How Sexy Are You?
Everyone has some degree of sex appeal. But some women radiate charm, strength and confidence more than others. Here's how you rate on the sex appeal scale. If you're comfortable with your score and your allure-ability, that's great. You can't go wrong with Barry White's Best Love Tips
Sufficiently Sexy
You tend to engage men more with your personality and confidence than with your looks. Not that you don't care about your appearance. You do. But your style is more casual and classy than dressed-to-impress. Men feel comfortable around you, probably because they can tell how comfortable you are with yourself. You draw them in without overwhelming them. That's great, but don't be afraid to act alluring sometimes, too -- not in a trashy way but, rather, by doing your best Sharon Stone impersonation (and we don't mean her character in Basic Instinct). As long as you know when to draw the line and let men see and appreciate your other (nonphysical) qualities, it can be fun to play up your sexuality.
Barry White's
Best Love Tips
Super-smooth recording star Barry White is no stranger to love. His chart-topping tunes have been making women (and men) swoon for decades.
White, who counseled neighborhood couples at age 14, knew years ago what today's relationship experts (not to mention Ally McBeal) are telling us: It's not just the sex -- it's the intimacy. So how does Barry suggest you pump up the romance? We spoke with him to find out. Here are his top tips for adding more love to your life:
Set the Mood
When you want to set the mood, a romantic song is a must. Play one of Barry's five favorites and watch thesparks fly:
-"I Only Have Eyes for You"
-"I Love You Just the Way You Are"
-"Call Me"
-"Betcha By Golly Wow"
-"I Found Someone"
The Way to His Heart
What does Barry suggest when romance is on the menu? Very small portions of a few foods you know your lover likes. On his grocery shopping list:
-Lobster, hors d'oeuvres style
-Salad of assorted baby greens, lightly seasoned with olive oil and vinegar
-Assortment of bread and butter
-Assortment of raw vegetables
-Strawberries dipped in chocolate
Get His Attention
For Barry, a woman is most attractive when she is "well-spoken, intelligent and stylish -- without being flashy" and doesn't overdo the perfume. But, he says, all men are different. "Not every man is looking for the same thing in a woman."
Create Romance
For Barry, a red-hot evening includes a candlelit dinner and plenty of time.
Heal Your Heart
The cure for a broken heart? According to Barry, you've got to get back out there ASAP and find someone else to love!
