Pigtails are awesome. Not only do girls look totally hot wearing them, but Willie Nelson rocks them on a regular basis.

[Excerpt From Deadspin]

It's Friday night and you're on the prowl (except you're not actually using the term "prowl" because it's kind of lame). You may have spent three hours perfecting your 'do so that it appears as though you rolled right out of bed and always look this effortlessly tousled, but the real issue is: Have you spent any time considering the vibes you definitely don't want to give off to members of the opposite sex? With the vast array of dating personae an ordinary guy can adopt on any given night, it can be tempting to transform into what you believe to be the ultimate version of yourself. This can be great when it means upping your chivalry factor just a tad and offering a cute girl the envy-inducing bar stool you snagged, but it can also very quickly veer off into "not so great" territory, and this should be avoided at all costs.

Your mother used to tell you that you could be anything you wanted to be when you grew up. We're not here to discourage that motivational thought process, but we are here to give you a few helpful hints on the male archetypes that most women will steer clear of so that you can steer clear of them as well. Battle of the sexes be damned -- let’s get on the same side! Here is a list of four guys she won’t date.

The BlackBerry Business Buffoon

Some believe this type only exists in the world of Entourage, but rest assured, the "Ari Gold times 10" model is alive and well on the Wall Street scene. He can be spotted by his sleek suit (he was torn between Burberry and Dolce), trendy pink shirt and tie (the ladies love pink!), and the ever-present smartphone attached to his hand. This category comes along with a very important divide, however: those who actually are this type and those who just desperately try to be. This is distinguishable by whether the main reason for his BlackBerry is actually an insane amount of "urgent" work e-mail or simply just to check his fantasy baseball scores. Which is worse? We're not sure. Either way, the world gets it: You have a job and are at least mildly successful. There’s no need to shout it from the rooftops. Success and ambition are most attractive when they’re expressed subtly -- unless you're trying to attract gold-digging chicks. If so, carry on -- you’re now one of the four guys she won’t date.

The "I don't watch TV" Guy

You think it makes you sound intellectual and unique. In fact, it makes you sound just a wee bit pompous with a slight undertone of dishonesty. Everyone watches TV. It's true that women don't want a guy who sits in front of the tube all day long with his hand down his pants a la Al Bundy, but we also don't want a snobby, Gucci-glasses-wearing "society boy" who makes us feel bad for reading Eat, Pray, Love. Intelligence is sexy, but it's even sexier when you can also spout off a few lines from The Office with us. That's what she said.

"Peacocking" players

So you read The Game and watched VH1's The Pickup Artist. You convinced yourself that if those sad saps can snag a chick, well then, by god, so can you! However, you're forgetting one crucial element: we girls watched The Pickup Artist too. And many of us read The Game as well. Yes, your psychedelic shirt and top hat will make you stand out in a crowd, but it will also make most normal girls point and laugh. We may enjoy your tarot card readings or other interesting prop devices you use to start a convo, but it doesn't exactly make us want to jump your bones. Bottom line: Those "get-a-girl tutorials" make some good points, but most guys in ordinary meet-a-girl situations have no idea how to incorporate them naturally and end up going way over the top with it. The one lesson that always works: Confidence is sexy. Leave the top hat at home.

Nightclub Boy

You may think these techno-dancing dudes went the way of the dodo a long time ago, but unfortunately they are alive and well. These may be the tight-shirt wearing guys you see picking up all the ladies on the dance floor with their electrifying moves. However, what looks like "picking up ladies" to the casual male observer is usually just sexual harassment to the gals. The rumors are true: girls like to dance. And going to a club to meet a girl isn't necessarily a bad idea, as long as you're mindful of certain variables. Do not attempt to snake your way into a group of dancing girls. They do not want you there. In this one very rare case, Dane Cook was right. They want to dance around their pocketbooks and shoes and screw guys for the night (not that kind of screwing). Do not attempt to show off "The Worm" or any other break-dancing moves you learned in college. Leave the glow sticks at home and approach a girl when she's ready for a drink at the bar. If she likes you, chances are she'll find your normal, "non-raving" dance skills endearing.

JUST BE YOU

It all boils down to one simple, cliched fact: Just be yourself. Try too hard to be something you're not (even if it works on Gossip Girl -- admit it, you watch the show sometimes) and the quality girls will see right through it. Of course, if you're looking for quantity, not quality, then we've just offered you a multitude of suggestions on how to achieve your weekend one-night-stand goal. You're welcome!

You can tell a lot about a girl by the style of underwear she chooses.  Is she married?  Is she a money-grubbing whore? Could she kick your butt in a fist fight?  Her underwear holds all the answers.  Unfortunately, there's no solid answer as to how to see her underwear in the first place, but if you manage to get a glimpse, here's what her underwear says about her:

 

Boyshorts

 

 

Boyshorts are cute and sexy, and yet they're comfortable and versatile enough to wear to a slumber party with your other cute girlfriends where you all get into a pillow fight that you videotape and then send to us.  During this pillow fight, the boyshorts girl will be the one who takes it a little too seriously and ends up injuring another girl by hitting her too hard with a pillow or couch cushion, or maybe even a table lamp if she gets too carried away.  This is because girls who wear boyshorts are sporty tomboy chicks, which means that they're basically your dream girl, because they're cute and playful, they can keep up with the dudes in a flag football game, and they can chug a beer faster than you can.  Either that, or they're a fat chick who wears boyshorts because they make her ass look normal-sized.  Here's a quick way to differentiate the two: if she can climb a single flight of stairs without wheezing like Keenan Thompson on a treadmill, then she's the good kind of boyshorts girl.

 

Who Sports It

 

 

Thong

 

 

Fact: a girl who's wearing a thong wants you to check out her ass.  That's why she's wearing a thong.  Y'know how sometimes you wear those visor caps, the ones that are like a baseball cap but without the top?  Well, the reason you wear those is because you're in an environment where it's socially expected that you wear a hat (i.e. - the beach, a baseball game, etc.) but you still want to show off your full head of healthy hair.  Otherwise, you'd just wear a baseball cap, right?  Well, that's exactly how a thong works, too.  She's wearing it because she wants you to see what it reveals.  Some people will say, "Nu-uh!  She's wearing business slacks or a skirt that fits tightly around the hips, and he has to wear a thong with that because otherwise you'll see the panty line through the fabric and it'll look very shitty and unprofessional!"  I have a simple, well-studied response to that argument: BULLSHIT.  She wants you to look at her ass and that's all there is to it, and if she wants us to look at it, then isn't it rude not to admire the view?

Artist Jan Fabre spent four months (with his 29 assistants) gluing 1.6 Million Buprestidae beetles on the ceiling of the Royal Palace in Brussels to create the Heaven of Delight.

Jan Fabre says he began with smaller projects and surfaces to see what him and his team could come up with and the result is this very unusual ceiling decor

Of these 29 assistants, I would have to say that all 29 are virgins wouldn’t you?  Still though, it’s one hell of a ceiling.  Gross, but amazing.

The Wind Up Battery is a rechargeable battery with a little pop-out hand-crank to power up using some good ol' fashioned elbow grease. I'd probably looks like an idiot using it, but better than suffering without a AA.

Designed by Qian Jiang, the concept is actually rather brilliant since it wouldn't require an additional gadget to recharge your batteries and depending on how many recharges it would allow for, it might be a rather good deal too. Since this battery is still a concept, we're a bit skeptical about the claim that it could be fully charged in 20 minutes, but that would be fast enough for most of us. Those of us who haven't got the arm muscles of a noodle that is. [Yanko Design]
