The advice that men get when asking women about romance is often pretty much useless and will do more harm than good. It would be way more useful to ask men that have their stuff together and know what they are talking about. Besides, every man has female friends to ask. So, sadly, I don't think this is a good business idea at all.

This. How people view sex, relationships, gender roles etc. is highly variable, and the advice you get from the opposite sex has to be taken with a grain of salt. You can see this in the subreddits about relationships or particular genders on Reddit where the advice is all over the place and some of the advice given would be damaging to follow, so having to shell out money for similar results sounds like a hard sell to me.

I'd go further and say that the notion that there is "a" female perspective is sort of pernicious.

  Well, there is a female perspective - thing is, women will tell men about what they are wanting but have no idea how provide the feeling of what she is wanting. I whole heartedly agree that women giving romance advice to men is, a bad thing (I also think men giving women romance advice is also a bad thing).

    Thats what I meant by pernicious, not all women are like that. Some certainly are like that, but not all. I have had girlfriends who wouldn't tell me about what they were wanting, and in fact my current girlfriend is perfectly able to tell me how to provide the feeling she wants most of the time.

      That's awesome, hold onto that! Most of the time you have to play the domination game in order to have anything of meaning with a woman - but if you have a girl that's on the same plane with you, that will reduce the amount "drama" in the relationship and also become a much more long term and productive relationship too. Sorry for misinterpreting what you wrote.

There seems to be very little overhead involved in keeping this site running, and I assume the owner of the site gets payment upfront, so there shouldn't be an issue paying the answerers. I don't think the author of this site is going to be able to live off this site, but it should be good enough for gas money...
