Honestly I think this is the smartest sentence in there:
Of course they aren't. Most people don't think much about what they really want, just like they don't think much about who they really are. It's possible that het men and het women are so different that the men aren't also clueless in this regard, but I doubt it. And each set treats the other like its members are stupid about relationships at best, and deliberately conniving at worst. No wonder we get this ridiculous, overblown sense of adversary about dating. : \
This woman thinks the reason men get bad advice is that they're not asking the right questions. I don't agree with everything in that article, but overall I think it's on the right track.

They know whether they're getting good customer service. But I don't particularly agree with the analogy. Men and women should be working with each other, not against each other. I don't tolerate potential partners who treat me otherwise, and I don't have much sympathy for people who do.
