feminine women don't realize that the more power they have in their relations with men, the less attractive the men become.

The irony behind "Girl-Game" is that it makes the girl more likely to be single.
She'll end up screening out good alpha males who weren't interested in playing games with her, so she'll just be stuck with betas following her flaky ass around.
There was a Reddit thread on this Cosmo piece, and I said the two things above - the only men, if any, she will get through such disrespectful tactics are low value men, who bend easily to her will. As they submit to her whims, she grows contemptuous of them.
As for the 'girl-game' negs, yeah, they're terrible. There's no charm, wit or subtlety about it, and it's usually something grossly disrespectful- like insinuating he is a homosexual. That's like rolling up to a girl and saying, "haha, you have a big ugly nose!"
Feminism has an interesting role here. It's not the doctrinaire feminists, the Andrea Dworkins, who promote this shit. It's what happens when you feed pop feminism to your average woman, who already has a penchant for manipulation extending back millenia. You tell her that men want the same things from a mate that she does, that men want a woman who seems powerful and in demand, and Gurl Power! And all that gets turned into this toxic girl game.
Like someone else said, this sort of 'advice' is not new. It seems like with people spending more time out of relationships nowadays and having less defined social circles, girls are getting hit on more by guys. So they resort to 'tactics' to manage things.
I've been wanting to write a thread for a little while about the necessity of just unplugging from all this bullshit. Basically starve the beast by pirating mainstream, misandric media or better not consuming it at all, and refraining from name brand products dependent on advertising - you can usually find a better substitute from a smaller company that cares more about its customers, if you do a little research.
