this place. Where’s that machine that works your glutes?”
While we consistently flatter our girlfriends (“Your hair looks so cute today! Love that top!”), guys rarely receive compliments from one another. So when they hear one, they take note. By saying he knows his way around the weight room, you’re telling him he looks buff and manly, feeding right into his macho ego. In return he’ll be more than willing to help you find whatever machine you’re looking for … and probably a whole lot more too.

On the beach: “I bet you’re wondering how I avoid tan lines.”
Nope. He wasn’t. But after that comment, that’s all that will be on his mind as long as you’re laying next to him. And if it’s up to him, you’ll stay right there, talking to him …. At least until you give up your secret about being a spray tan addict.

Men’s grooming habits that turn women off

8d1291f25368fba4c31eca46fe77bb7f Men’s grooming habits that turn women off

(Phatforums News/ TT) - Ladies, tell me you agree. There is a horrific beauty double standard going on that we have to do something about. Now that it’s summer, we’ve all been upping our beauty game— more shaving and , keeping in check— so the terrible grooming habits of our guys have become all the more glaring. Why is stomach-turning (or in certain cases, too much attention) the ? We’re not asking guys to do anything we don’t do ourselves. If you’re feeling extremely grossed out by what you’re seeing thanks to flip-flops and , take comfort in this: You are not alone.

We asked our (affectionately known as “Threaders”) to share the grooming issues that irk them the most, and the answers were awfully familiar. One Threader asked if we could please paste the comments “on a huge billboard that all men can see.” Well, here’s our billboard equivalent! See the top ten offenses below and add more by posting on our Facebook wall.

1. Long, dirty toe nails. Or, as one Threader called it, “Hobbit feet.” I love that. It’s true. Guys, you don’t have to sit for a pedicure, but there’s no for claws filled with dirt.

2. Hair where it shouldn’t be. Nose hair was the number-one complaint with ear hair a close second. “Why is it so hard to buy a trimmer and a mirror?” asked a completely reasonable Threader. We don’t have the answer.

3. Mouth madness. This is just basics. We’re brushing, flossing, and whitening, but certain guys seem to think they can get away with “yuck mouth,” as a Threader called it. Not true.

4. Unattractive smells. This can mean not showering often enough or not embracing . This is also related to #3 (see above).

5. issues. Either overgrown or over plucked. We don’t want unruly, caveman hairs, but we also don’t want you to look more sculpted than we do.

6. Too much . If everything you touch starts to smell like your , that’s not good.

7. Too much waxing. There’s grooming and then there’s grooming. No one wants to feel like they’re with a newborn.

8. Dry, cracked heels. You can put lotion on them, you know.

9. Hair that never moves. If your hair is as hard as a car door, you’ve got to rethink your products.

10. Letting your blackheads live on. Everyone has zits, especially in the hot and sweaty summer. But, jeez, if you have blackheads on your face, deal with them or book a facial where someone else will.
