I think one of the sad things is that the underlying message seems to be that a man looking for this advice is fundamentally lacking - they mustn’t show their real character, because it’s defective and no woman would accept them if they knew who they really are. You have to put up a mask, adopt a role and follow a routine, and then you will have hundreds of women to choose from. Instant results too, as you can see from his profile photos of him with women who apparently fell for him briefly before quickly realising how good and honest he actually was:
If you could that would be really cool, although the downside is some might take it as an invitation to conversation. Once I was sitting next to a person who I didn’t realize had a glass eye and we got to talking when he popped it out.
Admittedly he started the conversation by saying, “Hey, check this out!”
Yeah, but that just shows you don’t hate women and only want to be in a “relationship” for the sex and housework she provides…
Christ, it doesn’t need any work besides the label, either - the cartoon was a narrative about a male forcing his attentions on a female who was horrified by his existence and wished for nothing more than to be far, far away.
As an experienced man of a certain boomer age, I think this is a horrible double standard. Screw the headphones. If a lovely young woman wants MY attention, I give it…without reservation. Actually, it’s with enthusiasm. I can’t remember when it’s happened.though…
