I've seen some otherwise savvy buddies make complete idiots out of themselves. They finally had to listen to Pissant's advice after being slapped down too many times.
I assume you hid your cross-dressing and flower arranging hobbies prior to the wedding...;^/
So what's a nice guy supposed to do, act like a jerk? Sorry not willing to give up who I am just because it will help get me a girl. I'm a nice guy and if a woman can't appreciate that she can date all the jerks she wants I'm not interested
Disgusting advice, especially if a man doesn't know a woman. I am a lady and expect to be treated as such.
You don't have to be a jerk, you just have to show independence, be a bit cavalier, and not cling to her like poop on a shoe. Women hate clingy dudes & mama's boys.
I don't know if I agree with all this advice. If a guy came off like an jerk to me, I'd be really offended.
Very funny. I just happen to like food...
Closest I've ever been to cross dressing was when I learned how to roll a kilt (a real kilt is nothing but yards and yards of material properly folded, belted, and pinned).
Flower arranging I will do. for her, and for my mom. Usually with a shovel... (And we'll plant the hasta here, and the lillies there and...).
It was never meant to be understood by a woman.
LOL, It is passed down through the ages since the beginning of time. It is not as simple as it reads and is not to be taken literally. It is a concept that often explains female behavior during the rut.:-)

Then, like most chicks, you'd go home and wait by the phone, fantasizing about the jerk calling you....all in vain of course.....so you call him instead.
Just the way it usually worked back in my yoot.
No I wasn't raised to a jerk's doormat.
Had you nervous there for a minute huh. LOL
Yep I'm a chick and I agree with all you posted. Never could stand a wimpy man that let a woman walk all over them. I'd put up with some bad behavior that comes with the testosterone of a real man.

My husband is the nicest person I've ever known. He's also an excellent cook, does all his own ironing and sews well enough to do minor repairs on his clothing.
And he's adorably cute. So much for the author's advice.
These ideas come across in Feynmans autobiographys as well.
And men don't want a wussy woman either.
Well, you are the exception to the rule. Congrats.
And go easy on the cologne. In fact, just go with after shave, or nothing at all.
Sounds like this guy is an obsessed idiot.

Some of us guys avoid that entirely by not really feeling much of anything. :-)
I wonder if he's married or is he 'dating' and enjoying the benefits of marriage without actually having to committ.
No, you don't have to give up being a nice guy and you don't have to pretend to be a jerk. My husband is a very nice guy. Part of what attracted me to him was that he teased me. It was a more sophisticated version of pulling a girl's ponytail and running away. And it worked wonders. I can be very intense and serious and he was the first man that had the ability to make me laugh at myself.
