Women do have an instruction manual. Problem is, it's only available in Swahili.

"I was disturbed by women being manipulated by a set of rules". Yeah, that is very disturbing to me. 1) If a guy is such a grey personality and loser and has to use some sort of sociopathic technique that he can manipulate and control a woman for his own selfish needs...hhhmmm...and a woman is so messed up she can be manipulated by such, well I guess they deserve each other and can go to their own hell. in essense, you can reverse the role and you have a woman being a whore to attract the simple things in life. Hang around the world of crack or meth for an extreme example. What I am saying is that anyone who has to put up a false, manipulative front to get what they want, I really question what they want. Or who they are dealing with. Or their own personal sickness. This whole idea is so pathologically sociopathic that in effect, the concept in theory involves illegal human violations on both sides. Well, I guess if you are a guy who needs such a manual, and a women who responds to such technique, it is a sick sad world. jeez, DM

I find that the wedding ring on my finger is a deal breaker just about every time!

Right on the money. You would think it would be the men who would have to have a web site to lure women. After all, we are creatures too complex to pigeonhole into one strategy. Men are easy. A little cleavage does the trick every time.

"How to impress a man: Show up naked" Is that your final web site decision?

Sharp piece, Ms Arthur. Like a lot of good jokes, that one has a solid basis in reality. Men are quite perplexed by the immense volume of women-targeted books and magazine articles about relationships. Women seem convinced, based on no very good reason that I can fathom, that their opposite numbers are much more complex than they actually are. Fact is, regular access to some food and some action is really all that's needed to keep most of us reasonably happy in a relationship. There's little or no subtext here. All those how-to books say much more about the women who read them than they do about the men they claim to decipher.
