Hilarious. Made even more so by the fact that she quotes the Song of Songs at the end.

Edit: Woo I'm stacked now! Bring in the shelves.

What, is it like your brains having sex or something?

[ladypuglover]

Ah, to be a teen again and have all of life's answers. :roll:

[Elle]

Wait wait wait. She's a member of the club that says women should be doormats for anyone with a penis, but she says it annoys men when women do things for them?

Another thing that is a known fact that cause guys to stumble, is when a girl puts lipstick/lip gloss, and even chapstick, on in front of them. It draws attention to the girl’s lips, and…that can lead to impure thoughts. I see girls do this a lot, and no, it might not seem like a big deal to us girls, but let’s try to help our brothers out, okay?

If my brother wants to hop on me in the sack because I put on Chapstick, then he's got issues I don't know about and that he probably should get therapy for. Men see our mouths. We talk. Or should we shut up so our mouths stay still?

When a girl pays a guy a compliment – a compliment that is just unnecessary – it’s…bad.

Oh bull shit. No compliments are really necessary in the scheme of things, but they make people feel good.

And that bit about catching someone's eye? That just means you need someone's attention for something much of the time.

It's funny to read things written by kids who think they're adults.

Is that Regina Spektor winking at the top of that post?

Also, "‘oh my word, you’re so funny!’" is exactly what I always say to guys when I flirt. Verbatim.

[Inanna]

One of the "related" interviews has this little tidbit:

"I don’t think any serious relationship has been sparked because someone flirted enough till they caught someone else’s attention."

... really? Because every serious relationship I've ever had probably started because I was a giant flirt. :P

[debrand]

Poor kid. She thinks she knows how relationships work and she's never been in one. LOL Apparently, the young woman doesn't know the definition of contradiction. A poster named Mary left a comment explaining that she and her husband still flirted with other people.

Miss Raquel wrote: And actually, I think you're contradicting yourself...

First, you're saying that if you like someone and want to start a relationship with them, how else do they know that you're interested in them if you don't flirt?

But then you're saying that you and your husband both flirt?

Mary did not contradict herself. Raquel might not believe her but that doesn't mean that Mary contradicted herself.

As a Southerner, I find her calling herself Miss Raquel a little irritating. Miss First name is often used to respectfully address woman who are older than you. So, I am Miss Deb to my neighbor's kids but I wouldn't call their daughter Miss Her First Name.

[debrand]

Here is how one of my grandmother's told me to flirt. As your walking toward the man, make eye contact and look away. Do it again. WHen you come up even with the man, smile and look away. She swore that it never failed to work. Damn my grandmother, married for many years. What a harlot. :lol:

[loveandwar]

I don't understand the lip gloss/chapstick thing. It's not a "known fact" that applying a little chapstick or lip gloss causes guys to "stumble". I applied chapstick to my lips (which dry out very easily) in front of a good guy friend the other day, and did he say anything? No, because he was talking to his WIFE. I doubt he even noticed.

*shakes head* Wow, just wow.

[formergothardite]

I flirted shamelessly with my husband and that is how I snagged him. It was also the winter and I had chapped lips, so I put on chapstick a lot. I don't think he noticed that, though. I'll have to ask.

I bet that in 10 years she will look back and be humiliated by what she wrote.

[acheronbeach]

I like God's Daughter a lot. She's got tons of weird ideas, but doesn't seem too offended by other opinions. If you look at her articles about Christian boys' opinions, she has guys on there who love to flirt, who reject courtship, who like trendy clothes, and vice versa.

She also seems pretty normal - she obviously likes boys, clothes, makeup, and hanging out with friends. She's got a sense of humour. So I guess I can tolerate some of her weirder ideas, because I feel like she'll mellow out as she gets older.

[formergothardite]

I just now noticed her "About Me":

You have stumbled across the blog of a young woman who is on fire for her LORD and Savior.

Here, stands a young woman who is not afraid to speak about her God...the One true and living Maker of the universe.

Here stands a young woman who only cares about where she stands in His eyes.

