How to make Girlfriend Jealous

Jealousy is indeed a delightful emotion to watch. How we love to watch our girlfriends fuming with jealousy when they see another pretty lass holding our hand or taking us shopping.

Your girl maybe feeling miserable, but to see her that way is a pure sinful joy. And if you are looking for some ways to fodder her jealousy pangs, read on:

1. Get Closer... to the ‘Other Woman’

Come on, you can afford that much risk. Just hold her hand, not in a romantic gesture though. Just make a ‘see you’ promise to her while cupping her hands and watch your girlfriends eyes fixed forever on that little shake of hands. Let the questions barge in now!

2. Compliment Someone She Hates

Yeah, this might sound like taking it too far, but where is the fun in NOT taking it too far? You are making her jealous on purpose. You can be bad. You can be evil.

3. “Woo! What a Hot Chick!”

How many times have you almost uttered these words when you are with your girl, and then stopped yourself right there on the edge? This time round, just let the words flow. Make sure you utter these words loud and clear while you are ogling that hot chick at the places you meant to ogle in the first place.

4. Flirt With Her Best Friend

That’s the first thing you thought of, didn’t you? But then, the ‘what will she think’ questions started bothering you soon enough. She will think exactly what you want her to think, and don’t worry about her friend, she too will enjoy the attention. Best would be to inform her in advance of your intentions. That way you have to worry about one thing less.

5. Hang Out With Other Girls

Go a yard further. Hang out with other girls a more frequently than you usually do. And making your intent very clear is advisable. Who knows, you may be an unrecognized Casanova, who melts a girl’s heart in just a date!

There are also a number of copy and paste ways to grill her with jealousy but having passed off all the gyan to you, one thing that is worth mentioning is that yours might be a girl who does not show jealousy traits easily. Rather she might retaliate by hanging out with other guys, clicking pictures with them and saying stuff like, ‘oh he is so much fun’. In such a scenario, make sure that jealousy doesn’t drip like sweat from your body.

Sports

Every sportsman is passionate. And every sport has its own uniqueness. A certain dress code needs to be followed while playing a particular sport as the outfits are different for every game that you play.

Note: This is only a look created for the sport; protection gear needs to be worn depending on the intensity of the game.

Cricket

There is no doubting the fact that cricket is the most popular, most watched and played game in our country. Whether you’re playing the game on a cricket ground or enjoying a Sunday afternoon match in your galli, you will have to dress right for it. The gentleman’s game beckons you to come dressed as a gentleman. The best outfit for this sport would be a polo shirt or a woven shirt with a sweater over it. Your essential colour of choice should be white and can be combined later with other colours. That or a V neck sweater with comfortable cotton tracks will make look like one our own stylish cricketers.

Golf 

Golf is a sophisticated sport and your attire needs to match that level of refined superiority. While dressing for a golfing day out, two things need to be kept in mind: keeping your cool and comfort while you’re playing. This means your clothing needs to keep you from perspiration and should be stretchable to keep you comfortable. A perfect pair of flat-front pants teamed with a polo shirt would be ideal for golf. A V-neck soft wool sweater would also look great with a pair of cool shorts or plaid pants.

Tennis

Tennis on the other hand, requires a lot of room for movement and hence, your outfit needs to be loose and airy too. A polyester shirt is good as it keeps the moisture away from the skin and makes sure it does not go below your waistline. This can be paired with chinos that are loose enough to let those legs move swiftly.

Football

For football, you need to get down and dirty! The dirtier this game gets, the more it is enjoyable. So, whether it is played on the beach or a rainy afternoon, be ready to roll over the muck trying to score that goal. For this sport, I suggest wearing comfortable shorts and a jersey shirt that lets air come in. Your shoes need to be strong, reliable and comfortable at the same time- opt for sneakers or football boots.

What to Wear on a Date

As it is often said, "clothes make a man"; especially on a date. When you go on a date, the primary reason is to impress the girl you are going to meet.

