It would seem that way if I were a female. But if you look past the feeling that he is attacking all females and look more at his mission/content, I think it may make sense. I am going through almost 100% what he said with my wife. I am 45, she is 40, we have been married for 4 years, together for 5. I feel that due to her insecurities (from a bad past marriage and baggage) I found myself trying to prove to her that I am here for the long haul. Due to my consistent reminding and demonstrating my affection, she has gotten burned out by it. What the host is basically saying is to stop being so "there" for her and showing too much emotion. She will think I am smothering her and look like a wimp instead of someone that will be strong for her only when needed. I think he has hit many valid points even though it's spoken in "guy" language. If I thought he was being insulting to my wife, words would be spoken here differently. I can assure you, he does make sense and in a way that hits home to me. To: “randompassingfemale” (and respectfully to host), I understand you feel that a lot of what was said is crap.

"You need to treat girls as you would treat your cat..." Are you serious? How about treating them like a human? Trust me, it'll get you a lot further than going on about our "fickle natures" and how "fucked up" we are. (As an aside, if the only women you have any experience with are ones who are fucked up, you need to take a look at the way you pick your girlfriends.) Keeping things fresh; you got something right at least. Both men AND women crave variety and novelty, it's part of human nature. "Girls don’t believe in reason and logic so you shouldn’t try to force feed your perspective to her as it will only make her do and say crazy shit." You know, I do have to admit that whenever people try to force feed me that bullshit about women being incapable of logic and reason I really do get the urge to do some crazy shit. Seriously, who actually believes that these days? "Breaking up shows girls that you aren’t gonna take their shit, and a lot of times puts them to check." Because men never do anything wrong in a relationship, it's only ever the girl and her shit that leads to breaking up. (Hang on, isn't that what this whole fucking article is about; relationship mistakes that men make?) "You must remember that whatever you feel and whatever is going on, she should not see any of it. If you have problems, go hang out with your friends. But in the eyes and ears of your girl, you gotta be as firm as a rock." Because emotional honesty is WRONG. You must never admit to being anything but a big strong manly man who never lets his emotions show in front of his partner. Never let the person you want to share your life with see what's actually going on behind your stoic facade. After all you wouldn't want her to think you're "weak" and "a little bitch" like her, right? This article is full of misogynistic bullshit that will destroy more relationships than it will ever help. Biggest relationship pitfall? Believing this bullshit. Holy crap that’s a lot of stereotypes and generalisations you’re packing into that article.
