I am surprised no one mentioned the '50's-'60's mentality here...Women are not *chicks*, kind of makes me wonder if all the men I met here {on POF} are fans of this nutcase. I have never met so many cheapskates in my life as I did last year...One even made me pay for my own drink...When did men stop being gentlemen and start being class A jerks and cheapskates? I have several men overseas bugging me for cyber-I say no, and the local men are no longer datable. So I am back online, talking to some men who seem nice or nice/good for me, and seeing where it goes...I am still open to relocating, just have to see what happens first...

Well, I have heard of Tom Leykis but I never really knew what he was about. So, I decided to research a little, and this is what I came up with. In addition to the "men" on his website referring to women as "b!tches" (charming...) I found this:

We are in the hit-it and quit-it club. We don't have time to get to get to know you and figure out if you're one of the good ones. {again....charming}

* $40.00 Limit - Never spend then $40 no a date. >> {all righty...}

* 3 Dates Rule - Stop seeing the girl if you do not get laid after the third date. >>{Good riddance...}

* No Means No - If she says no then, STOP, get your stuff, and leave. >>
{not really bad advice. No does mean no, I agree}

* Single Mothers - Never date single mothers. >>
{Um, OK....}
* Tabasco Sauce - After having sex pour Tabasco sauce into the used condom. >>
{paranoid much?}
* Co-worker Relationships - Never date a co-worker. >>{Not bad advice}
* Approaching Women in Groups - Never approach a woman in a club that's surrounded by her girlfriends. >>
* Sex To Go - No spooning, cuddling, and or staying over after sex. >>{LOL, what a keeper...}
* Relationships - Do not get into a serious relationship before the age of 25. >>
{not bad advice, although to pick a certain age seems arbitrary}
* Weekend Dates - Do not go out on weekend dates unless you are guaranteed sex. >>
{Guaranteed sex? Seriously?}
* Cell Phone Dates - If your dates cell phone rings during the date then immediately leave. >>
* Women in Bars - Sit at a bar alone and do not talk to any women. >>
* After Hours Homely Pickings - The fugly women are the last one's to get picked up. >>{basically, wait around until the bars close so you can prey on the ugly girls. Lovely.}

* Birth Control - Regardless of what a woman says always use birth control. >>
{Excellent advice}
* No Gifts - No gifts are ever given to booty calls and women you are dating. >>
{We wouldn't be dating long, that is for sure...}
* Beverage Consumption - Buy Hard Alcohol over Beer. >>
{Must be so he can get the women drunk? Heh. I don't drink hard alcohol, and I don't get drunk. }
* Types of Dates - Avoid lunch and or coffee dates. >>
{Less chance of getting laid I am guessing}
* Jerks and ***holes - If women think you are a jerk, then your doing something right.
{right...all of us women want jerks and ***holes, right ladies?}>>
* Master Filibusters - Do directly from the bar the bedroom. >>
* Eating Before Dates - Have a hearty meal before a date. >>
* Marriage Contract - Never marry with out a prenuptial agreement. >>
* You Choose the date - You choose what to do on the date. >>
* Income and Women - The amount of income you have often determines the type of women you get. >>
* Male Friends - All her male friends want to have sex with her.
{Oh man....thanks for cluing me in!}
>>
* No Sex At Your House - Never bring a woman home for sex. >>
* No Compliments - Never compliment a woman. >>
* Easily Replaceable - Have her know that if she does not put out then you will get it else where. {That's fine, you are easily replaceable, too}
>>
* Holidays - Break up with your women during those money sucking holiday seasons.
{Right on...wouldn't want to spend any money on the b!tch}>>
* Change is not Inevitable - Do not change who you are just for a woman. >>{Good advice for men and women}
* Prepare your Identity - Be the doctor she wants or the million she's looking for. {Lie to a woman so you can get laid, but yet, DON'T CHANGE WHO YOU ARE! Huh?}
>>
* Power Before Kids and Marriage - Men have the most power before kids and a family. >>
* Paternity Test - Always get a paternity test no matter how sure you are that it is your child. >>{Good advice}
* No DNA Donation - Never help a women you have no intention of marring have kids. >>{Excellent advice}
* Women Are Dream Killers - They want to reach their dreams and stop yours. >>
{That's right. We sit around and plot how we can ruin the lives of the men we are dating. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA!}

* Ultimatum, Run - If a women gives you an ultimatum then run and don't look back. >>{I agree with this}
* Giving and Getting Phone Numbers - Give your number out to as many women as possible. >>{good idea, because once the vast majority of women find out what a jerk you are, you will need to move on to the next one}

My comments were in the brackets.

