How can a guy dress more sexy?

oxit — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:19:46 -0800

How can a guy dress more sexy? Being a guy I have a good understanding how women can dress more sexy, but for myself I have little clue. How do I dress more sexy for the opposite gender?

I have a decent wardrobe of things that I bought specifically for their looks and I do actively combine them so that they fit together and I supposedly look good. Still I wouldn't say it or I ever look sexy or hot.

If this is a stupid question, because (1) I already do look sexy, or (2) I have to behave sexy instead or (3) ... feel free to let me know, also.

A cute bra in a large size?

leesh — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:48:25 -0800

Does anyone know where I can find a bra with a super cute and girly pattern in a larger size? Last time I was at Target, I saw all these super cute cotton bras with patterns--stars, butterflies, rainbow dots, whatever (like this one or this one from Victoria's Secret. Those are not the best examples, but clearly I don't know where to look!) Anyway, few of these bras are sized above a 34 or 36 C, and none are in my size. So where can I get a cute bra (probably intended at the 15-year-old set, but I don't care) in a larger size (38D or above)? In my experience, larger size bras are generally staid in terms of color/pattern.

Note that I am not looking for sexy/lacy/whatever, just cute and fun.

What are some good, fun, little Internet surprises? More like this, less like Goatse. Little things you can make and send to a stranger/acquaintance/friend/lover/imaginary Internet person. Some things I use for this purpose are someecards.com and the above puri site. I'm always looking for more.

Key features:
* Free or for a nominal fee
* Surprising, inspiring, creative, fun, silly
* Not necessarily romantic

Yes, I can draw something in Paint and attach it to an e-mail, or take a picture and send it to someone, but I'm looking for something a little more unexpected. I feel like I've seen threads like this in AskMe before, but I can't find any of them!

Cute Seagull?

47triple2 — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:50:40 -0800

I need the cutest seagull picture ever. My sister took a picture of "a really cute seagull" and I need to prove that there is a picture as cute as that one (if not cuter) online. I don't have the original photo though. :(

foxy?

What animal has made a den in my barn? In the last couple of days some kind of animal has made a rather large tunnel from the outside of my barn into the interior of it. I went in today to get our mower and heard what sounded like little pups in this giant hole in our barn.

Pictures of the den here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40246657@N05/

We're located in southern indiana. My wife seems to think it's a fox. For a week or so prior to this we've had a problem with animals getting into our garbage. I don't know if that's helpful or not.

What is this animal in my barn and should I be helping it?

Busytown After Dark

Does anyone have any information about this adorable, satanic image? I'm asking for my husband- he found it on the Live Journal feed and now he's obsessed with it. And who can blame him, it's the cutest Satanic ritual I've ever seen.

A picture says 1000 words; A manatee Tshirt says 3.

jstarlee — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:09:29 -0800

Looking for a manatee-themed t shirt for a female friend. Cuteness overload is NOT a concern! I have a friend who is absolutely in love with manatees. Her birthday is coming up so I would like to give her a manatee-themed t shirt as a birthday gift. Budget is ~$20 (+shipping/handling) but willing to spend a little more for a really good/adorable design.

Thanks in advance!

Shirts and Prints that go Squee!!

wo — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 21:34:33 -0800

Seeking cute apparel/prints for online purchase, in the vein of boygirlparty and Nut and Bee :) Hiya! I'm looking for some cute shirts, or possibly even prints/stationery. I couldn't resist the octotee from boygirlparty, and there are some prints that make me squee inside. I also have Moo cards featuring art from Nut and Bee, and I am looking very forward for their shirts in the coming months. (Squee Exhibit A, B, and C.)

Can you recommend any other sites with similarly cute artwork/clothes for sale? The common theme I am seeing so far is happy smiley animals. Especially octopuses. This isn't a requirement, but it seems to work! Thanks! :>

Disclaimer: I am a hetero male and can only pull off so much cuteness. (i.e. I'm not exactly looking for Hello Kitty-type stuff.) Also, if you recommend Threadless for t-shirts I will politely decline and then proceed to give you the evil eye. ;)

Let's display some affection!

SillyThingsThroughTheMailFilter: my temporary job is a couple hundred miles away from my other half, and I'm looking for suggestions of fun packages I could send him. We're both into computers, science, BDSM, socialism and making things. Don't get me wrong, I visit him about monthly but hey, I like the man. Cute gestures of affection from a distance are fun, let me hear your ideas!

