		<description>[...] To me, Valentine&#8217;s Day &#8212; compelled giving, expected generosity, female entitlement, and fear of female retaliation &#8212; is not the elevation but the denigration of women. Worse, it is an annual &#8220;celebration&#8221; of male irrelevance, symptomatic and emblematic of it. I didn&#8217;t have enough time to fully develop my arguments (see &#8220;Boycott Valentine&#8217;s Day!&#8221;), but I made enough valid points to hit my target. [...]</description>

		<description>My girlfriend and I just came back from a vacation together where we split costs 50/50 as Marc instructs in his book.  It was great.  She had the time of her life.  Each time we spent money she was asking me to write it down so we could keep it fair.  

When she brought up the valentines day subject I told her I don&#039;t do that and she accepted it without question.

Marc, you make it so much easier.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Foxnews.com has a link to video of Rudov on Cavuto&#039;s program.  Pretty short segment unfortunately, but a good back &amp; forth.  Nice exposure though.</description>

		<description>Most of the commentors here, as evidenced by their comments, have lived in darkness all their lives. When the blinding light of truth is shone at them, they run from it &amp; deny it. For them no proof is sufficient, while for me no proof is necessary.

I have made my own odyssey from date-hungry teenager to self-confident 30-year-old. With the help of various books, including Marc&#039;s, I came to realize what spoiled princesses most women are, &amp; how much better it is to be alone than to even try to relate to them on an intimate level. On a just-friends level they&#039;re fine, but once dating enters the mix they turn into Ms. Hyde. Neither the feminist left (who incessantly advocate laws like VAWA) nor the religious right (who incessantly tout marriage as the bedrock of society) are any friends of mine.

The mate selection process is a 2-way street. Just as women mercilessly analyze our intentions toward them, WE must read between the lines in THEIR motives toward us--on V-day or any other day.</description>

		<description>amfortas &lt;a href=&quot;http://mensnewsdaily.com/2007/02/05/boycott-valentines-day/#comment-31448&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;...her objective is to lure Marc in and tell her friends after.  The jerk actually thought he gave me an orgasm, hahahaha&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

amfortas, I don&#039;t see what is so objectionable about Marc&#039;s message.  It&#039;s quite simple, actually.  Men benefit in relationships when they reject double standards, and reject the idea of female privilege.  Men also benefit when they make themselves more sexually appealing to women, rather than more financially appealing.  It would seem, based on your last comment, that you believe women simply are incapable of enjoying the sexual company of men without resorting to pretense.  If she&#039;s faking it sexually, and not getting financial goodies either, what is her incentive for being in the relationship?  Even the proverbial girlfriends you mentioned might call her on that one.  Perhaps it is true that women are the less rational, more emotional gender.  But I highly doubt that women would seek out a relationship with absolutely no benefits to themselves.  Marc is merely saying that their primary benefit ought to be sexual and emotional.  Any financial goodies (bestowed by the man, not earned on her own) are completely the prerogative of the man -- and the less entitled she feels to these financial goodies, the better.

What could be simpler?

Marc:  Good luck on Fox News channel tomorrow!</description>

		<description>Sometimes, Marc, I think you don&#039;t bother even to read what people here write. You just take offense, reach for your sex-shooter and blast away. 

If you know anything about anything about the message I constantly give you could not possibly come up with - &#039;The way to stop playing the game is not to play it. That is precisely what KateM is telling you&#039;. As though this was news! As though Kate actually said that. 

I have been saying &#039;stop playing the game&#039; for years, cloth ears. And lots of other &#039;games&#039; women wanna play. 

As for this - &quot;It matters not what you learned at 13&quot; - so what do you say to the 14, 15, 18 year old who has the &#039;no pay, no play&#039; reinforced every ten minutes? Don&#039;t play? Good idea. So get thee to the school playground and give your lessons there and don&#039;t be so patronising to grown men here.

Not a good idea to proposition your married female correspondents either.

How about this sage advice - &quot;You must take responsibility for your choices and stop thinking of yourself as a victim&quot;. Wow, Dr Phil.  Reminds me of the hippy, hit by a truck. He looks up at his friend and says &quot;call me an ambulance, man&#039;, and his friend replies, &#039;OK man, you&#039;re an ambulance, cool&#039;.

Frankly, if women were the sex fiends that you describe, they would not sabotage themselves so readily by playing stupid games. But let&#039;s be realistic. The average woman is pretty thick when it comes to sex. To her it is a game to win and the prize isn&#039;t an orgasm. She will take &#039;one of those that she&#039;s having&#039; of course like a dog with a piece of string but her objective is to lure Marc in and tell her friends after. &quot;The jerk actually thought he gave me an orgasm, hahahaha&quot;

On here you may get the occasional woman appluading your books, but what do the woman you have actually been with say afterwards, Marc, when you are out of earshot and your sex-shooter has been fired out of ammo?

Perhaps you are amongst the most fortunate men who have only ever met adult women. Most women however are children, They never get beyond the schoolyard where they taught the 13 year olds to &#039;pay before you play&#039;. They keep doing it all thir lives. Instead of lecturing men, maybe you should turn your talent to writing ABOUT women instead of for them. You don&#039;t seem to write for men except to call them jerks.</description>

		<description>Interesting ideas.  Some man once said that every woman is a whore in the hands of the right man.  It wasn&#039;t an indictment but his reflection on the nature of female sexuality.  There exists though a double standard, and many women are made to feel guilty about their desires.  Trip to Jamaica anyone?

Author Michelle Langley said the following on the Leykis program some time ago:  (paraphrasing)

&quot;Men spread the seed, but women GATHER it&quot;

What do you think?  Thanks,</description>
