Cooking has come a long way since the 1950's when the kitchen was considered a no man's land. But now that so many of today's top chefs are males who are dominating the culinary scene, an increasing number of men are venturing into the culinary world. In the past, women were taught that the key to a man's heart was through his stomach. But today's single guys are turning that upside down, as they have realized that a home cooked meal and a bottle of wine can be the recipe for success when wooing a woman.

So guys, if you are looking to sharpen you knifing skills or increase your recipe repertoire of hot date night dishes, you need not step away from your computer. Thanks to a variety of online media properties, bachelors can receive an education in cooking on the Internet. At Cooking for Bachelors TV, host and creator JYL Ferris delivers step-by-step recipe demonstrations via video instruction.

It's no mystery that "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". We all know it's easy enough to displease a woman. But how to please a woman? That's a different mystery.

Women are complicated creatures and it's sometimes tricky to figure out what turns us on and off in bed. The good news is we know what we want and, by paying attention and experimenting a little, soon enough you'll be in on all the best secrets.

We're here to help solve the puzzle of what women really want from their man in bed. The secret desires women have been afraid to tell you are finally revealed. So read up and put your new knowledge to work--tonight.

Start Early
One of the main differences between men and women is the question of foreplay. Women love it and want it to last-the build-up is sometimes better than the main event. To really please your woman, indulge her in some slow, teasing, PG-13 action to set the mood, build her desire and show her you know what makes her happy.

My environmental conservationist father made sure that being "green" was part of my upbringing. While most of my childhood friends were welcoming spring by playing outdoors on their swing sets, my family was celebrating Earth Day and planting trees. I never thought much about the impact a few small changes could have on our environment until my mid-twenties, when I began dating.

Jim, my first long-term boyfriend and I were driving to Connecticut one Saturday afternoon for a visit with his sister when he rolled down the window of his Honda Accord and chucked out a silver foil-covered paper product that only seconds ago had been covering a Wendy's hamburger. This event quickly started my own green movement against environmentally toxic men. I didn't expect my boyfriends to be lobbyists for Green Peace but blatantly polluting the environment was a dating deal-breaker.

If you want to make a change and start living green, there are many small ways that you can do it while you're

Has it happened to you? It's late at night, you're alone and wham! A mild medical emergency catches you off guard. You stumble to the bathroom and open the medicine cabinet and besides the toothpaste, aspirin and the Pepto Bismol, there's not much else in there. We're not suggesting you lay in a shelf full of lotions, potions and products to rival Rite Aid, but there are a few things that no single should be caught without.

Maybe toasting marshmallows over the stove went haywire, or lighting a candle backfired, so you'll need a burn cream. The best one that instantly takes the pain away, helps to prevent blistering, speeds healing and prevents scarring is BurnCreamMD. Visit BurnCreamMd.com

That tequila fest went on a little longer than you planned for? Select from a variety of over the counter hangover remedies like Chaser, Sob'r-K, Hangover Stopper, Intervention, RU-21 and Berocca to name a few. Basically they're just vitamin and mineral supplements, and the water you need

When Amy took a new job at as an Asset Manager last December she never thought she could fall for a quirky guy like Stuart, her new supervisor, who was just not her type. But less than two months and several business trips later, the man she jokingly referred to as her "work husband" was all she could think about.

It's not unusual for people to find love in the workplace; in fact some, like Los Angeles based Career Counselor and Strategist Daisy Swan of Daisy Swan & Associates, believe it makes sense. That's because according to Swan "proximity has so much to do with who we get to know and love." The tendency for people to grow attracted to people they see and interact with regularly is known as the "propinquity effect" and may explain why people like Amy's feelings can go from cold to sizzling hot the more familiar they become with someone. And when that means daily meetings, working lunches and late night deadlines it can become next to impossible to fight those laws of

There was a time when your phone would ring off the hook. You always had big social plans with parties to go to and people to see. Those happy smiling faces that used to follow you wherever you went are now strangers on the street who all seem happier, more connected than you. As you stare at the blank four walls in your apartment you wonder how and when things shifted and why on earth it is happening to you?

Things change, people get older, friends drift apart or move away but just when it feels like you're the only single one standing, a new study comes out which indicates that you're not alone. In fact, social isolation, aka loneliness, is more prevalent than it was a generation ago. John T. Cacioppo, a neuroscientist who has been studying human isoloation and connection for three decades, recently revealed that 20% of the population feels unhappily isolated at any given time despite all the friends and fans they may have amassed on Facebook and other social networking

I just got off the phone with 39 year old Darren, a smart and successful bachelor whose social life started to suffer when all of his best buddies got married. Darren was hard-pressed to respond when I asked him straight out "what are you doing socially to change your situation?" I had a similar problem with newly single Amy, who told me she was tired of being dumped and was actively seeking her soul mate. Only her idea of "putting herself out there" was limited to meeting men who might find their way to her usual haunts, in this case Starbucks and her gym.

Some people are social beings by nature while for others it takes practice. If you fall into the latter category and want to make progress you must have a plan of action in place. As we get older and saddled with chores and work it becomes harder to find the time and energy to engage in social activities. Many of us find ourselves too practiced in the routine of ordering dinner and watching television. Through my work with

In 1995 when Hugh Grant got oral sex from a prostitute behind his then super model girlfriend's back, no one could understand it. But he was so boyishly cute we chose to forgive him. A few years later it was President Bill Clinton, whose unthinkable deeds in the White House turned a possibly not-so-dirty girl into the country's worst offender. Yet he too was ultimately given a pass based even with his dubious use of semantics while under oath and before the press.

By the time former New York State Senator Elliot Spitzer took a wrong turn he had amassed so many enemies, we all just wished both he and Ms. Dupree would both disappear, which happened as surely as Hollywood reporters moved on to the inevitable next scandalous story to be exposed.

Now there's no escaping it. There are the public sext texts released by one of Tiger's harem, a shy and sweet Southern Bachelor who ran off into the sunset with a Hooters Hottie and, just last week America's favorite funny Lady Sandra
