I ended up choosing an Ibanez package (with amp). The kid's only 12 .. it's a starter kit. Not bad action though, I was surprised. I told him if the boy exhibits talent and is wanting to do the band thing, he'll need to get a bigger amp and may want a better guitar.
As for the women, I did pretty well today. I think the trick is to not look them directly in the eyes when responding, then they think you're crazy and give up.
Best just to look down at the floor, works every time.
