… when giving advice.
Seven Additional Thoughts:
– I’m not a hundred percent serious about this. Maybe 75 percent?
– Any grid which generalizes everything down to four situation is going to have counter-exceptions. In this case, so many counter-exceptions.
– Anyone giving advice will have more success if the advice has been asked for. This is certainly the case here.
– Certainly the advice given doesn’t apply to all men or all women.
– Other words considered (in place of avert): discourage, prevent, deter, avoid. None are perfect.
– I am aware that some people don’t feel there is a need to avert lust. This grid would still be true.
– I am aware the some people don’t feel it’s a woman’s responsibility to avert lust. This grid would still be generally true.
– Obviously, giving advice is only one step.

It’s hard if the neighbour is a hottie, she’s in her early forties and beautiful, often very friendly and charming. But you’re correct: don’t look too closely, it is worse than porn: for porn you can avoid, but women outside are so many, and during the summer it’s literally hell for me.
However, I would never be able to win such a woman for me, waaay out of “my league”, being the ugly hunchback I am. And she has a child, so that’s another reason to restrain myself. And I don’t want ugly or dumb children, so I have to force myself through this life to live and die alone.
Some additional advice:
