Thank you for your wonderful feminist critique of our website. Unfortuneately, neither you nor I are going to change society which teaches men to be tough and women to be pretty. We don't have to justify our program to anyone except our clients. have a nice day! why don't you critique our competitors? they're really much more hardcore male pigs than we are. mysterymethod.com or realsocialdynamics.com or seduction.com


Now, I understand their sentiment that others may be worse. What I dont get is how that's a justification for perpetuating the ills of society that they seem to be aware of as well.

Any ideas on how I should respond??

...is it wrong that most men will focus on being tough, and most women will focus on being pretty?

On average, mens' primary desire in life is sex. Studies show that 90% of a person's happiness can be predicted by the state of their sex life. Being 'tough' is useful in seduction, so of course men will spend their time on it.

On average, womens' primary desire in life is material comfort. Since beauty causes other people to pay for your time and presence, it's an economic winner for them to be beautiful if possible.

Which is why, as recently seen with my cousin, once a girl gets the ring on a man's finger, she's oft prone to "let herself go".
