Opposite sex, opposite views.....

ANNOYING FEMALE BEHAVIOR (Lemondrop.com)

Wearing skintight black leggings as pants. Certain intimate contours of your body should be a precious secret between you and your lover (and gynecologist).
Twirling your hair. Is that supposed to be cute? Because if so, here's a news flash: Unless you're 3 years old, it's one of the most inexcusably annoying habits in the universe. We'd rather date Sinead O'Connor than suffer through a relationship with a chronic hair-twirler.
Using the phrase "mani & pedi." Let's forget the wrongness of having some poor Asian woman slaving over your cuticles. The expression itself? Not cool. It makes dudes retch.
Smoking. Sure, it's a crap habit for both genders, but there's something especially boner-crushing about female puffers. Also: it'll make your lips look like a cat's anus by the time you hit 30. Forewarned!
Pretending you're Carrie Bradshaw. Everyone has sex! Tons of people live in the city! But unfortunately, your mundane bedroom escapades don't deserve their own beloved HBO sitcom. Put the Cosmo down, take a deep breath, and start over.
Believing that knitting is sexy. You're shooting for that Tina Fey 'hot nerd' vibe when you whip out the crochet gear. But guess what? It makes us think of sex-starved librarians who own too many cats.
Buying thongs. Unless you're a stripper in New Jersey, these shouldn't have a place in your wardrobe.
Getting tattoos. Ink should be reserved for men -- preferably men who are members of biker gangs, bass players in punk bands, or who have killed people in prison.
Pretending to be lesbians when you're drunk. Unless you're prepared to go the full Ellen, you forfeit the right to hump your girlfriends on the dance floor. "Tequila made me do it" will not hold up in a court of law.
ANNYONG MALE BEHAVIOR (AllWomenTalk.com)

Empty containers: Men have a habit of leaving empty containers everywhere but in the trash! This starts when they share student accommodation, and have to replace anything that they finish.
Leaving hair in the sink: Whether they are shaving, or malting, they never pick their hairs out of the sink, in a silent revolt against having to look clean and respectable.
Using ten cups, instead of one: It just defies male logic to use the same glass when they can get a clean, sanitized one for each drink. This leads to a sprinkling of dirty glasses all over the house, and no clean glasses when you actually need one.
Selective hearing: Well we've all experience this one, so the best way to cure it? Drop some bombshells when you think he's no longer paying attention. "I'm pregnant" tends to work wonders! After a few shocks, he's sure to get the hint and stop his mind wondering.
Not doing housework: This one will be slightly tougher to solve, so try negotiating. Agree that if he runs the Hoover around once a week, you'll greet him from work with a bacon sarnie, or let him watch the rugby without interrupting.
Burping and farting: The easiest way to solve this one would be to adopt the habits yourself, but if your much too ladylike for that, remind him that you'd be so much more likely to seduce him if he could be discreet.
Absolute helplessness when sick: Man flu is alive and prospering in men these days, so when he gets sick, expect him to need the same treatment and attention as a child.
Channel surfing! Take the remote control away from him, or threaten to cancel the cable subscription.
Wearing the same old thing over and over: Many men have the strangest attachment to some weird looking old piece of clothes they just wouldn't let go off. It might be old sneakers or a terrible T-Shirt with an offensive message.

How to pick out men's jeans.....

HOW TO PICK OUT MEN'S JEANS: Men's Health gives some advice so you don't end up getting ridiculed like President Obama and his "Dad jeans."

The perfect pair of jeans for you: The perfect blue jeans are the DNA of a man's casual wardrobe. They take the million random possibilities of style and organize them into a coherent system. So pick a classic pair, like dark denim. They're versatile in a way well-worn jeans are not. Indigo jeans are cool with a plain T-shirt and sneakers, but clean-cut enough to hold their own with a dress shirt and tie or a casual blazer when occasion calls. Choose a pair that fits low on your hips (below the navel), and make sure they're straight-leg or boot cut. (The tapered look repels ladies.)
How to get a pair that molds to your body: No pair of pants looks better on a man than blue jeans that were stiff and dark when they came home from the store and have been softened and sculpted and battered against his body by life. Buy a single pair that starts out looking like something Potsie wore on Happy Days. Over time, they'll mature into your favorite pair. Hers, too.
How to tell if your pair is too baggy or tight: I call it the anatomy test. If I--or you--can see any of your frontal anatomy through your pants, they're too tight. If we can see any of your gluteal anatomy above your jeans, they're too loose. Please leave the extra-baggy jeans for rappers, skate punks, and Weight Watchers commercials. And trust me, no one wants to see a man in tight jeans. Ever.
How to make jeans go with everything: Blue jeans, which by rights ought to be casual, have evolved into the ultimate in flexibility. Used with wit, they can work in many different situations. For example, though in most venues you shouldn't wear blue jeans (casual) with shiny slip-ons (somewhat formal), there are certain urban, art-gallery moments and late-summer cocktail-party-on-the-deck situations in which jeans and fancy loafers are okay, assuming of course no socks are involved.
The jacket to wear with jeans: The full-denim outfit is a little too country for most gals. Instead, add a buttery suede or leather jacket.

