Ditto. Some I can agree with, but the bulk of it, and his tone, makes him come off like a wanna-be Dom, alpha male, a$$hat. He wants an intelligent woman, but she also must be submissive? I know intelligent and educated women who are submissive, but not in the way he is referring. He wants her to be feminine, but not too dolled up, which I get. But some associate femininity with getting all dolled up, so it's rather subjective, and so is "intelligence." What he deems intelligent, another may not. His version of submission is a doormat to another man. I've never dated a man who admonished or disliked colorful language. I like and use colorful language in the appropriate context and situation. There's nothing like a well-placed expletive at the right moment.

My tattoos never negatively affected my dating success. The majority of men I have met or dated sport few or no tattoos at all.

I just do what I want and I've never had problems dating or getting married.

Even as a single mother.

I dunno what mean are actually expecting, but I know they (like women) have wishlists and reality lists.

Some guys talk all this crap, but then we (women) shoot them with our cupid arrow and then it's a different story.

The new form of mass media. And, people actually take these types of advice because the Internet is the new "school" of facts and hard knocks of life. Cyber reality at its best. lmao
actually kat, most of that stuff is recycled from 50 years ago. ever since i was old enough to read, i would look at the covers of womens magazines at the supermarkets(i would read anything because my interest was so great) and invariably every month there were articles on how to make yourself more attractive to men, or how to marry the right man, or other such article. and interspersed with those articles are ones on cooking and make up, and housekeeping. and remember these magazines were all around since before i was born.

Yeah... he sounds like a real prize.

And, I have tattoos, but my husband doesn't. Eh. Dude doesn't speak for all dudes. That "submissive" one is fairly ridiculous.

Do I let my husband take the lead most of the time? Sure thing, but he values my opinion (and listens to it and acts on it), so he's earned it.

There's no "submission" component involved - it's called being in a relationship, ferchrissakes. And "Watch what he wants to watch"? WTF? Yeah, I'll watch what he wants to watch and sometimes he'll watch what I want to watch.

Jesus. H. Christ. The "advice" ranges from no brainers to archaic idiocy to vague suggestions of infanticide.
Seriously..

What year is it, again?

Yep.

Different men like different things. Some might like a woman just like this list and others might want to opposite. You never know. Just be yourself, forgo the any "act," and attract the man who likes you for who you are

I'd read the list but I'm too busy rubbing my husband's feet while sucking him off.
