Tip 7: Wear perfume, but not too much "I think the biggest mistake a girl can make is to go overboard with her perfume. If I wanted to hang out in a department store instead of go out on a date with you, I would," said one guy when asked what his biggest turn-off was. Many men feel the same way about perfume. They like to smell it on a girl, but hate to be bowled over by it. "I want to still be able to smell you," insists one man.

One application trick a reader recommends: "I spray my perfume in the air and walk backwards through it, because most guys smell you when they hug you, when their head is near your back."

And which scents do guys love? Our readers say these two hands down:
Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy Eau de Parfum, $65
Estee Lauder Beautiful Eau de Parfum Spray, $80

Nice info but I'm not going to wax anything and I probably won't do the hat either. But nice to know what they like!

This was a nice article, but it contradicts some of what the other articles on here say.

Interesting, but honestly not going to change anything about what I do.

Very interesting.

Does anyone else think it's kind of funny that this article says guys like a girl in a baseball hat, and the "looks men hate" article says they don't? I'm pretty sure it's the same photo on both articles, too. ;) (Just goes to show that no advice is truly universal...)

I can only agree with a few of these tips. My advice ... never try too hard. Be yourself, and let YOUR real beauty shine through.

not everyone can afford regular bikini waxes, a bikini wax can be as much as $50 from what I\'ve seen in colorado