 A girl will most obviously prefer a well-dressed guy to one in rags. We, therefore, bring forward a number of ways in which you can dress to impress.

The First Date

It is generally believed that the first impression is always the last impression. Therefore, we think that you should dress to kill. It doesn't mean that you should pick the flashiest of outfit and make her wish she was dead. It is advisable to wear something that reveals a part of you. Choose clothes in which you feel relaxed as the first date situation is sure gonna make you nervous. If you feel comfortable in jeans and t-shirt, wear them but with a hint of elegance.

Day Out

A casual day-out with your date may include going to a cafe, for a walk or a movie. Such dates border more on the fun category. The basic idea for such dates is basically letting your hair down and getting to know your date better. So, go easy on the dressing-up part. for such dates, you can wear a basic leather jacket or a cardigan over a pair of jeans.

Events

When going out for events, make sure you're dressed appropriately. you wouldn't want to turn out looking like a pauper at the princess's ball. Wearing outfits according to the occasion is a significant way of impressing your date. So, for example, when going for a concert, a jeans/t-shirt/converse look would be just rocking enough.

Club

A club is a chilled out place which can give you ample opportunities to impress your date. At the club you can separate yourself from the many others by exuding your charm. A semi-casual look is the best for such dates. Wearing a dress shirt instead of the regular t-shirt would make you look more suave. Also make it a point to wear good shoes as you're gonna have an exhausting night of food, drinks and a lot of dancing.

Dinner

The worst thing to wear on a first date would be wearing a full suit. It is extremely intimidating for a woman. The dressing for such a date should be on the semi-formal front. A neutral dressed down shirt with a bright tie would make you look understated yet classy. Half the battle is won when the outfit is right. With a chivalrous attitude and perfect conversation, the lady will most definitively be swept off her feet.

Credit Card

Once you have realized that it is probably the right time for you to own a credit card, you need to chalk out a plan to manage it accordingly and efficiently.

We give you eight simple and compact ways to manage all your credit cards.

1. Don’t keep on buying one card after another. One should ideally own only one major to-be-used-most credit card.

2. Go for a credit card for which you are not required to pay any annual charges or fees. It should also offer a low rate of interest and a sufficient grace period of twenty to thirty days for you to wrap up payments of new purchases well before they charge you any interest. You shouldn’t ideally go for credit cards that offer annual processing charges. Credit cards offering low rates of interest initially drastically shoot up the rates after a while. You can also access various websites on the internet to get to know about the latest deals in credit cards. One good example is "http://www.bankrate.com" www.bankrate.com.

3. You must make sure that your credit card has been secured by a deposit in the bank. This means that you should be having sufficient money in your savings bank account that matched up to the credit limit in your credit card. A credit card that is secured will help you with flexible and smooth credit card and banking operations, thus leaving you with a healthy credit history.

4. It is advisable to not use your credit card except in cases of dire emergency where you will atleast be able to give yourself sufficient time to gather funds and repay. You should not use the cards for expenses that you can’t write off at that very moment. We just hope your emergencies wont include eating out and shopping!


5. Pay all that you have to along with all the charges well in advance and days before the due date of payment. If you can write off the entire payment, nothing like it. Although if you cant, then just try and pay a little more than what has been fixed as minimum payment so that the interest and other charges remain low.

6. Your credit card is nothing but a loan that you are availing. You must ask yourself before you take out your credit card out of your pocket whether you would actually visit a bank and apply for a loan for the thing you are using the credit card for.

7. You must also deduct your expenditure by the credit card on your purchases you’re your current account to leave you with sufficient amount of money to be paying your credit card statements.

8. Never make use of the cash advances from your credit card except in cases of dire emergencies. You will most probably have to pay some charges for this money with the interest being deducted immediately, at that very moment.

Shirt

Dos and Don'ts of Wearing a Shirt

Looking around in any city, bar, or mall, it has become obvious that many men have not figured out how to wear a shirt properly.

