Match.com has a list of ten things men want to know about women: Is she insecure? Does she talk incessantly about past relationships? Does each conversation eventually loop around to stories about "all the guys" she's been with? You'd be better off staying home and watching the game. Is she one-dimensional? If your date can't stop talking about her job, graduate courses or latest workout plan, you'll be looking at your watch and feigning an illness within the hour. Art house or frat house? What books and movies does she like? If she wrote her dissertation on Chaucer and you spent the majority of your academic career passed out on a beer-stained sofa - she may not be the girl for you. Do her a favor and move on. To dance or not to dance? Believe it or not, this is a major point of contention. If you're like me and the idea of getting your groove on leaves your knees trembling and palms sweating like a nervous schoolboy, either find a girl who values ...

What you do during the first 15 minutes after you first wake up in the morning could make your day successful or sabotage it. That's the word from productivity coach Hillary Rettig, author of "The 7 Secrets of the Prolific," who maintains that most of us are freshest and most energetic in the early morning hours. And it's all about time management, even at 5:30 am. "Good time managers value ever smaller amounts of time. Those first few minutes of your day -- both at home and when you get to the office-- are vital," Rettig tells Entrepreneur magazine. How can you make the most of this precious, early-morning time? Rettig advises the following: 1. Do not go online. It may feel automatic to turn on your phone or computer and check email and social media before you've even had your first cup of coffee. Don't do it! You may intend to spend only a few minutes online, but that can easily turn into an hour or more, something Rettig calls "getting sucke...

Getting mad lowers stress Used to be that getting mad was blamed for all kinds of health woes, from raising blood pressure to bring on a heart attack. But now scientist say blowing off some steam offers health benefits. Researchers learned that people who give in to their angry emotions actually reduce any negative impact brought on by the situation. Getting angry increases blood flow to the part of the brain that's involved in producing positive feelings, while keeping your emotions bottled up produces more of the stress hormone cortisol. What counts is keeping your level of anger in perspective.

Your eyes stay open when you sneeze  You chew on other people's fingernails  The song you love the most goes like this, "The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup"  You're so wired you pick up radio signals  Your name is Mike, but people call you Buzz  At your last annual physical, you broke your doctor's stethoscope  Teeth whitening strips don't stand a chance  Your vanity license plate says: Jitter-Bug  You have a picture of your coffee mug... on your coffee mug  You ski uphill  When your wife asks what you think of her new hair-do, you say, "I like it a latte'."  You feel fine, but co-workers think you have Parkinsons Once upon a time you loved NASCAR and hockey, but now they're too slow  You've done 5 miles on your treadmill before you discover it's not turned on  You don't sweat... you percolate  You don't tan you roast  You don't get mad... you get steamed  You named your cats...

The Beckhams Renew Wedding Vows at Home. David Beckham has revealed he put his marriage woes behind him by renewing his vows with wife Victoria in a secret ceremony at their home. The couple's wedding was much less flashy than their first, as they invited just six guests to celebrate with them. David made the revelation during an interview with BBC Radio 4's "Desert Island Discs" show. The bash was a huge change from their first wedding, which was a lavish affair in Ireland attended by hundreds of famous faces. David, 41, admitted he and Victoria, 42, have suffered a number of problems since they tied the knot back in 1999. But the couple has managed to work through their issues and are now happier than ever. He insisted they decided to renew their vows as a sign of their ongoing commitment to each other. David said: "We did throw a lot at it (the first wedding). We have renewed our vows since then and it was a lot more private, there was about six people there i...
