Men's Point System
Home Up A Prayer

 

In the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy!

Do something she likes and you get points.

Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted.

You don't get any points for doing something she expects.

Sorry, that's the way the game is played.

Here is a guide to the point system.
