Does anyone agree with "The Rules" philosophy of relationships?

[electra]

Apparently, women should never ask a man out, should rarely call him. The overall view is that the man must do ALL the running, otherwise he doesn't really like you OR if you do a lot of the work in the beginning it will set a precedent for the rest of your lives together.

I don't know what I think about it. Any thoughts?

Hi Swedes! Nice to see you around.

I hate the bloody Rules, seems so demeaning. But then I've never wanted an alpha male type anyway.

A friend of mine swears by them. She's even become a Rules counsellor. Women ring her and complain about their relationship and she reminds them of the Rules and they pay via paypal. Or something like that.

It's very American isn't it? I think there's more of a dating phenomenen there. In the UK, people seem to see each other around and then they get drunk and snog. And a few years down the line they get married.
