Hello Mare. I'm joyeous's friend. We met at the puppet show thing. I couldn't help but notice this thread.
As a heterosexual man, those rules are bunk. Plain and simple. You can't apply hard and fast rules to a diverse population, even amongst heterosexual women.
Think about it: if those magazines actaully gave good advice, men would get married, their wives would cancel their subscription, and they'd go out of business. I jest, but I've often wondered if it is in their best interest to give bad advice.
The last example, however, is believed to be true by many men. Many men (and maybe I am included?) believe that a woman's sense of jealousy can be subconsciously triggered, thereby providing a (perhaps false) elevated level of interest. Dating is an ugly business.
