Female authors you should read: Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Nancy Mitford, Elizabeth Gaskell and Daphne Du Maurier. My favourite female author is of course Agatha Christie, but it's not exactly what you'd call high literature.

Your sister obviously doesn't have my super muscles :D No seriously, my boyfriend and I are pretty much evenly matched when it comes to arm wrestling. And in this day and age, there's more to the protection of your loved ones than physical strength.

In this scenario, I don't care if it's a man or a woman with me. Although common sense/paranoia usually prevent me from wandering the streets at 1 AM alone, I have on occasion been stuck waiting for a taxi alone on the main street of my town at night and not felt any more threatened than I would...

I think it's for definite societal. As for men having a supplemental urge to protect, who's to say that women don't have this too? I for one frequently feel the need (whether it's rational or not) to protect the people I love, be they male or female, older or younger than me, etc. And I'm a woman.

It's kind of disrespectful. We no longer live in an age where women need chaperones and protectors, and I for one like it when men recognize this. It's not the most disrespectful thing somebody could say to you, but I'd be pretty irked if somebody said it to me (even jokingly), and probably...

Yeah this actually. Would totally be sickened if somebody said this to me, boyfriend or not, with the whole care-taking implications. KiplingsCat walks by her lone self. Most other women I know would be cut from the same cloth as me in that regard, I think.

No wonder you are alone, with an attitude like that.

or D) She was taken aback by the obvious and poorly disguised enquiry into her relationship status and didn't know how to react to a customer coming on to her.

This "bullshit" is personal experience, my friend. Girls aren't evil supergeniuses. We're often just as confused as boys. But if we **** up, or get scared, or change our minds, we get completely vilified for it. And that's bullshit too. Because usually we didn't mean it. This concept of "leading...

Listen, fishdude. You guys are what, like 18? Most 18 year old girls haven't a clue what they're doing. Trust me. I was one not too long ago. So all this stuff about reading signs and playing mind games and stuff is nonsense. You can't play mind games with somebody who doesn't know their own...

Yes, yes we do. I think I'm going to adopt this as my business strategy from now on: 1. Get kissed 2. Pretend to be shocked and unhappy 3. ???? 4. Profit!

I don't think kissing is really everything. All we're really looking for is intimate physical contact. We don't really care how it happens much (although everybody has their own little preferences and quirks). Um...why? As a woman, I'm totally cool with tongues, be it on the first kiss or...

Yes I agree 100% with this. I've run from potentially enjoyable relationships before because guys have asked for commitment too soon and it's freaked me out. Just go with the flow.

Oh god, I'd forgotten about the chapped lips! I had them for the whole first month of my relationship with Current Boyfriend.

Get drunk first. Kissing is awesome, and very very easy, when you're drunk. If, for some reason, you want to stay sober for this, my best advice would be to kind of build up to it. Don't just randomly start kissing her; take her hand first, maybe, or put your arm around her, and just gradually...

I sang this a couple of years ago and then kind of forgot about it for a while...until a week ago when I decided I'd rather like to hear it again, and since then have been listening to it non-stop. It's really powerful. Samuel Barber: Prayers of Kierkegaard Sorry there's no video...they've...

Makes me wish I actually had my license so I could be all like yeah drivey drivey damn you Saudi Arabia! (Although that said, I lost my virginity well before I could drive. To a guy who has a car and drives me everywhere).

I kept reading "kiting" as 'knitting" which made your story sound really funny.

Yeah this is what I meant when I said professional help. Talking to a psychologist or a counselor is something that everybody should do at some stage in their lives, I think. You don't have to wait until you've already gone crazy to do it.

Who appointed you this woman's psychologist? Do you think it's really up to you to "diagnose" her with anything? If she's very unhappy or suicidal, suggest that she see someone who can professionally help her. If not, just listen and be her friend. I've never really believed that books...
