A Guide for Men

For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when
dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works. Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy! Do something she likes - and you get points. Do something she dislikes - and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the
game is played. Here is a guide to the points system:

Love it! Especially the 'any other response' to the 'Does this make me look fat' question.

Do you women know the panic that is induced in a man's head when you ask questions like that? ;)