Listed below are simple Do's and Don'ts that will enable a man to make sure he is dressed appropriately, and with a little discipline and work, look good.

DO

#Tuck your shirt into your pants when wearing a sport coat or blazer

#Slim-fit shirts if you’re skinny, have the tailor take sides in on baggy shirts

#Tuck your shirt in at all times, unless the bottom hem is straight and shorter than your hip bone, as is the case with many casual shirts.

#Ensure your shirt fabric complements your tie. Sea Island shirt cotton is very light and works best with pure silk ties. A herringbone shirt weave is a textured style and fine pattern that works best with a thicker woven silk tie. Pima cotton is very lightweight and therefore is complemented by lightweight silk, cotton and linen ties.

DON'T

#Wear a shirt darker than your suit to work.

#Wear the wrong collar size. You’ll know you’ve chosen the right collar size when you can comfortably fit your index and middle fingers side by side between your neck and your collar.

#Clash your shirt and tie. Ensure that your shirt pattern is noticeably different to that of your tie. A fine-stripe shirt looks good with a textured knit tie and a bold stripe shirt looks best with a dark solid tie. A check shirt looks good with a dark solid tie with a subtle pattern.

#Ruin the look by wearing an unflattering collar. If you have a round face, wear a shirt with a point collar; if you have a narrow face, choose a cutaway (or spread) collar and if you have a long neck opt for a high-sitting collar.

Eligible Guys

5 eligible guys who stay single

We all know this guy — or are this guy: in his 30s, affable, attractive, and yet he’s never been in a serious long-term relationship. And as his single status stretches into a third decade, one has to wonder: What’s the deal? Far from being undateable, this guy may simply not be ready to change his independent ways. Or, he may be all too willing to do so — but something’s blocking him. If you feel you may fall into the latter category (or know someone who does), stop worrying about what’s slowing you down and read on to learn about how five types of die-hard bachelors contribute to their perpetually single status and what steps to take to break the cycle. 

The workaholic
For the guy who makes work priority number one, a relationship can seem like a hindrance for which he hasn’t the time or energy. It’s likely that he’s set lofty career goals for himself — perhaps finishing medical school, rising to make partner in his law firm or starting his own business — with personal deadlines (say, by age 35). Take it from Doug, 31, of Washington, D.C.: “My main focus is getting to a point in my career where I am stable and accomplished enough to move on to a job that I really want to do,” he says. “I can’t sacrifice or compromise my career path for anyone yet.”

Reality check: Waiting for the “right time” isn’t the solution, according to Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of DSI: Date Scene Investigation. “This guy needs to understand that life doesn’t start when he schedules it,” Dr. Kerner points out. And it needn’t be a lonely climb to the top: rather than derail his career, a supportive mate could provide stability, encouragement and an attentive ear. And for the guy who is working to become husband material, consider this: 91 percent of women in a Match.com survey reported that they tend to fall in love with a moderately successful career person with a balanced life rather than a very successful workaholic. 

The partier
For this guy, weekends in Vegas and hitting up the newest parties and clubs has too much appeal to entertain the possibility of settling down. Says self-described “committed bachelor” Sean, 30, of Brooklyn: “I go out to have a good time — mingle, dance, have fun — and not to meet someone.” 

Reality check: As the Seans of the world mature, they may notice that their party-hearty peers are becoming fewer in number or that the average age of his social circle — and of his dates — remains constant as he ages. Another warning sign? More numbers in his cell phone for “friends with benefits” than those belonging to actual friends. The bottom line is, for all the fun of casual encounters and late nights out, a partier would do well to understand that a committed relationship has its own joys, too — even excitement and novelty. “These guys are adrenaline junkies, and they fear that a commitment to one person will be no fun,” says Dr. Kerner. “But really getting to know one person in a relationship can be a source of passion and adrenaline, too.” 

The shy guy
It’s a fact: Meeting women requires conversation — which can be problematic for a shy guy and can stunt his relationship prospects. “I go out with the express purpose of meeting people, but I hardly ever screw up enough courage to talk to strangers,” admits Alex, 31, of Raleigh, NC. “Even if I do, I wuss out and leave before I get anywhere.” 

