5 types of women men can't stand

We all know what women don't like in men, but do we have even the slightest idea about what type of women put off men? Here is the lowdown on the personality types men don't like at all.

Cribber: Women who crib, talk negatively and belittle people are a great turn-off. Sure we all have our bags full of complaints, but it is one thing to complain once in a while, and it's something else to crib big time 24x7 about every issue or every person one comes across. Men can't understand why a woman has to crib and bitch all the time. Either you do something about the issue or stop complaining - it's as simple as that.

Weight-watcher: 'Oh can't have beer, it has 150 calories', 'I must hit the gym everyday' - if these are your favourite catchwords, you have trouble coming your way. There is only so much diet, exercise regimens men can take and if you are too conscious, a man is likely to be exasperated. Women need to know when to give in 'without throwing their weight around'!

In-law basher: Agreed only the fortunate are blessed with a good set of in-laws. So if you are not one of the lucky ones, will you constantly bash them up verbally? They are somebody's parents and if you don't have anything nice to say something about them, don't say anything. How does that sound?

Worker bee: If you are buzzing nineteen to a dozen only about the presentations you have to make for the boss, deadlines, colleagues, HR head and the office janitor - it's obvious you have nothing else to talk about. A man may want to know about your interests, your views on him, and more, but you prefer to hide behind 'work' all the time. If you want a man, any man actually - get a life first.

Agony aunt: There are some women who constantly feel they are an 'advisory body'. They feel it is their business to hear out the whines of everyone around them and suggest suitable solutions. They are so deeply involved in this part-time job that they inadvertently sound like they are advising you as well. Nobody wants to date a mom, you know.

Aamir, the Emperor Khan!

An actor par excellence, award winning director ('Taare Zameen Par'), and a hit producer ('Lagaan', 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'), Aamir Khan brings to the Bollywood screen a will to experiment and a desire to be perfect.

The most bankable actor of recent times, Aamir Khan is the darling of the "thinking film buff".
On the eve of his latest production venture, 'Peepli Live', we walk you through the life of Aamir Khan.

Aamir Khan is the son of renowned film producer Tahir Hussain.
He started his career as a child actor in 'Yaadon Ki Baaraat'.
His ticket to fame was 1988's 'Qayamat se Qayamat Tak'.

"My parents looked after us very well... we had a fairly sheltered life. I mean my parents were really against me getting into films. I come from a film family. My father and uncle were both filmmakers. And I faced hell at home. It was like there's no way you're getting into films," said Aamir.

Aamir fell in love with his neighbour Reena Dutta and married her soon after turning 21, much against the wishes of both their families. The marriage produced two children and lasted 16 years, ending in divorce, in 2002. 
He married Kiran Rao in 2005.
Landmark movies of Aamir Khan include: 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander', 'Andaaz Apna Apna', 'Rangeela', 'Raja Hindustani', 'Ishq', 'Ghulam', 'Sarfarosh', 'Lagaan', 'Dil Chahta Hai', 'Mangal Pandey', 'Rang De Basanti', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Ghajini' and '3 Idiots'.

Says Aamir: "I am not really interested in power. I think it's important to know what one can really do with the power. According to me, power is how one uses it. I can be very powerful but if I can't use it for any good or can't contribute to the industry then I am actually powerless. I would like to use my power by working with new directors, giving new actors to the industry and making experimental films."

His upcoming movies are 'Dhobi Ghaat' and 'Lajjo'.

Aamir's directorial debut 'Taare Zameen Par' was the official entry of India to Oscars in 2008

Aamir's 'Ghajini' is India's biggest grosser ever. The movie grossed Rs 3 billion worldwide.

Rumours are rife that Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle has approached Aamir for his next venture.

Aamir has taken a break from acting until early next year to concentrate on his three home productions - 'Delhi Belly', 'Dhobi Ghaat' and 'Peepli Live'. 

Aamir is India's first celebrity blogger. He blogs @ www.aamirkhan.com.

He is the brand ambassador of Coca Cola, Parle G, Titan, Toyota Innova, Tata Sky and Samsung. He was recently appointed the Brand Ambassador for Tourism Ministry's Atithi Devo Bhava campaign.
He is also a hit playback singer with numbers like "Aati Kya Khandala" from 'Ghulam' and "Bum Bum Bole" from 'Taare Zameen Par' topping the music charts.

Aamir says he only accepts meaningful awards.

To cut it’s looong nose short, and to put it into one sentence, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG could be described as taking a big step into the past and a giant’s leap into the future. 

The very essence of it, the exterior design, was made to bring about flashbacks of the company’s glorious racing era as well as resemble one particular model, one they called the ‘Widowmaker’. And that it does extremely well. 

But what’s an AMG without a huge displacing, explosive sounding, 500 HP plus engine? That is where the guys in Germany seem to have got it spot on. Apart from when you’re standing drop-dead staring at it, most things about the SLS will hint at the future. So we should certainly feel privileged that now, if you fancy driving on the inside circumference of a tunnel, and ofcourse if your bank balance allows it so, you could go out and buy your very own RHD SLS AMG in India.

Mercedes-Benz launched the ‘super sports car’ in India yesterday, and the specs stay the same with the 6.3 litre V8 AMG engine, an AMG sports steering and a high-performance braking system, a 3-stage ESP and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed tranny all present to name a few. It is also the same car that has been doing the rounds this Formula One season as the Safety Car, so track experience certainly hasn’t been kept to a minimum while the company claims it has already received 10 bookings since it was displayed at the Auto Expo 2010 in New Delhi, thus meaning exclusivity is no issue so far. And for those of you who wondered about the advertisement being shown on TV, the company also claims that it was a dry sump lubrication system that enabled Michael Schumacher to become a professional stuntman.

Sunday's World Cup Closing Ceremony backing dancers...

Fans may not know much about the real Michael Jackson, but he gave us many cultural moments, things that are iconic to him and will be for decades to come, including this Swarovski crystal glove he wore on his Victory Tour.

“In Michael’s lifetime he was extremely controversial and a lot of people dismissed him as weird and questioned his relationship with children, and in a sad way his death was redemptive,” said Boteach. “I think people began to understand the whole tragedy of his life. In America poverty as tragic, child abuse as tragic, but fame and money is a blessing. But to Michael it never was. Those were not the things that he wanted. What we all seemed to have, that he lacked, was a normal life.” 

“Michael searched for love, he ultimately settled for attention. All the things you describe — the large fan base, being at the top of the charts — that’s not about love, that’s about attention,” said Boteach. “Michael felt the pressure to keep on doing, and that’s ultimately what wore him out and made him so lifeless and lethargic. He didn’t have any more that he could give.”