In summary, he does have some good points, about using birth control and what not. What I can't figure out is the paranoia. But, whatever. I can't imagine any woman with any self respect allowing herself to be treated this way. Whatever happened to mutual respect and treating each other with dignity? My BF spoils me rotten, but I also spoil him. Basically, Tom Leykis is trying to help the poor guys out there who are never getting laid, because this is all it is about. Hit it and quit it. What a charming sentiment.

This one was a personal favorite. Unfortunately, that little nugget will work VERY well on women with absolutely NO self-esteem. I'd be too busy laughing at him to be worried about it.
Seriously? According to some guys on this website, women can get it anytime we want and men have to beg. But Tom Leykis is saying it's the other way around.

As for the tabasco sauce in the condom...read the thread titled "I caught her inserting my used condom inside her"...that'll tell you where that paranoia might come from.

Yeah, I did see that thread. Personally I thought it was bogus, but in reality, things like that do happen I am sure.

I think if a man is really worried about that happening, flushing a condom would be a better idea. Either that or only sleep with women who he knows well and wouldn't purposely try to get pregnant, but well, we all know that won't happen.

I like Leykis. The guy's an old pro at radio and has tried many different shticks before he found this one - he was the guy that started the Cat Stevens record smashing back when his shtick was being a poor man's Rush Limbaugh. I don't think it's sincere, I think it just makes for entertaining radio. On the plus side, he does constantly tell his listeners not to date single mothers - nobody wants anyone who takes him seriously to date single moms because then the a***hole is messing with the mind of a woman who has kids depending on her. I give him kudos for that.

Can you explain what you mean by that. I've gotten the impression that you think he was *obliged* to pay for your meal & drinks.

While some of it, such as wearing a condom is just common sense, much of that suggests an attitude that will guarantee you a very long and lonely life.


Rule 0 is that women only think they know what they want. Empirical proof of this is that far more women initiate divorces than men.

A self-proclaimed "expert"? Tell me you guys aren't really that gullible, please.

It's weird to me.. that women get poked fun at (rightly) for using "rules", etc. So why then.. would men use "rules"?

We make fun of the rules you follow and set, not that you follow or set them ;) Huge difference.

Although I already HAVE rules, I don't need a radio personality to hand them down to me. I'm the god of my world and no one else ;) Or the keeper of my garden, I suppose. The chef of my kitchen? No no...The motherboard of my computer, there we go :D

I have my own rules, actually. There's not that many either. Bonus really, because they're easier to remember that way.

80% or so of his tenets are mere common sense, which in this day and age, people seem to lack... so I guess that's why he's so popular.

El Mariachi: I think that, like you say, 80% of his tenets are definitely just common sense. I think he threw the more shocking ones in there to get people to pay attention. And it worked.

Okay...I used to date before I was briefly married, maybe you will think I am spoiled, but back then when a man asked you out, he paid for the meal and a soft drink or tea.
I grew up in the days when a man paid for the date. I have not gone to any expensive places, I hardly think Denny's or a mall food court qualify as The Ritz....And as for the forty dollar rule, I have never been to an expensive place on a date...So I don't think two or three dollars for an iced tea is too much. But after last year, I'm beginning to think I must have been dating all Mr. Leykis' s fans...Oh well, it is a new year, so maybe I've learned a lesson. Thrifty is one thing, but cheap is cheap, and there's a world of difference between the two....Generosity, which can be more than financial, goes a long way if you really care for someone.

Tom Leykis is the greatest philosopher of all time. We are indeed privileged to be able to listen to him. It is all so true. Most women hate Leykis because what he says is so blatantly true. He analyzes women with clinical precision. I also have this feeling that while most women hate him, they admire him privately.

I also like him because he is an atheist. He does not have any dogmas, any superstitions and knows how to truly enjoy life. Most importantly, read between his lines. he is asking men to get more educated and not get into a quagmire at 20 with a wife and 4 kids where emancipation would cost vaginamony. Hence the prudent advice for using condoms.

