YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    If you're in a relationship, do you still get glam when heading out with just the girls?

    Today's New York Post is gossiping that Reggie Bush was seen "flirting up a storm" at Robin Thicke's birthday party, sans girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Now, we may or may not be giving Reggie the benefit of the doubt, but what is he supposed to do? Sit in a corner all night and not talk to anyone?

    Being single girls ourselves, we take extra-special beauty steps before heading out for a night on the town with our girlfriends. A spritz of our sexiest perfume, mega lashes, or a bombshell hairstyle puts us in the mood to dance or socialize the night away.


    But what do you do when you're in a relationship and are going out without your significant other? Do you spend as much time getting ready when you have a boyfriend or husband at home as you did when you were a single lady? When you're attached, is it more of a case of "I'm not out to attract anyone, so I don't need to get made up"?

    Do you think there's a difference between single girl-hot and attached girl-hot?

      I still want to look nice when I go out, even if it's not with my boyfriend because I respect myself enough to always try to look my best. I still do my makeup and hair and wear nice clothes (although if I'm being a wing girl I probably won't show off as much cleavage).

      But of course!

      I get all gussied up no matter where I am going or who I am going with...just dressed to appropriate for where I am going.

      Absolutely! I make sure that I look awesome any time I set foot out of the house, but I DEFINITELY go the extra miles when going out with my girls. Why should I be less hot than them just because I'm in a relationship?

      Oddly enough, I didn't wear make up to snag my man. Shocking, I know. He fell in love with my wit, my caring for others and innumerable other reasons, but my ability to put false eyelashes on straight is nowhere on that list.

      Yes, when I want to wear makeup and look good, I do, man or no man. I like to look nice because it makes me feel happy and confident and like I'm ready for having a good time. Again, not because I'm out to hook a mate.

      I really only wore a lot of makeup when I was in my early teens. By sixteen, I had stopped wearing it except for church, a night out with the girls(or family), and special occasions. I found that wearing it less often was benefitting my skin and I got used to seeing myself bare-faced, which resulted in me wearing less when I did put some on. I learned to love my appearance without any enhancements, so when there is just a dash of liner(no mascar; my lashes are too long and it gets all over my glasses!) and some lip gloss, maybe a little neutral shadow, I feel gorgeous. The only scent I wear regularly is Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom body spray, though for special occasions I have a little bottle of Chanel.

      To answer the question posed, no. My relationship status hasn't changed the way I think about or use makeup. I felt as a young teen that I should be able to find a man without having to lure him in with a painted face, and now as an engaged woman I'm glad my fiance like what he saw IN me, not ON me. The last time I wore makeup(save a photoshoot with a dear friend) was my bridal shower, and dinner with my man after. That was about two weeks ago.

      i love getting dressed up whenever i go out, boyfriend or not
      but my best friend is the type who will - literally - sit in a corner and not socialize now that she's in a relationship. she never gets dolled up anymore either. its pretty sad

      I get glam for ME. I like to look nice when I go out no matter who I'm with. I have to say though, I love my boyfriend and I find I don't have as much fun without him. We have a good time TOGETHER. And although I love compliments from him, I ultimately like to look good for me.

      This is stupid. Just because you're in a relationship you dont need to stop being who you are and looking the way you've always looked.
    • Minty Me  •  2 years 2 months ago
      Doesn't matter how you dress if you insist on doing that RIDICULOUS duck-lip pose. Stop it!!! You look stupid.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  2 years 2 months ago
      Yes, I still get dressed up if I go out with the girls! It's fun to get all glammed up and its something I don't do that often anymore.

      However, the last time we had some d-bag tell us that married chicks shouldn't be allowed to get dressed up and go out because it's like displaying sold merchandise. Oh there were so many sharp replies to come back with to that comment but, instead we looked at the dude like he had leprosy and walked away. :)

      I always try to outshine my friends, whether or not I'm single. And usually, I am successful. :-)
    • Kim  •  2 years 2 months ago
      If I go out with my boyfriend I wear things that make me feel pretty or sexy that he likes. If I go out with the girls, I wear things that I like but my boyfriend may not...like polka dots. I love polka dots, but my boyfriend swears they give him a headache. Wearing stuff I love and splitting it up into categories (to wear out with BF or to wear out with BFF) doesn't bother me so much because it keeps me from getting tired of certain outfits or accessories. Either way, I'm getting dressed up for me without feeling like I've compromised my tastes or my relationship.

      Always.

      I get done up whenever I go out somewhere nice.
    • ruthe k  •  2 years 2 months ago
      I still like to get glammed up when I go out with the girls. As I tell my bf all the time : "Most girls get dressed up for the other girls, not the guys". I truly believe that. It's all about the competition. You don't want to walk into a room and be the most drab out of all the girls. You still want to get noticed. Who says that you have to give up on looks once you're taken? Single women aren't the only ones who take pride in looking nice.
    • Wench  •  2 years 2 months ago
      I don't think wanting to be 'made up' has anything to do with whether you're single or taken. I'm not out to attract anyone, but that doesn't mean I don't want to still put on fun clothes and makeup when I'm out with my girl friends. I like to look good, because I LIKE to look good. It has nothing to do with my relationship status!
