Men:

List your key insights and advice that you believe women MUST understand in order to effortlessly relate to us.

I'll start:

1.) Ignite his protective, nurturing instinct.
2.) Never use sex as currency or to reward/punish him.
3.) Respect his need for personal time for hobbies and other creative endeavors.

A man will tolerate nearly anything a woman does if she obeys rules 1 and 2. He will give her a blank check if she additionally obeys rule 3.

I relate to guys just fine, in fact most of my friends are males and they seem to like me

Unfortunately, I'm just not attractive enough, or good enough romantically for most guys so I'm single.

Yeah, that's actually about right. And if she's dumb or at least manages to look dumb and like a damsel in distress (#1 perfected), it becomes superb!

Everyone is "Attractive" in some capacity to some people. Not sure what "good enough romantically" means.

Been there, done that. Spent money on hair color/haircut, bought new clothes (actually had a stylist friend of mine help me out) wore makeup (professionally done by the same stylist) and it didn't help me at all. In fact, my friends said I looked weird because they weren't used to it Waste of money, really. I could have bought a new multimeter and torque wrench, but instead wasted money (and time!) on silly stuff.

Besides, what would the guy I attracted say when he realizes I'm a mechanic who usually just wears jeans and a tshirt with no makeup on a regular basis? I'm sure he'd be pretty disappointed that I drew him in on a lie.

I'll go ahead and be myself and hopefully some guy will recognize my awesomeness for what it is some day

I'm 'friendzoned' a lot. If I had a dollar for every time a guy told me 'you're really great, but I'm just not into you like that...wanna get drunk and play Zelda?' I'd have...well, I'd have at least $20

#1 is kinda vague, how exactly does a girl do that? Like stub her toe & cry about it so the guy will come to the rescue & kiss her toes?