Afternoon Pick Me Up Giggle

Funny People is the new film by Judd Apatow with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, etc.

Looks dee-liteful! Funny and heart-wrenching. These characters are so real, like guys I've known my whole life that are so funny they should be writing comedy and just as flawed.

Rihanna's wardrobe malfunction on purpose!

RIHANNA partied in Las Vegas over the weekend . . . in an outfit that brought to mind JANET JACKSON'S "wardrobe malfunction" at the Super Bowl in 2004.


--She wore a suit jacket . . . with NOTHING underneath. But she wasn't technically topless . . . because she had sequin-covered stars over her nipples.

Butt Shapes

WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE SHAPE OF YOUR BUTT SAYS ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY???

This is going to sound completely ridiculous, but there's a "psychic" in the UK named Sam Amos who claims she can tell certain things about a person's personality using something called "rumpology" . . . just by the shape of their BUTT. (???)

--So what does the shape of YOUR butt say about you?

#1.) If you have a Round butt: It means you're open, honest and sincere.

#2.) If you have a Heart-shaped butt: It means you're emotional, helpful and easily hurt.

#3.) But if you have an Upside-down-heart shaped butt: That means you're moody, shy, self-deprecating and probably a loner.

#4.) If you have a Flat butt: You're confident, professional and a good dresser.

#5.) If you have a Shelf-shaped butt, meaning your butt sticks out a little bit: It means you're active, you like to work out, and you're health-conscious.

#6.) And if you have a "Boyish" butt . . . which means slim hips combined with a butt that's flat and barely even there: It means you're happy-go-lucky, fun and really confident. (Sun)

Want to add 10 years to your brain's life?

ADD TEN YEARS TO YOUR BRAIN’S LIFE

• Give your BODY a workout. Studies show that people who are more physically fit perform better on mental tests – compared to people who don’t work out at all. That’s because vigorous workouts help pump more blood to the brain, which brings more oxygen to the cerebral cortex.

• Raid your spice rack. A study published in the Journal of Neurochemistry identified seven so-called “mind spices” . Those spices are cinnamon, turmeric, basil, oregano, thyme, sage, and rosemary. In fact, an acid found in rosemary alone has been shown to reduce stroke risk in mice by 40%. So five times a day, sprinkle a teaspoon of one of these spices into your coffee, tea or food.

• Eat more fish. One-third of your brain is made of those same fatty acids found in fish! They’re loaded with omega-3s which help lubricate brain tissue, and help nerve cells communicate with one another faster.

• Have more conversations. A new University of Michigan study found that people who talked for 10 minutes before a test performed better than those who kept quiet. Social interaction helps sharpen brain function - because you’re constantly trying to process new information while gauging other people’s responses! So a quick trip to the water-cooler might be the perfect way to warm-up your brain before diving into your next budget report.

Hot Dog Eating Champ

So much for the morning after.

A day after setting a world record by downing 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes, Joey Chestnut was ready for some pizza.

"I'll probably get one slice, maybe a couple, see how I'm feeling," said Chestnut, 25.

Chestnut headed for Sally's Apizza in New Haven late Sunday afternoon for his first meal since winning his third straight victory at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island. Still, it wasn't all smooth sailing, even for a man famed for his iron stomach.

"I was feeling pretty rough all day yesterday and most of the morning today," he said.

Chestnut, of San Jose, made it out to the West Side Highway to check out the Fourth of July fireworks display with friends and family.

"Now that I'm out and about, moving around, I feel a lot better,"
