Rule number one for relationships..... Women have the one thing that all men want! Men will do anything for it. Some even pay for it! Of course, I'm talking about a home cooked meal!

As far as classes go.....I think that the most important class is an "all gender" class that basically deals with treating other individuals (in general) with a little more kindness and a little more compassion........Letting other people choose how they want to live thier private lives without trying to force feed your own personal religious beliefs down everybody elses throat.....if you want to protect things like the sanctity of marriage then start with your own marriage and leave everybody else alone.......these are the basics IMHO of course.....as far as gender issues go...I'm not a big believer in these things.....calling people and treating people with kindness shouldn't be a gender specific issue as far as I am concerned....it's just the right way to treat other fellow human beings. peace out, newmastersswimmer

The way I see it, it's flattering if men think women look younger than their actual age. The one thing I've learned is to be a good listener. Open your ears and pay attention to what she says, no matter how you're feeling at the time. ...And if you're going to complement a woman, do it in a civilized manner, fellas. "WOW! You're HOT!" will only get you in trouble. "You're looking great this fine Saturday Morning!" Although subtle, it gets the point across maturely. Tips for meeting women in the pool when you go swimming: 1. If a woman asks to share lanes with you, say "Yes!" no matter what your favorite lane is (Lane 5). 2. If you stumble across a lovely, attractive woman at the pool, tis best not to stare, staring only leads to getting slapped. 3. *this applies to #2* If you're truly attracted, don't say the first thing that pops in your head. Edit yourself for heaven's sake! ...and if you can't think of a mature thing to say, just keep quiet, but at the same time don't look creepy and scare her off. 4. Compliment her swimming technique when she's done working out. I always find this very useful. 5. DON'T OVER DO IT! If she likes you, don't rush it and don't stalk her. It's creepy for both genders, not just women. 6. Find something you both have in common. 7. Never, ever use the Johnny Bravo Meathod "Hey there aquatic mama, how's about you an' I share a lane and swim laps in the pool of love!" 8. Show respect. 9. Always be a gentlemen 10. Be a good sport. If she beat you on that 50 Fly, don't whine about it. Suck it up and take it like a man.
