Scott Galloway needs to move on (Interview, 3 December). He’s a dinosaur if he really thinks that “a woman is not going to have sex with a man who splits the bill with her”. Some of us wouldn’t want to have sex with a man who doesn’t want to recognise a woman’s independence – personal and financial – but wants to pay for them. Catch up, Scott! Plutocrats are a real turn-off. Young men need to know this. The more money a man has, the less attractive he often becomes.

• Robin Craig’s story spoke to me (A moment that changed me: My unbearable grief kept growing – until I found solace in a silent community, 3 December). It was very poignant and moving. I have been a Quaker all my life, and I’m glad that Robin has discovered them and found the deep peace helpful in his bereavement process. He refers to “Advices and Queries … a kind of mini‑guide for practising Quakers”. My favourite advice in it is “Live adventurously”. Being a Guardian reader certainly helps me to do this.
