As your friend said - try to think of what you like in a guy, too. I'm sure you want to be with a guy who doesn't always talk about shopping, celebrity gossip, and how he's watching his weight.
So, while it's ok to occasionally talk about "blokish" topics (after the Red Sox won the World Series, I had a short and pleasant convo about them with a guy), why not stick to more neutral subjects?
Work is a neutral subject. So is current events. TV shows. Movies. I mean, more than 70% of subjects are neutral and perfectly "safe" to talk about.
About looks - here in NYC, there a lot of incredibly cute tomboyish girls. It's not about having big hair and wearing dresses - but about looking stylish. They have adorable pixie hair cuts, wear enough mascara to make their eyelashes look amazingly long, and have glossy lips. They wear tight jeans with awesome belts, converse shoes spray painted with grafitti, but a really feminine looking top, with dainty necklaces and earrings. Most guys go crazy for these girls.
Above all else, it really is about being super comfy with yourself. Know that you are a rare combo of tomboy girl. You're independent. You're cute. You're smart. Right there, you are already a total catch!
