Yes, you've got the perfect shade of lipstick and the little black dress…but is that all you need? Hardly.
1. A fabulous photo of yourself: We all have that photo: the one where your smile, hair, and (let's be honest) bod all come together in one sexy little package, whether it's that snapshot from your trip to the Grand Canyon or that cocktail party photo where you're dressed to kill. Stick that sucker at eye level on your fridge so your male guest can't help but notice it as he checks out if you have beer (see item #5). What he says: "Is that you?" What he means: "Wow, girl, you're hotter than I realised!" Keep a digital version handy so you can email it to online suitors or blind dates who want a glimpse of the goods beforehand. And never, ever throw it away—when you're eighty-something it'll serve as an instant reminder that back in the day, you were a total dish!
2. A pretty pair of heels: Admit it. You feel like Maria from West Side Story (You feel pretty, oh so pretty…) when you slip on a pair of nice heels. The good news is that these days, you can transform virtually any outfit to make it on-the-town ready by adding heels to a skirt, jeans, cropped trousers, whatever. And no, they don't have to be towering stilettos, even a pair of 1-inch kitten heels will make you stride a little more confidently. (Added bonus: the taller you are, the more fit men you'll be able to see around the room.)
3. An Eminem CD: What's one of the first places a guy peruses when he walks into a woman's home? Her music collection. Good for you if you have an extensive one. But if all he sees is a pile of cheesy girl bands (say, the Celine Dion, Girls Aloud, Joni Mitchell and the Bridget Jones Diary soundtrack), he's going to panic. Balance out your collection with one CD, any CD, by Eminem and you have no idea how relieved he'll be. It shows you have an open mind and aren't easily offended—and that's music to any man's ears.
4. A great chatup line…and a way to turn them down: In this post-chivalrous period, we can't always depend on guys to initiate contact, so prepare thyself with one simple, non-cheesy icebreaker to lay on that cutie who's making his way to your area of the bar. Our favourite: "Hi. Having fun?" (Though a friend of mine has recently taken to asking well-dressed men, "Hetero, homo or metro?") And in cases when a guy initiates contact and you're not interested, better to have a better turn-down than "Ummmm, no…" Our suggestion: "Sorry, I don't think the guy I'm seeing would appreciate it." Sure, it's a lie, but it'll let him down gently—without destroying his ego or making him think you're an idiot.
5. A six-pack of good bottled beer: A prepared single girl is ready to host and toast at any time. If you want to make a guy-guest feel at home and your girlfriends feel special, skip the mass-produced swill and go for the more exotic microbrews.
6. Bathroom reading: What man doesn't appreciate finding interesting reading in his sweetie's bathroom? So instead of tossing out your magazines when you've finished reading them, chuck them into a basket by the toilet. No need to go overboard with a stack of Sports Illustrated (if you're not a sports fan, that would just be weird) but consider The Week or even Cosmopolitan (hey, this may be the only time he's a captive audience and can learn a few things). Or, just buy a book that's made for the bathroom, like Schott's Original Miscellany by Ben Schott so he can learn a few things about shoelace lengths and sign language while he passes the, uh, time.
7. A business card: After the age of 18, it's no longer cute to scrawl your first name and phone number on a napkin and hand it to a man who wants to call you. So if your job doesn't provide a card or you'd prefer one with your personal email address and phone number on it, then have some made. A napkin he can lose. A card he'll file and keep.
8. Earplugs: Ah, there's nothing sweeter than a man who wants to cuddle up with you in bed for a long night's sleep. Unless—SNZZGGHGHRRJJZZZ!—he snores so loudly you can't get any sleep. Prepare thyself for surprise snorers with a pair of earplugs stashed in your bedside table.
9. A straight male friend on your speed-dial: Every girl knows she needs a gay male friend she can go to for fashion advice (a personal Queer Eye for A Straight Guy). But when it comes to relationship advice, you need another source. While your female friends may have good intentions, if you really want to know if you should call that guy, save the guesswork and go to someone who's been there, done that.
10. Protection: Hey ladies, you know the drill by now. If you want to be able to have spontaneous fun of the bodily kind, you have to prepare for it yourself. You can't always count on him to have something in his back pocket—or a 24-hour pharmacy on the route home. (Your new mantra: If you don't want it to break, you buy it.)
I have to say the Cosmopolitan and Eminem CD really wouldn't do it for me.
I wonder what the single guys need? Peaunuts comics?

2. The nerve.

I thought we needed a counterpart:
10 Things every single male should own:
1. A wedding ring. Some birds go wild over married men. It fills them with the thrill of the illicit. Also, nothing motivates a woman as much as the opportunity to get one over on another woman.
2. A well-rehearsed repertoire of funny comments. The dollies always say they go for men with “a good sense of humour”. Of course, when they say this you have to bear in mind a few points: (i) By ‘good’ they mean ‘like theirs’, so you might have to prepare pitifully unfunny funny comments. (ii) They seldom mean what they say. It won’t matter how funny you are if you are physically repugnant. And it won’t matter how unfunny you are if you look like dear old Brad.
3. A baby. I was out with my best mate and his five-month-old son recently and the chicks loved it. They were all over us, even though the brat had crapped itself and stunk (we would have changed its nappy but my mate’s only had the thing for a few months and he hasn’t learned how yet - it’s a good job he’s married otherwise he’d have to pay someone). If women see you being all soft and cuddly with a baby, they usually fail to notice the sexually predatory side to you.
4. A huge bulge in your pocket, which denotes an engorged wallet. How else can you explain Peter Stringfellow?
5. The ability to pretend you are the slightest bit interested in anything they say.
6. A motorbike (and a leather jacket like Brando’s). If you can get one with an airbrushed image of Xena the Warrior Princess on the gas tank, all the better. Hurtling along an open road on a hot summer’s day with the wind rushing through their hair brings out the primitive in them. Though few would admit it, all women love to see a man with a big, powerful chopper between his legs.
7. The ability to use a sophisticated set of criteria by which to judge your pull so that you can regale your mates with the story afterwards (the best part of scoring anyway). This usually takes the form of a scale running from 1 to 10 where 1 means she’s got the face of Laetitia Casta / Heidi Klum and 10 means that she’s got the face of a waxworks pig in a fire, with a body to match.
8. A book of Byron’s Poetry – The fact that he was a grotesque, despicable, club-footed homunculus is irrelevant. Women don’t actually read Byron but they think he’s gorgeous and a great poet of love nevertheless.
9. Cushions – women love cushions.
10. Resilience - above all, you must remember that women are strange creatures. Be patient with her. Give her at least a fortnight. If you haven’t got anywhere by then, move on of course. It’s not as if they’re on ration.
I see you use the simplified scoring method, I am in favour of the more complex multiplier system myself (for those unfamiliar with the system, firstly the scale is reversed with the higher the score the better and then a multiplier is assessed depending on the situation - I will not post the multipliers here, but if anyone is particularly interested in knowing what they are I can let you know).Quote:

Rachel – I share this problem since I am not so tall either. I would say that the number 2 item on the “girls list”, is nearly always the way around the dilemma - unless of course you live in a place where there’s tones of snow all the time – “the pretty pair of heels” can become a lethal threat to your personal safety when it’s icy. You should be okay in BC though since heels pose no problem in the rain (although I suppose they’re none too practical for all the healthy hiking you do out west :p )
Do people take these lists seriously? They seem neither funny or usefull, everyone's got different tastes. The girl's one seems to involve making the girl out to be something she's not. And the Guy's one seems to revolve mostly around getting some by lying.
Some people appear to do so, simon. I think it gives them an opportunity to be pompous. ;)Quote:

Perhaps Chmpman you could take it and just give us a synopsis?
Sorry, no room left. You can manage this kind of class quite well on your own though, especially as you obviously have access to a computer and the 'net. It's probably consistent with those other windows you have open before you now. :DQuote:

Marital rows do not just produce harsh words and hot air - they can harden your arteries too, a study suggests. But the cause of the damage differs depending on your gender, the research by University of Utah scientists involving 150 couples found.
They said arterial disease in women was linked to either partner demonstrating hostility, but in men it was linked to either showing controlling behaviour.
The research was presented to the American Psychosomatic Society meeting.
The researchers studied 150 married couples, with at least one partner in their sixties, who were all paid to participate in the study.
None had ever been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease.
Each couple was asked to pick a topic, such as money, in-laws, children, vacations and household chores - that caused disagreements in their marriage.
They were then videoed while they discussed the topic, watched by psychology students.
It was assumed such discussions were "muted" versions of what happened at home because the couples were being watched.
Calcification
The comments were coded as friendly or hostile, submissive or dominant or controlling.
For example, comments such as "you can be so stupid sometimes" or "you're too negative all the time" were coded as hostile and dominant.
Participants were also given a scan to check for signs of disease.
When the results were analysed, it was found that the wives who made the most hostile comments during the discussion had a greater the degree of calcification, which indicates that plaque is building up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
Particularly high levels of calcification were found in women who behaved in a hostile and unfriendly way and who were interacting with husbands who were also hostile and unfriendly, the researchers found.
However, husbands who displayed more dominance or controlling behaviour, or whose wives displayed such behaviour, were more likely than other men to have more severe hardening of the arteries.
Some couples who were most hostile were referred to marriage guidance by the researchers.
None of the people with plaque build-up were classed as a medical emergency, but some had scores which were high enough for them to be advised to talk to their doctor.
Professor Tim Smith, who led the research, said: "Disagreements are an unavoidable fact of relationships.
"But the way we talk during disagreements gives us an opportunity to do something healthy."
He added: "People get heart disease for lots of reasons.
"If someone said, 'what's the most important thing I can do to protect my heart health?' my first answers would be 'don't smoke', 'get exercise' and 'eat a sensible diet'.
"But somewhere on the list would be 'pay attention to your relationships'."
Strained relationships
British Heart Foundation head of medical information Belinda Linden said: "There is now good evidence that emotions such as depression, anger, hostility and conflict are linked with an increased risk of heart disease.
"This study focuses on how these emotions within a marital relationship might affect people's heart and circulation.
"These emotions can be triggered when relationships are strained, particularly if there are also other problems such as lack of support, or financial difficulties."
She added: "We know that pressures such as anger or hostility can release certain chemical in the body that may increase the risk of heart disease, but we still need to understand more about how this can affect our heart and circulation."

Forget Friday the 13th. Ignore ladders, black cats, broken mirrors and spilt salt. Think instead of today, March 15, and beware.
As superstitions go, being wary of the ides of March is certainly more unusual. Yet the day does have a certain resonance.
In the complicated world of the Roman calender, there were 45 public festivals (not bad compared to the UK's eight bank holidays), as well as the ides of each month, days which were sacred to Jupiter.
In March, May, July and October, the ides fell on the 15th.
The Julian calendar, established by Julius Caesar, gave us the basis of our system of 365 days a year and 366 in a leap year. But for the most part, the Roman festivals of his time have had their day.
The ides of March, however, is one day that continues to appeal, marked because that was the date that Julius Caesar was assassinated in the senate, in 44BC.
Its modern-day memory is thanks, like so many things, to Shakespeare's way with words.
In act one, scene two of Julius Caesar, Caesar asks a soothsayer what the future holds.
Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music
Cry "Caesar!" Speak. Caesar is turn'd to hear.
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Although today the reference will not be understood by everybody, David Ewing Duncan, author of The Calendar, wrote that it was not always so.
A Roman saying "four ides" (meaning four days before the ides) would be just as clear to other Romans as someone saying March 11.
And furthermore, the system lasted 2,000 years, well into the Renaissance, he wrote. This meant Shakespeare could include the line, and expect his audience to know what he meant.
Test of time
However, just four hundred years later, the ides seems set only to survive as a literary and historical reference - in spite of it being the date by which debts (including Caesar's) were usually settled.
Professor Eileen Barker, of the London School of Economics, said it was a shame but the ides probably only had significance for schoolchildren reading Julius Caesar.
"I was thinking about this when I saw what date it was, and I thought no wonder I'm feeling awful," she said.
One significant historical event that fell on the ides of March is, perhaps, worth noting. It was on this day in 1876 that Test cricket was born.
Reason for anyone to beware? Perhaps for the English.
It was against Australia.
So, have you spoken to a man about that list in the second post of the thread? (Point number 9 comes to mind.)
It sounds like band-aid, shallow trend advice. I'm sure you could do better than this from your heart, and not settle for some guy that would seem to fall for such cosmo-bait.

