Women are More Attracted to Men Who Drive Expensive

Research conducted by FindsYouCars.com has revealed that when it comes to buying a new motor, men are prepared to splurge a massive £5k more than women.

With psychologists proving that women are more attracted to men who drive expensive, flashy cars, it’s no surprise that they are splashing out a third more than the ladies on their ultimate passion wagon.

On average, men will spend approximately £14k on their next car in comparison to women, who appear to be the thriftier sex, paying a more modest £9k.

Men have also been proven to be the fussier sex when it comes to buying their next motor, with 67% resolute and pernickety about what they’re looking for. This makes men twice as picky as women in the car department, with men from London being the worst offenders, followed by those in the Midlands.

In comparison, it appears women consider their next car as a more functional item rather than an extension of their personality. Just a third are fussy about the specifics of their next motor, with ladies in the North East being the least picky of all.

It is assumed that while men are looking for larger engines and impressive brands, women are more concerned with comfort, space and colors. The online car ‘find engine’ for consumers, analysed 500 car buyer requests from September and found that BMW topped the charts as the most desired car brand for men with Volkswagen winning the women’s vote.

Whatever people are looking for in their next car, will help find the car, quickly and securely, without them having to do the legwork themselves. Buyers simply specify the car they are looking for on the free site, along with any specific requirements (make, model, age, mileage, price) and the find engine then matches their request with its established network of over 5,000 registered UK suppliers who have a suitable car.

This saves people conducting lengthy online searches, sifting through thousands of irrelevant search results and ensures results are 100% tailored and personal.

Add More Spice to Your Love Relationship

Maintaining a relationship is as much the man’s responsibility as it is the woman’s. It’s a two way street, as they say. Some men seek excitement outside of their relationship without even bothering to shake things up within the relationship. If you find yourself wondering about a “gorgeous hottie at work” for too long, it’s time for a reality check – focus on the woman who is already in your life and bring back the spark by following these helpful tips.

• Understand her point of view

Often men complain about their partner not making the first move, neglecting the way they look and focusing more on work or children. The first thing that men need to understand is that women need to do all these things to keep your life running smoothly. After a hard day of work or of meeting the incessant demands of your kids, it is impossible for your wife to look like a “gorgeous hottie” all the time. If you are seeking more excitement in your relationship, there are many things you can do yourself before you start pointing fingers at the woman in your life. Ask yourself what you can do for her, not what she can do for you.

• Sense of humor – The biggest ‘X’ factor

Many women complain about their men returning too irritated or stressed after work. If you find yourself losing your temper too often – it’s time to de-stress. Don’t bring your work tension home, it may be easier said than done, but if you make a conscious effort, with time you can learn to leave day to day work stress at the office. There’s a good chance that your partner was attracted to you in first place because of your sense of humor - if you lose that, you lose your charm. Keep the spark alive with your sense of humor and keep your partner attracted to you. This will ensure a fun atmosphere and sparks in the bedroom are sure to follow.

• Compliments will get you everywhere

There’s nothing like a genuine compliment to make a woman feel good, expensive diamonds and fancy restaurants aren’t necessary. Tell her that she looks gorgeous when she wears that blue dress or when she leaves her hair down, and she will make an effort to get you to notice her good features again. But keep in mind that the compliments have to be genuine and not delivered in an offhand manner. Overtly sexy compliments are good at times as every woman wants her man to want her. A confident woman will feel sexy and good about herself and the positive effect will be seen in your bedroom too.

• Share her workload and worries

If there’s a roast in the oven, clothes waiting to be ironed and kids screaming in the background, it would be unreasonable to expect her to feel sexy. While she is in the kitchen, why not help with the laundry and keep the kids under control, instead of watching ESPN – by the time she finishes her work, you both will have more spare time to do fun things in the bedroom. Stress often hampers a woman’s libido; if you can share her workload and worries, you can easily make her feel more relaxed and sexy.

• Focus on her pleasure

Many men whine about their partner not being active enough in bed, not giving them oral pleasure or not doing wild things to spice up their sex life. If she isn’t initiating more adventurous sex, why don’t you set a good example and get the ball rolling yourself. If she still doesn’t get the hint, talk to her openly. She might resist the idea at first, but with the right approach she will see your point. Also, ask her what she would like you to do while you are at it and then do it like a true gentleman.

These tips are not new, but that does not make them any less true or important. Some of these tips run the risk of being considered clichéd, but it’s likely that any man could be guilty of at least one of these mistakes. If you find yourself saying “Oh yes, I am guilty of that one!” even once, you are well on your way to mending your relationship.

