Zephyr Zucchini 2008-04-24 ch 4,	abuseYou know, I was actually very impressed by this paper and/or essay until this final installment. In fact, I was generally impressed (If a little wary) until your little feminist rant in the last few paragraphs. Which utterly revolted me, by the way. By limiting all womankind into a shallow and narrow group, you are effectively changing the “Patriarchy” you so fondly mock into an equally unfair and horrible “Matriarchy”. Instead of having fat old and hairy men telling modern women what to be like, you are putting fat old and hairy women in charge. And what does this do? Almost nothing! It is like adding a pound of sugar to salty soup in a futile attempt to make it taste better. No good. After all, the main points of the “Patriarchy” as you have put it are: A) Women are inferior B) Women need to be suppressed C) Women need love And the regulations of the “Matriarchy”? A) Women are superior B) Women need to suppress C) Women shouldn’t want love Equally restricting statues. Before you offer any more advice to anymore clueless and helpless men, I would advise taking your ego off the pedestal you have built for it, and examine your facts and really consider finding a happy medium. -ZZ
Shades Of Heartache 2008-02-16 ch 4,	abuseYou make me laugh. There are a few main faults in this... essay, if you want to call it that. You're taking one kind of woman, one persona, and sticking with it the whole way through. Not all women are feminists, and not all women prefer the 'hero'-istic kind of man that you pretend to be shaping up from the adolescent saplings we call boys. Sure, you have a way with words, and okay, so you've got some good points, but what more than that? Nothing. You're basically taking all women, all kinds, and shoving them into one kind; heartless, Patriarchy-driven prudes who enjoy making the lives of men hard. I'm not saying that women are perfect beings, higher than men in any way, I'll be the first to admit that we're all a bunch of fuck-ups walking around from day-to-day, having no idea how to run life. Hell, half of us don't even deserve to live. But the majority of us, gender forgotten, aren't as you say. I'm just 'thinking' from a woman's point of view, I can only speak for myself, and perhaps a few others that share the same ideals as me, when I say your 'hero' isn't the only type of guy that can be considered datable. And, I don't know, maybe you'll get to that in future chapters, maybe not. You're a little egotistical, too, aren't you? But then again, who isn't.
beccabrighteyes 2008-02-15 ch 4,	abuseOkay, coming from a grade A bitch, you come off as quite the bastard. You had a few good points about feminism, but still. Any woman that knew who you were and that you are writting this should kick your ass...no offense.
beccabrighteyes 2008-02-15 ch 2,	abuseWay to stereotye. But you know, there is the occasional girl that likes geeks, provided they are clean. Geeky can be cute.
hillhippie 2007-11-05 ch 3,	abuseHello, I liked this. You write well and present your suggestions in a pleasantly humorous way. Most of it was quite decent advice. I do think you are a bit hard on intellectual dorks. Perhaps I just have an unnatural weakness for them. Can tell you that I'd prefer having a long conversation about harem manga than spend time watching football with a guy who grunts a lot. Yes, I have done both. Especially love your plan for removing mean people from the gene pool by not dating them. Women need to hear that advice too. By the way, the best way for a man to pick a date movie is to let his date choose. 1) Removes all the pressure off him 2)If she likes it, it will make her more receptive to repeating the experience. 3)if it's awful, she will feel badly for having made her date pay and sit through it, which could mean she might feel the need to make it up to him after.

T.J. Emmet 2006-11-23 ch 1,	abuseGood work. I have to admit that when I first read your essay on how to tell if your prospective boyfriend is a sociopath, I thought you were a girl. But as it turns out, you're just a guy who knows girls very well. I am very much impressed. (And that wasn't an insult, just one of my strange compliments.) While admittedly, and at the expense of sounding like a broken record cause god knows enough girls will have told you this, we're not all that stereotypical and blah blah, it's amazing how many boys forget to shower or ask you on a date before they attempt to undress you. So keep up the good work and spread the gospel to the brotherhood. Though I have to admit, sometimes dorky is cute. Give me a guy who can talk literature and plays the cello any day.
Sci-Fi Raptor 2006-06-21 ch 1,	abuseThis was really good. Would have been slightly useful if I read it while in highschool, though I had come across similar things. Since then, I have learned that the concept of "be yourself" seems to be the best strategy, since it requires less energy and in essence is best for a long term relationship.
Koharu Mitsuki 2006-05-16 ch 1,	abuseWhoa, wow. Just...wow. I'm a girl, but I was really interested with your summary, so I read it. Well, it seems that you know a lot about what girls want and all that. Well, most of it are true, but just an advice, we girls aren't really as stereotyped as what you have written here. At least, that's what I think. Anyway, it's definitely going in my Favorites.
H.T. Heaven 2006-01-22 ch 1,	abuseHere's my two cents...I feel bad for any guy who feels like the only way they will get a girl is if they abide by these 'standards'. If a guy wants to not take baths, be a dork and the opposite of whatever else you stated here, true - they will have a difficult time finding a girl, but I say it's worth the wait to find that someone rather than conforming to what you stated here. And it's a lot better to fight your loneliness and say you got something out of it you could use in the rest of your life than be something that you aren't and end up confused, lost and once again...alone. This was nicely written though. Light humor and excellent grammer (as well as sentence structure) - I just don't agree with the message. Which is fine...we all can't agree. Anyway, keep writing.
Tikvah Ariel 2006-01-04 ch 1,	abuseFrom the female perspective (which I'm sure you get a lot of on this website), I think you have some interesting ideas. You don't however, suggest learning to get to know the girl or her interests, not to date the vain shallow people that make you color coordinate and associate stereotypes by calling you dorky, or in fact, why you need to date at all. Your grammar is excellent though, and I suppose that for people who were idiotic enough not to use common sense, it might be helpful. On a side note though, at my school there is a class on Japanese and I'm impressed by the guys who take it because it is such a harder class. This is well written with a good humour and mocking tone though, and it was an enjoyable peice for the most part. Thanks for reviewing me
ku 2005-12-02 ch 3,	abuseinteresting. i might try some of those tips and hopefully get better luck. those rules sound so cruel tho.
kp-828 2005-12-01 ch 1,	abusehaha your one funny guy, there is some stereotyping in there that could get some females angry but not this one! its marvelous! way to go... definitely favorite list worthy! -kp
K. Francesco 2005-12-01 ch 5,	abuseMeh. I thought it would be amusing, but it isn't. Just so-so; serious, not or in-between--any of those ways and it still falls flat. Kat
boys kiss girls 2005-12-01 ch 1,	abuseHaha... is it a bad thing that this reminded me of all my guy friends? Probably. This is great, I enjoyed reading it, it was very entertaing. Keep up the good work!