Japan survived a furious Cuban comeback to claim the inaugural World Baseball Classic title 10-6 on Monday. Japan jumped into a 4-0 first-inning lead at a sold-out Petco Park as Cuba's amateur hurlers needed three pitchers just to get the first three outs.
Cuba recovered from 6-1 down in the fifth when Frederich Cepeda's two-run homer in the eighth made it 6-5.
But Ichiro Suzuki's single and a bases-loaded, two-run double from Kosuke Fukudome sealed Japan's victory.
It was only their fifth win in 38 meetings with the Olympic champions.
"This is probably the biggest moment in my baseball career," said Seattle Mariner's All-Star outfielder Suzuki.
"I was always thinking we would need a good event to decide the world's best in baseball.
"We really wanted to win this game today and I didn't even think about the upcoming season.
"I didn't really care if I got injured in this game, that's how much I really wanted to win this one. That's how we were driven to this championship."
Fans packed into sports bars across Japan to watch the game live on what was Vernal Equinox Day, a national holiday.
"I thought my heart would stop," said Kanako Miyake, a 25-year-old ad agency worker. "But we won, so everything's fine."
Japan only reached the semi-finals thanks to Mexico's shock win over the pre-tournament favourites United States.
But they made the most of their reprieve to beat South Korea 6-0 for a place in the final.
"Up until Japan beat South Korea, I didn't think we would make it. But after that game, I finally thought we had a chance," said Shun Kando, 43, a theatre actor.
Baseball is the number one sport in Japan but has seen its popularity come under threat from football.
"I think that this win may bring Japanese young people back to baseball," added Miyake.
The final provided a fitting finale to an experimental 17-day, 16-nation competition that proved hugely popular, attracting 737,112 spectators to 39 games.
"This is a game that will go down in history," said Cuban manager Higinio Velez.
"This is the first Classic, it was the first final game of a Classic. Japan won and we congratulate them for that.
"They deserve these words of congratulations for the way they played, the courage, the type of game they played."

By Matthew Sakey
Men lie. Women lie as well, but it doesn't seem like they do it nearly as often. And while it's easy to dismiss dishonesty of any kind as wrong, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that, while not necessarily excusing the deception, at least put it into some context. Remember, though, that there are at least as many reasons that men lie as there are men, and like those men, some reasons are good, and some are not so good. Take a look at a few of the more common reasons for deception:
1. He didn't want to hurt you Lying to protect someone's feelings is probably the closest thing to a "good lie" there is, with the exception of lying to protect national security. Men have been known to modify truths if those truths would hurt someone they care about, and in some cases, the victim of the lie can appreciate it as a kindness. "I will lie to spare her feelings if I can," says Marcus, 29. "In a way, I don't even consider it dishonest... it's a matter of doing something kind versus doing something right. That's a difficult choice."
2. He didn't want to hurt himself Ah, the classic "the truth would have embarrassed me" argument. Falling into the "nice try" category of excuses, a lie that protects the liar's feelings is a lot worse than one that protects yours. "I can't think of a single reason to lie just to spare my own feelings," says Tony, 38. "I suppose I've done it occasionally, but protecting yourself at the expense of someone else is wrong."
3. He said what he thought you wanted to hear Men are not the most astute readers of feminine desires, and sometimes they will tell a fib because they believe that you'd rather hear an untruth than something potentially hurtful. "I have occasionally defused a fight by saying something she wants to hear, even if it's untrue," says Bryan, 30. "It's not something I defend, just something that seems right at the time."
4. Some things are best left unsaid Occasionally, men will lie to protect a secret that is either not your business, would cause trouble if revealed, or both. The old "cover-up" comes in two types: a lie to conceal some wrongdoing, like cheating, and a lie to conceal something else, like the fact that he, too, used to be a woman. "Even close couples occasionally have secrets," says Peter, 29. "The fact is, not everything is everyone's business. Some sleeping dogs should be left alone."
5. He's an idiot Sometimes there is no excuse. Sometimes men lie, for whatever reason, and there's just no defence. Frustratingly, such men are often adept at concealing themselves, so you must trust your heart and instincts when you sense deception. If a man is habitually dishonest, he's probably not worth your time.
Cicero once said, "So great is the power of honesty that we esteem it even in an enemy." While lies can spare feelings, offset trouble and protect secrets, the fact is that honesty is an unassailable fortress, even if the truth sometimes hurts. You must take deceptions as you take your men: on a case-by-case basis. When you've been lied to, trust is in doubt forever, but can also be regained with a lot of hard work on both sides. Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself.

A line from U2's 1992 hit One has been voted the UK's favourite song lyric. The line "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" came top of a poll of 13,000 people by music channel VH1.
The song reached number seven in the UK chart when it was originally released, but a new version featuring Mary J Blige recently went to number two.
A lyric from The Smiths' song How Soon is Now? came second in the poll, followed by a line from Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.
A call from Bob Marley to "free our minds" in his Redemption Song came fourth, with Coldplay's hit Yellow in fifth.
Memorable moments from Eminem, Robbie Williams, The Who, Radiohead and Marvin Gaye were also in the top 10.
John Lennon's Imagine did not feature in the top 20 despite coming top of a similar survey in 1999.
The top five lyrics in the VH1 poll were:
1. U2 - One. "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers."
2. The Smiths - How Soon is Now? "So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die."
3. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us."
4. Bob Marley - Redemption Song. "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds, have no fear for atomic energy, 'cause none of them can stop the time."
5. Coldplay - Yellow. "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you."
