I'm like - "Hang on, I JUST told you I write CVs for a living, do you really think I need your advice on how to do the job I've been doing successfully for 16 years?"
Without fail, every single time.

Why do you do that?
Every man does that? Without a doubt? Every single time?
Every time a man has asked me what I do, he tells me how to do my job, yes.

Not some men? Do women ever do it?
I've never had a woman do it, they generally change the subject or ask questions like - how long have I been doing it?

Where do you meet these men?
Where do you meet anyone? At parties, events, out to dinner with friends, gigs, flea markets - Just the normal places where people meet other people and you start chatting.
Well explained... :wink:

Seems rather unfortunate that you just seem to meet the worst of the male species.
There are some pretty decent, solid fellas out there. In fact I'd suggest that they are the majority.

If you only seem to meet the worst... Maybe you could be part of the problem. Or maybe you are just very unlucky.

Ahh Ladybirds books, such nostalgia and reminded me of simpler happy times.
