Women Prefer Impressing Their Friends On A Night Out

Women would rather impress other females on a night out as opposed to the opposite sex; that is according to a new survey conducted by feelunique.

Of those polled, half said they spend hours getting ready for a night out – purely so they can impress their friends. In fact, when it comes to clothes, hair and make-up issues, one in 20 women admitted to caring more about the opinions of their closest friends than that of a man. A further two-thirds said they prefer receiving a compliment from another woman, rather than from a man they don't know, while eight in 10 women feel a 'buzz' when someone they don't know pays them a compliment.

When it comes to compliments women are more likely to praise their fellow females' hair (25%), and 10% said they get comments on their make-up. For one in 20, their shoes received vast amounts of attention. However, when it was men paying a compliment, they were more likely to pass a comment on a woman's chest area or just simply say, "You look nice", regardless of what they were wearing or what they looked like.

It's all friendly between the ladies though, as one in 10 confessed to rivalry over who in their group of friends looks the best. 26% described it as "friendly competition", but for a ruthless 15% they said they refused to pay their mates a compliment, and one in five will "critique" what their friend wore after a night out.

A spokesperson for feelunique commented: "It's great that women are out to impress other women and not necessarily the opposite sex. The chances are other females will be a lot more in tune with make-up and style than men will be so it's no wonder new clothes and the latest beauty look are lost on men.

"We know from our customers that women love woman to woman advice so it's no surprise they're out to impress the same sex. It's sometimes great to hear from another woman that they love your new hairstyle – it can often mean you're bang on trend."
