Well put. Our flaws are often a critical part of who we are, both good and bad.

If you take your flaws into consideration, attempt to mitigate them and work with/around them, you get positive results.

If you ignore your faults and wear them on your back, you get negative results.

The premise is all wrong here, for men trying to dissect this. I came from a position of scarcity. That I was lucky to have a women in my life, that they were the prize. Read the book "No More Mr Nice Guy"..by Robert Glover. Life changing read. Until as a man you are willing to meet a woman as an equal, you are doomed to power struggles and you will attract women that are unhealthy. When I stopped having attachments to outcomes and I was comfortable with myself a good woman came in my life. For guys...

• Date multiple women and don't get one-itits
• Ask for what you want, sexually, emotionally and intellectually
• Be playful and spontaneous
• Dress and groom well
• Have a robust, interesting life outside of her
• Don't be afraid to push back at her. Women want a strong man, not a wet noodle
• Make her earn your affections and let her know subtlety she can be replaced if she ignores you, plays games or abuses you. I did this and it worked, I was chased, not the other way around.
• Be understanding, flexible, caring, kind and authentic, but NEVER at your expense, EVER.

I did not find the article all that repulsive or find the author all that bad.

When I started college, the nurses I worked with would ask me if I was married. And all said good thing I wasn’t married.
Because they usually divorce after the woman starts college.
