Life’s rules
25. If all else fails, live by these three rules:
(1) Never trust a woman who shags married men.
for me: AND never 100% trust anyone who knowingly flirts with people in relationships. Take it from me, these people are morally deficient.
(2) Never make a deal with a guy who wears a white belt.
for me: dealbreaker would be the uber recognisable Hermes belt with the big H buckle. If you’re really interested in him, give him a chance to explain why he made this sartorial faux pas, coquettishly tell him you’d like to borrow it and buy him a classier one with no visible branding. Perhaps I should add, never take a guy seriously when he’s too in love with showing off his labels. This could only mean one thing – small. penis.
(3) Never try to be “friends” when the affair is over. Not even the great Gatsby could make Daisy stay. After she slobbered over his shirts, it was pretty much finished.
for me: arguable but needless to say, some distance is always healthy.
This excerpt is from a 2010 Elle column called 25 Things Every Woman Should Know that keeps popping up unexpectedly, as if to remind me to keep myself in check. Thought it was time to share it with the rest of you. You can read the rest of the brilliant and very true column here.
