She's never been anti-male.

Its easy to misread.... I admit I did at first glance (I bolded the parts that are easy to miss). Note the "?" at the first sentence.... its not a statement of belief but questioning the implied message of the video.




No... I find the movie clip exaggerates the male drive and generalizes men to the point of being useless. Even if there is an underlying truth, its too shallow to even discuss.

For the third time, that's what the video said, not me. I thought it was a terrible thing to say and indicative of someone who doesn't think very highly of men.

I don't think some of you guys even watched it. The other tips, if I recall correctly, were "pretend the guy is hilarious," "show us your ****," and one other ... "shut up about your problems"? Something like that. The fourth one, which said that all men wants is anal sex and the rest is just pretend, stuck out the most and I commented on it.

Unfortunately, you're right. The shallow jerk just needed the love of a good woman to unlock his tender feelings, right? I haven't seen the movie but know the formula very well.

Yep, typical Hollywood garbage that's put out on a regular basis, nothing surprising here. They have a formula, and the masses flock to it. That's why I watch indie and foreign films.

I understood what you meant from your first post. I think some people are just trying to stir things up. What else is new?

Yeah, and sadly some you women in real life who thinks it works that way. Where they can "change" a man. Savior complexes. The guy isn't going to change unless he wants to, and it will be for him, not a woman most of the time. If a guy is a player, likes to dump and dump, ok. But he may get done with the oats and wanna settle down.

Now, he's actually paying attention and trying to find a nice woman he goes well with and would like to settle down. If you see a former player with a woman, seriously, her timing was just better. She didn't change him, she just met him when he was already changed and ready for commitment, compared to the women who got involved with him when he wasn't looking for love, or to love them.

Not to say guys can't change for women. But best not to place money on, and try for, that lol Usually when I hear of girls who did, it didn't work out, and they ended up annoyed, angry or miserable because they got caught up with him, and he doesn't treat them well, or gets them in trouble.

okay, you got me, my bad. that "quote" was buried fairly deep into the segment and i think at that point i had just lost interest in the dialogue. on second passing i do recall none of the advice given had any value, in fact now seems like they were in the script as buzz worthy rules for pop culture (popular consumption). almost like you could use it to make clips for movie trailer.

but i did another pass and figured out the gems those rules originated from, which are fairly descent rules for women to attract (and keep) men but common sense too; no woman could be this clueless really. i'd re-order them though. anyways, thanks for the correction, and i also don't always read every posts, just those of interest, which is why i read yours. have a good day.

Rule#1: don't try to change a man

Rule#2: find him interesting even if you have to fake it aka fake it till you make it

Rule#3: men are very visual.... show some skin, get his attention in you physically; always present an allure of sexual availability

Rule#4: don't b*tch, nag, or complain, it's a very unattractive quality for men

Rule#5: men do prefer long hair
