According to a survey by a British clothing website called Very.co.uk, women want to know the TRUTH when they're trying on clothes.
--82% of women say that when they ask if something makes their butt look big, they want their significant other to be honest. And 70% think that their man actually WILL answer truthfully.
--But most men KNOW BETTER. 64% of guys admit that they've LIED to their wife when they were asked that question, and, quote, "said the right thing."
--68% of men say that they think telling the truth would make their wife upset . . . and 11% think telling her how she really looks would ruin an entire weekend.
--Of course, women eventually find out how clothes really make them look, and the average woman has $160 worth of clothes in her closet that she's never worn.
--More and more Americans are saying . . . sleep over sex.
--Memory foam mattresses keep getting more popular. And while they give you a great night's sleep, they're not so great for getting-it-on.
--In the last eight years, they've gone from 14% of the market to almost 20%. Even though people know memory foam is great for sleep but not relations.
--And . . . we don't really mind. 40% of memory foam owners say the sex isn't great on them, but 80% say they're happy with memory foam.

A new documentary called "Mansome" comes out in limited release this Friday. It's by Morgan Spurlock . . . the guy from "Super Size Me" . . . and it's about the rising popularity of "manscaping".
--Here are the five rules they came up with.
#1.) Shave or Wax Your Back, but Keep It a Secret. Basically, they want you to do it if you have a lot of back hair. But they'd rather not know about it. (--On the other hand, maybe you can bond over it.)
#2.) Don't Shave Your Chest Hair, but Trim It if It Gets Out of Control. If you need to clean it up a little bit, use trimmers. Don't shave everything, and don't get it waxed.
--The only time it's even ACCEPTABLE to shave all your chest hair is if you're in outstanding shape. Otherwise, leave a little.
#3.) Never Completely Shave Your Package. One woman said it best, quote, "It makes me think he's trying too hard, or [he's] a weirdo who loves staring at his naked crotch."
--On the other hand, don't let it get TOO crazy down there. They say to use scissors or trimmer . . . never wax . . . and be VERY careful.
#4.) Don't Shave Your Face on Weekends. If you HATE having facial hair . . . or SHE hates it . . . then by all means shave. But apparently a lot of women like it when you're scruffy sometimes.
#5.) Don't Shave Your Arms or Your Legs. Again, one of the women they talked to nailed this one. She said, quote, "I would find it very, very odd if a guy waxed his arms and legs and wasn't a cyclist or a swimmer."
--We assume the same thing goes for the hair under your arms.
--According to a new survey, women are SLIGHTLY more uncomfortable talking about SEX than talking about THEIR BOWELS. But it's close.
--30% of women said sex is the most uncomfortable conversation topic, 29% said constipation and other things related to their extended time on the toilet.
--When women DO talk about their bowels, they're more likely to talk to other women than men.
--Only 7% of women who would talk to a man would tell anyone but their husband or boyfriend.
