Don't Be Fooled
Do guys really care what you wear?
Whether it's a first date, second, third or ninth there is always an underlying worry in the back of our minds hovering over the evening like a dark cloud--what do I wear? But more and more it seems that your makeup and clothes are the last thing a guy notices about you. According to the site GirlsLife.com, wearing ridiculous outfits on dates isn't the way to impress someone. "I think girls gel mixed up because of how people dress on TV," one user said. "Showing a lot of skin in super-tight clothes just says to everyone, 'Please look at me!' If you need to wear those kinds of clothes, you're obviously not confident." And when it comes to makeup, the same sentiment is shared. "Girls at my school wear all this black crap on their eyes, and their lips are, like, thick with brown goop," another user told GL "It's ugly. Do they really think that will get them a guy?"
Sure, it's easy for a guy to get out of bed, throw on a t-shirt and push some gel through his hair but for girls, sometimes looking "natural" can be just as tiresome as getting all dolled up! We snagged some quotes from top fashion experts, designers and lovers that shared their advice with Bazaar on effortless styling. Try one of these on your next date and see how much time and attention you score!
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Maggie Gyllenhaal's advice when it comes to styling with the greatest of ease is all about inner beauty. "If you feel good in the clothes, then it comes out naturally," she said.
She couldn't be more right. How many times have you worn something too tight or short to then pull and tug at it all night wondering if you will still look skinny after you eat that mozzarella stick. It's just not worth it. If you want to have a successful and stylish date wear something that isn't only comfortable to wear, but something you also feel comfortable in also. That leather skirt might look great on the hanger, but on you it may be another story. If you are comfortable, you'll feel better on your date and can let your personality shine through, rather than experience an accidental flash at the dinner table.
Erin Wasson
This model turned designer has the perfect advice for getting ready. "When you think you've spent too much time getting ready, stop." It's better to get dressed on a whim because you make instinctual decisions."
Wasson's idea to go with your gut not only will save you hours of toiling over your closet, but will also speed up your getting ready time. Don't plan what you are going to wear on your date weeks in advance. Instead, see how the mood hits you for the time and place and judge you outfit based on that. You may come up with something you wouldn't have thought about before by keeping an open mind.
David Evangelista
This Manhattan celebrity makeup man knows all about being stylish without showing the effort behind it. He says that when getting ready, there is one part of the face that will immediately draw attention when out and that is what you should mind to when preparing for a big night out-the eyes. "The focus is definitely on the eye," he said.
So if you want to add a little extra to your outfit, do it there. It's the first thing your guy will see on your date and you might even turn a few other heads while you are out. But careful of how you treat your peepers. As users told GL guys aren't a fan of "black crap" all over your eyes.

Best Comic Book Couples
Fights are on a whole other level when you have super powers
We've all idolized comic heroes at some point in our lives. We've all secretly wished we had some kind of super power whether it was flying or the ability to scale skyscrapers. But the only thing better than being a superhero is being a superhero power couple. Take a look with us as we unveil the best superhero couples of all time. Which superhero couple do you think describes your relationship?
The love triangle-Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman
These three are probably the most iconic comic figures to date. Wonder Woman was originally a member of an all female tribe the Amazons, who were set to bring peace, love and of course, sexual equality to a world torn about by man. With her Lasso of Truth and indestructible accessories, there is nothing this woman can't do, or man for that matter, that she can't tame.
Superman on the other hand is the American dream. A good old Midwestern boy, Clark Kent was really just a specimen born on the planet Krypton with born given super powers (talk about natural talent). His buddy Batman is philanthropist Bruce Wayne by day, superhero by night.
Together, the three are often referred to as the "trinity" in DC characters and though it may seem that Wonder Woman and Superman would be oh so cute together, with their matching outfits and all, perhaps the third wheel Batman was really the catch for Wonder Woman. Check out the clip below as Wonder Woman intrudes on Superman's bromance.
Superman and Lois Lane
Comic lovers know that the real love in Superman's life (sorry Batman) was Lois Lane, reporter for The Daily Planet. If you've stayed with DC long enough, Lane has even become Superman's wife in recent issues.
This is one love story that tugs at heart strings everywhere. The idea that an average, everyday girl is swooped up by a gorgeous man with super powers is, well, every girls dream to put it bluntly.
