Do be sweet, do not be annoying
The jokes write themselves.
Presumably “land a great guy” means “capture the affections of a man for purposes of marriage or commitment or a rewarding temporary relationship”…but isn’t the list kind of bare bones? Even putting feminism aside for a moment, is that really what Great Guys want? Someone sweet and not annoying? That’s it?
On the upside, I guess women in the market for a Great Guy can feel relieved, because meeting the criteria would be a doddle. No need to be thoughtful or curious or clever or widely read or funny or surprising or…anything, really. Just sweet; just not annoying.
I say it’s simpler to get a blow-up doll and a chef.
The list could easily be boiled down to a single cardinal rule. Throw out everything but the last one:
How to Land a Great Guy; Get a Great Gal; Be the Best Mom; Become a Super Dad; Win that Wonderful Job; and Rate All Around Tops:
1.) Don’t be annoying.

It’s “first do no harm” all over again. Very good in its way, but not enough for a Deep Personal Relationship. Is a good rule for riding the bus or sitting in a movie theater, but limited for more time-consuming interactions.
Also Google’s old motto.
I guess I’m not a great guy. Just as well I’m already married.
Just in case people were wondering what gender is and why true feminism is anti-gender… Zuby.
Some guys like great women who don’t hail from Stepford. Some guys don’t feel the need to give advice to women. Some guys admire angry feminists. I could go on, but I’m not as great as Zuby.

I would really, really, really, like to make a sandwich for Zuby.

And who the hell is Zuby?
