    Yep, thought so; Seychelles is relatively rich and developed.

    * If this guy is used to 5-star living and his creature comforts, perhaps he sees a couple of weeks in a tin shack as a welcome "back to nature" type of break, sort of like a camping holiday. It may also be reminiscent of roughing it as a student, reliving his young days, which he might also find appealing.
    If he thinks it's so appealing he would have discussed it with her, not leave it as a 'suprise' for when she gets there.

    Simples - warn her that he may be after her just for her cute firm body. To test this, she should not put out on the holiday, or indeed allow any sexual contact. If he loves her, he won't mind.

    LOL - see how he likes a dose of his own medicine.

    Ah, and why not tell your male friend that you've provided her with this advice. Perhaps that will help him see what a total dick-head he is. Although I doubt it.

    I think most chaps prefer a girl who can do 'heels over head'.

    I thought Prince Andrew was already married.
