One of the most pertinent questions a man can ask himself is, What exactly do I want from women? Once that has been answered, and it should not take long, the next question becomes: What do women want from me? That, alas, is far more complicated to discern.
The unfortunate reality is that while most men are clueless about what women want, many women also are confused concerning their desires. Its commonly assumed that women, as a group, desire children and marriage but that simply is not the case anymore. In the last few years attention has been given to the female player and absurdities like men who get used for sex, which is as paradoxical as the phrase the fork was exploited as a eating utensil. Yet, silly as this mumbo jumbo is, it doesnt stop the media from sensationalizing the topic, nor does it prevent many young women from following the lead of the press. The New York Timesrecently covered, in a celebratory tone, the phenomenon of girls eschewing commitment in exchange for short-term pleasures:
Yes, they take pride in having thrown off the shackles of earlier generations of single women. They are not waiting on Friday night hoping he will call. They make the first move. They happily see two or three guys simultaneously. Spontaneity is crucial, but even more is a good clean exit strategy from any guy who turns out to be Mr. Not Exactly
While men are obviously central to the The Hookup Handbook ethos (do you want to hook up with a Metroman or a Himbo tonight?), boyfriends are most definitely not. A relationship isn't the easiest thing to maintain, but swearing off boys isn't a viable option either, the chapter on Defensive Non-Dating states...

That's not true...at all. I dated a lot of women that I could run all over. I married the first one that put up a fight
See my post #55, please.
You found my sister!
Me too!!
LOL. Sorry, I picture John Goodmans character in The Big Lebowski.
I dont know, maybe women dig these types. Being a guy, I dont really know what women want. :P
I go to a community college, no husband material there. But there are a good many colleges in my area, one being decent. So college bars I suppose.
LMAO, you nailed it! Can't wait for the feminazis to attack!
So...what the hell are you implying about the nature of men? That we don't want doormats, but we want a woman who isn't too independent or self sufficient?
I wish you fellows well, but I think you are so hoodwinked. I have observed harridan, overweight, and "what have you done for me lately?" women of many, many nationalities, including Russians and Asians. Those gals have plenty of gumption too!
I for one will stick up for American men. They are the best!
Oh boy.
You are going to be in for some serious problems.
Better start learning how to show those non-verbal, not interested signals right away.
If not, you may find yourself saying, "Get off me, pig" just to get them away from you.
I'm going to college to get my BA, but I certainly won't complain if I get my MRS degree as well ;)
LOL.....she kept mumblin."hank", but she wouldn't tell us her name
Ya know, ya can't tell which way the train went just by looking at the tracks.
Not only is the divorce court unfriendly look at some of the commercials on tv, they make men look like idiots, the latest one "over the moon" milk, check it out.
As a joke, it's funny. As an attitude, it'll not get you far. :~D