Reality check: Rather than forcing social behavior in a high-stress situation, like at a loud nightclub, shy guys may be better off searching for potential mates who share the same affinities. “The shy guy doesn’t have to walk up to someone cold,” says Dr. Kerner. “Instead, he should put himself in situations that present opportunities for easy conversation.” Dr. Kerner suggests theater clubs, team sports or anything else with expectations for regular participation, like volunteering. Or, if you do start dating someone, suggest making it a double date or an activity date, thereby reducing the pressure of a one-on-one outing. 

The too-picky guy
For all his many, many first dates, this guy is resolutely single, never having met anyone who quite fits his mold for the ideal mate. He is convinced that there is someone out there and is alternately determined to find The One or frustrated by his inability to do so. Says Andrew, 30, of Scarsdale, NY: “It’s impossible for me to compromise. I can’t settle for someone who doesn’t attract me physically, emotionally, intellectually and so on.” Compounding this inability to compromise is the belief that perfection in another personal really exists — a notion that could lend itself to fantasies of discovering love at first sight. “A guy with impossibly high standards may fall for someone, but then he’ll see this person’s flaws and imperfections and become disappointed,” says Dr. Kerner. Unfortunately, this can lead to discounting potentially great matches, as the picky guy may be unwilling to give a date with, say, a tendency to use emoticons in emails or “too short” hair a chance.

Reality check: What these guys need to accept is that no one’s perfect — and include themselves in that statement. And, in Dr. Kerner’s opinion, “There is no such thing as a soul mate,” he says. “Rather, it’s the journey of building a great relationship over time that leads to a ‘soul mate’-type of closeness.” So the next time you’re iffy about a girl, give her more of a chance before you write her off.

The none-of-the-above guy
Of course, there are guys who might not fall into (just) one of these categories, who are comfortable with themselves, outgoing and trying to meet someone to share their lives with — but for whom it just hasn’t happened yet. Guys like “chronically single” Greg, 30, of Boston, explains: “I’m ready to give my heart to someone and to do some hard work to find her, but I have yet to find that person.”

Reality check: Keeping adages such as “Love happens when you least expect it” in mind may not totally assuage feelings of “What the heck is going on here?” Suffice to say that this still-single guy is not alone — and won’t be for long if he keeps an open mind, gets active in organizations that provide opportunities to meet others and gives luck (or some effort) a chance to work. “Regardless of his circumstances, the important thing for a single guy in his 30s to do is to put himself in situations where he’s meeting women — whether it’s making time to join in activity groups, dating online or signing up for singles’ events,” says Dr. Kerner. So, single guy, keep your chin up and continue taking those leaps of faith into the dating pool. Sooner or later, you’ll find someone who sees you for the catch you truly are.

Shaving Brush

The shaving brush is probably the most neglected piece of grooming equipment in your bathroom. You probably dip it in the mug of water you used for your shave, remove visible lather and leave it alone.

In case you haven't noticed, your shaving brush is basically animal hair. Unless you're using a cheap nylon-hair brush. Anyway, by not thoroughly cleaning your brush, you're doing two things -

1. Applying chemicals from your last shave onto your face

2. Reducing the life of your brush.

Your brush exists to work with shaving cream and hot water to create an awesome lather to shave on. To get started, rinse your brush, root to tip (you'll find some old cream-good in the root. hang it out upside down in your shaving brush stand to drip-dry the leftover water in the bundle of hair that is your brush. If you don't have a stand ( I don't), put it in sunlight.

Putting it inside your bathroom cabinet immediately after a shave may cause mildew - it IS natural hair.

Cleaning the Shaving Brush: Inventory

A bit of vinegar (a pinch)

Detergent powder (another pinch)

A glass of water

Step 1: Cleaning your shaving brush

Rinse your brush under running water.

