vs World

Don’t wear skirts
Or anything that scopes above the knees
Because you’re asking for it

Don’t take too much time getting ready
You are trying too hard
But take enough time that you don’t look like a slob

Your body has to be petite
Skinny
But not too skinny
Thats gross
And not large
That's also gross

Never be caught with hair on your body
Only the hair on your head
A gentleman will never like you
If your body doesn’t resemble that of a child

Talking too much is annoying
But if you're quiet that's peculiar

Let men do everything for you
They don’t find it sexy if you aren’t helpless
Your emotions and body are fragile

We start by trying to please the surrounding environment
And finish by finding clarity within
