Remember guys, that she's a woman doesn't mean she will tell you truth.

Not that she's lying, she's saying what she perceives to be true. What tickles her emotions.


Do the very opposite (with sense actually) of whatever advice a lady gives you

Not that! If he doesn't completely agree with the points I stated, is just to ignore. Rather than saying something so mean. How will he feel if I, or someone else had written something as such to anything else he had written??

Mean? He just gave his opinion of your write-up. Whatever he said and how ever he said it, it's still his opinion, and it's his right to air it. He doesn't have to agree with even 1% of your conclusion. You're just a bag of emotions, quench it a bit

Alright, we are all entitled to our opinions so no need to argue about it. Goodnight, and stay safe.
