"Have you read most women's magazines geared towards pre-teens and young women (i.e Cosmo, etc.) They are full of articles that teach girls about romance from a calculated and manipulative rules-based standpoint. Judge not...."And, as I like to tell my kids. I judge. And harshly. As slimy and smarmy I think the Neil Strauss PUA POS book is, I believe Cosmo and the other girl rags are even worse. I believe those magazines create the kind of women that are happy being one of Tiger Wood's 14 mistresses, or a "look the other way" wife like many of us are expected to be.
I think the same rule applies. If you start a relationship, either as a man or woman, from a manipulative, rules-based standpoint, it's going to fail.
So whether you are a guy and aspire to this:
Or a girl that needs this type of advice I judge you harshly. Stop taking advice from these types of publications or people. The world is full of shit-heads like Tiger, we don't need any more. Relax, be yourself, and just say "Hi." Works every time.