Psychic Love Power

How can you know if psychic love power actually exists? Doesn't your guy always tell you exactly what he's thinking? Is there any way to read his mind and find out if he is communicating his true feelings with you? Actually, you don't need psychic love power to figure that out; simply look for these three signs and his real emotions will be uncovered for you.

There are microscopes that appear from his actions which will allow you to see inside your guy's heart. It doesn't matter if he is trying to keep them hidden; neither if he is trying to deceive you. Actions don't lie - and these are no exception to that rule.

His smile

No guy can fake a genuine smile and get away with it for very long. Just look at his countenance after his favorite team wins a game. Remember it, and see if it matches how he looks when you meet him for a date after not seeing him for a few days. He might not leap for joy and start screaming, but his smile should look similar to the one he had on game day.

If there is no match, you might be the recipient of his fake smile. There might be trouble brewing beneath the surface. Here, psychic love power here is not necessary. He has probably grown complacent with your relationship.

He includes you in his life

Has your relationship been secluded away from his personal and professional life? If you guy isn't introducing you to his work colleagues and family, there must be a reason. A guy who is truly in love will want to show you off to the world and let them know that you're his. Your man will also talk about you positively to others and be your biggest fan.

He puts your needs above his own

If you can honestly say that you've seen your guy go without something so you can get something you want, then you will know he is in love. For example, does he refrain from purchasing new clothes so you will have more money for a new outfit?

It could even be as small as letting you snack on the last Oreo. If you have experienced this type of sacrifice, you have found a man that would be great husband material. Otherwise, you could be in for a lifetime of selfishness to deal with.

Look for these signs, and others, to figure out what he is really feeling and you won't have to rely on psychic love power...deep down you will already know the truth about him.

Clothes Make Sex Hotter

Think the only purpose clothes serve in a sack session is as an obstacle? Don't be too quick to strip — there are naughty things you can do with your threads that'll heat up a hookup.

"Staying partially clad builds anticipation and makes sex feel spontaneous," says Georgia clinical sexologist Gloria G. Brame, PhD. "Plus, you can use clothing and accessories as props to enhance tactile sensations." Try these inventive and tantalizing tips.

Stand behind him, wrap your arms around his torso, and press against him. Then slide your hands into his boxers while kissing the back of his neck.
Give him a long look at you in a bra, panties, and tall boots. The vixenish-sweet combo majorly turns men on.

Blindfold him with his tie. Blocking his sight heightens his other senses, and not knowing your next move will drive him insane (in a good way).

While wearing a silky camisole, climb on top of him and slide your body all over his naked skin.

Let him lick your breasts through a sheer bra, then pull down the straps one at a time to grant him full access.

Whip off his belt, fold it in half, and playfully smack his butt.

Gently bind his ankles together using your bra. When you restrict his movement, you get to be in control and he feels the thrill of being dominated.
Unzip his pants, but don't pull them off. Instead, take his member out of the opening in his boxers and treat him to oral sex. It'll give him a rush to have only this one sexy body part exposed.

Have him place his hands or mouth down south while you're in undies. The fabric is a barrier (amping excitement), and his warm breath will feel amazing.

Roll a smooth beaded necklace over his stomach or up and down his thighs and along his member to give him a soft, skin-tingling massage.

Slip off your panties but keep your skirt on for girl-on-top sex.
Fling open a front-closure bra right before climax. Setting your breasts free will send him tumbling over the edge.

Sit on top of him while he's in his boxers or pants and you have on underwear or thin shorts. Grind back and forth against him for as long as you can, then ditch your undies and have sex.

Don't let him remove his T-shirt during sex. Mid-orgasm, grab the fabric in the middle of his chest, twist it so it tightens around his torso and pull him close.
Just push your underwear aside to have sex. The immediacy of it is hot — like you can't wait to have each other.

Sexual Attraction

Physical attraction may be as old as time, but new studies are beginning to uncover the science behind sex appeal. Unexpected factors -- like biochemical odors, face shape and voice pitch -- just might have more to do with your choice of mate than anyone ever expected.

Karl Grammer and Elizabeth Oberzaucher are leading the research on the human scent's influence on sexual attraction. They've found that when women are ovulating, they produce copulins, a scent that attracts men.

The researchers believe when a man gets a whiff of copulins, his testosterone levels rise. As a result, he secretes androstenone, an odor that repels women who aren't ovulating.

"Bars and nightclubs across the world are the battlefield for this invisible biochemical war," Oprah Winfrey says.

Sex therapist Dr. Laura Berman says attraction has a lot more to do with science and evolution than people might think.

