Surprising things that women are attracted to!

What makes men attractive to women? Most guys think they know the answer to this question -- which is why they do things like work out, wear cologne, color their graying hair and wear deodorant. But you may be surprised that some of the things guys try to cover up or get rid of are actually the things women are attracted to. Here are five surprising things that women are attracted to.
Gray Hair: Many women agree that gray hair makes guys look more suave and experienced.
Sweat: Who would have thought that women would like to see a man sweat? And in fact, a man's sweat emits a chemical that can drive a woman crazy.
Scars: These markings of fibrous tissue always come with a story and women love mystery.
Houseplants: Guys who take care of houseplants are instantly appealing to women.
Eyeglasses: They don't seem to carry the nerd stigma anymore.

More Mr. Mom's?

Being a stay-at-home parent is no easy job, but still more and more fathers are willing to give it a try! In fact, more than half of 1000 working dads surveyed said they would stay home with the kids if their spouse earned enough money to supposrt the whole family. While the majority of stay-at-home parents are still mothers, the number of stay-at-home dads, or Mr. Moms, is on the rise. Today, 12% of stay-at-home parents are fathers, compared to only 4% back in 1986.

What to buy Dad for Fathers Day?!

How about a cologne that smells like BBQ? There's a new fragrance out there from the guys at "Pork Barrel BBQ" called 'Que'! It smells like smoked meat and sweet summer sweat! LOL! One of the designers says the idea was pretty basic: When people get their barbecued beef, one of the first things they say is, "Wow, that smells good." So they bottled it and will sell it. A 2-ounce bottle will set you back $25, but shipping is free!

Pork Barrel BBQ first hit the national scene on the ABC show Shark Tanki. They struck a deal, and have been promoting their business ever since. The company has 3 award-winning sauces and now the so-called 'fragrance'.

Smile - it does the body good!

Today is Smile Power Day!! Researchers say a smile can work magic. It can heal emotional pain and remove physical pain...really?!

That one simple smile has the power to calm fear, insecurity, hurt and anxiety! So SMILE :)

GETTING A HANDSOME STRANGER'S ATTENTION - Whoo hoo!!

We all fantasize about a mysterious stranger taking notice of us. But if this were to happen, would you know what to do with the attention?

YourTango.com came up with a list of ways to get a handsome stranger's attention ... without being so obvious that you scare him away.

A few of their tips include:

Hold his gaze. If he looks at you, try and engage him in a long gaze for about 3 seconds. This won't be enough to scare him, but it will let him know you're interested.

Don't hide your nerves. If you're little flustered by this, don't try and hide it. It's endearing and you won't try to overcompensate in any awkward ways.

Forget him. If he doesn't come over to you at this point, he's not for you and if he does, get cracking on the sparkling conversation!

This is definitely an "Awe" moment! A little boy catching his first fish!! Check it out!

iCloud?!

Apple is going to the clouds! Next week the company's chief executive Steve Jobs will break from his medical leave to introduce iCloud, a new service analysts believe will allow users to access music, photos and videos from their libraries over the Internet on multiple devices, without the need to sync those devices.
Apple recently signed contracts with most of the major music companies paving the way for a cloud-based iTunes. Amazon and Google recently launched similar services, but Apple's is expected to be superior - of course!
