I figured, but guys are always saying this. They're being told by other men how to be attractive to women and it's not working.

The men giving instruction clearly do not have a handle on what how attraction works for women.

In truth, they're telling men what THEY find attraxtive about other men. So, unless one is trying rondate them, one should not place so much value in their advice.

I know you meant it rhetorically, but the question needs to be answered at every opportunity to combat Peterson and Tate bullshit.

What do you mean you don't understand the gut reaction? If you don't mind me asking. Do you mean you think we're just making these assessments as snap decisions?
