What Makes Men Fall In Love

Guys have four primal relationship desires that are sometimes sated by the tiniest of moves by you.

The Desire: To Protect-Give him chances to take charge, and thank him after he does. When a guy associates you with feeling like Superman, of course he’ll want to couple up. These little things can draw out his hero side.

  • Give him a job. Ask him to fix or build you something. Performing concrete tasks is a way of bonding that enhances his sense of success.
  • Ask his opinion. Whether it’s about your 401(k) options or the best travel sites, it telegraphs that you value his brain as much as you do his brawn.

The Desire: Freedom-Even emotionally healthy men want assurance that their identities will stay put after they’ve become half a happy couple. The following moves let him know you’re no ball and chain.

  • Blow him off. Men hate the idea of being tied down socially, so turn down occasional plans. He’ll not only feel easier — and open up more — around you, but he’ll also start to wonder what you’re doing and pursue you more.
  • Share your own fears. Guys often hold back because they think most chicks are baby-hungry ring-hunters. So if you feel nervous about committing, let him know. He’ll be reassured that you’re navigating new waters too, not trying to trap him.
  • Reinvent yourself. Little changes in your appearance now and then — say, hair up in a ponytail one day, down the next, etc. — remind him that you’ve got zillions of facets to your personality too. Read: no rut risks.
  • Respect his privacy. A physical space that’s totally his is a huge symbol of independence to a man. Signal that you respect that by, say, staying out of desk drawers and not peeking at his caller ID when his phone rings.

The Desire: To Shine-Maybe he’s cocky, but he’s still insecure. Guys need to know that they’re respected and appreciated. Here, things that show your high value and nudge him toward love.

  • Make him happier. Laugh when one of you loses balance during sex. Go to stupid movies. Drag him out when he’s crabby. If you can keep things light, even during stressful times, you’ll become indispensable.
  • Be a social butterfly. Guys are good at left-brain stuff, like sales and sports, but can get awkward when it comes to social graces. Take the lead and charm the people you meet and he’ll be extra grateful to have you. But he may take credit for making those new friends...whatever.
  • Play mind games. Activities that require mental prowess — like Scrabble, puzzles, and chess — can prod his passion. It sounds nuts, but proof of your problem-solving abilities subconsciously shows him you’re a desirable choice for carrying on his genes.
  • Act like the grand prize. Seeing you through other people’s eyes reminds him how special you are. Invite him to an event where you’ll excel (whether it’s karaoke or a fun run), or have him stand between you and another man you think is getting too close at a bar.

The Desire: Comfort-When he’s so comfortable with you that he stops thinking about your relationship and simply enjoys it, he’ll find himself nudged into love territory. Take these tips.

  • Let him see you primp. Grooming in front of him enhances intimacy because it’s something other guys don’t get to witness. Just keep it goddesslike (applying lipstick or powder), not gross (bleaching your mustache).
  • Cook together. Being around food spikes oxytocin levels in males. The more often you prep dinner à deux, the more he’ll associate you with the good feelings he gets from eating it.
  • Stock your pad. When buying groceries you don’t have a preference on, get a brand he uses. He’ll subconsciously feel at home at your place. Sleep with him. Catnap near him or let yourself doze off in his arms so he sees you in your most trusting, completely relaxed state.

What Yanks Him Back from the Brink-Some factors can derail a guy who’s about to fall.

  • They Get a New Opportunity-A promotion often means spending more hours at work or taking a schedule-chewing class. Instead of balancing that with their love lives, guys tend to prioritize their careers and believe that a solid relationship will endure the delay. So if something big is brewing, he may hold himself back.
  • You Never Fight-Sure, guys hate arguing, but it’s worse if you don’t react negatively at all when he’s screwed up. A guy will worry that (a) you’re going to lash out later, (b) you’re a doormat, or (c) you’re not into him enough to care. Any of these will make him rethink your budding relationship.
  • Pure Panic-Many men worry that if they commit, they’ll have to give something up — friends, dart night, something. So when a guy realizes he’s fallen for you, he may freak out and pull away for a while. If you can weather his big-baby behavior without reacting in a way that confirms those fears, he should snap out of it.

News Flash...Men Like Bitches

According to a new study in the British Journal of Psychology, while guys do value altruism in a long-term partner, they found it slightly off-putting when they were looking for short-term relationships. "This could be because men fear that altruistic women will be too interested in other things and not enough in them," postulates Dr David Lewis, a member of the British Psychological Society and author of Loving and Loathing: the Enigma of Personal Attraction. "Men are very egotistical and see themselves as the sun in their own world." Which is to say men don't want to bask; they want to shine--and be worshipped. It's more that men like a challenge--and any woman who is seen as particularly kind or selfless doesn't come off as hard-to-get. But when a guy falls in love, his game-playing mentality falls away (and he can appreciate a woman who's sweet).

Did You Know?

The Barbie doll, which first appeared on the world-stage in 1959, was invented by Ruth Handler (co-founder of Mattel) after she realized that her daughter liked to play with paper dolls that resembled grown-ups. Handler suggested making a three-dimensional doll that looked like an adult rather than a child. The doll was named after Handler's daughter, Barbara, and is still produced by Mattel. The doll's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.

Four Things Guys Cant Get Enough Of

  1. Watching You Primp-Your flatiron and eyelash curler look like medieval torture devices to men, yet watching you work your beauty magic fascinates them. But mostly it's the sneak peek into your private world that they find intriguing. So before a date or in the morning, leave the door open and let him watch you transform from wet-haired cutie to stunning goddess.
  2. Hearing That He's Hot-Acknowledge his physical assets with a sexy compliment, a butt squeeze, even elevator eyes, and he'll feel like a stud.
  3. Enjoying The Silence-Sometimes when guys are quiet, it's not because they're upset but that they're happy in the moment — so what's there to discuss?! So resist the temptation to fill your next pregnant pause with a mind-numbing recap ofThe Hills rerun you just saw. Your restraint will speak volumes about your security in the relationship
  4. Giving Advice That You Actually Act On-Guys believe that they have the solutions to most problems. So when you go off about some dilemma, they usually spout our advice. When you actually take those recommendations, it's validation that they know what they're talking about and, most important, you trust them.

Lady Gaga Hair Color Explained

Somehow her most striking looks wouldn't be the same if Gaga stuck to the natural brown she had in her pre-superstar days.That shocking platinum comes courtesy of Aura Friedman, Senior Hair Colorist and Educator at the Bumble & bumble salons in NYC. She does a double process to make Gaga's hair the right shade, which means removing her natural color with cream bleach and then applying a high-gloss dye that actually contains pearly pink, sparkling tones, every three weeks.

Remove Fake Nails Easily

  • Place enough nail polish remover in a bowl so all your nails can be submerged at once.
  • Submerge your fake nails. Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Remove your hands from the nail polish remover. See if the nails are loose. If not, re-submerge them for another 10 minutes.
  • Use your fingers and the nail file to gently wiggle the loosened nails off.
