		The Female Merit/Demerit System...... 
    
    In the world of romance, one single rule applies: 
    
    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 system 
is set up.
