What Not to Say to a Woman

Share

(Newser) – Lovelife dragging a bit? AskMen plays virtual wingman, listing 10 things a guy should never say to a woman:

  1. Can I kiss you? This yells that you’re a boy, not a man.
  2. Can I take you on a date somewhere? Act confident and in control. Say something like, “Want to hang out?”

  1. Anything about your big bad car, house, or job. Try to impress by flaunting your material possessions and she'll think you have nothing else to offer.
  2. What do you want to do tonight? Putting the burden on her indicates that you can’t show her a good time.
  3. Do you like me? This is the opposite of being confident. Assume she does, and move on from there.

The article *is* lame. It has a few interesting suggestions. The idea, not very well expressed, of entering into a relationship treating the other person (man or woman) as a prince or princess ensures you'll have to treat them that way *forever* should be understood by all of us. However, their cookie-cutter list is way overly-specific and falls far short in the general. It looks like a geek read "How To Love a Woman -- for Dummies" and then wrote an article about it.

A fag must have written this. Or it came from an Ozzie and Harriet episode in 1953. Reply

(Newser) - Relationships fail seven times more often when illness strikes the female partner than when it strikes the man. Researchers don't know why, but theories abound: “There is an immediate shift in a relationship when an illness is diagnosed,” a counselor tells the Times of London. Gender roles... More »

(Newser) - Women may be more “selective” daters, but that distinction could well be based not on innate personality but on social norms and the simple prospect of which gender is doing the pursuing.
