Men are like Waffles

Oh the things I find at work. Today I found a note on a lined piece of notebook paper. I still am trying to figure out why someone took the time to copy all of this down.

An excerpt from the book Men are like waffles, Women are like Spaghetti by Bill and Pam Farrel
"How to Impress a Woman: Compliment her, Cuddle her, Kiss her, Caress her, LOVE her,stroke her, tease her, hold her,spend money on her, dine  her, buy things for her, listen to her, care for her, stand by her, Support her, go to the ends of the earth for her.
How to Impress a Man: Show up NAKED." (p.95)

As you can imagine, this quote ignited quite the conversation on the battle of the sexes for my coworkers and I. We basically felt that this lead to a nugget of wisdom that we have been hearing for a while: "Men give love to get sex, girls give sex to get love." We see this all the time in the relationships around us. Friends with benefits, girls with a guy who can provide, the girl who all the guys in the office have slept with. It's a common trend. Can we help it, if this is really how we're wired.
This brings me back to an even deeper engrained idea, the idea of pursuit. If this is true, that a guy pursues a girl to get sex, but a girl gives sex to be pursued, would it not make sense to allow a man to initiate? If a man is already getting what he wants why would he pursue. Like my mom says, "Why buy the cow when the milk is free?" Interesting concept on guys and girls in relationship. Would love to hear some thoughts.
