		<description>It is unfortunate that not just men call a assertive, strong, succesful lady a bitch but so do many other woman out there.

That said i would like to praise the bitches as they have made the world a better place with exceptional approaches and insite few men would ever have.

My own male opinion is a Bitch does not make a worse Mother, Wife, Leader or even Lover unless the weak male is threatened by it.</description>

		<description>This is such a difficult topic. The problem with flirting is that, as your book says, the &quot;exception becomes the perception.&quot; If you flirt once with someone and then don&#039;t see them again for the rest of the night, that&#039;s all they will know you for!

My advice for men and women both on this topic is as follows:

* It&#039;s okay to compliment someone&#039;s appearance, but then MOVE ON to business topics

* It&#039;s never okay to make an innuendo or a crude joke at a business function. If someone does, MOVE ON to help them understand it&#039;s not okay. Or speak up!

* Mention your significant other EARLY in every conversation where there might be a risk of extended flirting. That helps you both to MOVE ON to the topic at hand!

Hope this helps. Thanks!</description>

		<description>This post wasn&#039;t nearly as invective as I thought it was going to be!

Someone once told me that a key difference between men and women is that while both expect the world to be unfair, men plan to make the world more unfair in their favor. I think that many women may tend to retreat when they should be assertive, and the whole world suffers as we are less likely to hear their point of view!</description>

		<description>Well said Beth!  I was just having this conversation with a male friend today and he was telling me how astounded he was once he became aware of it, how much girl watching went on at networking events.  

I love you tactics very much, how do you handle someone who is flirting with you?</description>

		<description>Thank you Hazel for stating how important it is to take flirting out of your networking!

I&#039;ve worked hard to avoid as much flirty-like behavior as possible, without being too serious. I&#039;ve found a couple approaches that seem to work for me:
1) I try to treat men and women as much alike as possible. In other words, I try to not act one way with men and another way with women.
2) I treat men my age or younger like I would my brother and older men like I would  my uncle or dad. No one flirts with their sister :-D !</description>

		<description>Joan, I understand that.  There is a great service call, Sendoutcards.com  you can create the card, even photos and they mail it for you. It is very affordable to use.  Let me know if you would like to learn more about that service.  Also, you can always have someone else do your cards for you for a small fee.  People don&#039;t really care about your and writing, in fact, I often put my business card in there just so they know it is from me, I have had several people say that it was a good thing or they would have guessed it was me.  Don&#039;t let your handwriting get in the way of making other feel great!</description>