Step 2: Lather up the brush

Now rub in the detergent like a shampoo into the hairs of your brush.

Step 3: Soak

Put the soaped up brush inside the glass of water to soak for a minute.

Step 4:Rinse and repeat

Wash the brush again, removing all lather.

Step 5: Vinegar

Put the brush back in the glass, with clean water. Put in a good-sized pinch of vinegar. Let the brush soak in the vinegar water for a minute. Stir it a bit now and then

Step 6: Rinse and shine

Rinse out the brush.

I advise soaking the brush in water to soak out any residue + a bit more running water.

Now air out the brush - everyone can afford sunlight.

When should you clean the brush?

Hard water requires you to clean the brush more often. So does the use of shaving cream over soap (faster residue build-up). It also depends on how efficiently you clean out your brush when after you shave.

Casual rinsers should get the vinegar and detergent out when they notice any build-up near the brush - and this also depends on how often you shave.

Sexiest Asian Man?

Ranbir Kapoor:

According to a recent survey by Eastern Eye, a London weekly, Ranbir Kapoor was voted as the ‘Sexiest Asian Man’. The actor created much controversy after two actresses talked about his numerous affairs on national television.

The others who made it to the list were RnB singer Jay Sean, Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar of Tere Bin Laden fame, champion boxer Aamir Khan and X-factor finalist Zain Malik Here are men we think could have won the title.

Hrithik Roshan
He popularised the bearded look post the movie Kites. His dance moves make us swoon all and scream sexy! We can’t get enough of his good looks (and dancing style) ever since Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Oh what we would give to be serenaded by Hrithik in a deserted island (wink)!

Ali Zafar
This singer who shot to fame with his song ‘Sun re sajaniya’(2006), stole hearts of many college girls. He was in the limelight again when he made his debut in Bollywood with Abhishek Sharma’s Tere Bin Laden. His boyish charm and carefree attitude sure make this actor adorable. And with that thousand watt smile, we surely think he could be the ‘Sexiest Asian Man’.

John Abraham
Though John’s topless torso in a pair of teensy shorts (recall Dostana) was so last year, we request him to take-of that shirt once again. Yeah, just for your die-hard fans John! After all, this hunk has the attitude and body to carry off almost anything. And that stubble, those dimples with messy, curly locks…Drool, drool, drool!

Abhay Deol
This hatke actor vowed us in Dev D and charmed us in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye. Aisha may not have done well in the box office, but we enjoyed watching it because this is when the bad boy turned good (hehe)! That Abhay Deol smile and a bindaas attitude make him the right contender for the title.

Vijendra Singh
This champion boxer has made us proud by winning medals at different sporting events. He won the bronze last year at the World Amateur Boxing Championships. This year he won the bronze at the Commonwealth Games and a gold medal at the Asian Games. Not only that, this stunner even walked the ramp for Rohit Bal at the HDIL Couture week in 2008 and rocked it on the ramp too.

Who do you think should be the ‘Sexiest Asian Man’? Leave us a comment and let us know.

Men 'always look at women's assets first'

It may appear vulgar, but a new survey has revealed that a man looks at a woman's assets in his first glance, rather than her face.

Men 'always look at women's assets first'

In the survey, half of the male respondents have confessed that they look at a woman's assets even before they look at her face. And, four in 10 men have admitted they look at women's assets at least 10 times a day.

Men from Newcastle are the most likely to sneak a peak at a girl's cleavage before looking them in the eye, the poll of 1,000 adults has revealed.

What's more interesting is that the survey has found that many women have even admitted to checking out other girls' assets up to seven times a day, the 'Daily Express' newspaper reported.

Nine in 10 women look at their rivals' assets, with almost half admitting to having "breast envy" towards friends or work colleagues, the survey has found.

More than half of British women are also unhappy with their breasts with 63 per cent wanting bigger breasts, while almost half of men think their partner's assets are beautiful and wouldn't want them to change them in any way, according to the survey for cosmetic surgery firm 'Transform'.
