As the name suggests, a clutch is a strapless bag designed in a way to be carried by hand. While going out for parties, women generally carry these beautiful clutches as accessories.

Say you are a man on a date with a woman, and in the course of your conversation she reveals to you that she is a writer by profession or perhaps the published author of a particular work, comments such as, 'Really? That is fantastic.' or 'That's quite remarkable'- without, of course, being over the top - would no doubt be well received. However, let's rewind the conversation a little bit. In this scenario, you happen to be one step ahead, having actually read some of her works, so you cite the areas that most interested you. The result: the compliment would then take on a whole new meaning, having a much more genuine feel.