"We are innately all puppies in heat," she says. "We are capable of discerning 10,000 different scents consciously. But then there's a whole realm of unconscious scents that we're not even aware that we're smelling." Oprah.com: Get Dr. Berman's 5 steps to better sex.

These odors let people know when a woman is fertile and when a man's testosterone levels are high, Berman says. As a result, individuals can tell when someone else is most ripe for reproduction. "It's all about survival of the species," she says.

One common complaint Berman hears among women with relationship problems is that they love their partner, but they're not in love with him.

"There is a difference between love and chemistry," Berman says. "Take a really good whiff of him without cologne when he's relatively clean. If that smell turns you on, that's a really good cue of chemistry." Oprah.com: Can the chemistry come later?

In one recent study, Berman says, researchers had women smell men's T-shirts. The women were most attracted to the shirts of men with a different major histocompatability complex (MHC) from them. MHC is a collection of genes that are related to immune systems.

"We unconsciously want to mate with someone who has a different immune system than ours because that helps with the survival of our offspring," Berman says.

The T-shirt study also found that women taking hormonal contraception were attracted to men who had similar MHC as they did.

"If you're on the pill, your body is being tricked into think you're pregnant, so you're not ovulating," Berman says. "The bad news there is that they have looked at these couples who have similar MHC, and not only do they have higher levels of infidelity and higher levels of marital discord, but they also have higher infertility issues."

Another unexpected factor that has been found to directly affect attraction is voice pitch.

Gordon Gallup, Ph.D., a professor at the State University of New York at Albany, says that women with higher estrogen levels have higher voices, which makes them more desirable to men. "When females are midcycle, when they're the most fertile, the most likely to conceive, their voices are rated as being significantly more attractive," he says.

It's hard to pinpoint what distinguishes a gorgeous face from an average one, but some researchers are getting pretty close. Psychologist Lisa DeBruine, Ph.D., of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland says she's found that women's faces get more attractive to men when they are ovulating. "We're not entirely clear why there's this difference, but we think that the women might look healthier, have a bit of a healthier glow when they are ovulating."

Symmetry is another factor that determines a face's attractiveness. Kendra Schmid, an assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, says there is a formula for the "perfect" face. She uses 29 different measurements to determine someone's appeal on a scale of 1 to 10.

To start, Schmid says the ratio of the length of the face to the width of the face should be 1.6, also known as the golden ratio."The face should also be divided into three equal pieces vertically," she says. "The forehead, then [the bottom of the forehead to] the nose and then from the nose to the chin."

Who's face is the most "perfect," according to Schmid's measurements? No big surprise here! "Brad Pitt's is the highest that I've ever used the [formula] on," she says. "He was a 9.3."

Brad's partner, Angelina Jolie, didn't fare too badly either. "Angelina was a 7.67, and that's pretty high," Schmid says. "Most people rate about 4 to 6. ... The thing that is probably lowering her score is the thing that she's most famous for -- her full lips." Schmid says that ideally the width of a mouth should be twice the height of the lips.

Other celebrities Schmid tested were Halle Berry, who scored a 7.36, and Hugh Jackman, a 6.45. "There's never been anyone who was a perfect 10," Schmid says. "If you're out there, we're looking for you!"

Not everything that goes into finding a partner is biological. Researchers have also found that if a woman looks at the face of a man whom she knows nothing about, she will give it a rating on a scale of 1 to 10 that's different than if she is shown the same face and a corresponding income. When a man makes a lot of money, a woman will rate him higher on an attractiveness scale than she would that same man with a smaller income. Oprah.com: What do women really want?

Berman says this isn't a case of women being gold diggers.

"It goes back again to evolution. When we were having babies who were very dependent on us, we couldn't hunt and take care of ourselves, so we were looking for the man who had the most social status, who was the best hunter, who was going to bring home the biggest chunk of meat for our babies," she says. "It's the same thing today."

Smell, voice pitch and face symmetry might be unconscious detectors of attractiveness, but if you're trying to consciously assess the future of a relationship, Berman says there's one surefire way.

"You really learn a lot from a kiss. ... Sixty-six percent of women say they would dump a guy after a bad first kiss," she says. "It's not only because you're getting that good whiff of him so you're seeing if you like the way he smells. All your senses are engaged, and you get a sense of his sensuality, his connection, whether he's a take-charge kind of guy or more of a stepping back kind."

When it comes to relationships, Berman says kissing frequency is a direct indicator of happiness. "It turns out that couples who kiss and cuddle regularly are eight times less likely to be stressed and depressed than couples who don't get that," she says. "You have to have a minimum of a 10-second kiss every day."

5 Secrets to Attract a Person

Want to quintuple your odds of winning in the dating game?
We surveyed a variety of top experts and learned five unbelievably effective secrets to make the opposite sex come running.

