There is one exception; I live in a town where a lot of military are training before being deployed, and there is nothing more flattering than a well-mannered man in uniform saying "Ma'am, I just have to tell you, I think you're beautiful." Too bad most men are not like that...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-9498161448662306332007-10-08T23:05:00.000-04:002007-10-08T23:05:00.000-04:00I love your style & your awesome legs!

But, saying unflattering things about your current girlfriend to another woman and asking her out is something totally different. It is called being a douchepop and it makes you worthy of being dumped.
