Dear CNN:
Repeat after me: Women are not a reward for good behavior. Women are not a reward for good behavior. Women are not a reward for good behavior.
And being a "nice guy"—defined here as someone who "puts a girl's [sic] demands first," "puts women on a pedestal," and "gives [them] thoughtful gifts," all in the interest of getting sex—isn't being "nice." He's being manipulative. And pathetic.
Sincerely,
Erica C. Barnett
P.S. Next time you write a story about "what women really want," maybe consider including the perspectives of, I dunno, some actual women?