I mean, if this guy did this for you, wouldn't you be speechless?
Elektra and Daredevil
These two are the epitome of a love/hate relationship. Elektra is one girl you don't want to mess with. A ninja assassin of Greek descent, it is her violent lifestyle that eventually divides the two.
But as they say opposites attract, and the opposite of Elektra would have to be Daredevil. He is one of the only superheroes with a disability, being that he was blinded as a kid in a radioactive accident. His accident may have taken his sight, but it gave him radar senses to everything around him. Though Elektra was just one of many love interests in his life as most guys Daredevil certainly seemed to have a type. When he wasn't interested in high danger ladies, like Elektra he went for the "ordinary" and somewhat plain girl, who often ended up killed or traumatized by being in his presence. Ouch.
The perfect couple: Spiderman and Mary Jane
We use the term "perfect" loosely when it comes to Peter Parker and Mary Jane's relationship, as no relationship where people are always after your man for dead is really ever that perfect. But these two showed an unconditional love that many other comics don't. Peter Parker was a bit of a dork, dealing with the typical cruel high school world along with loneliness and rejection. But when Mary Jane started to notice Spiderman, that was all he needed.
They were more than just in lust however, these two were best friends and in some scenarios, husband and wife. And though in some tales, Spiderman has moved on to greener pastures, such as Gwen Stacy and the Black Cat, Mary Jane is still #1 in our hearts.

Dating Outside the Box?
Everyone has a type. Mine? Generally, the tattooed, gorgeous brooding musician, or some variation on that. Pretty much everything your parents hope you never bring home. See, I love a bad boy. Maybe it's the rebel hidden somewhere in me (I've always been a goody two-shoes), or perhaps I'm just genetically hard-wired to go for the mysterious type.
Either way, I've never had very much luck chasing this type of guy. While not all tattooed guitar players fit into the bad boy stereotype (I actually know a few who are sweet, if a little misguided), I haven't come across one who has stuck around, whether it was my choice or his. This got me thinking, am I just making things harder for myself by only pursuing a certain type of guy with very specific attributes? And am I the only one who does this? Or do we all have a checklist somewhere in the back of our minds, and when someone doesn't fit the bill, we cut them loose without taking a second look?
For me, I think part of my problem is that I love a challenge. I don't want to be pursued, I want to pursue. And the less interest a guy shows in me, the more I want to make him come around. This, in and of itself, is going to get me nowhere, because if I'm constantly chasing, I'm never going to have the chance to settle down with anyone. You can't help to whom you are attracted--if you could, relationships wouldn't be so difficult. But you can stop pigeon-holing yourself. I guess my point here is that it might not be a bad idea to expand my dating horizons and meet people I wouldn't typically date. And maybe anyone who feels the same should also try looking outside the box.
I'm not saying that we should all just haphazardly start accepting every offer we get. If someone gives you a bad vibe or just doesn't seem right, trust your gut. We shouldn't live dangerously, just a little more openly. I also don't think you should try to force yourself to like someone just because they might be good for you. Trust me on this one, if you aren't attracted to someone, or if you don't get along well with them, trying to make yourself settle isn't going to work out. I have been there and done that and it is definitely not the answer.
I'm thinking more along the lines of just putting myself out there. Maybe, instead of constantly going to see bands, I should try hanging out at different places, with different groups of people. It might not hurt to just see what else is around, as far as personality types go. Judging a book by its cover is my other problem, because if I meet a guy who doesn't fit the ideal of what I think I want, I run in the other direction. Perhaps I should give it a little more time, take things slow, and get to know some new people. At the very least, I might end up with a few more friends. As far as my love of a challenge goes, I think I may just have to hope I grow out of that. In the meantime, maybe I can view this new outlook on dating as a brand-new kind of challenge.I'm not saying that we should all just haphazardly start accepting every offer we get. If someone gives you a bad vibe or just doesn't seem right, trust your gut. We shouldn't live dangerously, just a little more openly. I also don't think you should try to force yourself to like someone just because they might be good for you. Trust me on this one, if you aren't attracted to someone, or if you don't get along well with them, trying to make yourself settle isn't going to work out. I have been there and done that and it is definitely not the answer.
Ultimately, do you think it is as easy as deciding to be more open-minded, or is there a better way to escape the dreaded dating rut?
