I'm not sure what the problem is, but the link to the OKCupid post doesn't work-- I had to use google to reread the comments.

Do you mean the link in the original post to the earlier thread? It worked for me just now. What problem did you have?

Unless I missed something, there were more favorable comments than not, and from more people.

Most of the active discussion I've seen has been about why this is hogwash and shouldn't be posted here (so I appreciate hearing another view). But I only get alerted to comments for threads I'm alread in, so my view is pretty biased.

there are a number of men on LW who found that a lot of the advice they'd been given by women about dating didn't work for them

I'm new here; did you get this impression from previous discussion, individual comments over time, or something else? If it's true, I wonder how similar the women-being-asked and women-being-pursued were (e.g. if they were discussing it with their nerdy female friends and then trying to pick women up at clubs, or vice versa). I confess that I take on a charitable view of peoples' goals in romantic pursuit, and also that my idea of "charitable" is pretty close to "assuming it agrees with me." (As it should! Would you trust someone who behaved in ways they didn't recommend?)
