Dear Author of "10 Pro Tips to Turn Your Average Guy Into A Womanizing Stud,"
While trying to solve one of my worst cases of writer's block, I stumbled across your article. Taken aback by the brash title, I began reading it. Only a few paragraphs in, I stopped because I became frustrated at the article's obvious sexism.
Your article aims to catch the attention of desperate, pre-pubescent males who are yearning to attract women, transforming them from awkward boys into "womanizing studs."
First of all, how would you even know what type of men women are attracted to?
Your article attempts to speak for all women and what they physically admire in men, but all you seem to accomplish is exaggerating untrue stereotypes. All you do is promote this image of a "Macho Man" who constantly charms women with his good-looks, muscles, and tough demeanor. Oh, Author, you could not be more wrong about what women. I seriously think any sort of research or proof you used behind your reasoning for your article was mere stupidity or what you see in movies from the 1990s.
All in all, your article is a poor reflection of yourself.
It shows your obsession with identifying with certain stereotypes for boys to follow. And by following them, you claim to some sort of superiority which guarantees women and power, but what you really seem to be failing to hold onto is your masculinity. And that represents a product of yourself, not the audience which you project your work towards.
I know I must be stupid for reading an article on a website such as Odyssey too deeply, and maybe it was some sort of joke you wanted to put out there. But by writing this response, I want to inform you that it was in poor taste and dialogue. And I would care to mention that you forgot key characteristics in your article: that women prefer men who are genuine, kind, compassionate, and empathetic.
Men who may or may not be athletic or toned, but who are their own person with individual hobbies, passions, and interests.
But more importantly, women deserve respect.
And when a muscular, tall, attractive young man that you have described walks into a setting, his physical appearance will never compensate for that respect and dignity that each woman deserves in a relationship, whether it be amiable or romantic.
I hope that this response will make you think about what you have implied through your writing. And through your thinking, I hope you will realize that a boy does not need any of what you have listed, but rather all he needs to possess to make him attractive is a strong sense of self and respect for women.
