Some instructions for our FH's & DH's
The Point System
> In the world of romance, one single rule applies to the men: Make the
woman
> happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she
> dislikes, and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for
> doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.
