That 's what I like about it. He 's simply stating the obvious. But he 's putting how us losers go through our lives, continually losing out on the tamale, into words that make a lot of sense. That 's something I know I've never been able to do.
If you bother reading through, watch out for the last section. It 's pure shameless advertising.

Almost every single paragraph is filled entirely with cliched stereotypes, baseless elitism and pseudo-science.

As it is men and not women who tend to make the first move in a relationship, it is only natural that confident men will have more success than cowards, as the confident men will actually go and talk to women, whereas the cowards will just sit in the corner.
Trying to go from this rather obvious situation to a conclusion that women only like confident men seems a little strange, really.

I disagree. The clichéd stereotypes may be clichéd stereotypes, but they do truly describe the woman of today (at least in my eyes). I also feel the "baseless elitism " to be a good thing. Except, I don 't believe the elitism is baseless. I think it has a quite strong base, which most people call rejection. And the pseudo-science? Well, it simply serves to further our understanding of what he 's saying.

I agree with nod. He's using grandiose generalizations to appeal to every lonely guy out there by making it sound like it's never their fault. He preys on people's inability to accept responsibility for themselves.
He's only "right" if you accept that you will HAVE to do something to get noticed by "in demand" women, and you may still not be something she's interested in.
Women are not obligated to like you. If you're running into repeated rejection, maybe you should look closer to home rather than blame the entire female species for your predicament.

You've spurned me into action. I'm going to be cool and confident tomorrow. I'm going to smack that bitch at the youth centre until she comes to her senses and realizes I'm the only one for her. Not literally.
Edit: As I was argumenting Nod's point, I realized that it was all a cunningly disguised sales ploy. I decided not to "give in", however.
