Read Not Your Mother's Rules: The New Secrets for Dating for Free Online

personal style, we feel that makeup must-haves for a CUAO are bronzer, eyeliner, mascara, and a light-colored lip gloss. This stunning look makes a guy’s attention go to the eyes and cheekbones. A tan or bronzer makes you look like you just got back from St. Barts! After the makeover, we tell them to have photos taken to use in their online profiles.
Nose Jobs
    Sometimes women e-mail us that they can’t seem to meet anyone good, at least not anyone they like who is cute or their type. When we look at their photos, we think we know why. A woman with a nose that has a bulbous tip or a nose that is simply too wide or long for her face may need more than makeup. She might want to consider rhinoplasty, which is of course a very personal decision for any woman to make, but one we highly recommend if she feels it can change her overall look and confidence. Don’t get us wrong, we are not fans of unnecessary plastic surgery. We’re not into breast implants and butt jobs and tummy tucks and all kinds of fillers, but your nose is right in the middle of your face, so it’s hard not to notice. We nicely suggest that these women look into getting their nose done, but also to stop there and not get obsessed with going under the knife.
    We know this subject can be touchy with some women, but every client who took our advice and got her nose done is thrilled. It may just be an idea you consider.
Other Beauty Essentials
    If you have a lot of facial hair—a unibrow or even a mustache—you should get it lightened or waxed. If you have weak nails or bite them, get a gel French manicure that can last two to three weeks. Long nails will make you feel like a goddess, and so will long eyelashes. You may want to have eyelashes put on. Get your teeth whitened, especially if they are yellow or stained from coffee or cigarettes. Wear contact lenses (try blue and green shades!) instead of glasses. Yes, being a CUAO is work. But as Mae West famously said, “There are no ugly women, only lazy ones!”
    I’m Just Going to Class. Do I Really Need to Be a CUAO Today?
    We all have days when we’d rather just ditch our skinny jeans and makeup for sweatpants and a messy bun, and we definitely don’t see anything wrong with showing up to a morning class looking a little less than our best. We are human, after all. However, if we know a guy I like is in our history lecture, We’ll probably throw some eyeliner on that day, but there’s no need for over-the-top style to impress your crush during class—you don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard. On the social scene, though, you can’t choose frump over fashion. Having “the look”that gets you noticed isn’t so much about which stores you shop at or what brands you wear; it’s about showing off your style in a way that demonstrates you’ve made an effort without being too extreme. You shouldn’t meet a guy for lunch wearing that ratty T-shirt you got at your friend’s Bat Mitzvah back in middle school; opt instead for cute tops that show off your body, and spend some quality time in front of the mirror. You can experiment with different outfit ideas, but the basic idea is always the same: look like you care and show him that you’re beautiful inside
and
out.

Clothing
    Some women can run corporations or marathons, but they don’t have the faintest idea how to dress for men. They live in turtlenecks or super-preppy sets or busy and loud colors instead of sexier outfits in sophisticated, solid shades of black, white, tan, and the occasional khaki green. Or they wear blazers with white button-down shirts and flow-y scarves and wraps and tall boots with flat heels that are great for riding horses, but not for dating. If a woman wants to catch a man’s attention, she should wear sexy, trendy (though not necessarily expensive) clothes, like tops that show some cleavage with a push-up bra and short skirt—anything above the knee. We remind women to dress for
