SGR: Glamour’s "Ten Things Your Man Never Needs to Know"

23 Feb, 2010  |  Single Girl Research

And speaking of guys..

I am sure I have made the mistake of TMI while having convos with a guy during the early stages of courtship. So what better way to figure out what one should or shouldn’t say with -
The number of guys you slept with.
LOL!!! Do guy’s really ask this question? Uhm, let’s put it this way – either change the subject or keep the number very, VERY low.

What happened that time you got food poisoning.

If a guy really likes/loves you and is bothered by one of your not so pleasant experiences- I would question how much of your time he’s really worth.

Where you learned your signature sex move.

Photobucket
A while back, one of my gf’s tried to work things out with her Ex. She said she had to end the re-hashed relationship soon after, when he started trying out his “new moves” on her.
Signature moves = signature hoe.

That no matter how happy you are, you still pine for your ex—especially sexually.

Awwww – time to take a break from dating/new bf’s, if your Ex is still on your mind…no need to drag the past into the present!

Mustache bleaching (not to mention what happens when your bikini waxer takes a long vacay).

There are some things that were meant to be private. Not everything has to be shared…p.s. guys & leg stubble are enemies, so whether you’re dating, in a serious relationship or married, try to keep the limbs fuzz-free (esp. in the winter season).

That every once in a while you snoop around his e-mail, call log and/or browser history—just to see what he really thinks of you.
Ya. I would never do this, in general. Why? Bc I wouldn’t want a guy doing this to me.

I had this happen to me by crazy stalker ex’s bc they were either psycho, insecure, and/or cheaters. Stay AWAY from MG’s stuff!!!

Your best sex—unless, of course, it was with him.
Guys have an ego, especially when it comes to this subject. So if he’s not your “best”, don’t bring up the subject. Bonus points if you make him feel like he’s the best at something else…you know, like at driving, fixing things, choosing fabulush restaurants…whatevz!! ;-)

That “Braceface” was the nicest of the nicknames you had in elementary school.
Photobucket
source
I wouldn’t mind sharing some of my horrific junior high school stories with a bf. Seriously, if he has a prob with my past, then he can go be a part of it as well. Holler.

Just how hot you think his friend is. Nothing good can come of his worrying that you’re seeing his best bud’s face in bed and not his.

What kind of Skankity-skank would do this??? Ick.

That you once hooked up with your best guy friend.

Who cares?? It’s in the past, but seriously…I would keep convos about your sexual past to a minimum.
Besides, Good girls always get the guy...right?

kissies,
p.s. – Urban Signals posted the ABC News clip on FB!!! I will figure out how to put it on MG or my YouTube tom;-)

p.p.s – Date Night Outfit post on Friday, XOXO

Single Girl Research: "8 Relationship Rules to Retire"

28 Jan, 2010  |  Single Girl Research

How about if you & I take a stroll through Glamour’s “8 Relationship Rules to Retire” and decide which rules should stay and which ones need to go…
“8 Relationship Rules It’s Time to Retire”
source
1. Relationship Rule to Retire: Wait for the guy to call you.
My fabulous & newest bestie, Jordana of Clutch22, recently gave me the bestselling book, “He’s Just Not Into” for research on a project I am working on (besides Project Relationship, that is).
Even though the movie adaptation annoyed me to high hell, the book was very…helpful. It’s always good to get a guy’s input, bc only guys know what guys really mean.

So in the book, co-author Greg says -

“When men want you, they do the work. I know it sounds old school, but when men like women, they ask them out.”

See, how simple is that!? I’ll take old school any day.
2. Relationship Rule to Retire: Lie about your busy weekend schedule so he’ll (theoretically) want to go out with you even more.
I never got this whole “pretending to be busy” thing anyway, so I say kill this rule. In reference to the book above, according to Greg, when guys say they are busy it translates to this –

“The word “busy” is a load of crap and is most often used by a**holes. The word “busy” is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction.”

Ladies, this rule works both ways. Don’t be an a**hole.

3. Relationship Rule to Retire: Call after the obligatory three days.

Ya. This one has to die…like right now. With texting/bbm’s and even Twitter DM’s, there is NO reason anyone needs to wait 3 days. Eff-that.

4. Relationship Rule to Retire: Cook for your man.

What’s wrong with cookin’ for the boy? This is a sweet, endearing gesture and shows that you care about your man. I mean, unless your cooking skills are shit-tay…are they??

