Obviously when you paint with a broad brush you get paint on places you don't intend to. I think your friend may not be the brain trust he might think he is. That being said, my own experience regarding the general differences between men and women stem from a time I spent as a portrait photographer at a dating service. The place was a membership only type place where men and women would fill out a full page "bio" with standard questions about education, occupation, religion, and so forth with the occupation listed in the upper right corner of the page. On the back of this bio page were 4 photos of the prospective date.

Without exception the women would go through the books of men's profiles by thumbing through the upper right corners scanning occupations until they found someone who was making "mad loot" as one of the women there put it. Then they'd send him an invitation. The men, again without exception would flip through the books of women's profiles from back to front, when they found an attractive woman they'd read her profile and send her an invite.

The short, fat, bald, rude men who were bankers, stock brokers, hedge fund managers, lawyers, and doctors got a lot of dates with very hot women. The guys who were polite and sincere but working in blue collar jobs didn't get many dates at all despite being handsome.

I really got to see how fucked up people can be when it comes to expectations and relationships.