Here's how you can use them to work for you:

1. BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION

Want to be the one who gets noticed? Stand in the center of the room. According to Dr. Albert Mehrabian, the author of several books and nationally-known expert in the field of spacial psychology, where you are in a room has a lot to do with your ability to attract the opposite sex.

Where should you be for the highest impact and the greatest number of interested cuties? Smack-dab in the center of the room, standing up and moving around a bit. (But don't pace a track on the carpet for goodness sake...) If you're in a bar or nightclub, the best place to be is at one of the corners on the bar. Not only will you meet more people, but, according to Mehrabian, bartenters tend to gravitate toward the corners as well.

Interesting conversation AND a full drink? You'll feel like you've died and gone to dating heaven. The worst place to be seen? Hanging out near the wall or sitting at a table. That hot stranger approaching your table and asking "may I join you" only happens in the movies.

2. THE COLOR LURE

What color can you wear to compel the opposite sex to approach you?

According to Color Consultant Leatrice Eiseman, Director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of Colors For Your Every Mood, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue. And why wouldn't we be? According to Eiseman, guys who frequently wear blue are "stable, faithful, constant and always there." The blue guy is a fantastic candidate for a long-term relationship -- someone who's dependable, momogomous and can match his own clothes. And what about the ladies? Eiseman says women should wear a pink- peach to make themselves most approachable. The color is "very flattering to most skin tones, it gives you healthy glow," and according to Eiseman, projects "a little vulnerability which brings out something protective in men."

Want to wear a color that weeds out guys who can't handle strong women? Try a deep red, burgundy or plum. Men who aren't attracted to strong women will steer clear.

Of all the colors, red is the most sensual. But, wear red with caution. "Red is the color of sex and power," says Eiseman. Red adds an element of excitement and attracts two types of men - men interested in sex, and men attracted to powerful women. Sure, you'll probably have to fend off a lot of freaks, but you could also end up attracting a guy that isn't threatened by the fact that you make a bigger salary.

Concerned your wardrobe is driving people away? Stay away from what Eiseman calls "squished caterpillar yellow-green" which is said to repel both sexes equally.

3. BODY TALK THAT REELS 'EM IN

How do you use body language to attract the opposite sex?

If you're a woman, the key is to make yourself approachable. According to nationally-respected body language expert and professional speaker, Patti Wood, you want to make yourself a "safe" target. How do you accomplish that? Don't take up a lot of space which is a sign of power and superiority. Wood says, "we are strong women, but remember, we're trying to get a man to come over and talk to us." She explains, "you have to show you have room for someone else in your life."

In addition, Wood says "to be very approachable women should stand with their feet no farther than 6 inches apart with toes pointed slightly inward. " Other key moves, the nod and the head tilt - signal you're listening to what the other person has to say.

For men, appearing more dominant effectively draws the attraction of women. To attract women, stand with your feet 6-10 inches apart, and toes pointing outward. Feel free to take up some space. For men who are victims of the "nice guy" badge, or who appear to be too submissive to attract women, try taking your Y chromosome out for a spin. According to Mehrabian, men should "try wearing bulkier or more conservative hairstyles or clothing," hold your head up, and speed up your speech and gestures to be more assertive.

Body language tips for both sexes: Don't fold your arms and don't chew on gum, ice or your fingernails. According to Wood, the chewing indicates anxiety or frustration, neither of which are very attractive emotions.

4. THE POWER OF A SMILE

Psychology and body language experts agree that one of the most important things you can do to make yourself more attractive and approachable is to smile. Not a great big plastic game-show smile, just your normal "I'm having a great time and I'm happy to be here" face will do the trick. According to Wood, "the smile is the international signal of friendliness."

5. TEMPTING WITH SCENT

Studies show that men associate the scents of cinnamon and vanilla with love. To make the scents work for you, try baking some ready-made cinnamon rolls about an hour before your date arrives, or, wear a cinnamon-vanilla scented perfume. Aromatherapy experts have long-believed cinnamon to be an aphrodisiac.

According to Laura Davimes, aromatherapy and herb expert , and owner of Herban Avenues, "certain aromatic plants exude oils similar to our own sexual secretions or pheromones. Wearing cinnamon/vanilla blends increases the presence of pheromone-like substances and dramatically increases attraction."

The scent of a woman? Women, according to a recent study, are attracted to a black licorice scent. So, be sure to pick up licorice or Good 'n Plenty at the theater snack bar. And, if you're at a club and happen to spill a little Jaggermeister on your shirt, don't worry about the stain, just consider it your lucky night.
