There are many things that we ladies include in our beauty ritual to look fab and sexy. Whether we're doing it for a man or not, some of these beauty efforts probably need to be cut from our style repertoire.

Want to know what trends men think you should pass up? We asked the man council to reveal the things about your style that they hate.

Boho Chic

From bohemian-style maxi dresses to hippy headbands, you love this style, brought to the limelight by fashionista Nicole Richie. It's so casual, comfy and reminiscent of the groovy '60s. The only problem--he hates it! "The girls who wear those dresses and braid their hair look like bohos to me, not boho chic," says Dean, a self-proclaimed stylish male. "I love style, and girls who do this don't look chic at all." Dean suggests throwing on something by Diane Von Furstenberg or Christian Dior and calling it a day. "Now that's chic to me," he adds.

 

Trapeze Dresses

"Some girls walk out of their houses looking like they're wearing garbage bags," says Jose, a single man. "I went on a date with this girl a couple of weeks ago and she was wearing one of these 'dresses'--she looked pregnant and I didn't want people to think I was the baby-daddy." Fitted clothes flatter girls better, says the man council. Although tunics, babydolls and trapeze dresses are in, they're right--you're not showing off your beautiful figure in the most favorable way. This fall, consider cinching waistlines and wearing things that actually fit you.

Ballet Flats

No surprise here--men like girls in heels. "They show off the legs and make them look more toned," says Brandon, who happens to be very into ladies' shoes. "High heels are so sexy, especially stilettos." Why are we not surprised, ladies? In our defense, ballet flats are way comfortable--they're perfect for a day of shopping, walking around the park, getting to and from work... I suppose when it comes to your dates, you can opt for the less-than-comfy footwear. But if you're going to be in sticks, he better be prepared to pick you up and drop you off at doorsteps.

Smoky Eyes

It's too much, the man council says. "Some girls think it's sexy to cake it on, but most of us hate all that makeup," says Jose. "I'm so much more attracted to girls who look amazing without any makeup on--the natural look is great." Well, Jose, I will respond for the rest of the ladies in saying that we're putting on the makeup for us, not for you. It does make us feel better. Lucky for you, we happen to look very good without it, too. Ladies, compromise and do up the smoky eyes at night, but leave it off during the day.

Spray tans

"I think I look so skinny and toned after I do the spray tan," says Annie, a repeat sunless tanner offender. "I love that sexy glow." Men, on the other hand, think it looks so unnatural that it's a turnoff. "I don't like the fake-bake look," says Dean. "If you're out sunning yourself, that's one thing, but to look orange is another." Girls, granted the sun does boast some harmful UV rays that you have to keep away from, but the spray tan might be getting out of hand. Let's limit our use so we can stay sexy and somewhat natural. I agree, it does look good, but it's no longer a "sexy glow" when you're shades darker than you should be. for more information visit

GUIDES FOR DATING

www.generalsuccess.blogspot.comAre The Rules dead? Revamped dating manual states you should NEVER make the first move with a man - but 79% per cent of women now say 'why wait?'

In the new age of online dating, Facebook, Twitter and text, some would say the dating game has been made a whole lot easier, with a host of technology quite literally in the palm of your hand to help you connect with the man of your dreams.

Others, including the authors of just published book The New Rules, would argue that technology has made dating etiquette a lot more complicated. The manual is an updated version of the Nineties dating bible The Rules and states that when it comes to online dating, women should always wait for a man to make the first move.

But according to a new survey, the digital generation of girls play the dating game more pro-actively with 79 per cent happy to initiate contact with many taking the philosophy 'why wait?'

According to a recent study by dating site MySingleFriend, only 21 per cent of girls currently heed the advice of the cardinal rule of The New Rules book; to never initiate first contact with a man.

But 71 per cent of girls agree with the authors’ advice to wait at least 30 minutes before replying to a potential date’s text messages.

Ten per cent of these respondents even leave men hanging for up to four hours before replying.

Only 29 per cent of girls are happy to reply to dates texts immediately.

‘Facebook stalking’ is also becoming a widely acceptable part of the date research process with a massive 65 per cent admitted to trying to get more information about a potential date by looking them up on the social network site first.

Continuing to date someone who has cancelled more than twice however is a no-go with MySingleFriend users.

A respectable 86 per cent agree with the book’s authors, Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider - that they would ditch a man if this happens.

Sarah Beeny, TV personality and Founder of MySingleFriend said: 'People have been dating from the Dark Ages to the digital age, but the host of technologies available today has massively changed the game, causing a load of new fascinating dating behaviours.'

Beth Gavin, 31, who met her boyfriend on MySingleFriend said: 'There are no set rules, everyone is different but the key thing is to give it a go and work out what works best for you!

'Having my friend write my profile gave me the confidence to try online dating and mix up how and when I played the dating game.'

MISTAKE YOU MUST NOT MAKE

Never text, email or Facebook a man first

'The premise of The Rules is that, as unfeminist as it sounds, a woman should do absolutely nothing to start a relationship'

Wait at least four hours to answer a text

That's the MINIMUM. 'The older you are, the longer you should wait'

Don't answer after midnight

'Part of The Rules is about teaching men to respect you - and that means setting boundaries'

Keep emails brief and never email first

'Long and/or frequent emails are a big turn-off... Leave him wanting more'

Facebook rules

'Never send a friend request to a man you like'

Online dating rules

'There are only two mistakes you can make. The first is not to try it. The second is to initiate contact'

Dealing with rejection

'NEVER write angry texts, emails, posts or tweets in retaliation. Your best move is de-friend, unfollow, block and delete'
