I've long said that women in their 20's base their self-worth on which guy they are with and then, as tehy get older and become successful in their careers, or whatever else they are pursuing, their sense of self-worth shifts from the value of their guy to their own accomplishments. So as a woman hits 30 and beyond they do start looking for the nice guy. Someone who might not be the stud with the fancy car. Rather a companion to share their accomplishments with.

Of course women like to have fun too. And if you're having fun, you will make others around you have fun. And if a woman enjoys being around you, a relationship is bound to follow.

So why is the article right? Because that "other" guy the writer talked about, the asshole, well, he got her attention. He made her laugh. He had fun while the writer sat at home complaining about assholes. I've been there. We've all been there.

And why is the article wrong? Well, Bill Gates, in addressing the employees of his fledgling company at the time, said: "Are you willing to do what you have to do to get what you want?"

I thought that was a rather great quote. Was the writer willing to hold her door just because....AND tell her that dirty joke that would make her laugh for 2 minutes straight? Would he buy her that gift she mentioned 5 months ago...AND slam 6 shits of Tequila on a dare?

No. He wouldn't. Because he's a pansy.
