"It is when you feel your worse that you should look your best."

Friend: It was all good just a week ago. He was calling and texting all day everyday.  We were spending all of this time together, and out of nowhere it just stopped.  Next thing I know he's kicking it with some other chick.  I'm so sad.  What should I do?

Me: Always look pretty.

Now this may just be an epidemic in Atlanta but I swear to you I hear this conversation more often than you think.  I attribute it to the fact that there are far more women than men; hence, guys have more choices than we do so they are at liberty to explore their options far more than we are.  Now this is not only true from a statistical standpoint but from a societal standpoint as well.  Women are not afforded the luxury of being serial daters without gaining a few unsavory labels, and most women cannot date or have sex without the emotional attachment that comes along with it.  Such is the plight of a woman le sigh.  I get tired of seeing girls so down in the dumps especially since I've been there.....hell let's be real I just left there.  The answer to your problems is not in the bottom of a bottle of moscato (which you shouldn't be drinking anyway yuck) or in a pint of ice cream or any of those other stereotypical things that we think will take away the pain of lost love.  In my experience the best revenge is looking good, not necessarily for the other person but for yourself.  Think about how epic the first day of school was for you as a kid.  You were hella juiced the night before the first day of school simply because you couldn't wait to show off your new look for the year.  You had a fresh outfit, a new hairstyle, new kicks and all was right in the world.  It's pretty much the same concept just in adult life.  Now I don't labor under the delusion that a well executed look will solve all of your problems, but it will certainly get you started on the path to getting your life again.  When you are confident in your outer appearance you feel good and you give off positive energy.  That positive energy attracts more positive energy, and that's what you need to get out of you rut.  No one really wants to be around a bitter chick, and that inlcudes your friends and any possible new prospects.  So take a moment (and I mean a moment life is too short to be sad too long) get your self together, get dolled up, and let the positive energy flow.  If this sounds completely shallow to you then hey I understand but give it a try the next time you're feeling down.  What do you have to lose?
