What's so great about Jessica Alba????

Never understood the hype about her. Sure, she's cute, but not super hot.

The misleading premise though is that "good intentions" actually matter a jot to a womans subconscious emotional deliberations.

This is making me wonder, are there guys out there who's read "The Game"? Because that book basically tells guys to be d-bags. I hate d-bags.

I was interested to read The Game, from a woman's point of view. The differences between men and women are always intriguing.

I found it fascinating. There are some very accurate insights about both men and women, and what both sexes seek in sexual interchange. I would also advocate it for men. The "be a d-bag" premise is just the tip of the iceberg. ...but it certainly makes me melt. I always fall for the d-bags. Even if I know exactly what's going on, I can't help myself.

As for the Rules, I think there are some valid points: specifically, don't chase men. I didn't actually read the book, but the gist is easy enough. Going into detail though...like how many days to wait until calling blah blah blah, that sounds stupid.

I shall also throw this tidbit that my sixth-grade teacher said: "Youth marries, youth dies." But I didn't hear it from him 'til he posted it on Facebook years later. So no, he wasn't preaching about marriage to his 6th grade students. I guess it's something you only would understand later anyway.

It does for me. Maybe not some women, but for me it is THE thing.

Yes, as I just tried to argue this point with Seoulio in the dogmeat thread...

Intention matters.

I'm thinking that the more adept at picking up subconscious cues a woman is, the more likely she is to be unlucky / unhappy in love.

That book was designed for making an impression on dazzling young club girls. If you are NOT a "d-bag," you will be only one of God knows how many and won't stand out so won't get anywhere. Would be as good as any strategy in that environment, but not to be confused with a winning approach toward true women.
