If you are a man, discourage every woman from consulting you with her problems or requesting you to be her mentor. Direct her to an elderly psychologist of her own gender. This prevents both of you from having to deal with transference, that annoying phenomenon in which a female counselee projects her feelings toward a male counselor and begins to perceive him as her father, grandfather, uncle, brother, husband, and eventually her secret lover.

While transference does occur between men, it is rare and is easier for them to recognize and resolve between themselves.

Unless, of course, YOU are the flirt.
