girl power

1. You don't have to call them every day, just to let them know you're not fighting

2. You don't have an anniversary--you just sort of "became" best friends.

3. When someone calls your girlfriend/boyfriend your "partner" it makes you think of marriage. When they call your best friend your partner, it's more like cops.

4. You never have to touch your best friend when it's hot outside, but you can stull huddle close when it's freezing.

5. Your parents usually like your best friend.

6. Your best friend doesn't care if you get fat, you're ugly, or if you get a bard haircut.

So men are no longer wearing ties. Even in Asia where men have traditionally been more formal, I notice that several companies have relaxed their dress codes. Particularly on Friday, I see that a lot of men no longer dress formal. I hear that they think they look stiff. I have always had problem with men, particularly Asian men, associating ties with stiffness. In fact I think otherwise. A tie actually adds color and charm to their otherwise dull clothes. When they switch to drab white shirts and black slacks there is nothing to remember about them.
