The sucsess of DirectorTsaarx's answer is directly related to how sincerely you can deliver that um, er, balony. With just the right tone inflection and inocent look you will get lucky and not slapped. (unless you want to be slapped but I'm not going there).

Advice from an old goat:

You are always wrong.

Start with that premise and you can never go wrong. Woman love to forgive a man. Who cares if you're right in any event? Give your ego a rest.

The corollary to the above is the answer to the question:

Would you rather be right or married?

To ALL;

Let's face it the LADDER, is a theory nothing more!! It maybe an Icon to some. To others it's just bunk. So, I will grant you your rights to worship anything you wish. We are just going to have to agree, that we disagree. I am never going to change your minds. And you will certainly never change mine.

ELOWAN is correct. You are always wrong.

DirectorTsaarx, if the amount of boldface, italics and bold italics makes you happy, then you used the right amount!!

Gryphin, realty is always welcome here. As far as I am concerned!!

If during a family argument it turns out that you are right... APOLOGIZE IMMEDIATLY!!!

Thanks for the advice! Your words are wise. It IS very important to be sincere, caring, and honest in a relationship.

Just in case I need it, I'll have to practise the innocent look and inflection in the mirror until I get it right. However, I'm not going to step on a girl's foot to try to make a first impression, I just don't think that's a nice thing to do!

"You are always wrong."

corollary: The woman is always right.

Gryphin, well said. What you say is very true.

And I am by no means and expert, either. I have better than average luck with women. That doesn't mean I am an expert. However I do have life experiences that make me a little more knowledgeable than others. I feel wisdom should be pasted along. Don't you??

Kamog, I am glad to hear that you don't plan on stepping on some ones feet!

Guys, I'm not an expert by any means but I must be doing something right. While I was still looking around for someone permanent I always told all of my dates about the existance of all of my dates. Eventualy I ended up going on dates with 2 of them at the same time. They were so apriciative of being told the truth that they felt dating that way was better. The rule that I soon discoverd:
If I like someone, anyone else I like will like them. My dates always hit it off and a good time was had by all.
My sweetheart who moved in after a month wants to find another woman to move in with us. She really liked the chemistry of the "Triple Date".
I am not making this up.
The key is:
Open Honesty, Sincere Caring, Backing up claims of love with action such as taking out the garbage, picking up your dirty cloths, and putting the seat down. It does not hurt to bring home a rose or two but that does not count as much as the above.

Still open for bussiness, MONKEY or otherwise! No need to shy away. People often have different views/ideas. Shoot, it's what makes this country great. I hope there isn't anyone with hurt feelings.

We have a saying here... 'women and job offers never show up alone'. If you have a GREAT job offer, you will have another equally great offer before the week is out. If you meet a woman who seems to find you attractive, you will meet another very soon. The downside is, if you have none you are bound to stay that way.

As to being married... the wife always tells me our marriage contract has three paragraphs:

1. The wife is always right.

2. If for some reason she is wrong, read the first paragraph.

3. The fact that the wife is right does not mean the husband must support her ideas.

(well at least 1 out of 3 is in my favor)...