5. Relationship Rule to Retire: Let the man (always) pay the bill.

First, men should ALWAYS pay on the first date. Period. He doesn’t always have to pay, but if he makes more money than you, then what’s the prob?

Second, if we keep rule #4 alive, then paying for dinner won’t be an issue.

Problem solved – YAY!

6. Relationship Rule to Retire: Put on a show to impress your date.
Depends on the show…! No seriously, you can be yourself on a date, just a more amped-up version of your fabulush self. No need for crazy stories, name dropping (effing hate when peeps do this, just shut it!), or running down your resume’s bullet points…so ovah this!

Funny, sweet & smart will always work…every time ;-)

7. Relationship Rule to Retire: Divide TV time equally.
How much TV do people actually watch that there needs to be “equal TV time”…the hell, folks? Besides, with DVR & hulu.com, both parties can watch anything at anytime.

Problem solved – YAY, again!

8. Relationship Rule to Retire: Go out alone on a first date.
I guess this works if you are in high school or in college, but as fully grown adults…NO. First dates should be on a one-on-one basis.

MG deems this rule shall STAY ALIVE FOREVER x 100.

Glamour.com’s “Clothes That Get the Guy”:
SOURCE

Let Sheer Stuff Peek Out
I LOVE the color of this Burberry Prorsum dress for Spring.
Looking for wedgies in this color – any suggestions?

Petticoat, Betsey Johnson; dress, Burberry Prorsum; headband, Bando; gloves, Gaspar Gloves; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin. On Crawford: suit, shirt, Dior Homme; sunglasses, Dolce & Gabbana.

Pants on a Date? They’re a Do!
I’m more of a dress girl when it comes to dates (most guys heart girls in dresses I think, no?), but I do love how the bright pink makes this outy POP. House of Holland has been on my radar for some time now – this coat: FABULUSH!
Trousers, blouse, Ralph Lauren Blue Label; coat, House of Holland; hat, Hats by Selima; tie, Ralph Lauren; socks, Hue. On Crawford: tie, Dion Signature Collection; coat, boots, Dior Homme.

Pick a Lingerie-ish Dress
Hmm…nah. I prefer to be a bit more on the conservative side on this one. But the color of this Giles dress is PERFECTION – one of my favs!

Dress, Giles; flower clip, Tarina Tarantino; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin. On Crawford: tie, Dior Homme.
Let Your Mini Flirt for You
Totally! This Betsey Johnson Mini is cute as hell, plus you can mix and match it with tights & platform pumps/booties. Speaking of shoes: how many of you wear your pumps/booties with little socks? I wanted to try this myself with a new mini I just bought….
Jacket, T-shirt, skirt, Betsey Johnson; necklace, Aurelie Bidermann; cuff, Stella McCartney; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Brian Atwood; bag, Philip Treacy.

Fact: Men Love Red
Hmm – not all men. I have dated some that hated it, but who cares! Wear what makes YOU feel like a million bucks – like the Loubies in this pic…dying ;-)
Coat, Tommy Hilfiger; skirt, Blugirl by Blumarine; flower hair clip, Tarina Tarantino; necklace, M Missoni; pink flower pin, Bando; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Show Off Your Waist
YES, YES & YES! I do this a lot since I have boobs & a bootay, so cinching the waist totally flatters my figure…yay!
Dress, biker shorts, Louis Vuitton; hat, Hats by Selima; necklaces, Aurelie Bidermann; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Dior. On Crawford: watch, Omega.

Mix Your Little Top With a Sequined Piece
I would prefer the sequins worn in a tank or cute top. These pants are a little too Chelsea-rave club for moi…
Top, RED Valentino; leggings, New York Couture; headband, Lizzie Fortunato Jewelxw; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin.

Ruffles Are Everywhere—Have Fun!
Yes, have fun!! Though it would be insane to wear this dress on a date, you would be insane not to LOVE this Christian Siriano dress!!
Gown, Christian Siriano; flower pin (worn in hair), Bando. On Crawford: sneakers, Puma.

Which one of these ‘Date Night Outfit’ ideas is your fav?

kissies,

p.s. Just used my bare necessities gift card from the last Fashion 2.0 event to buy a pair of LnA Olivia Leggings…for $18 – SCORE X 100!! XOXO
