Men want a beautiful, healthy young woman.
Money and brains are usually not as important.
3. Chad- The man who gets all the girls.
He doesn’t want to get married.
“Why buy the cow when you can get
the milk for free?”
He gets all the women he wants on
Tinder and dating apps.
The women he dates think that
because they can date him, they can
probably marry him. They may be
disappointed that he doesn’t want
that.
4. Young, beautiful women have a lot of power.
A beautiful young woman has the choice of
almost any man she wants. This power goes
down as she gets older or has children.
It’s important for a young woman to
understand their power and use it correctly.
Don’t waste it. Don’t use it to hurt other
people.
Women often get jealous of a beautiful
woman.
5. Incels
An incel is someone who cannot get a girlfriend or
boyfriend.
They may be ugly, poor, or have no social skills.
Sometimes they give up on dating.
6. Herbivore men
Men in many countries are not manly anymore. This is because feminism and
other changes in culture.
7. The birth control pill

changed the world in the
1960’s.
It gave women the freedom to
have sex without having a baby.
Feminism has also given
women more power in dating.
8. Women are finding it harder to get married
and have children

become “old maids”.
They want to have children, but it is
difficult after age 35.

with someone they don’t really care
about.
10. Why do men cheat? Why do women cheat?
• Men usually cheat because they want to have some fun with a pretty
young woman.
• Women usually cheat because they want to upgrade to a richer or
better man for marriage.
12. Sex on the first date
• Is it a good idea?
• It is probably better to wait and build a relationship first.
• If you don’t really like the person you are having sex with, it will not
be satisfying.
13. Friends with benefits
Being “friends with benefits” means you are
having sex with someone, but you are not “in a
relationship”.
Do you think this is a good idea?
14. Women get attached when they have sex.
If a man has sex with a
woman and then dumps
her, it will break her heart.
This is true for a man too,
but not as strongly.

It seems crazy, but now this is
popular.
Should people sign a contract for a

consent forms before sex so no one

• Can you think of other rules?
18. Ghosting- disappearing from the relationship
Sometimes people are afraid to say “I want to end this.” so
they just stop answering messages and calls.
This is very cruel.
It is better to tell someone “Sorry, I don’t think I can meet
you anymore. Good luck!”
19. Oxytocin- The love hormone
When people have sex and have
orgasms, oxytocin is released in their
brain.
It makes people fall in love, and it
causes heartbreak when the love
doesn’t work.

brothel
Robot brothel
Some people want to
have sex without having

and disgusting and
empty of love.
But at least no one gets
a broken heart, and
everyone gets what
they wanted.
