Also, they warn to let the man be the "aggressor," as it's in his nature. Women should be passive and acted upon, or at least give that impression.
Barf.
I don't know what I find worse: the fact that these women think this way, or the possibility that it's precisely this sort of attitude that does work.
I've known two women who could really pull off "agressive" well. One of them was my ex wife, and another one, who did come on to me was really not my type. Those were the only two who I have ever seen pull it off, though. Most women say they do agressive and want to be "active," but when push comes to shove, they don't pull it off. Conversely, I've known about three or four who were up front about wanting to be pursued and chased and "reactive" and admitted it openly.
Personal belief based upon admittedly annecdotal evidence: Most women either pay lip service to the idea of being sexually agressive, but really aren't, or merely think they are but really aren't. Obviously, each individual is different, and the people with whom one normally associates and to whom one is attracted are a selected sample, but still...
Ah, I dunno. Everyone is unique. Statistics doesn't matter in the long run, unless we're talking book sales...
