For instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are similarities in personality and knowledge.
Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is if they know the other person likes them. From here!
Frigging hilarious! Starve men so they like bigger girls.
The study, published in the British Journal of Psychology, demonstrates that "caloric dissatisfaction" can influence preference for female body weight. Researchers showed pictures of women's bodies to 30 hungry men and 31 sated men and asked them to rate the photos for attractiveness.

Beautiful women
As women were given choice in the matter much more recently (at least in Western culture) there is much less common consensus on a male standard of beauty than on a female one.
"Standards of beauty are both innate and culturally universal, and everybody agrees on who is beautiful and who is ugly just like they agree on who is tall and who is short," he said. The top factor is facial features, he said.
(Damn... I'm normal... I tend to be attracted to facial features...)
He said computer programs can precisely measure someone's physical attractiveness. (Look up the golden ratio face, it's wrong... but it's true).
56% of beautiful parents had girls.
41% of non-beautiful parents had girls.
This means that 44% of the beautiful parents had boys. This means 44% of the beautiful people are men and 56% are women, leaving a full 12% unaccounted for.
Personally though, it'd be nice to have a 36% greater chance to have a daughter. But, I get the feeling I'll end up with two sons. (Don't ask me why... it has nothing to do with the above data.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivers_-willard_hypothesis And according to this one I need to find a submissive woman. No... I really like the mean controlling ones.
So statistically (and I'm factoring in a lot of other studies from other statistics), I should become more agressive (to increase my chances), more dominant, less 'nice guy' and go after submissive females... I should. I'm... just going to ignore this study for now. I'm not ready yet anyway.
I should also go for pale women because it's easier to tell if they are healthy.
Or I could just fall in love with her... cuz love is all you need.
To all the women out there... no... to everyone out there. You've been burned... and you're afraid to be burned again. You claim to be looking for someone with no strings so that you won't be emotionally invested. You think if you're not invested you can't be hurt... wrong... so... very... wrong. Or maybe it's not you. Either way, good luck.

Lip reading.
Remember, I am not a professional, I take no responsibility for anything, period.
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/25198/hearing_loss_options_teach_yourself.html
To get better at lip reading start by watching a newscast and turning the volume down low. Newscasts are a perfect start because the newscaster is trained to speak clearly and distinctively. This will make it much easier for you to grasp what he or she is saying without much sound. Pay attention to the way the newscaster forms certain words. Gradually turn the volume down more and more.
Make sure there is silence throughout the rest of the room or house, as you're learning. Noises throughout the house, such as other tv's or children playing, will make it much more difficult to get in good practice.
As with learning any new trick, you'll have to put in many hours of practice to master it. Practice everyday, using television personalities as your guides. Eventually get to where you mute the tv and attempt to read lips on other shows. You'll grasp some words and some you won't. That's okay. Continue practicing any way.
