Yup. As Bastiat said, this is the kind of thing that can get a woman automatically into the “cool chick” category.

Re: Cooking
I feel like this always gets overemphasized. The few times I’ve tried to cook for guys (the present bf included), they were kind of indifferent to it. Maybe they’re just weird. :S
This is a great post though! I’d love to see more “Girl Game” stuff.

“We need to make it OK for women to dedicate themselves to pleasing their mates as a way of ultimately pleasing themselves. More giving, and less taking. And more assumption of personal risk – back to the idea that it’s the woman’s job to escalate emotionally.”
More assumption of personal risk than him? Why? Escalating emotionally means sitting him down to have “the talk” and inquire about “where is this relationship headed”? That can scare guys off. Do you mean being the first to say the dreaded 3 words “I love you”?
The give and take should be mutual.
“Never ask him to account for his time”
Why not?
This list of 25 is actually two different lists merged into one. One is a list of things aptly titled “ways to make him your boyfriend” and the other is after he already is your boyfriend and you are in a committed relationship. While I would not ask a guy I’m casually dating to account for his time, I would ask my boyfriend to and DEFINITELY my husband. Also, I would not be “unconditionally generous” or unconditionally anything with a man who has not committed to me. What has he done to deserve unconditional treatment?

I should have dedicated this post to Mike C. He felt the loss of the post with real examples of emo escalation, and said that he likes posts giving women advice on how to be more relationship worthy. I had him in mind when I wrote it.
Susan, if you were a guy, I’d have to say you could run some tight game I’m sure :) You got some good push-pull going :)
