Attention Ladies of the Garden,

We've approached freedom, and we all want to have a wonderful time having fun~. But, we women should always protect ourselves in this new environment. We're beautiful flowers who should not be trampled upon!

So just keep these points in mind:

1. Never, ever introduce yourself first. Men come to us, don't they? It's only fair that they give their name first too.

2. Check guys for fashion coordination. If they can't figure out that not all patterns go together, they aren't worth our precious time.

3. Stay moisturized. No one likes dry skin.

4. If a man asks your age, you tell him 'I can't marry you', because only your husband should know such vital information! The same goes for weight.

5. If he offers to pay, let him. You can make it up to him later~.

6. Woman's intuition is never wrong. Trust it!

7. Above all else, stay beautiful! Who doesn't want to feel their best? Maintain proper maintenance, and you'll dazzle!

Of course there's so much more, but these are the basics any woman should know. Questions? Leave them here? Adoration? That goes here too~!


From one concerned woman,
Grell ♥

[If you could only SEE the hysterical laughter from Marco. But of course, externally, it's deadpan as usual.]

That's highly vital information.

[Grell would love to see him laugh!]

It would be a shame to keep all this wisdom to myself!

I just hope I don't need to add anything. I'd rather not get lengthy and stifling.

[Gwendolyn takes a long moment just... staring at the BBS post, wondering what this is all about.]

Why does most of your advice seem related to courtship?

[redcinemareel]

Most vacations lead to just that. But it never hurts to be prepared for the long run!

What's wrong with asking a girl how old she is?

DONE

[redcinemareel]

It's just plain rude and inconsiderate to a woman's feelings! Not all women are comfortable with such questions. And really, why...WHY does it need mentioning?!

Why don't men just stick with her personality and good traits rather than go and be a nitwit and ask such personal information?!

[fierybluebird]

Is this a common thing in your world?

[time-to-reap.livejournal.com]

Must I remind you that you are not a lady.

[redcinemareel]

You're going to need proof~!

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

This going to be on a test?

[redcinemareel]

I'm not that cruel~!

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

... You sound like my uncle.

[redcinemareel]

Your uncle is a smart man~.

Another point would be to try and use a woman's wiles to get somewhere or get something.

[redcinemareel]

I would think that's obvious. ♥

[You know Sokka is standing around scratching his head before he finally responds to this.]

What do you mean they can make it up later? I don't want to pay for everything.

AND JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO PAY FOR YOUR DINNERS IN DOLET.

[redcinemareel]

Are you asking me out on a date~?

[zeroth-card.livejournal.com]

I would ask if there are men who don't know to respect those points, but I'm friends with a few, so...

[redcinemareel]

Why don't you take a survey~?

[rebellingheart]

You know. Some of these points aren't so bad, but it seems a little dated.

1. There's nothing wrong with being the one to introduce yourself first or even being the one to initiate things! [She's a little defensive about this point in particular]

2. Looks are important, but ruling a guy out just because of his clothes? That's taking things a little too far isn't it?

4. While I'm not about to tell someone my age or my weight that's just silly. I'm not going to answer with "I can't marry you"! Maybe something about how it's none of his business, but I doubt either one is something that comes up in normal conversations very often.

[redcinemareel]

Actually, they aren't for me. [18th Century London and all.]

1. It's considered unladylike for a woman to be so bold as to introduce herself first. It makes her look desperate.

2. Not at all.

4. As I've stated, such information is private and vital. If a man doesn't know that, your answer should make things clear.

Anything else~?

[heartranked.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, that list must be one of the best things I've read in some time.

[redcinemareel]

Your words of appreciation mean so much! ♥
