How To Spruce Up Your Dating Life?

By now, you’ve likely heard of big d*ck energy—the viral catchphrase for the undeniable air of confidence that some guys seem to exude. The theory being, well-endowed dudes have a little extra swagger.

Women can project a similarly confident vibe—although obvio, it has nothing to do with a particular body part. It’s just about the energy that comes with being happy and totally self-assured. And when you’re single, that can be insanely magnetic. Like a cab with its light on, this silent signal announces to the world that you’re cool just cruising around on your own but also available. Well, Cosmo is putting a name to that powerful allure: single-babe energy (SBE for short). Emitting SBE can cause a noticeable shift in your dating life. Suddenly, you may get more compliments and be asked out more often. Who doesn’t want that? We sought out an array of ‘energy experts’—from astrologers to bodylanguage pros to psychics—to suss out what SBE means to them, and how you can emanate it.

'Femininity' Is Coming for Your Feminism

In the recording studio, Allie Beth Stuckey sits on a cream sofa, her blonde hair perfectly tousled. She leans into the microphone and speaks. She's chatty and fun, interspersing the serious with the silly and, at first glance, she's just like any other podcaster. In many ways, Stuckey's entire brand is built on being a regular 'girl's girl'. Her hair is impeccably blow-dried, she hates matcha, wears floral dresses, and throws in pop culture references like she's just another millennial on group chat. Her podcast is called Relatable and that's exactly what she wants to be to her listeners. But Stuckey isn't just here to chat. She's here to convert.
