    I actually wholeheartedly agree with all the advice! I think it still applies today - I keep trying to tell my single BM to do these things and she doesn't listen - the guy never ever calls her for a 2nd date.

    Okay I have got to say.... other than the no talking while dancing thing I think all of this is pretty good advice for a firs date! Obviously you can't maintain this throughout a relationship (and who would want to?). But generally being interested, put together, and not annoying are all good goals for date #1 :)

    I would agree that this is good for a first date, but how is a guy supposed to get to know you if you don't relax?

    True story re: girdle tugging.

    Today I went around dropping off resumes at schools (trying to get a teaching job). As I was walking up a TOTALLY ABANDONED sidewalk, my Spanx had rolled down (I have the super-high waisted ones), so I covertly looked around, decided noone was looking and reached under my sweater to pull the top back up. When I walked in the office to drop my resume, the secretary looked at me like I had 3 heads and thats when I realized there was a HIGHLY reflective window that I had not noticed that looked out on the "abandoned" sidewalk I was yanking my girdle up on. Sigh.

    This is pretty funny.  It paints a pretty bad picture of women (by the condescending tone), but I think it's even more insulting to men!  Makes them seem like one dimensional, shallow, self involved jerks.  Yikes, my guy isn't like that and I'm sure guys in that era weren't all that bad either.

    When FI sent me this, I told him that the next time he was driving us somewhere, I was going to twist the rearview mirror over so I could use it to check my lipstick. What, he can just turn around to see what's behind him!

    @Thiscan'tbehappening Oh NO, that's awful! Lol yeah sometimes you never know who can see you.
