Hah, I attempted to watch that video yesterday, but like Louisa, her monotone voice was doing my head in :P
Truth is, I don't see how these rules or lessons could help anyone, even if they wanted help from it. If someones character is weak enough to be influenced in all these ways on a day to day basis, a lost and confused soul doesn't make for the most attractive partner does he/she? I could imagine anyone being attracted to certain parts of a persons personality, like their confidence, honesty, maybe their shy but interesting and intellectual side... Whatever, the list could be endless.. But I can't see someone looking at another person and thinking, ahh, they seem like they could be manipulated and changed quite easily, give me 2 months and I could make that soul like Edward.
On the other side, a person who is confident in themselves, and loud and proud of who they are, are hardly going to go changing their ways because some counsellor from the other side of the planet suggested they should :P
Sure, other people could have traits about them which you think are admirable... But the fact you aren't like these folk is what gives you your individuality, which to me, is far more important when its comes to being attractive to someone, than trying to be someone you're not.
Yeah exactly, it just doesn't make any sense. I don't understand how it applies to any one gender or how it's supposed to be remotely useful in an actual relationship. If you're the kind of person that's gonna take any of this seriously, you're either incredibly manipulative or too weak willed to develop your own personality.
I guess that's the trouble with some people, they're so busy trying to be somebody else they can't appreciate individual virtues.
