		<description>1. This really depends on the content of the joke. This also really has nothing to do with whether a woman is confident within herself or not. A first date already involves nervous feelings. There's no reason to bring the this to a girl's attention in a sarcastic way. In fact, if a woman is eating anything beyond salad in front of you...you should compliment her! It's all about the positivity on a first date.

2. There really is NO reason why anyone with class should bring up sex on a first date. If things progress to a few dates, then discuss away. However, on the first date it's just sleezy and trashy. Oh...and you're most likely a player anyways. 

3. Ok. What ever happened to chivalry. I think it's terrific that women have become so strong and independent. HOWEVER, having said that, I feel some have caused: A. Men to feel emasculated. B. Men to no longer feel it necessary to play the role of men. It's never kind, polite OR classy for a man not to pay for a first date. Once you've started to date regularly, it's nice for the woman to treat every now and then. However, a first date...NO NO NO! 

4. The bottom line with the action movie is this...The man should ask what the woman is interested in seeing, and they should decide together. Aren't potential relationships based on chemistry, common interests, etc? While someone may not mind a girl who dislikes action flicks; another may be turned off by it. 

5. Unless the call is important, answer it later. Your date should be your first priority. 

* I feel certain people need to put things into perspective. So many in society seem to be of the "me" mindset. Also, it's not a contest between men and women to prove whose better, but has lately more than ever become that. Let's celebrate the gifts and differences within the sexes, and remember why we choose each other!</description>

		<description>I'm sure women are capable of judging a dating situation. Why would anybody need a silly list like this?

FYI, Justin, different people like different things, and I know quite a few girls who would be offended if their guy would offer to pay for dinner.</description>

		<description>Well of course the context matters - if you're female and insecure when a guy jokingly says, "Whoa! You're eating all that? :)" and you can't say, "Yes actually, I eat this much all the time and look at me - I could outrun you anytime ;)"

Depends on what aspect of sex you're talking about. I like talking about sex - I would much rather know that he's into kinky sex before the actual sex - maybe the first date isn't as appropriate as the nth date but it's very relative - talking about sex with a friend (who's now my date) versus talking about sex with a stranger are very different stories.

Whoever asks for the date should pay. Plain and simple. If the woman asks for the date and doesn't even offer to pay, she's a bitch. The same goes for a guy. No one is special.

This next one should really say, "Takes you to a movie without even asking you what you might want to see" 

There are many taboo and many excepted times to be answering your phone - lulls in conversations that are saved by phone calls are not always bad. The point is that they should be short and sweet. You can't know from the caller ID that something bad hasn't happened.</description>

		<description>This thread is really more what to not do around prudish women than saying anything for men.

1. Get a sense of humor

2. Women think sex jokes are funny too, it's not all about women just making men wait until they put out.  Flirting is fun and there isn't a time limit on it.

3. There is zero reason men should still be required to do this.  Most men do, but implying that it makes men a jerk is silly.

4. Women who can't appreciate action movies are not worth my time. 

5.  It's rude to talk on the phone, its not rude to answer it and tell them you're busy you can talk later.  I live in the real world where sometimes people call me because they *need* me, not to chat.</description>

		<description>How about:
"My car has died, can you pick me up"?

"Wow! your kid sister looks hot, why not let her come too!"

"Thats a great looking dress! my ex had one just like it"

"I am going to pop into the supermarket,---Coke and milkshakes are much cheaper than at the cinema complex"

"Trust me the starters in this eating house are a rip off"

"If we bump into my ex, put your arms around me and kiss me hard."

I like to go to XXX because thats where all my friends hang out."

"When the show is over how would you like to go to the Sports bar and watch the big match live."

"Can we use your card to pay, mine has been declined,---I will bring the cash round when i next see you."

" Your are the first graduate l have gone out with, l find them too geeky and sexually backward."

" would you like to come to my place for a joint before we go out, l cannot handle stuffy places if l am straight."

" do you mind if l lay the back seats down, its a hassle doing it in the dark, when we park up later."

" Your mom has a big butt, l hope yours isnt going to go the same way."

"You have to meet my mother, if she does not like you, she will try to stop me seeing you again."

"can you put on something less sexy, l do not want to have to spend the night watching men stare at you."

"Have you ever considered a three-some?"</description>
