You should wear makeup and take care of yourself. Caution: not too much, lest you appear to be vain and superficial. You should be smart and well read. But beware: never disagree or have opinions that contradict or are more informed than any man’s. Be approachable and have a personality, lest you be branded basic. But, you know, not too much of a personality. Be girly—but not too feminine, because then you seem vapid. Be ambitious—but not so much that it makes men uncomfortable. Be nice—because, more than anything, you need to be liked. Smile—because you look prettier that way.
