Okay, here it is. Shut the F&%K up! Stop talking. Let her talk and keep your mouth shut until she invites you to say something. Say it quick, make sure whatever you say is about her; preferably a question about her, then shut up again until the next time she stops talking long enough for you to say something else about her.

Here's three totally safe comments: How do you feel about that? Tell me more. That's interesting.

I disagreed with all the stuff. Sounded like it was written by a feminist pretending to be a man. Definitely by someone who doesn't know much.

Each pairing is unique. Not just "men are this way," "women are this way."

An intelligent date IS a huge turn-on. You can be drop-dead gorgeous and it means nothing if you're not really bright. To me. It's what's on the inside that makes what's on the outside beautiful or handsome. Surely we all know gorgeous people who are braindead and unactractive thereby. Or less than gifted physically, yet you always want to be in their presence, and don't even notice any flaws.
