Snarky message t-shirts
The latest denim jeans on the market
Sky-high shoes
Micro-mini skirts
Revealing tops
Flashy hair accessories

Men are just as likely to suffer 'fat days' feeling less confident about their appearance and suffering from low self esteem.

If you're trying to lose weight, keeping track of how many calories you consume in a day may not help you melt off the pounds.

More than 60% of people have no idea how many calories they should consume per day, according to a U.S. survey, and just 12% have somewhat of an accurate idea.

Calorie requirements vary depending on a person's weight and age, and can range from 1,200 for a small, sedentary woman to more than 4,000 for an athlete who's training.

And that's just to maintain weight, not to lose it. "For dieters, it's crucial to look at overall lifestyle changes, eating fruit and vegetables and having a balanced diet," Jayne Brocklehurst, a dietitian for the weight loss surgery clinic Gravitas, said. "Otherwise, people tend to get bogged down in calorie-counting.

That way, you might lose weight, but your diet can still be unhealthily high in fat." (NY Daily News)

· Nagging will pay off in the long run -- No. Stop nagging and re-train him. Leave his dirty shorts and wet bath towel on the floor until he figures out they don't wash themselves. He's not stupid, only lazy.

· He should enjoy shopping as much as you do -- Never. Men find shopping stressful. But he can be trained if you go "hunting" for only one item. It's like bagging game. And keep shopping jaunts to 30 minutes or less with no browsing.

· Without a remote to channel surf, he's lost -- True. Accept this fact. If it drives you crazy, get another TV and snuggle down with your pet and a good tearjerker.

· They're stupid not to ask for directions -- Wrong. Incredibly, men have an innate ability to find their way without asking for help. But it can't hurt to keep a map in the car. If you're really lost, ask for a potty break and he can get directions without admitting he's up the creek without a paddle.

Guys how much do you know about women? See if you agree or disagree with these statements, then check out the Peases' tips for how you can get along better:

· She wants you to solve her problems -- Wrong. Instead of instructing and problem-solving, listen and be supportive. Believe it or not, women can, and do, figure out solutions to their difficulties. All they need is your support and a hug.

· Women have too many shoes -- Never. Accept it. There's no such thing as too many shoes. Stop counting and find something else to obsess about.

· Women make such a big deal over the toilet seat being up -- True. If you've never fallen into a toilet in the middle of the night, you won't understand why it's such a big deal. The perfect solution is his and hers toilets. If this can't be arranged, be gallant and put the seat down.

· They beat around the bush, instead of getting to the point -- True. Men and women communicate on different levels. You want her to get to the point, and she will -- eventually. Sit back, nod and agree, don't offer any solutions since you don't have a clue and give her a big smooch when she's done.
