But people should not have to change who they are to attract the opposite sex.
If I would have to do some of those things on the list for a man to have any interest in me, he is not a man I would care to be with.
Apparently I'm not alone in this.
Im not sure I agree, but it all depends on one's priorities. If you're not getting any attention, your options are basically:
1) continue waiting
2) do something to change it
There's nothing wrong with 1), as long as they understand what the potential effect is...that they may end up waiting forever. If they're ok with that, then no problem.
However, if finding someone is a stronger priority, then the reality is that people will have to bend a bit. In my personal experience, this applies more to men than women because of a whole other argument/can of worms, but it stands to benefit both genders.
So no, nobody HAS to change anything. If you're happy with the way life is, then by all means, continue. If you're not, you can wait, or change.
I'm going to suspect that most of the people with responses similar to yours are getting enough attention that they don't need to change anything. In which case, no, of course you shouldn't. But not everybody is in that boat.

This list in particular seems to appeal to the particular kind of 20-something dude who expects a relationship to be all about what he wants and what works for him, and not about sharing and compromise with another autonomous human being.
The last line is "You can’t argue someone into finding you attractive." that list? Not attractive.
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.
Agree! My mother in law was a young widow with three small children, she had no problem finding a man (my father in law) who wanted to step up and be a husband and father to three non biological children!
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 love pierogis! Although I confess, I buy the pre-made ones--I don't make my own pasta or pasta-like products (I tried once... never again! lol). But I can make them into a nice recipe called Polish stew (it has chicken, root veggies, and pierogis all in a kind of chicken gravy) it's my mother's recipe.
Is your maiden name Tybroski?....
My granma & my mom made some delicious chicken & dumplings, or pork chops & dumplings.....yum....
Strange. My wife easily matched nearly all of the items on that list when I met her and here we are, eighteen years later. And I firmly believe she is still the perfect woman.
