In the spirit of gender equality, many a young woman has discarded the slow, subtle arts of flirtation and charm that females have used successfully on males for millennia, and replaced them with quick, direct strikes: punching her number into his cell phone memory, rubbing his shoulders, grinding with him on the dance floor, hooking up in the spare bedroom at a party.

The result has not been an especially happy one, some young women say, for though they may snag the guy in question, it's only until he gets a better offer.

The article gets even better after that. Highly recommended.
