i understand the purpose of these lists, to help guys who are just so clueless or stay inside so much that they don't already know these things, but one of the fundamental problems is that someone who is already interested in this list is already focused on the outcome (getting a gf), so they're doomed to fail before they've even started (8th point on your list).

​

At its core, this list is about being a better person for its own sake. It's meaningless to those who need it, since they are already focused on doing it for a endgoal, and it's meaningless to those who don't need it, since they already have the proper mindset about being a better person.

​

Again, I understand the hypothetical usefulness of these lists, but it breaks down completely before any useful translation to reality for anyone
