| What women want in a lover
Coupled with this he should have a "wacky" sense of humour, according to the study of 40,000 women by UKdating.com. But Australian men might find the sexual side a little harder to adhere to. He needs to be experienced - having had more than three relationships, but not too experienced - having had no more than six sexual partners, has never been married and doesn't have children. The precise check-list has been compiled from preferences entered by members of the dating website. Also important is a university education, with many women specifying that they would like to meet a man with a BA degree. Smokers and football fans were given the thumbs-down.

The gregarious 26-year-old from Milan, Italy, endeared himself to fans during his stint as a Speedo-wearing contestant on MTV's dating show, "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila," though he failed to win over Tequila. Still, MTV saw potential in Nesci and made him the star of a spin-off, "That's Amore," in which 15 women from across America fight for his attention by facing off in such challenges as spaghetti-wrestling matches. "It's probably the most romantic show on TV, so crazy, dramatic and very very funny — Italian style," Nesci told The Associated Press.

Bettina Arndt: Get in, girls, before you flip
Young men were once the hunters. Pimply-faced youths were forced through the ordeal of putting themselves on the line and risking rejection. But now dating isn't just about the young. People of all ages are still out there, searching for a mate. And when they pass the carefree years of the 20s, the dating world is suddenly a very different place. When women hit their 30s, they encounter a "flip," which shifts the balance of power in the dating game irrevocably in the man's favour, according to blogger Sam de Brito. After years of grovelling for female company, now it is the men who find themselves in a buyer's market as women start to panic over finding partners willing to father children. "Mother nature is particularly unfair to her daughters and it's about age 32 that many women realise life's great game of musical chairs is cruelly weighted towards guys and there's not many seats left to sit on," writes Sam.
Jesse Mccartney - Mccartney Denies Online Dating
LATEST: U.S. teen pop sensation JESSE MCCARTNEY has denied he is looking for love online - insisting he set up a profile on a dating site for a "joke". The 20-year-old told U.S. magazine In Touch Weekly he had signed up to Jewish dating site JDate.com - even though he isn't Jewish. MCCartney, who recently ended his romance with David Cassidy's daughter Katie, admits he did join the website - but only for amusement and not as a serious way to meet women.

"I was hanging' with some friends and we thought that it would be really funny to see peoples' reactions.

Girl-group get-togethers to plan for 2008
Many women have a love-hate relationship with Sex and the City. It was a great show but it spawned so many horrible things: New York bus tours that stopped at, among other show-specific sites, the store where Charlotte bought her "Rabbit Pearl" vibrator; sassy single-girl dating columnists; and online quizzes to determine which character you are. So when the Sex and the City movie was announced, we wearily resigned ourselves to the onslaught of more articles on what the fab four were wearing; if the on-set photos of Carrie in a wedding dress were a real part of the plot or just a dream sequence; and on the cultural impact of the series we just can't seem to get away from. We'd love to say enough already, but who's kidding who? Come May 30, we'll be in line for the movie with everyone else. Spice Girls The reunion tour! .
The meeting of like moms
Women also are going online to find moms who match their personality and interests, much like singles use an online dating service."You scope 'em out," says Magalie Belanger, 31, about prospective mommy-friends in Helena, Mont. "You see how they deal with their children, and with yours."It's like dating, but the dates are with other moms and their children. While the kids play, hopefully without tantrums or biting, the moms are free to talk about the things they have in common, from the lofty subjects of religion and politics to the more practical topics of teething and diaper rash."Women, they want someone else who is going through the same thing," says Drury Sherrod, a Los Angeles social psychologist who studies friendship.Often, that can mean seeking out other women in the same trimester of pregnancy or whose children are similar in age, he says.Kate Harmon, 41, of Concord, Mass., recalls how 10 years ago she fell into the perfect support group while her husband was a graduate student in Boston.
Bangladeshi begums fight corruption charges
One of Bangladesh's two "battling begums" went on trial for extortion yesterday, as part of the emergency Government's plan to break their stranglehold on politics and exclude them from an election this year. Sheikh Hasina Wajed, a former Prime Minister, has been in detention since July, accused with her sister and cousin of extorting $440,000 from a businessman while in power between 1996 and 2001. Khaleda Zia — her arch rival and another former Prime Minister — is awaiting trial on similar corruption charges dating back to her last term in office, in 2001-06. The two women, who have dominated Bangladeshi politics for almost two decades, were arrested after the army forced the President to cancel parliamentary polls and impose emergency rule in January last year.
