Sir, for the lady above. If she contacts you and complains of men ghosting on her and shows you that chat as an example, how would you counsel her? Carrots or sticks?

Both. What I usually do is describe her to herself—without saying it’s her—and then ask her to judge the person I’ve just painted in words.

She’ll respond by saying things like, “That person is this or that…”

Then I’ll say, “You’ve just described yourself.”

She’ll laugh, and that opens the door. From there, I guide her on how to conduct herself moving forward.
