Do Tell: What are your Similar Traits?
Although I am the perfect mix of my mother and father, I have grown up to be my father's twin in terms of looks and sense of humor, we also share the same love for spicy foods and agree on what a vacation is all about!
In the spirit of Father's Day, ladies, do tell, what characteristics or personality traits do you share with your father?

What Traits Do You Share With Your Mom?
Even if you try to avoid it, you’re going to pick up some traits from your mom. From the way they hold their teacups to how they handle confrontations, moms pass down their tried and true ways of being women in this world. While there may be some bad habits we’d rather avoid, for the most part, the similarities we share with our mothers really are something special.
Do Tell: What Female Trait Would you Change?
Being a woman is amazing, we have the honor of bearing children, we are sensitive and compassionate, we get to be feminine and girly whenever we want, but at the same time, as women, we suffer through our periods every month, we have to fight for job equality, and have to keep up with the Jones' in terms of weight, fashion and status. So ladies, if you had to abolish one female characteristic to make your life easier, do tell, what would you change?

Do Tell: What Macho Traits Do You Wish Would Go Away?
We've heard about the he-cession and how the economic downturn has affected men's mental health perhaps even more than it has women's.
One writer goes further and says that all of this bad news for men is just paving the way for the death of macho as we know it. Macho arrogance got us into a lot of this global financial mess, he reasons, and its exit stage left will get us out of it.
Do Tell: What Insecurity Would You Rid Yourself Of?
Insecurities — we all have them no matter how hard we try to fight them off. They can come in many different forms: a character trait, a nervous habit, or a way of life. But almost all of them have the ability to affect our daily life and routine, our relationships, our job, and our friendships.
Dear Poll: Are You More Like the Girl or the Guy?
When I asked if your significant other shows his emotion well, the results were pretty evenly split, although very extreme — the men were either completely closed off or very in touch with their feelings. Hearing stories of guys who are not ashamed to cry got me thinking about the roles we play in our relationships. Sometimes, we take on the stereotypical traits our gender dictates, but that's not always the case.
Dear Poll: Passive or Pushy?
If you take a second to note of the different personalities of your friends, I bet some of them couldn't be more opposite. But that's one of the great things about having a big group of friends — everyone is different. In my group, I have one incredibly pushy friend and one incredibly passive friend.
Do You Think You're Emotionally Intelligent?
In some ways, this is a trick question, because if you're not emotionally intelligent — defined very broadly as someone "particularly good at establishing positive social relationships with others, and avoiding conflicts, fights, and other social altercations" — you might think you are anyway!
But October is Emotional Intelligence month, and it seemed a good time to remind people, as Emotional Intelligence author Daniel Goleman claims in his book subtitle, that "it can matter more than IQ." We've all known the brilliant boss or friend who had a horrible temper or little ability to empathize and couldn't figure out why, in the case of the boss, no one ever stuck around for long, or, in the case of the friend, people had to break up with them they were so toxic.
10 First Date Questions
First dates are typically meant for getting to know one another, but when our nerves get the best of us, it's easy to walk away from the night without really learning much about him at all. To prevent that from happening, I've come up with 10 first date questions that are sure to enlighten you on some of the important character traits you'll need to know later down the road — sometimes knowing how he takes his coffee is as important as whether or not he wants kids! Check out my questions below and please add your own in the comments below.
You Asked: Am I Not Making Myself Available?
Dear Sugar,
I have never been a real commitment person. I have had a couple flings in the past year but nothing serious. I'm ready to open up to a more serious relationship and am actively looking, but I haven't found anything worthwhile so far.
