The majority of today's men are more metrosexual than macho. While ladies do appreciate a guy who keeps his nails trimmed and his skin soft, that doesn't men fellas should be spending more on manicures and moisturizer than movie dates. The old school male mystique has seem to have gone by the wayside, but these tips can bring it back, and hopefully bring more romance into your life.

Macho, Macho Man

Women are turned on by strong men who will protect them and be in control. Dress like a man by wearing simple t-shirts and jeans that fit your body. Those sparkly Ed Hardy shirts are for Jon Gosselin and Jersey Shore. Own at least 2 custom fitted suits for special occasions and you'll really impress the ladies. And don't forget your gentlemanly gestures like opening doors and surprising her with flowers.

Speak Sparingly

An important ingredient of the male mystique is learning how to hold back. Talk in short sentences. Answer her question with a question or reply vaguely. Maintain heavy eye contact. It can be tricky to do all this without seeming like a creep or weirdo but it can be done and it works.

Initiate Intimacy

Another trick is to subtlely introduce intimacy. Again, holding back here is key or else you'll appear inappropriate. Playfully tap her arm, rub her shoulder, or anything innocent and sweet that causes physical contact. Whether she realizes it or not, she'll pick up your nonverbal cues and hopefully reciprocate.

Everyone has an embarrassing family photo to two. But when Mike Bender and Doug Chernack created a website where people could feel comfortable sharing all their uncomfortable family photos, they never imagined it would become an internet sensation, much less a best selling book.

AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com receives over 15 million visitors and 6,000 submissions each month. They decided to expand on the success of the website by putting together the Awkward Family Photos book with never-before-seen snapshots and hilarious stories. In the first week out, the book is already listed as #3 on the New York Times Best Seller List.

While they'll have no problem continuing to collect material for future books, Bender and Chernack are also going to start including awkward family videos to their website.

Me-ow my eyes!

Hot Watch: Romain Jerome's Eyjafjallaokull DNA

Specializing in unique, novelty watches such as ones crafted out of steel from the Titanic and dust from the moon, Romain Jerome is set to introduce another incredible luxury time piece. The Eyjafjallajokull-DNA claims to be made from actual volcanic ash and looks like it's melting right off your wrist. The face resembles fiery, molten lava and the hands are meant to look like little airplanes. While this collectible is certainly unique, critics are already complaining that this piece doesn't quite fit in with the brand's other more iconic creations.

Romain Jerome came up with the DNA series to "illustrate the legends of our time and the mythologies that will forge the memory of the 21st century." Will people still remember the Icelandic volcano's eruption and disruption many years from now? Romain Jerome doesn't care. They just wanted to create some media buzz for their brand and hope to make a pretty penny on their one-of-a-kind watches.

In the digital age of photoshopping and airbrushing everything, Kim Kardashian makes a strong statement with an unretouched photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar magazine. While it's not as revealing as her 2007 Playboy shoot, which she now admits she regrets, she certainly still shows off all her curves.

Kim says she's hoping to convey the message that young girls should embrace their curveaceous figures and be proud. Growing up in L.A. among all the blond, rail thin California girls, Kim explains she was very self-concious about her body and looked at Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch as role models.

She reveals how posing nude again was still scary, but it was liberating.

Photo essays about porn stars by Paulie & Pauline

Hardcore porn stars are people too. The new book from photographers Paulie and Pauline exhibit that idea by giving readers a glimpse into the real lives of 10 adult entertainers.

Off The Set: Porn Stars and Their Partners includes over 100 photos in addition to essays written by the stars themselves. They describe the realities of having normal relationships while performing in an abnormal profession. Some of the celebrities include Jesse Jane, Kylie Ireland, Seymore Butts, and Tera Patrick.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that "the stars are shown with their lovers and true loves, in their homes, in bed, fully dressed out on romantic dates, at the corner cafe, wherever Paulie & Pauline saw a moment between real-life lovers that came from the heart. And in the resulting photos, these moments are tangible." Penthouse Magazine says this book "treats porn seriously, and its stars shine when given the chance to exhibit all of themselves, not just the naughty bits."

But don't worry, boys. There are plenty of naughty bits shown in the photos as well. After all, it can't have porn in the title without showing a little porn. Another great reason to purchase a copy is that a portion of every sale is donated to the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, so you can feel good about giving to charity AND helping porn stars stay disease-free!
