“women are more gullible” is more to the point. We just are.
And I am female, so no one need flame me. I know my weaknesses.
As we mature most of us realize we have gullible tendencies and we try to compensate.
Which is why teenage girls must be guarded like limping sheep.
Thank you for not flaming me. I thought twice about posting that, but really believed it was true. Not to worry...we men have our tendencies too ;) Examples available upon request...
Best rule we ever had in our house is absolutely no dating until she turns 16, then she's got to have the guy pick her up at home to meet the father.
The best thing about this rule is the worst guys moved on from the get-go. Those who were left and willing to go through the Dad screening process were generally of much higher quality.
My girls thought the rule was weird at the time, but they thank me for it now.
There is a cure for this. Spend a couple years in D.C. and soon you wont believe anything that anyone says.
