I think the women ITT are more aggravated with the crass way it is written than the actual bullet points. The guy does come across as pig in his writing.

For example,

Cook a few times a week could be meant as share the responsibilities, they assume it's do every chore and be a barefoot housewife.

I think most women would benefit doing these 13 things.
Dead on accurate for you and men of your ilk.

Er, not quite. Since I never interacted with or dated the type of men to which he is referring, these points mean very little. It's his assertions that are fallacious. Now, if he qualified his statements then the context would be more clear. If he stated a specific type of man likes X, Y and Z then it makes it less a generalization, and thus he's not speaking for all men or even the majority of men. But again, some of his suggestions are ambiguous and rely on subjective opinion. "Be intelligent" can mean something different to different people. A conservative man's "intelligent" may be Sarah Palin. Is that what people think of when "intelligent" comes to mind? One man's submissive is not another man's submissive. Without context the advice is more shallow than a kiddie pool.

A good chunk of it is antiquated nonsense, and the rest is hardly original advice.

Haha.
You read into it a lot more than me!

The children thing is dumb, it's not like you can sell them.
Intelligent to the man, whatever he may like. I like the artsy, casual liberal type myself.

I'm just saying, 4 or 5 of the bolded parts alone are slightly relevant for women who are struggling in the dating world. I mean, it should be painfully obvious enough for the list not to exist anyway.

Several items on the list made a lot of sense, a few are a applicable to both sexes, a couple three things I had some flexibility on such as the cooking 3 times a weeks thing.

I haven't read through this entire thread yet, but I work with a bunch of dudes and if I printed that list out and started to poll men I'd say that a lot of those things are spot on, if they were being completely honest and no women were listening to them LOL...... not all of course, but just skimming through it.

The problem is is that people have a tendency to say what others want to hear, and often soften their edges to appease others.

Ha. So you are saying you disagree with the things on this list? Hmmmm.....if you are so against everything on this list, lets do this, imagine a woman who is the exact opposite of everything on this list. She does exactly the opposite of what the author/writer says, do you think guys would want her? She'd be:

#1 - Fat
#2 - Heavily tatted up and lots of piercings everywhere.
#3 - Needs you to support her and/or give her money
#4 - Be all manly shotgunning beers and unshaved
#5 - Demanding. Bossy.
#6 - Horrible sex life. Doesn't want it. Doesn't do it. Does not try to please her man. LOTS of other men.
#7 - Dumb
#8 - Has lots of kids. Different daddies.
#9 - Hates to cook.
#10 - Constantly has her face in her phone
#11 - Wears a ton of makeup
#12 - Cussing all the time. "C" word this, "F" word that.
#13 - Unable to make friends with women.

Do you agree with this? Do you think doing these things will help a woman be more attractive to a man?

They really needed to add #14 - Don't be a smoker.

Again, I don't care for #9 and I don't like submissive women #5, but everything else is good for women to know.

Really, women can just not be fat and they would be good.

^^^ That's some stunningly bad logic right there. Do colleges not require a course in rhetoric anymore?

I seriously hope you don't think those are truly the opposites of that list. If so, wow, just wow.

Also, I don't smoke, but there's enough smoker porn out there (not to mention male smokers) to indicate it's not a problem for many.
