More Rules from the Southern Belle

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF MEN

The ones who are interested in you and the rest.  The second kind are so misguided, they're not worth your time.  Because if a man doesn't have the sense to appreciate you, he obviously doesn't have any sense at all.  Rule #71

Never marry a man too stupid for you.  He'll spend the rest of your life getting even.  Rule #43

HOW TO KEEP A MAN HAPPY

Forget his stomach.  The surest way to keep a man happy is to become his cheerleader.  Rule #33

Men fantasize about being a knight and rescuing a maiden in distress.  Encourage this.  It's a good thing.  There's no reason for you ever to struggle pushing a heavy bag into an overhead compartment.  Ask him to do something easy for you and thank him sweetly.  He'll feel great about himself -- and you.  Rule #48

Men Are Easy

I talked to a beautiful young 20 something today who told me she was excited because someone invited her for a date.

"What!" I said. "You should be carrying rocks in your pocket to fend them off. What do you mean, you're excited?"

"I guess I'm not very encouraging. When I'm out with my girlfriends, I'm sort of out with them." She went on about how she discourages men.

"How's that working for you?"

She tried to change the subject. Finally she admitted it wasn't working out well at all. She dreams of having children, but I know too many lovely 40 somethings who are sitting home Saturday evenings, because they don't know how to encourage a man.

What she and any girl who's looking for love has to do when they go out on the town is to interview the men who come up to them and offer to buy them a drink.

The guys will love it. As I said in The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc, Rule #11 "Men always find themselves the most fascinating subject of any conversation."

Let him talk. He'll enjoy himself and you'll be interviewing for a bf. The point is, you want to find out if he's good enough for you.
