Meanwhile, when talking about men we’d snap our figers and say “Rules,Rules…”… (like in the sixties beatnick era when they snapped their fingers and said “groove”). Was funny anyhow…

But got Barbara DeAngelis’ book “The Real Rules”. She lays down the real 411. Knew at the time that my boyfriend was failing miserably as he was one of the immature “chase and conquer” types which she outlines.

And anyway, your male friend is just as bad himself … surely he should have no respect for himself by his own strange moral code? What kind of game is he playing?

I think the problem is, he’s playing a game. I’ve no time for that & don’t like the duplicity of a man who doesn’t just come out and state his intentions clearly. Weird that he thinks there is something wrong with sleeping with someone at all, at any time, first, second, third or 31st date. Some strange hangup about sex? Poor guy, he needs to see someone about that.

On the other hand a British famous female journalist always says you should sleep with them on the 1st date so you can get rid of the crap ones quickly….

take your pick!
