Dear Sugar,
I am a young, college student who is comfortable in her own skin. However, I seem to only be pursued by men that are much older than me. Guys my age just seem to look straight past me, while older men always show interest in me.

Your friend begs you to come on a double date as her wingman with a guy she’s crushing on. You hesitantly agree, seeing as how you know nothing about the friend her date is bringing. When they meet you guys at the restaurant, you’re pleasantly surprised — the friend is a total looker — but then he speaks.

Whether it's dragging them to a
strip club or making them feel guilty for not hanging out more, our boyfriends' buddies have a big reputation for being bad influences. We can feel certain that our boyfriends are the most honest and good-natured people, but put them in a room full of their guy friends and suddenly they’re one of the pack. Of course, it always depends on the guy and the friends, but do you trust your significant other when he’s with his friends?
I love a guy who likes to dance. There's something incredibly sexy and sensual about a man with rhythm. But whether he's a total goof or a hip-hop legend, if he's down to shake it on the dance floor then he's on his way to being perfect in my mind.

Less than a year ago I started casually dating a guy I met through a friend. We lived just over an hour apart, but when we were together we had a great time. We talked once a day and I saw potential, but we weren’t an exclusive couple.

When it comes to passing out the digits, women are picky, and rightly so. With some men, you can tell right off the bat that they aren’t good candidates while others appear innocent enough. Until a week later when they’ve called you four times and texted you twice — their promise to not give up until you go out with them seems more creepy than cute.

I’m a sucker for soft-spoken guys, the ones that avert their gaze the moment you make contact only to catch their subtle glance later. I guess I just love their quick grin and silent smiles, or maybe I just like a little bit of a challenge! Whatever it is, I find shy guys a complete turn on.

Dear Sugar,
Last Summer my boyfriend moved in with one of his friends. We are both very busy and usually see each other on the weekends. Most of the time I sleep at his place but things have been strange lately; it seems like my boyfriend's friend is jealous of the relationship we have.

A weekend New York Times article is still on my mind. It alerted readers to the possibility of
Gardasil — the much talked about
HPV vaccine for the prevention of cervical cancer — being administered to young boys as further protection for females. It's widely known that men can carry the virus without any knowledge of it, leading to easy and inadvertent exposure to their partners.

Think of giving gifts to the DIY guys in your life as giving yourself a gift too: They can take that new toolset and fix your kitchen floor, or use the silkscreen set to make you some cool party announcements.
All kidding aside, it's fun to give these guys gifts because you have to find presents that will equal the creativity of these capable and creative men. To help you in your search, I've gathered some project-worthy presents to help you in your quest.
