"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."
We know what you're thinking: "of course guys want us to show more skin, duh," but we actually got this tip from the ladies. "My boyfriend goes nuts when I wear a shirt that shows off my shoulders and I apply MAC Strobe Cream, $29.50 to my collarbone and arms. He obviously can't pinpoint what looks different about my skin, but he always admires it," says one woman. Glowing skin is a sign of health, so it's totally instinctual that a man would find this attractive. So go ahead and get your glow on, you'll be sure to turn heads.

Tip 9: Wear a hat
Perhaps the most surprising turn-on we heard many men mention (unprompted) was they love a woman in a baseball hat. It's true! "Guys like a girl that looks like she is relaxed and easy going, and a baseball hat says just that," says one guy. When women were asked if their men preferred them in the laid-back style, they didn't negate what the guys said. One woman said her fiance is always the most turned on by her when she is in sweats and a cap. "I don't get it, but if that's what he finds sexy, then heck, I'm a lucky girl that can save a lot of money on hair products." Looks like we can relax a little on a bad hair day -- and make our guys happy by quickly slipping on our favorite old baseball hat.

When it comes to pleasing a man, sometimes a gal just wants to throw in the proverbial towel. There are so many questions when it comes to what men like and so few definitive answers. For instance, "does he think my red lipstick is sexy or slutty?" or "are my fake eyelashes a turn-on or off?" And these are the easy questions. Trying to figure out what they want emotionally is a whole other issue. One reserved for all-nighter conversations or the therapist's couch (NOT our field of expertise, sorry). The guidance we can give you in the relationship department is strictly beauty related, but every smart seductress knows that her beauty can act as her secret weapon to getting a man's attention and affection. That's why we're sharing some sexy beauty tips that are tried, true and sure to heat things up. No matter what the temperature is outside, these beauty tips will make him melt — see them now.
It's important to remember that what some guys love about the way a girl looks, others guys don't. One thing's for sure: there is no single thing that every guy likes when it comes to your beauty practices. However, there are a few things that are guaranteed to raise the blood pressure of most guys. To find out what those are, we pounded the virtual beauty pavement (by way of Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and asked men and women to nail down exactly what it is that guys like most when it comes to a woman's beauty. And here is what we got: specific makeup looks, secret scents, sexy hairstyles and beauty tips that have made pulses race all over the country.
Before we show you the beauty tips that'll send his temperature soaring, allow a quick obligatory side note: while these beauty tips will make you irresistible, no hairstyle or makeup style can look hot unless you feel confident wearing it or doing it. Feeling uncomfortable in your skin (or makeup or hairstyle) is NOT sexy to any man. A woman has to "own" her style to look sexy — period. With that said, be yourself and try on some of these sexy beauty secrets, but don't blame us when he won't leave you alone.
