7 WAYS
 To Catch a Man V @ Q V g @ v

Danger!
 With the sex appeal you can catch almost any kind of a man, good, bad or indifferent
 As the candle flame attracts moths so the women of the sex appeal at tracts men But the wise moths and the wise men flutter away to a safer harbor
 It is the easiest way to get them, but it is the hardest way to hold them. Even if you marry them there is danger ahead.
 A marriage not based on mutual respect cannot be happy.
 The sex appeal does not last
 The girl who tries to catch a man this way is very foolish Men are att tracted generally only for a little while and seldom to the point of mar riage.
 Then she has to catch another and another until her charms are faded and gone.
 In the whirlwind of passion. hate and love are closely linked, and fre- quently exchange places.
 If a girl be unskilled in the art of sex attraction she becames vulgar ill the attempt. If skilled the intelligent man is apt to thing, Who taught her all this" His respect for her is dead.
 This way is the best way to get candy and flowers. maybe jewels, but the worst way to try to hold man.
