Yeah, I saw this article too and it equally irritates me because it is exactly what my friend are telling me, that you have to play games. I never advocate doing any kind of manipulation to get a guy and if so then I don't want to be bothered.

How sucky is it that this is what the media is preaching to people?

And you know what else? The peole tha tI know who have gotten into serious relationships did not have to do this. They were themselves and things naturally fell into place.

This makes me angry.

I agree. This article was completely off. The "compliments" they suggested on giving would make me feel insulted! "Nice nails, are they real?" wtf? And "don't be yourself"?? Yeah, way to make someone think you're something you're not. You'll end up always having to put on that act.

I read the article and I agree with eveyone else. Actaully most of these articles I don't agree with, all they seem to do is condition people. Plus if a guy likes a lady and wants her phone number, what's wrong with giving it out, I thought woman liked the guy to call. I mean if a lady doesn't want to give it out to guy she's not interested in, then just don't give it out. I think we are all better off if we just follow our hearts and search for what we seek.
