Awhile back I had a conversation with friends, which brought up what I thought was an interesting question…

If a young man, seeking to date, wants to know what would make him more attractive to women, should he ask his women friends for advice ? Or should he seek advice from male friends who are especially popular with women ?

One friend replied that asking women what women like would make more sense.
But another friend argued that while women could tell him what they found attractive, a popular man, who presumably dated different types of women, perhaps could advise what consistently worked in terms of attracting them.

What do you think makes more sense ?

I'd say he asks his women friends because the woman he's likely to like will probably be more similar to them, whereas it's anybody's guess whether the guys who are successful with women are succeeding with anyone even remotely like who he's looking for.

Having said that I just think it can be a huge mistake to clump men and women in to two separate categories generalising each. I think this can lead to a lot of ill feeling, upset and misunderstanding. I personally think it's best to view people strictly as individuals and go from there, in every kind of relationship.
