You say no gender bashing but that's just inviting gender bashing lol.
No since it's about men, it's considered "good advice" -now if someone made a thread 7 things about women that turn men off, well now THAT would be gender-bashing
I'd say it's pretty useless. Anybody with half a brain knows everything on it already, and (more importantly) anybody who doesn't isn't going to follow it or learn anything by reading it anyway. I could follow it up with a list like:
7 things women do that turn men off:
1) You have unrealistic expectations
2) You let romance novels warp your thinking
3) You don't quit
4) You put off sex for too long
5) You view sex as a prize to be given as a reward
6) You don't work to improve yourself
7) You've never accomplished anything
Boom. Hire me, "Good Men Project"! It's simple, mindless advice. They might as well have just said "don't be an ass". If I'm an ass, I'm not going to look at this list and think "wow, I shouldn't be an ass!". I'd just go on being an ass because, wait for it....that's one of the qualities of being an ass.
Cut and past the first line item 7 times and you've got a pretty good version of the female list.
I guess we see a lot of posters here who lack more than 1/2 a brain.
If it were useless, the guy wouldn't have written a blog and a book on the subject. Clearly, there's a need for basic info like that. Regular participation in forums such as this one confirm that.
The guy who wrote the article sounds like he's not only older, but also quite a bit more accomplished and intelligent than an average guy...Mr. "I don't get on national TV that often..." (Oh, sorry to hear that my good sir)
My point there is that basic "don't be dick/play it straight" type advice will probably work fine for any guy who lands in the top 10-20% of male attractiveness, and also much more effective on older women who tend to settle down and lose their neurotic ways at some point, and just want a guy to be good to them.
There is no one size fits all advice when it comes to this type of stuff.

No. Not if it was a legitimately good article. The reality is that women do plenty of things that might turn men off. And, no...not putting out fast enough would not rank on any legitimate list. Using sex to control men would. There IS a subtle difference.

The bolded is a very interesting comment. So many men here in the past have insisted that categorically it's the young women who are baggage-free, but that's often not the case. It's good to see there are other men who understand that. Though I've also seen plenty of women who even in college just want to find a good guy for a stable, loving relationship. Like anything, it's a mixed bag.

It works for all men. It just works faster for some than others.
