"  By now, we&amp;#039;ve all heard the jokes about Taylor Swift&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;man-eating&amp;quot; ways\u2014and Taylor Swift has heard them, too. The 22-year-old singer says she avoids news about her relationships because, well, she&amp;#039;s not the vixen the tabloids portray. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re like &amp;#039;Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; she said in a recent interview. &amp;quot;I never chase boys. They don&amp;#039;t like it!&amp;quot; Okay, we get it: Women are taught to let guys do the pursuing but recent research\u2014and our personal experience\u2014suggests otherwise. The truth? Guys\u2014on a whole\u2014love it when a girl takes charge and asks him out. A recent study by LavaLife found that a whopping 95 percent of men actually prefer it when women approach them. So, Taylor, here&amp;#039;s our (unsolicited) advice: Don&amp;#039;t be afraid to take charge and go after the guy you want\u2014even if that dude is Bradley Cooper.  More than likely, he&amp;#039;ll say yes.  Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter. Photo: Getty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