Tiny wide shoes?

debbie_ann — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 18:01:47 -0800

Do cute 5.5 wide shoes exist? I have little tiny 5.5 wide feet, and currently own only shoes from SAS. They are extremely comfortable but far from fashionable. Payless also makes my size, but they are too cheap to be worth it. Otherwise, as far as I know, wide shoes start around a 7. I tried buying bigger heels and stuffing the toes with wool, like a ballerina, but found my toes slipping out. I can also occasionally squeeze into a girls 3 (born) as children's shoes run slightly wider.

Is there any place that makes CUTE 5.5 wide shoes? I daydream about colorful heels and trendy ankle boots but would gladly settle for some nice well-fitting maryjanes & loafers.

Is it possible to really fall in love after knowing someone for only 5 days?

chrisinseoul — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:47:09 -0800

Is it possible to really fall in love after knowing someone for only 5 days? Cute, slightly sappy, and true story to follow. I'll start with the basics - me: 26, male, American teaching English in Seoul, South Korea, been in Korea for 5 months. She (I'll call her J): 22, female, American teaching English in Seoul (perhaps 10-15 minutes away by bus), been in Korea for under a month.

So a little over a week ago, I put a craigslist ad on the Seoul site seeking a NON-Korean lady. Nothing personal, nothing racist, but just not my cup of tea. J responded with a wonderful, long e-mail about herself and her life. After the obligatory e-mails to ensure the other wasn't a serial killer or a creep, we met, walked around, sat by the local river (the Han, for those of you familiar with Seoul), and before long I held her close. She's naturally shy / reserved, but over dates #2 and #3, she began to open up. I saw a side of her - a weird, slightly dorky side that I have so much in common with - that almost instantly took her from a 'possibility' to 'OMG I'm falling in love'. Date #4 (making dinner and hanging out at my apartment) confirmed things. I feel it important to note that I can read her like a book - and after sharing quite a bit, I feel more comfortable with her than anyone else I've ever dated (which is about two handfuls with a couple of fingers left over, for the record).

From the first meet / date #1 to today, it has been exactly 5 days - and I'm falling in love. We haven't gotten to the 'I love you' stage, but the 'I really really like you's' have been said. We're both on the shy side of the spectrum, so opening up has taken some effort for both of us. We've both been in relationships, had our heart broken (in amazingly similar ways), and moved on. We have all the usual stuff in common (age, relationship past, interests, life stories, personalities)...

The big question: is it too soon? We've got time, and we're not going anywhere. I'll be seeing her around and spending time with her - hopefully for a long time to come. We're also in no hurry... but damn it feels good to be around someone that understands me in a deep way. Here in Seoul, the foreigners are scattered far and wide - we're 50,000 out of 10,000,000 - and it's so nice to be with someone that gets me.

Help me find this silly Peanuts/Snoopy comic strip!

melorama — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 06:16:13 -0800

I'd like to track down a specific Peanuts strip from my childhood memories, but I have no idea how to search for it. There was once a Peanuts strip where (IIRC) Snoopy came across an unattended box of crayons or something, and proceeded to draw the silliest pictures with them. One of the drawings I distinctly remembered was a picture of a cat sitting down on a fence with his back facing you, and a big goofy tail and whiskers sticking out from behind its face.

My Google-fu isn't really working for this, and I was hoping that some Peanuts aficionado could point me to a specific page number in a Peanuts collection/compilation book where I can find this strip.

What cute/pointless web things are out there where visitors to your page/site generate RSS feed entries simply by visiting? Example inside. I'm having a bit of fun with "My Mini City". If you visit that link, it will generate a timestamped event with the description of "A new inhabitant has come to Kris' Haven.", which it will also add to an RSS feed, which in turn has a link back to the page. Currently I'm using TwitterFeed to forward the event through to Twitter (max 1 per day), which I'm hoping in turn will encourage people to visit the page. And then a daily digest over my Twitter posts gets pushed through Livejournal using LoudTwitter.

It's all thoroughly pointless, but for whatever reason I'm enjoying it. Does anyone know of any other similar sites where mere visits result in (controlled - no free text entry) items being added to RSS feeds?

