Comments on: HOW TO MAKE MEN LIKE YOU (Oct, 1965) http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2009/08/31/how-to-make-men-like-you/ Yesterday's tomorrow, today.

The writer is being gender-specific, but it applies to EVERYONE, male or female. People like it when they're complimented and paid attention to. Really, who doesnt? If you look at the article from a neutral and ungendered perspective, you'll find that it's pretty damned accurate! This is a pretty good article, in my humblest!

That's because we are. :) Still - I have known women like this, and even had a few that showed romantic interest in me. And as both commenters above noted, it's not actually appealing. Much more interesting to be with someone who is confident and able to think for themselves. “It makes men out to be stupid, insecure egomaniacs.”

Whoever wrote this ridiculous drivel didn't want anyone else to know. My advice to women who want to meet men -- ride a mountain bike. No byline.

My advice to women who want to meet men — ride a mountain bike.

It makes men out to be stupid, insecure egomaniacs. Distilled down: men want slavish doormats. Never show that you have a mind of your own, agree with him at all times no matter what, and give him exactly what he wants when he wants it but *only* when he wants it. It has to be all about him in every way, shape, or form 100% of the time or you'll be a lonely old lady living with your cats and totally worthless as a human being in every way. Most of the guys I know would flee from a woman like this. This is a wildly sexist article – against men. It makes men out to be stupid, insecure egomaniacs.
