First I’d like to thank everyone for the great comments and stories I’ve gotten through email. Its great to know people are reading the GOPro Blog and have opinions on my topics. Keep the emails coming! I welcome, read and respond to each and every message.

Continuing on the topic of confident women, I dug up a page I ripped out of March 2008′s Glamour magazine. Once again, a little gimmicky – it does come from Glamour afterall, but read between the lines. I think these are some great points to remember. I’ve added some of my own thoughts after some of them and I’d love to hear what you ladies think as well.

10 Superpowers Every Woman Ought to Have

1. KateMossidence: the guts to set your OWN style and trends.

2. WhatCelingism: The unquestioning belief that a no-limits carer is yours for the taking. (I especially agree with this. I know too many women who hate their jobs because it is dull, boring or mundane. Paradoxically, they do nothing to advance and they stay because they think they can’t find any better).

3. Guilt Freeze: The clarity to know when you don’t have to say sorry. (I struggle with this all the time myself. Its in my nature to take responsibility of everything I am involved in. I often find myself apologizing when I am not at fault, but I’m working on it).

4. Bar None: a knack for never paying for your own drinks. (Herein lies a conundrum: you are independent. Does this mean you shouldn’t accept drinks at a bar? I view the “man-buy-woman-drink” situation as socio-cultural female/male courtship ritual completely separated from notions of feminism or female independence. If you are interested in him, take it as a nice gesture. If you choose not to accept, politely decline but continue a conversation. Just don’t take it if you completely aren’t interested. What’s the point? You can buy your own anyway).

5. Alba-tude: at your command, a shoulder-sback, hair flipping aura that makes you the woman every man lusts for. (Told you so, Gorgeous. Its all about that aura of confidence your radiate).

6. Weigh-dar: The uncanny ability to peer into the future of that crash diet and see that it just won’t work. (Secret to losing weight: exercise and consciously moderate what you eat. Duh, right?)

7. Orgasmaggression: an I-want-seconds attitude in bed (rawr! xxx).

8. NoMamaDrama: the wisdom to sometimes tell your mother that she’s right…even when she isn’t.

9. Gravity control: magical boob and butt-lift or at least excellent underwear (tip: Try Spanx).

10. Ex-orcism: the will not answer the phone when that guy from ’05 calls at midnight. (Dolls, can you say: meaningless boo-tay call?)

There you have it.
#10 reminds me of the infamous “He’s Just Not into You” mantra and I’ll be writing about that in my next post. Anyway, if you have a tip you are dying to share with everyone or even if you think these tips are complete trash, leave a comment or send me an email- I’d love to hear it.
