After reading a few posts of KDJ, I think he's sort of talking about the right thing, but in a weird way. I think what he's trying to say (or at least, what works) is for guys to be leaders. Note that not all girls like guys like this, but it helps. By being confident in yourself, by having your act together, but bringing people together and having fun, you're seen as a much more desirable person.
I think what KDJ is trying to say is don't put the ***** on the pedestal. Don't get one-itis (where you only like one person and become super-obsessed with that person). Girls tend not to like it when they become the center of the guy's life. They tend to like someone who has their own life, their own friends, who is self-supporting and doesn't need to rely on them all day. The same thing goes for guys, too. Most guys don't want a girl who would just lie around all day at home, waiting for them to return. Guys want an educated woman who can take care of herself, who has her **** together, who has her own job and is supporting herself. Obviously, you want to be able to rely on each other, to have each other's backs, but at the same time, you need that level of independence.
Note that I say "tend" a lot, because no two girls are the same. I hate ever saying "if you are _____ then girls will like you more," because it's SO dependent on SO many factors...but, I do believe that there are things, on average, that guys can do that will make them more attractive to women.

Quote from my Facebook wall:
i wish this facebook message could jump out and kiss you,
for all of the sweet and cute things that you do,
the muscles cd came at the same time as the flowers,
you must have some super natural powers,
That was from sending a (second) bouquet of roses to a girl back in America. We dated for about a month in the summer then I left for Japan. When I go back on Dec 23rd it would have been 5 months since we'd last seen each other.
Not only did I send roses, but I also took the lyrics to her favorite song and reworked them into a poem. The first bouquet of flowers I sent her (a few months ago) had a much simpler poem...I believe it went like:
"With you I wish I could be,
To share these every day,
Instead take these from me,
My hugs and kisses in a bouquet."
Her AIM away message was devoted to me for the next week or so after that

Not to mention I didn't even know how well the poems would go over...to be completely honest, we hadn't hung out enough for me to
really get to know her. Yet, all my girl friends that I told this story to said it was really romantic, that girls will pretend to just be happy to receive flowers but deep down inside a lot of them will be extremely ecstatic, they'll want to show it off to all their friends, because now they're being treated like the girl in all those romance novels or movies.
Funny thing was, I met this girl just as I was contemplating changing my image. I had too strong of a "nice guy" image, constantly doing nice things without even realizing it. I had always heard that girls like the guys who are jerks to them, so I thought changing that part of me might be worth a shot. When I told her about that she got really worried, she likes the nice guys and wouldn't want me to ever become a "bad guy". And not only is this girl beautiful, but I can't beat her at Mario Kart, and even though we both started Twilight Princess at the same time, she beat it before me by about a month (granted I was doing other stuff in Japan, but still

).
Point is, all girls are different. Some fall under a similar category, but nearly every girl you talk to will say "I'm not like most other girls", and she'll always be right - she's not. What works for one girl won't necessarily work for another. You could be a jerk to one girl and she'll like you, most definitely, but is that really the kind of girl you want to be with? I'd prefer to be with a girl that likes me for me, not a girl that likes me for whatever front I can put up.

[Yes, a good percentage of girls work the same in some situations. Read "The Game" by Niel Strauss if you ever want to know how to pick up a girl. No, seriously,
buy (or download if you must) this book, if you've never had much luck in love, this will definitely help you. Also watch Mystery's "The Pick-Up Artist" on VH1, the series is already over but you can find the torrents online). I didn't have to use any of the skills that that book taught me to meet this girl (actually I found out about it after I met her), but the things they talk about definitely do work on most girls. It's just basically about being witty and interesting. It gives you ways to talk to girls that you have nothing in common with ("So what do you think about tattoos?") and teaches you fun other tricks to make you seem a bit more interesting. Anyways, highly recommended for those nice guys who are vastly under-appreciated - the methods talked about in this book will allow you to keep being yourself, but allow you to express it to girls in a way that is attractive to them.)
