Smile

This is how you smile pretty.  This is how you apply lipstick.  Don’t wear too much makeup.  This is how you wear mascara.  This is how you kiss a man.  This is how you have sex.  Don’t be too easy.  Don’t be high maintenance.  Don’t be a slut.  Don’t be a bitch.  What are you—a feminist?  This is how you make him feel like he’s the best you’ve ever had.  Don’t mention the porn he watches.  No, of course it doesn’t bother you.  This is how you drink champagne.  He wants a lady.  This is how you drink beer.  He wants you to be able to be one of the guys.  This is how you order wine.  Don’t drink too much.  Learn to tell when he’s had enough.  You are ready to go when he is ready to go.  You are never too tired for sex—unless he is too tired for sex, then of course you don’t want it.  This is how you make a meal.  This is how you rub his feet.  Stand up for yourself, but don’t be too demanding.  Let him feel needed, but don’t be needy.  Wear that dress he likes.  This is how you paint your nails.  This is how you shave your legs.  This is how you walk in high heels.  Be considerate, he’s under a lot of pressure at work.  This is how you say a hard thing in a sweet way. Always remember to smile—you’re prettier when you smile.