The mouse chose to run down the drain instead of being bitten again. Repercussions? Advice?

nobody — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:36:45 -0800

My cat brought a small mouse home from outside and was playing with it in the bathtub. I went over to rescue it before things could become violent. Things did get violent and, unable to climb up the sides of the tub, the mouse just scurried into my shower drain. What are the repercussions? Is there anything I should be doing? The mouse was quite small, a bit smaller than the drain opening even without any squeezing on its part. Looking into the drain I see there's water there, its level less than an inch below the surface. I can't see the mouse, but I'm not sure if I would even if it were still there right below the surface? Do shower drains tend to have u-pipes? Will the mouse drown right there? And then fester? Is it probably crawling through the pipes? Is there anything I can do, either to help the mouse (it sure was cute! standing up on its hindlegs to face the kitty, then resting a single front paw against the side of the tub to balance itself) or to deal with any unhygienic repercussions? For what it's worth, I rent the apartment and I'll most likely be here for the next couple years. And as far as I know the building doesn't, at least as of yet, have a mouse infestation. Thanks.

My wife is looking for a 'Cute' cellphone - This is obviously something I'm not having a lot of luck searching for on Google. We're trying to stay under $200. Good reception and user interface, GSM preferred. I don't mind undoing subsidy locks, and reserve the right to punch anybody who says 'iPhone!' in the arm.

these boots are made for walking?

mustcatchmooseandsquirrel — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 16:08:48 -0800

Where can I find affordable and cool looking shoes that I can walk in? I need either tall boots or shoes! With the following criteria:

1. No heel, low heel, or really comfortable heel. I can't really walk long distances in heels (especially pointy or tall heels) and am already tall.
2. Comfortable for walking. I walk everywhere. Including up steep hills.
3. Cool or cute looking. I think thatBobbi Blu and Irregular Choice shoes are adorable but not the most comfortable.
4. Affordable. I don't want to pay more than 70 dollars or so and even that is pushing my budget.

What suggestions do you have that would fit? Being able to walk in them in any sort of weather is probably the most important. My shoe size is usually 9.5. I have comfortable tennis shoes already but they look silly with skirts.

What's the cutest $50 thing in the world?

symbebekos — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 05:56:06 -0800

What's the cutest thing in the world? I'm looking for a birthday present for a friend and am a little bit stuck. I want the cutest, most adoreable thing possible; my only condition is that it not be alive - no puppies or baby chicks. Any ideas?

Help me look at good looking women without guilt.

convex — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:58:14 -0800

Why do good looking women make me nervous and guilty when looking at them? I have been noticing that speaking or interacting with a good looking woman makes me nervous as hell. While if they were average or even ugly I don't get nervous! Even looking at a woman in a certain setting, makes me guilty if she was good looking, but if she was average I don't have a problem.
It is almost like looking at a disfiguered person, I try not to look in order not to make them feel bad. Same guilt comes to me when looking at a sexy or cute woman! Maybe for different reasons that I don't know.
Is this something common or a well known behavior? And how do I get over it?

Suzuki Forenza "Elevator" Commercial?

WCityMike — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 10:30:34 -0800

I was riding in an elevator at work when I saw the Suzuki Forenza commercial "Elevator" come on. I'd like to get a copy of the commercial ... ... but I don't see it on YouTube or Google Video. I don't see it on the two locations people recommended to me when I was looking for a commercial before, TVAdVideos (which now seems gone) or AdRag. I'd nevertheless love to get my mitts on ~~her~~ the commercial. However, if a video is completely unavailable, stills would do. (Sorry, but she's purdy in her cycling outfit, h'yuh h'yuh!)

Extra points if it's in a format other than AVI, FLV, or WMV, which my Mac doesn't always appreciate. (It completely chokes on AVIs, FLVs only show in a uber-nasty UI "FLV Player" (I can't get ffmpegX to convert them), and Flip4Mac WMV doesn't like Intel Macs quite yet.)

CuteCoupleFilter: What little things do you do for your SO? Fairly new relationship and SO is spoiling me rotten; cooking, cleaning, other general pampering. Not to complain about it, but having never experienced this before I'm at a loss as to how to reciprocate. I'm not much of a cook, he insists on doing all the cleaning, and we're not gifty people. He knows that I appreciate it because I tell him daily, but I want to do more than tell him. I'm trying to come up with some little things, gestures and such to do for him. This being such a thoughful and creative group, I thought I'd throw it out there; what do you all do for your SO's?

How can I transfer messages from my digital answering machine to my computer?

weapons-grade pandemonium — Tue, 30 Nov 2004 20:49:05 -0800

I've saved some cute messages from my kids on my digital answering machine. I'd like to clear the machine, but save them on a CD or my hard drive without losing too much quality. What format would they be in, and how could I best make the transfer?
