Top ten things men love about women
Ever wondered what blokes talk about when we're not around? Here's your chance to find out. iVillage and AskMen.com have joined forces to reveal what's really on men's minds
Most men really, really like women. That may seem a bit like saying water is wet, but it's true. If there is a God, men should bow down and thank him for blessing them with such beautiful creatures in the opposite sex. Of course, they usually aren't shy about showing their gratitude: they tend to turn into slobbering piles of putty when a woman does just about anything. It's not always the scandalously mini miniskirt or the cleavage-baring V-neck that does it (and this is by no means a call to outlaw these wonderful things). Instead, it's often the little, innocuous actions and displays that have the biggest effect on men. Read on for the top ten little things a woman does that drives men crazy.
1. She goes for the heart through the stomach
All that fluffy talk about the sensuality of food contains morsels of truth, especially when the sweaty, apron-clad woman making it is doing so purely for his benefit. And it won't just be the kitchen that'll heat up if they start feeding each other with their hands. So they should eat up and enjoy. If he thanks her the right way, he might even get out of doing the dishes.
2. Her nipples stand up, and she lets them show
Jennifer Aniston's permanently erect nipples were one of the only things that made watching Friends tolerable for dutiful boyfriends. Breasts are like ice cream sundaes to men, and the mind-blowing hint of hard nipples isn't just the cherry: it's more like the whipped cream, the chocolate sauce, the chopped nuts, the caramel sprinkles, and the cherry on top. They're a sneak preview of what lies beneath, and they fill men's heads with delicious imagery.
3. She gives him the look
Most blokes give just about every girl they come across the cursory once-over, but when that gaze is returned with a sultry, suggestive look, let's just say it immediately causes a tingling sensation 'down there.' With one such subtle glance, all the built-up stress and tension of the hunt is released. It confirms everything that was hoped for and gives the green light to swoop in for the kill. And nothing is hotter than that.
4. She puts on lip gloss
Women think men love the soft, shiny lips that result from wearing lip gloss. In reality, we just love watching them put it on. In fact, why hasn't someone made a three-hour DVD devoted to girls applying lip balm, lipstick or anything else of that ilk? The head slyly tilted back, the mouth just slightly agape, the eyes closed - what isn't sexy about that image?
5. She dresses down
Give any girl a platinum card and six hours in front of a mirror, and she'll end up looking fantastic. But the real test (along with the real turn-on) is how a woman looks without designer jeans or make-up. If a girl can look downright hot in her laidback duds, it speaks to her natural beauty and shows that she has the capacity to be low maintenance. He can keep his Calvin Klein- and M.A.C-aided diva; they'll take the casual cutie with her hair tucked into a bun, bralessly wearing a worn-out shirt.
6. She talks blue out of the blue
No one likes a potty mouth. In fact, it's kind of a turnoff when a girl drops nonstop F-bombs. But when a normally prim and proper young lass loses herself in the moment and lets something downright nasty slip from her mouth, it can crank the heat up to dizzying levels.
