How To Attract The Opposite Sex
Tips On How To Get The Opposite Sex Noticing You
Ever wonder why no one ever asks you out?
It might seem like you will never get a date but I am absolutely positive that if you just change a few things about yourself you won't be alone for very much longer.
Here are a few tips that might help you snag a boyfriend/girlfriend.
1. Always look and act your very best.
2. Keep your nails and hair manicured. It is so unattractive when some one's nails are dirty or their hair is shaggy. Always keep in mind that if you think no one notices that sort of thing you are wrong.
3. Always wear clean or new shoes. If I see a really cute guy and his shoes are nasty it is automatically a turn off. It shoes me that he doesn't really care about his appearance and trust me.. If they already look bad and you start to go out with them it only gets worse.
4. If your a girl and you wear open toed shoes in the summer please dear god paint your toe nails. No one likes to look at dirty unkept feet. So gross. Keep new nail polish on them or just put a clear coat. Same goes for the guys.. Make sure your toe nails aren't long and you don't have any foot fungus...
5. Make sure to frequently moisturize. It is very noticeable when you don't take care of your skin. Exfoliate too. It makes you look so much older if you don't apply lotion regularly. Also wear sunblock too!
6. Always smell your best. Wear fresh deodorant, cologne and perfume. Don't put on too much perfume either because that could repel your match too. Make sure you brush your teeth all the time. Nothing is worse than bad breath, so floss every day and carry mints or gum with you.
7. Walk with confidence even if you don't have any. If you don't have any.. you should get some. You are a unique person and you deserve for everyone to know that. There is a huge difference in confidence and and being conceited, so check yourself when you start to get a swollen head.
8. Don't brag about yourself or name drop if you know someone that's important. That is a total turn off. Make sure that you reveal that sort of thing once you have gone out with someone a couple of times. There is nothing worse than someone who thinks they are way cooler than they are.
9. Be the best person that you can be. Always be patient, kind and honest.
10. Try doing something new. If you get stuck into a rut and do everything the same everyday than of course you will never meet anyone new. Join a new sport team or volunteer at the nearest hospital (doctors.. hello!) or animal shelter. Everyone loves someone that helps others.
11. Try new hang outs. If you want to meet someone wealthy go to where to doctors go for lunch or go to a park and sit in the rich side of town. Depending on who you want for a mate is where you will have to start hanging out.
12. Ask your friends what is wrong with you and why you can't get a date. Tell them to be completely honest with you.. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It could be you have a really bad fashion sense or you drink way too much and make a fool out of yourself. Whatever it is don't take offense cause they are trying to help you. It is called constructive criticism. Use it and keep it in mind when you completely overhaul yourself. When you get a complete makeover.. Mind and body.. keep in mind that you still want to be yourself but you just want to be a better you.
13. Keep yourself shaved or plucked. If you have mustache hair and your a girl then please keep that under control. Use wax or depilatory cream and always keep your legs and armpits shaved as it also helps you have more confidence. If your a guy and you look like Santa Clause no one is going to want to date you if they can't even see your face. Keep minimal to no facial hair and after you snag a girl feel free to show her your true colors after she falls head over heals for you.
14. Don't use too much product in your hair! It looks so greasy and people will start to wonder if you ever take a shower. Use minimal gel or mouse. You don't want to look like a porcupine. That is not attractive.
15. Take care of your belongings..
Example: Keep your car washed and detailed - You don't have to have a brand new car to get a mate.
Keep your shoes clean and polished, sunglasses wiped etc. Girls are especially picky when it comes to these things.
Keep your clothes neat and pressed and never leave the house with wrinkles in your clothes. Always look polished.
You may think that some of these tips are outrageous but the fact is you want a mate right? Pay attention to detail because others notice everything. You have about 2 seconds to really catch a potential dates eye, so be on your best behavior. When you get home feel free to be a complete slob but when you out in public be the best you possible.
You'll have a date in no time!!! Let me know how it goes.
Is Carmen Electra Pregnant?
Is Carmen Electra Knocked Up?
Carmen Electra has had her fair share of men. Her new man Rob Patterson is from the rock group Korn. I think he's ugly but she seems to like guys that are mysterious and like to paint their nails black.
Carmen turned 37on April 20th and her finale birthday party was in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Casino for a pool party.
She didn't wear a bathing suit. Which is kind of weird considering that she always wears next to nothing. You would think that she of all people would wear a bikini or something to her own pool party. She was after all a Playboy centerfold.
Now the speculation is that Carmen Electra is pregnant with her fiance's baby. Rob proposed to her last year at her birthday party there as well.
She still looked pretty in a blue sundress with brown strappy sandals. Her blonde locks were very straight and looked like the sun had kissed them. She wore bangles and killer aviator sunglasses.
Carmen has been married twice before. She married Dennis Rodman first which of course was a huge mistake. Then she married Dave Navarro from Jane's Addiction. That marriage broke up after 3 years.
Every time a famous couple does a reality show that is what ends up happening.
Do you think that Carmen Electra is pregnant just because she didn't wear a bathing suit to her own pool party?
Time for the bump watch people!