Here stands a young woman who hopes to make a difference in this world that will last.

Here stands a young woman who wants YOU to know how much she loves her LORD...and she hopes that you enjoy her blog and are blessed and encouraged by it. Join with her in her posts about what the LORD has been teaching her...photography...every day life...fashion...move reviews...favorite quotes...and much more!

This is the blog of God's Daughter...

Yet all the pictures are about her, not God. And I didn't know the Lord taught about movie reviews. And she should work on humility a tad bit. Could this be any more "look at me! I am an awesome Christian!".

Who knew that chapstick was at the root of so much immorality? :shock:

[fundiefan]

I am addicted to chapstick and also have extremely dry skin - like, not normal dry skin but my entire body is dry from my hair to my fingernails and I drink water 24/7 and use chapstick and hand lotion countless times in a given day. If I spend any length of time in the presence of another human, man or woman, adult or child, they will see me put it on. If any of them has impure thoughts when I wax my lips so they don't itch or crack, how the hell is that my problem or issue? And what on earth would make me take what a teenager says seriously?

If I'm gonna' flirt, you can be guaranteed that it will not include waxing my lips. That is as normal to life for me as going to the bathroom and has nothing to do with anyone else on the planet.

Wait wait wait. She's a member of the club that says women should be doormats for anyone with a penis, but she says it annoys men when women do things for them?

Haha what? Oh dear. My dad and guy friends must be really annoyed at me to the point of no return then. Tsk.

Another thing that is a known fact that cause guys to stumble, is when a girl puts lipstick/lip gloss, and even chapstick, on in front of them. It draws attention to the girl’s lips, and…that can lead to impure thoughts. I see girls do this a lot, and no, it might not seem like a big deal to us girls, but let’s try to help our brothers out, okay?

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

As mostly everyone said in this post, I also get very dry skin and lips in the winter. I've put on chapstick in front of so many guys in my life. Not one of them ever expressed any desire to jump my bones because I've done so.

[Jessica]

Uh oh.... I guess they need to ban toothpaste commercials now since that draws attention to peoples' mouths and is defrauding! What a lunatic!

[xDreamerx]

Apparently, I've done the equivalent of putting a red light in my window because I apply chapstick and even lipstick when it wears off, in public.

[kpmom]

Who knew that chapstick was at the root of so much immorality? :shock:

Oh sure. Don't you remember that famous porn movie, Debbie Does Chapstick?

[Terrie]

If my putting on chapstick causes a guy to "stumble" then he should look away. I'm not going to have cracked lips because someone has no self-control.

[Hane]

She is the twittiest twit who ever twitted.

[GolightlyGrrl]

Who knew that chapstick was at the root of so much immorality? :shock:

But it is Burt's Bees what the true whores wear. And don't even get me started on those sluts who wear Bonne Bell Lipsmackers.

[liltwinstar]

Let's take this a step further - why are unmarried women even wearing lipstick/chapstick? After all, any of those products make your lips shiny which brings attention to them. Further, virgin lips don't need to be soft, since no one should be kissing on them anyway. So they should just crack and bleed until you're engaged, and then you can start using chapstick discreetly to prepare for marriage.

Until then, it's dry lips and skin - unless you're like the woman in Handmaid's Tale who rubbed her skin with butter she hid in her shoe when she was denied lotion. But, you know, that's fiction. Or so they say. But maybe not for long.

[SinInTheCamp]

Men see our mouths. We talk. Or should we shut up so our mouths stay still?

I think the patriarchal assholes would prefer that, actually.

[clarinetpower]

Oh, come on you guys! She knows a LOT about flirting. After all, she does it all the time--with the camera.

[Olivia]

She's cute. Honestly, she's so young, and the whole thing is so silly... I can't take this as anything other but cute in its misguided, know-it-all, but well meaning nature.

This is going to embarrass her when she's a real grown up with a little life experience. My teen blog embarasses me, and I was much more circcumspect in sharing my opinion on the world -- but I was just so naive and sweet then, it hurts to read.
