A discussion about all things men and women. The notorious @croatianwhiteclawdaddy answers girls' questions on all things dating, including exclusive takes on: Best drinks to order on a date, the most attractive styles of clothing, male/female friendships, long distance relationships, having a 'physical type' vs. a 'personality type', why people cheat (& why you shouldn't care).
