often more spiteful and vengeful than men.
7. Women often use tears as a tool to make men feel sympathetic
towards them, and give them what they want.
8. In a job or professional situation, women often have an
advantage over equally competent men, because women can
use flirting and sex as well as competence to get ahead,
while me have only competence.
9. If they could get away with it, a lot of women college
students who were doing badly in a course would have
sex with the professor in order to get a better
grade.

with someone other than his wife, as long as he does
his best to protect his wife's feelings by not letting
her find out.
19. A lot of so-called "date rape" involves women who consented
to sex but later cried rape to protect their reputations.
20. Casual sex before marriage is more acceptable for men than
for women.
21. I can see how a woman might have sex before marriage with a
guy she really cares about, but a woman who has sex with
guys she doesn't know well because she finds them physically
attractive, is a slut.

just to hook men int giving them what they want.
23. Women often play hard to get sexually in order to protect
their reputation, even when they secretly feel aroused.

the woman he cares about.

of the woman he loves.

feel safe and secure knowing they have a man around
who can look after them and protect them.

are trying to get back at a guy who they voluntarily
had sex with but who didn't want to see them again.
32. A good woman is like a rare gem. A man who is lucky
enough to find one should treasure and protect her.
