"Happy Memorial Day guys and gals! I hope you&amp;amp;#8217;re all enjoying a kick-off to summer with friends, family, and maybe even someone you&amp;amp;#8217;re smitten with (I&amp;amp;#8217;m BBQing with J and his family in Long Island today). In honor of the new season of warm weather, I polled a bunch of guys to find out just what they love about us ladies this time of year. And, not super-surprisingly, one thing came up repeatedly. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know about you, but my favorite parts of summer are going to the beach every weekend, getting a tan (and, thus, wearing less makeup), and the killer margarita buzzes I can enjoy at outside happy hours. When it came to the boys I kind of assumed I&amp;amp;#8217;d get a couple basic responses about their favorites: teeny tiny bikinis, tan lines, and mini skirts. But, my guy friends stepped out of the box with their answers (some stepped way out). See what I mean: So, dudes, what about girls do you love in the summer? &amp;amp;#8220;Sundresses, oversized glasses, and room for imagination,&amp;amp;#8221; Simon, 32, web director. &amp;amp;#8220;Spring dresses are a treat for the eye. The free bounce of the booty and the boobies is a breast of fresh air...I mean, a breath. ;) Hope that&amp;#x27;s not too perverted of me, but trust me when I say I speak for ALL dudes,&amp;amp;#8221; Brian, 29, actor. &amp;amp;#8220;The best thing about warm weather &amp;amp; girls, especially in NYC, is the clothing. It is like all you girls got together and were like OK THIS is what we are wearing now, let&amp;#x27;s be as completely distracting as possible and make even the mildest guys look twice. I am by no means a &amp;amp;#8216;bro&amp;amp;#8217;, but even I can&amp;#x27;t help sometimes but think &amp;quot;GODDAMN! where are you coming from?!&amp;quot; I think I fall in love minimum 5 times a day with a girl on the street because they look so good in their summer clothes,&amp;amp;#8221; Chris, 29, stand up comic. &amp;amp;#8220;I have a quote for you that my buddies and I use all the time for the summer. It&amp;amp;#8217;s actually from a song but most guys believe this: &amp;amp;#8216;Every woman looks better in a sundress,&amp;amp;#8217;&amp;amp;#8221; Kyle, 25, gas mechanic. &amp;amp;#8220;One thing my friends and I have always enjoyed is that, usually on the first hot day of the year, all the clothes would come off. All that we would see everywhere is half naked hotties in short skirts, tights white shirts, and even some quite revealing bikinis. But then, once the sun went down and the temperature dropped into the fifties, the &amp;amp;#8216;headlights&amp;amp;#8217; would go on. My buddies and I always enjoyed feeling like we were being &amp;amp;#8216;pointed&amp;amp;#8217; at, if you know what I mean,&amp;amp;#8221; Brian, 32, financial planner. &amp;amp;#8220;I love when women wear sundresses and have that natural tan that makes their skin look beautiful. You can really appreciate a woman&amp;amp;#8217;s legs in the summer because the jeans are finally packed away. While you&amp;amp;#8217;re at it? Pack away the boots and bring out the heels! I can go on for days&amp;amp;#133; I love everything about women in the summer,&amp;amp;#8221; Billy, 31, plumber. [Just a little preemptive note here: this friend is a real character. He&amp;amp;#8217;s also very handsome and very funny so take this one with a grain of salt. No women were harmed in the creation of this quote. Okay, read on.] &amp;amp;#8220;When it comes to women in summertime forget the tanned skin, the toned bodies. That&amp;#x27;s all clich&amp;amp;eacute; hogwash. The secret to why women thrive in heat is all about the pheromones. Back in my single days, I used to play a game with women called &amp;#x27;Greenhouse&amp;#x27; in my car. All you needed to play was an automobile with automatic windows, a hot day, and a pretty lady. Have you ever been inside a supermarket, at the deli counter, and watched those little rotisserie chickens spin around baking? The game, essentially, consisted of me and my date pulling into a parking lot on a hot day, let&amp;#x27;s say Starbucks, and I&amp;#x27;d offer to rush inside to pick us up some ice cold coffees to relieve us from all this terrible southern California heat. The idea of the game is to stay away from the car for as long as you can while your date &amp;amp;#8216;Greenhouses&amp;amp;#8217; out in the parking lot. I&amp;#x27;d lower the windows a crack, just enough to keep air coming into the car, because the game is useless if she steps out for some fresh air. Then I&amp;#x27;d order those drinks and watch from the window of the Starbucks. Watch her spin around, shift uncomfortably in that heat. Just at the moment before it looks like she&amp;#x27;s getting stir crazy, like she might actually step out of the car, I rush outside and make sure she sees me in her side view mirror. When the game is executed the right way, I&amp;#x27;d be back to the car with the iced lattes or whatever, and two things would happen. The first is, she&amp;#x27;d be burning up and be so thrilled to see me (and the latte). She&amp;#x27;d think to herself, &amp;#x27;Wow, I really liked this guy, he looks like a million bucks, but I&amp;#x27;m really surprised by how excited I was to see him come back to the car&amp;#x27;, and I&amp;#x27;d know full well it was all about the heat and the iced latte, but it&amp;#x27;d be enough to confuse her. The second thing that happens, every time, is why a guy like me would play the game. The car, would inevitably wreak of woman&amp;amp;mdash; in all the best ways. I&amp;#x27;m talking about that undeniable, body heat smell, that smell of sex, of sweat, of odors, permeating the leather of my Audi. The way the smells of a sweating woman mixes with moisturizers and bath cream and hair spray. The smell of hot bubble gum on her lips. Beads of sweat building up on her chest, running down her neck and into her shirt. Those smells of those parts of her body that make her a woman, filling up the car, filling up my nostrils, my whole body... If you do it the right way, that smell stays in your car for a week,&amp;amp;#8221; Patrick, 29, bartender. &amp;amp;#8220;Heels worn with shorts to show off legs! And the color white,&amp;amp;#8221; J, 29, agent. Speaking of which, this post was brought to you by the color white. You can now officially rock your white jeans, shorts, and eyelet dresses until the cows come home. Or at least until Labor Day. And did you catch the #1 common thread in most of these? That&amp;amp;#8217;s right: sundresses! Women-worn and man-approved sundresses (try these or these!). Now go put one on, have a happy Memorial Day and&amp;amp;#133; hooray summer! What&amp;amp;#8217;d you think of some of those quotes? Kind of funny, right? I&amp;amp;#8217;m not surprised that sundresses came up so much&amp;amp;#133;are you? But of course my boyfriend, J, is one of the few who didn&amp;amp;#8217;t answer with sundresses (of which I own many). It&amp;amp;#8217;s just never easy, ladies.
