I poorly used the word criticize, she had advised me, in a compassionate, caring and totally honest way. I literally had no one else to talk to given the circumstances, and she was there, as I think many of these ladies are for us.
I may still play the fool as my heart is still full of the object of my affection, but I certainly understand the consequences more completely.
How horrible to think we don't dress because of the female gender and the higher standards they have set. I believe we are evolving by aspiring to be ladies.