How To Plan A Fun Outdoor Party!
R U Wanting to Know How To Plan A Great Party?
Summer is very soon and you should throw an amazing outdoor party that everyone will be taking about for years to come.
You and your friends deserve a great time!
To plan a great outdoor summer party you need to have just a few things:
1. Make sure you always plan for rain. Example.. Have blankets or sweaters for your guests if it gets a little chilly and have either funky patterned tarps or patio umbrellas. Even if it's really sunny you can have the umbrellas up for fair skinned people that might get burned easily like myself.
2.Always have ice buckets for when the sun gets to the pop you can just put some ice cubes in the vodka and 7up and your ready to go. If you have a small kids pool then fill that up with ice so you can put everyone's drink in that.
3. You don't have to buy the most expensive things to have a great party. Use what you already have or go to the dollar store. They always have amazing decor for themed parties or even for plastic cutlery to save a bit more money. It depends really on how fancy your getting.
4. Have sunblock, sunglasses, bug spray and lots of water within reach. You don't want your house guests to go home with lots of mosquito bites and dehydrated.
5. Have a great time yourself and try not to run around too much. If the host is running around like a chicken with their head cut off then everyone will be very tense all night. If you are going to have this party plan in advance so you can relax too.
6.In regards to food at your party cook a lot of appetizers. Everyone loves finger food and usually they are already made or it will be as simple as a fruit or veggie tray. Get foods that don't have mayo or anything that might go bad in the sunshine. You don't want anyone to go home with food poisoning. A good place to shop for appy's is Costco. You can buy huge box to feed everyone and it doesn't cost very much. Also clean out your fridge so that people have enough room to put their stuff in there. You can also set up coolers outside or use barrels and put a liner in them and they are perfect for ice and every one's drinks. You can also tell your guests to bring their own coolers if they have 'em.
7. Make up a garnish tray with olives, cherries, toothpicks, celery, lemons, limes, oranges, Tabasco sauce, cherry tomatoes and stir-sticks so it's easy for everyone to get at and they don't make a mess in your kitchen.
8. If your backyard or deck is big enough, set up a kids pool and either fill it with ice and put every one's drinks in there or fill it up with some water so everyone can put their cute pedicured feet in it when they have had a few drinks and need to cool off.
9. Look up some great summer drink recipes and cut then out and put them on colored paper that matches your theme and put them on the kitchen counter. That makes it fun to make the drinks as well.
10. Make it simple! Don't go to crazy otherwise it will look like you tried way too hard. You want to make it elegant than keep it elegant and simple. "Use the KISS method.. -Keep it simple stupid!
11. If you want to make it romantic and beautiful at night time use some candles. Make sure you don't burn the place down. They make these new candles that run on battery and you can buy those at the dollar store and they are completely safe. You can get them in many different colors too. Also those white Christmas lights look good and brighten up the outside. Use pretty lanterns from IKEA or home decor stores.
12. Most importantly don't go over budget. Stick with your price range because everything will be cute when you see it in the store. No one will remember the little details so get the cheaper versions.
13.Make the seating arrangements cozy but not too cozy and on top of each other because it is easier to talk to someone in a more open area. Seating at a picnic table is great or under a cabana. Make sure that they are lots of throws and pillows so it makes your guests feel more at home. Most importantly make sure there are enough chairs for everyone!!!!!
14. Music.. Oh the music... I think it is the most important part of a party .. even before the alcohol. If the music isn't right it will throw the whole party off. Try and pick popular songs that everyone will know. Don't pick slow songs cause it makes people sleepy, unless you want them to go home early. Pick a range of songs so that everyone will be able to hum to a song or two.
15. Send out an email to everyone telling them that they have to either take a cab home if they have had a bit too many or make sure that they have a designated driver. It is important that everyone leaves your party safe and sound.
16. Have a lot of garbage cans around or separate bags around the area for recycling of the cans and bottles. If you have the bins set up before the party then there shouldn't be much clean up at the end. Hopefully some guests will stay a bit after the party to help you but don't expect it and be prepared to clean up on your own. That is why plastic table cloths come in handy because you can just throw everything away.
17. If you have a BBQ.. use it.. Tell people that you have one so they can bring their own meat to cook in case they didn't have dinner or they are picky about their food. Also if you have a fire pit put some graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows and wieners around it for a perfect end to a perhaps chilly evening.
18. If your guests do like to drink then why not get some flavored Vodka and inject it into a watermelon and let it sit over night in the refrigerator. It will be something to cool everyone down and get them tipsy as well :)
19. Also maybe set up croquet or bocce ball so that people can get involved and get to know each other a bit better. It's always a downer when you go to a party and you don't know anyone and you don't put yourself out there to meet people and you just sit in the corner and look around. Get your guests involved so they aren't bored. Don't have too many games or people might get annoyed. Try and have a happy medium.
20. Lastly.... HAVE FUN AND DON'T STRESS OUT!!!!! You have worked hard to make this party great and spent your hard earned money. Enjoy it and have a great time.. Don't forget to take lots of pictures and send them to me at lesliestar@lesliestar.ca
