| Stay thin, obey your man - bestseller |
| 2008-09-01 |
| A SELF-help guide that tells women to stay thin and follow their man's orders if they want to keep him has become a bestseller. The book, The Re-education Of The Female, also says women should wear sexy clothes while doing the cooking and cleaning. Copies of first-time author Dante Moore's book have been flying off the shelves in the US, Britain's Daily Mail reports. One piece of advice reads: "Men never really ask for anything. They command. And believe me, what you won't do, 10 broads around the corner will." Advising women to stay slim to attract men, Moore also writes: "When you go to the grocery store to shop, do you pick out the nastiest-looking, most rotten, smelliest fruit or meat you can find? "Oh you don't? Why not? It's the same with men when they see ... baby elephant-sized, out-of-shape women." Moore, a 33-year-old computer engineer, says he wants to help women and wrote the book to show where they go wrong in relationships. Moore himself has never married, has a girlfriend of two years, an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship and says he has never found true love. The sequel writes itself: "Now go into the kitchen and make me some pie!" |

| #14 The man is still writing with his little head. Food and sex will get a relationship going but it won't hold it together. Mutual appreciation is the glue that holds them together over the long run. It's held together by small but constant reminders of that appreciation over the months and years. It's also the extended droughts and absence of those expresses done hundred different ways that is the ultimate Chinese water torture that destroys relationships. |

| #9 it seems unlikely in the extreme that a guy like this is in any position to make demands. Depends on the position. ** rimshit ** I'm here all week! |

| #8 Since about 80-90% of the "thin, beautiful" women nowadays won't settle for less than a six figure salary and obedience from the earner of said salary, it seems unlikely in the extreme that a guy like this is in any position to make demands. |

| #7 I mean, if this actually worked, wouldn't he have supermodels lining up at the door instead of the child support enforcement agents? That depends on how much he makes with the book. |

| #5 I was going to write something, but lotp covered it beautifully. Congratulations to Ms. lotp's on her creative application of the small business model! Oh, and I'll take the gentlemanly and studly Mr. Wife over that cad, Mr. Moore. (Is there something about the name that brings out the worst in men?) |

| #4 Moore himself has never married, has a girlfriend of two years, an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship and says he has never found true love. Are you guys sure it isn't satire? I mean, if this actually worked, wouldn't he have supermodels lining up at the door instead of the child support enforcement agents? |

| #3 So Ms. Lotp, our daughter, has a small business designing avatars etc. for other people in Second Life. She tells hilarious stories about the guys who demand well-endowed avatars that just oooze testosterone. And whose voices, when she chats with them via streaming audio, suggest pimpled faces and furtive one-person sex in the bathrooms of dorms and cheap apartments. Let's see: wannabe tough guy vs, say, Todd Palin. Or Mr. Lotp. Nope, gonna pass on the book I think. |

| #1 The truth hurts. I predict a withering response, or more likely, no response at all as "they" try to keep the book and its dangerous ideas as obscure as possible. |
