How to Survive a Girl's Night Out
Survive a Girl's Night Out
Your favourite friends, killer shoes and sexiest jeans – the best ingredients for a girls’ night out. But did you know that a night with your mates can actually be good for your health? It’s true.
Spending time with your girls can help you reduce stress and bounce back from illness quickly; it reduces chances of coronary-related diseases – and it can extend your life.
Time on the dance floor equals kilojoules burnt (1600 in an hour, to be exact), and laughter is a great workout (giggling for 10 minutes will give you the equivalent workout of half an hour on a stationary bicycle).
So this summer, get yourself in the company of some X-chromosomes, put on those dancing shoes – and get out there looking and feeling fabulous.
Flirting can be tricky, but making a good first impression is your ticket to a date. Here’s how to make him remember you:
Ask good questions: Guarantee a positive impression by showing interest in him. Yes-or-no questions can grind a conversation to a halt, so keep yours open-ended.
Pay attention to the speed of his speech: Fast talkers love other motor-mouths, and slow speakers like other drawlers. Adjust accordingly.
Make eye contact: Most people look into the eyes of the person they’re talking to about 70 percent of the time, but making eye contact 95 percent of the time is most attractive to others. People who avert their gaze more than 30 percent of the time, by contrast, tend to come across as shifty.
