This should be mandatory reading

I haven't read his book but this is terrible advice. Very male centric perspective.

Saying "no" explicitly to a man's advances can cause a woman to be stabbed (see the recent news from NYC). Men are irrational and emotional. Women don't have to give 2 fucks about wasting a man's time.

It's much better to have a Google voice number you can give out and then block as needed. Or maybe say that you're a lesbian or married. At least that's a softer rejection in the eyes of a HEmotional.

It's a shame because I've heard so many good things about the book. I hope this paragraph is an anomaly...
