girls might want to think about not engaging in, based on a few I've known:

1. Gross anorexia and/or bingeing and purging, especially beyond the age of 30. I stress the word 'gross' since some have realized the benefits of a slight anorexic way by the escalating standard of overconsumption.

2. Use of illegal substances, especially in the context of dates with guys, including cocaine, crack cocaine, mary jane, ecstacy, meth, etc.

3. Excessive alcohol consumption or use of heroin, especially in the context of using at home to get by with whatever 'issues' you may be having. Go legit here. Some really do need risperdal and not necessarily doctor or clinic issued phentermine.

4. Having sex on a first or second date... I don't care who you think you are, you won't be happy about it when the guy doesn't marry you or isn't interested in providing for you. At some point you will have to realize, a guy is not going to respect you. Period.

5. Dating a guy with a reputation. He really IS an a-hole.

6. Relying on anyone for any of your basic needs beyond the age of 18 or say 21, for the luckier ones.

7. Dressing sexy, wearing make-up. It's for clowns, hookers and movie star status wannabes. Do you remember what you look like?

8. Thinking like a girl. Sorry, I can't really help you much here. Life is going to have to disappoint or delude you enough for you to either figure it out or continue you along your merry estee lauderish way.

9. Screwing around with one or all of your bosses, unless you're man enough to handle it.

10. Having too many children beyond your emotional/financial/physical ability. Is there any worse disgrace?

11. Listening to any of your girlfriends, aunts, mothers. Find a true mentor. You will recognize one, when you awake from the haze of your self/family/society/convention-imposed limitations/expectations and you can stop and breathe for a moment while thinking of something other than whether or not you are fat. You may even fall in love in a sort of way, as it may be the first time you've been shown any true respect.

12. You are not that interested in pleasing your man and are not interested in fighting for him. Fighting with another female. Is she your equal? Then why not he have two or more than one. You are one and the same.

13. And finally, keeping a deadbeat boyfriend around for, what is it?

Ummmmmmmm yeah ok...

I think you haven't known enough sane one's to give clear and sound advice.. But thanks for TRYING...

You know, at first, I didn't get your point since it starts out with things that are good advice and common sense and 'why would anyone want to anyway' statements.

But you totally lost me on 7 and 8.

Um, people generally like to look their best, not frumpy and dowdy. But if that's what turns you on, fine by me.

And 8. Don't think like a girl? Um, you want all us women to think like men? Sorry, I like being a woman. I'm glad I am one. And men and women are wired differently.

Maybe you ought to consider swinging the other way if you don't want girls to think like girls or to act like girls.

Most girls are guilty of one of these, perhaps #11. You may be unusually intelligent or exceptional, Indian Princess.

I think the advice here is clear.

7 and 8 i mean as compliments for girls. Do women enjoy emulating gay men, you know, life in drag?

I bet it took you a long time to think about this...But this is not true for all women

Seik, thank you but really you don't know women that well.. Some of the advice may be good but for the most part it's incorrect... Perhaps if you're speaking to young women who haven't lived or experienced life yet..

The makeup part was SO OFF!!!

No, we're not supposed to generalize.

Girls are afraid to live without their make-up. the process is painstaking for a lot of you and for what result/expense? a face that needs to be washed and more trips to visit other girls to tell you how to look beautiful.

Not everyone is pretty or beautiful, but make-up in general does not hide or disguise, only exemplifies.

Hmm, remarkably strange advice. Thanks, but I'll have to pass

Did ya know strawberries are awesome for jam they squish easily?

Best of all there is nothing inside a strawberry, just bite right in.

Well, now I know what I have been doing wrong all this time! Thank you!

mmmmm strawberries

Strawberries ten to get ripe extra fast..... Always be sure to wash them before eating them.

OK whereeeeeeeeeeeeez my risperadol????

Am I or am I not surprised there are or aren't any male members interested to post on the topic.

For the female mind is delicate, fertile ground, liberation within constraint may be one sanction.

This is literally outside the box advice.
