      Think his online dating profile sounds too good to be true? There's reason to be suspect: Most people are dishonest on dating sites. In fact, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Cornell University found that 80% of online daters lie about their height, weight or age. The older you are, though, the less likely you are to fib, according to a study commissioned by BeautifulPeople.com, an online dating site where users are voted into the community. Here, we examine the most frequent fabrications, how to spot them in others' profiles and why they're not worth including in yours. Photo by Thinkstock

      1. Height Both sexes tell tall tales, but men are more than twice as likely to (literally) stretch the truth. Twenty-two percent of guys and 10% of women in the BeautifulPeople.com poll admitted to fibbing here. But the actual numbers may be higher. The UW/Cornell study measured participants in person and found more than 50% were

    • How to Tell the Difference Between Look-Alike Dog Breeds

      By Woman s Day | Pets – Tue, Oct 30, 2012 11:12 AM EDT

      By Marlisse Cepeda



      Whether it's their muscular frames or shiny coats, many pooches share characteristics that make them hard to tell apart. Why? "All domesticated dogs descended from a single grey wolf about 15,000 years ago," says Lisa Peterson, spokesperson for the American Kennel Club (AKC). Those similarities may make it seem like there are only a few dozen dog types out there. Yet the AKC and the United Kennel Club (UKC)-the two largest dog registries in the US-recognize 175 and 300 breeds, respectively. Click through to meet some of those cuddly creatures and find out how to spot the subtle differences between them. (Psst: The dog descriptions that follow are the ideal standards for the breed, so if your pup doesn't match up with them, that just means he's one of a kind!)

    • WD's Guide to a Well-Organized Pantry

      By Woman s Day | At Home – Fri, Oct 26, 2012 4:38 PM EDT

      By Arianne Cohen

      Think of your pantry the way you think of your refrigerator-as the food command center of your home. "You want to be able to open your cupboards and make dinner," says Amy Pennington, author of Urban Pantry. "You can't do that if your pantry only has flour, sugar, nuts and cereal." And you can't do that if you don't know what you have or where it is. What you need is a master plan to get your pantry well-stocked, well-organized and ready for duty. Photo by VEER.

      5 Universal Rules
      Whether your pantry is a few shelves in the cupboard, a walk-in closet or three deep drawers, you can make it work. Just stick to these rules:

      1. Know what you use. How to know what to keep a stash of? Ask yourself what you eat most. If you love rice, then a 20-lb bag is great (if you've got the space). If you're crackers about crackers, sure, keep a row of them. Avoid the common mistake of filling your pantry with

      On a recent Saturday, I stopped into McDonald's to use the ladies' room (not to splurge on fries, I swear!). There, I saw a woman my age with a concerned look on her face, helping an elderly man slowly make his way to the men's room with his walker. Photo courtesy of Andre Eccles

      "Is this your father?" I asked gently, as we all headed back to the parking lot. "Yes," she replied. "We're spending the weekend together." She seemed like a loving, dutiful daughter dealing with the inevitable role reversal that comes with age-those moments when it feels like you're taking care of your parents, instead of the other way around.

      As a member of the sandwich generation, I can relate. I often feel like the peanut butter between two slices of bread: I'm trying to hold it together for my two teenage daughters, and also meet the needs of my 89-year-old mom, Elinor.

    • Learn to Love Your Body

      By Woman s Day | Love Your Body – Tue, Oct 23, 2012 4:05 PM EDT

      Ask any woman you know how she feels about her body-no matter what her weight - and get ready for an earful. Odds are, she'll launch into a laundry list of what she doesn't like about her looks. For Kenda Smith, 36, the big problem is the tummy pooch from her second pregnancy. It's been two years and the bulge still won't go away. "My belly is so embarrassing," says Kenda, who lives in Worcester, MA. "It makes me feel sloppy and uncomfortable with myself." Sometimes she'd rather just stay home in baggy sweats than go out. And her self-consciousness is also taking a toll in the bedroom. "It's very hard for me to       feel at ease getting intimate with my husband because of how I look," she admits. Photo by Getty Images

      Flawless Nails

      For many women, an anti-aging routine consists of a wrinkle cream, the occasional exfoliating scrub and a serum at night. But while you're patting, buffing and rubbing, your nails are screaming, "What about us?" They have their own list of aging-related concerns-yellowing, ridges, brittleness-caused by a gradual decrease in circulation, says Glenn Kolansky, MD, a dermatologist in Red Bank, NJ. Plus, years of painting on dark polish can stain nails. Here's how to turn back the clock. Photo by Veronique Beranger/Getty

      The Doctor's Diagnosis

      Turns out, exercise not only builds muscle but also stronger, healthier nails: "Twenty to thirty minutes of cardio three times a week increases blood flow to your hands and feet," says Dr. Kolansky. More common in fingernails, brittleness can be improved by taking a biotin supplement. Toenails, meanwhile, are prone to thickness-caused by being stuffed too often into tight or high-heeled shoes, says Chicago
