" \n The Anthony Weiner scandal just keeps unfolding, with lewd detail after lewd detail being revealed. As he told Cosmo in a 1996 exclusive interview, he wanted to marry &amp;quot;someone smarter than [him]&amp;quot; \u2014 which he achieved by marrying now-12-weeks-pregnant wife Huma Abedin, who has been Hillary Clinton&amp;#039;s long-time aide. Apparently she hasn&amp;#039;t been able to elevate her husband&amp;#039;s intelligence much, though. Because it turns out all it took to start his downfall was one common little three-letter-word: &amp;quot;hot.&amp;quot; According to BigGovernment.com, Weiner begin exchanging dirty messages with Meagan Broussard, a 26-year-old college student and single mom from Texas, after she wrote on his Facebook page that one of his speeches was &amp;quot;Hottttt.&amp;quot; And this isn&amp;#039;t the first time a politico has fallen for such a clich\u00E9.  According to Elizabeth Edwards&amp;#039; book, Resilience, &amp;quot;You are so hot&amp;quot; was the one-liner former senator John Edwards&amp;#039;s baby-mama Rielle Hunter used to lure John into an affair. So the question that continues to be on our mind is: How can such an overused phrase entice a smart guy to risk everything? And is a woman who fails to call her guy &amp;quot;hot&amp;quot; more in danger of losing him than one who does? Read on to find out why experts think that word is so powerful and how to apply this surprising advice to your own relationship.  What Most Men Need  For starters, experts say &amp;quot;You are so hot&amp;quot; taps in to a source of deep-seated insecurity for many men and offers them the reassurance they&amp;#039;re yearning for.  &amp;quot;Attractive women get that a lot, but guys tell me they crave the same kind of compliments,&amp;quot; says Ava Cadell, PhD, author of 12 Steps to Everlasting Love. &amp;quot;Being perceived as hot in and out of the bedroom empowers a man sexually.&amp;quot; And while that&amp;#039;s true for any guy, it&amp;#039;s likely that both Anthony Weiner&amp;#039;s and John Edwards&amp;#039; narcissistic personality made them an especially easy target for ego stroking. Some men &amp;quot;are so starved for validation \u2014 if you say &amp;#039;you are so hot,&amp;#039; you&amp;#039;ve got &amp;#039;em,&amp;quot; says Greg Baer, MD, author of Real Love.   And a man&amp;#039;s response to this pickup line is more than just mental: Calling out his ability to turn you on actually may increase blood flow to his penis, Cadell says. Of course, a good guy will suppress his desire to stray or channel his lust toward his wife or girlfriend, but he still can&amp;#039;t stop his body from registering it.  From Your mouth to His Ego   But never mind the other woman \u2014 you can use these same word to fire up your man&amp;#039;s basic instincts, says relationship expert Pat Love, author of The Truth About Love. &amp;quot;For eons, men have evaluated themselves based on their skills as a provider and lover,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;In long-term relationships, if you want to keep passion alive, you have to keep the sexy compliments coming.&amp;quot; And by letting him know you want him, he&amp;#039;ll be less likely to fall for it if some skank tries the same tactic. &amp;quot;If his wife or girlfriend tells a man he&amp;#039;s hot and then he hears it from an attractive woman, it&amp;#039;ll be easier for him to shake it off,&amp;quot; Cadell says.   Eager to try the method on your man? Maximize its effect by whispering &amp;quot;You are so hot&amp;quot; at the start of a long meal. You&amp;#039;ll re-create the feeling of delayed gratification that you feel at the beginning of an affair, says Love. Your man may wave it off, but don&amp;#039;t be fooled. Whether he&amp;#039;s Brad Pitt&amp;#039;s clone or Jonah Hill&amp;#039;s, he&amp;#039;ll eat it up and love you more for it. So step off, Hunters of the world. We&amp;#039;re on to you.
