Want To Impress A Woman? Make Sure You Polish Your Finer Points

You probably already know that ladies have an eye for details. Men, not so much. In fact, we polled almost 1,000 women to find out which details men often miss in their daily grooming regimens—and found out that most guys are barely skimming the surface. Here are the top offenders and tips on tackling each one.

HAIR: Draw the Line
What you're missing: You sculpt the front of your mane with the scrutiny of an IRS auditor, but the head hair you can't see could cost you: Three-fifths of women say wayward fuzz sours desire.

Why she notices: Sloppy neck hair can make you look instantly disheveled, says Michael Moreno, a stylist at Chris Chase Salon in New York City.

Groom to improve: Define your back forty with a 5-minute DIY clip job once a week. Remove the guard on a pair of hair clippers (MH pick: Wahl Chrome Pro Complete Haircutting Kit, $60) and lift the hair at the base of your hairline with one hand so that the roots of the regular locks are protected by your index finger. Keep the blade head horizontal to your neck and, working from the bottom up, follow your natural hairline. Don't buzz on faith; check your progress with a hand mirror. Winging it isn't good enough, says Moreno. "You have to see what's going on back there."

FACE: Dig Deeper
What you're missing: A third of women say men don't care enough about their complexions.

Why she notices: "A man's pores are about 25 percent bigger than a woman's," says dermatologist Kenneth Beer, M.D. That means bigger blackheads can form on your nose.

Groom to improve: The plug's black color isn't dirt; it's the oxidative response of the oil in the clogged pore interacting with air. A daily wash is not enough to evict the more subtle squatters. "Bar soap won't cut it," says Dr. Beer. "Instead, pair a daily salicylic acid-based cleanser to exfoliate the skin with a weekly clay mask to purge impurities." Try MenScience Microfine Face Scrub or Lab Series Skincare for Men Oil Control Face Wash.

BREATH: Tame Your Tongue
What you're missing: Even mildly stinky breath can be a dealbreaker for more than half of women.

Why she notices: You think a Tic Tac will suffice in a pinch, but her nose knows better: Some research has indicated that women can be more sensitive to scents than men are, so they may be more likely to detect even subtle mouth odors—bad news for suitors with less-than-fresh breath.

Groom to improve: Attack the tongue; it's where many halitosis cases stem from. "Most people don't think about their tongue when they're taking care of their teeth," says Kevin Sands, D.D.S., "but it harbors bacteria." Brushing your tongue will remove 40 percent of the offending volatile sulfur compounds, according to Brazilian researchers, but better yet, use a tongue scraper (like GUM Dual Action Tongue Cleaner, $3) and you'll remove up to 75 percent of the bad guys.

TEETH: Even Out the Edges
What you're missing: Unevenly bleached teeth are a bigger turnoff than an off-white shade that's uniform across your smile, said women.

Why she notices: Even minor deviations in color can amplify the contrast between the shades.

Groom to improve: Coverage is key; strips and fixed trays don't adequately cover your teeth, missing the crevices in between. Choose an at-home whitening kit with custom moldable trays, which will help evenly distribute the bleaching chemicals for consistent coverage. We like the Rembrandt 2-Hour Whitening Kit.

SANYO Stick Booster

2009-11-16T21:38:00.000-08:00

It seems as though everytime they add another great app that my battery life gets shorter and shorter. This should hopefully take care of the problem.

This handy power source comes with a USB port that allows you to juice up a whole lot of gizmos including your iPhone/iPod or or other mobile devices.

Martin Emila's Media Chair

2009-11-08T20:53:00.000-08:00

If you liked the idea of the Sound Egg but not so much its aesthetics, say hello the Martin Emila's Media Chair. It's the same idea: a comfy chair set up with speakers focused right at your head, but one that looks a lot classier. You know, without all that sound-dampening foam stapled in there.

With the Media Chair, you get to pick the color of the chair itself as well as the color and pattern of the fabric of the seat. At least, in theory, as this is just a concept. Which I guess, in the end, gives the Sound Egg a leg up. Being real and all.

Tundra Midnight Rider Tailgater

The Midnight Rider Tundra Tailgater was developed through Toyota’s partnership with Brooks & Dunn. Inspired by the music duo’s large truck-devoted fan base, Toyota wanted to push the boundaries of bed utility and capture the imagery of the truck trucker. When you slide out the tailgate, exposing a BBQ grill, beer tap, ice chest, 42″ HDTV and Kicker sound system. The sound system features a dual subwoofer system and a separate amp, four two-way speakers with tweeters and separate crossovers, and dual two-channel amps with separate equalizers and speaker control units.
