Dating Advice for Women: Stop Working So Hard

Remember Jerry Hall, the model who married Mick Jagger? Jerry was
famous for making this statement:

"My mother said it was simple to keep a man. You must be a maid in the
living room, a cook in the kitchen, and a whore in the bedroom."

If keeping a man meant all that work, I'd have stayed single.

In addition to that pearl of wisdom, Ms. Hall offered this one: "Even
if you have only two seconds, drop everything and give him (oral sex).
That way he won't really want sex with anyone else."

Poor Jerry. Too bad her mother didn't tell her that if a man tends to
want sex with "anyone else," he's not great husband material.

Sadly, despite all her hard work, Mick Jagger continued to have sex
with other people and fathered a child with another model during his
marriage to Hall. They are now divorced. So much for keeping a man!

The point? No guy is worth running yourself ragged for. Instead of
appreciating your efforts, he will likely take you for granted and come to
resent you. Think about it: Do you fall for guys who are at your beck
and call all the time? They're great for helping you move, but you
probably wouldn't marry one.

All right. Let's say you decide to move in with a guy. Before you run
out to Bed Bath & Beyond, it's absolutely imperative that you talk to
your boyfriend about sharing household chores. It's not romantic, but
you'll save yourself much misery in the end. And whatever you do, don't
get off on the wrong foot by cooking dinner every night and doing his
laundry.

Resist any and all impulses to "wife and mother" the guy. Otherwise,
he'll take you for granted, or even worse, marry you and expect you to be
his servant for the rest of your life. And that's definitely not
romantic!

Allow a man to cook for you for a change. Let him do your laundry every
now and then. There's no reason to expect him to be your maid in the
living room, cook in the kitchen, or whore in the bedroom, but every
once in a while it wouldn't hurt.

Remember: You have a lot to offer (if you don't believe me, take
out a pen and paper and write down a list of the qualities that make
you special; emphasize things like your sense of
humor, leave off your ability to fold a fitted sheet).

Don't let a guy do you any favors. Keep this in mind: You're a great
girl, and he'd be lucky to have you.
