Well since I consider myself a conservative feminist and not a progressive's idea of a feminist, I guess I'll comment on his suggestions:
First up, women are HUMAN BEINGS. They're not objects of any kind, they're not property to be owned, or female dogs, or anything other than HUMAN BEINGS... they're PEOPLE. And they really appreciate it when you treat them like people.
So is it wrong that I enjoyed being whistled at and some types of wolf calling?
Second, I'm willing to bet that a lot of them are smarter than you are... Especially, in that treating PEOPLE like PEOPLE department. It would help you in the long run if you really remembered that.
Well I'm not arrogant when it comes to relationships, in some ways I'm smarter than hubby and in some ways he's smarter than me. I don't consider 1 to be far more superior than the other overall.
Third, since women are PEOPLE, of course there are good women and bad women, like people in general. Repeat: Basically the rules for both good and bad women are the same for PEOPLE in general. Bad women lie, cheat, steal and kill. Good women don't, just like people in general. Just because some strange woman that you meet in the street or a bar doesn't want to sleep with you, (because I guess that you're not treating her like a human being), it doesn't make her a bad person... As a matter of fact, chances are that she won't sleep in because you're acting like an ass probably and that, my friend, means that she's probably a GOOD PERSON instead.
?
Forth, A SECRET: Most women won't tell you this, but take it from me that most women are actually highly sexual people. That's right, women enjoy sex... Imagine that. But it comes with rules, of course:
Highly? maybe some but not all, some prefer 2-3 times a week and not 2-3 times per day.
1. Women prefer to choose whom they have sex with. Each woman has her own idea about whom they choose to have sex with, when and why.
Well duh!
2. If you're in doubt about whether a woman wants to have sex with you, refer to rule 1.
3. Harassing women on the street for sex is not a good way of going about changing their minds when they have decided that they don't wan't to have sex with you. Again refer to rule 1.
What constitutes harassment? as we know a progressive idea of harassment is a man just coming over to talk.
4. Rape is not sex, it's violence and women generally don't enjoy being violated.
Who said rape is sex? I'm personally finding this person very condescending.
Fifth, RESPECT for women goes a long way in getting women to like you. Sex may or may not be in the outing... But, it's best not to expect it to be. Respect for women has it's own special perks... Like friendship and not getting slapped with restraining orders.
?
Sixth, You're in no right position to judge any woman that you meet on her looks, her weight, her choice of attire, her drink of choice, her career, her choice of sex partners, her intelligence, or anything else about her... Unless she trusts you enough to ask you for your opinion. If you do have her permission to offer it, remember that RESPECT is the best way to go.
Like it or not 1st impressions mean something.
Seventh, when it comes to engaging her with rude language about sex, unless she gives you her permission, it's best to keep your mouth shut about the subject.
Maybe it's just me but I can't say I've ever gone out with a man like stated above.
Eight, If you really can't fight the urge to say hello to a strange woman that you've never met before... The best way to go about it is just to say "hello", or "good day", don't leer or stare, or stalk her... Just extend a friendly, respectful greeting and be on your way. Chances are that you'll leave her with a favorable impression about yourself. If it's meant to be, it could work out in the long run.
This is what I mean, to progressives a simple hi can be construed as harassment.
Ninth, if you wouldn't say something to your own mom or sister, you probably shouldn't say it to a strange woman in a bar or on the street.
OK, you're batting 1 for 10 now.
And finally tenth, if a woman doesn't want to talk to you, obviously you haven't taken into consideration anything that I've said. Which means more than likely, that you're doing it all wrong. So, start at the top of my list and try it all over again.
Maybe the woman is just having a bad day? and maybe in a few days she'd gladly talk to the guy.

Honestly as a woman, when I hear men toss out the phrase "I'd tap that..." I am truly glad I don't own a gun.
I actually find that line pretty

15. No thanks Mr Scorpio
I'll make my own decisions about women. Nice that you're trying to endear yourself to the female population here at DU though..