A master observer, a natural sociologist and a speaker par excellence who makes for compelling listening, Tom's shows should be taped and spread worldwide. I believe that he should be the president of US someday. Needless to say, i am a huge fan of his.

i despise tom leykis.
he's not a symbol of manhood.
he's a symbol of how totally corrupt and wrong manhood can become.
and so long as thousands of guys rally together and pat each other on the backs for disrespecting women they can pretend their myopic view of womanhood is okay.
i know i'm the minority, the guy that tom leykis would say is stupid for loving women and trying to honor womanhood.
i used to listen to his show all the time with a sister of mine, she loved it and thought it was funny, and did the flash friday thing, all the time.
still, while listening to the show, i could call bullshit on 95% of what tom leykis says.
all he does is teach men the art of being a bad lover.
it damages a man's ability to enjoy sex & love if he upholds the ideals that tom leykis sets forth. and it damages a woman's too.
it reduces sex and dating to the point where it's more like a filthy dirty war on flesh, rather than something tender, personal, unique, and beautiful.
he wants to minimize the art of mating to a science of hooking up a home theater system.
because that's the only way he'll ever have any chance of being good at it, lol
...in my humble opinion.
i can't think of anything more disgraceful than his attitude toward sex & dating.
it's like peer pressure for men over the airwaves- DISRESPECT WOMEN OR YOU AREN'T A MAN. you can't be cool if you get walked upon by women for respecting them.

sure it's true maybe you won't get a lot of luck or respect from women when you adore them and treat them right, because of their conditioning.
but just because our behaviors of mating rituals are dysfunctional in our society, doesn't mean to oblige the wanton manipulation of what is right and what is wrong-
or put simply, just because respecting woman might not work for "the game of getting laid" that's no reason to sell off your own self-worth and integrity just because everybody else seems to demand that.

Of course women don't like him. None have ever been able to win him in a debate. Tom's daily job is to put women that call in from "i am a godess land" into there real place. He does this every single day and i love it. He makes women that call in thinking there a goddess, look really dumb it's great. He highlights just how irrational and illogical women are. One way he does this is indirectly when he points out that even the women that think they are god's gift to the universe, or just "independent" women LOVE him for his so called "women bashing" He does a great job of showing this illogic and nature of women.

Great point...I think a lot of women are worried that Leykis is letting the cat out of the bag.
I don't like some of his points, only because they encourage men to treat ALL women like crap, but how can anyone argue with most of his advice? He's right.
If people (both men and women) paid more attention to what they're doing, there would be a lot less single parents, kids who don't see one of their parents, kids from "broken homes", abuse, neglect, misuse of the court system, AIDS, herpes, etc.
He is simply telling men to think before they move too quickly with someone...not a bad bit of advice at all.


He makes women that call in thinking there a goddess, look really dumb
I hate when women have the "goddess" attitude. They usually think this entitles them to everything and they can treat people like crap. I think these are the types that NEED to be put in their place. They sometimes need little reminders that they are no better than anyone else.

I think this is one of the cornerstones of Leykis' message.... that disgusting sense of entitlement that so many women have.

Until I ran into Leykis, I thought I was one of the few who had had such crappy experiences with women. He was able to articulate a lot of what I felt. I don't always agree with him and sometimes he's way over the top, but he is really blatantly honest and there is a lot of truth in his message.

No matter what you feel about the guy, you can't deny that he's entertaining.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but you can listen to him on the web.

women are goddess avatars

if they have egotistical attitudes about it then they are false goddess figures

but some women do truly harbor or contain the holy goddess in their hearts, in their frames

and in my opinion, real men understand the Goddess and know how to communicate with her, through women who are open to channelling or housing that spirit.

and when i meet new women, if they don't have the prowess to activate the Goddess within their gross vehicals(their bodyminds) then i usually break up with them
because being a Goddess avatar is simply a matter of a woman honoring Womanhood, and being honest with the her own physical geometries.

it's always disturbing to me when people don't acknowledge the amazing miracle that takes place inside of the womb in order for each one of us to be born.

the vulgar mind of a savage will try to contemplate the science of pregnancy, and try to rationalize it in his mind, or try to figure out what's truly happening, and not see anything special at all.
which seems odd because even our modern high tech science doesn't have all the answers as to exactly how an embryo forms so perfectly the way it does
like magic

that's why i say, if you just become honest with your own self and your reproductive organs, and you try to be interested in the life-cycle
you'll find it's an utterly amazing thing, that should be studied and respected more than mathematics, more than language, more than history, more than anything.
in school they teach sex education for one week, because parents are too dysfunctional to even talk about it with their own children.
what a disgrace.

Womanhood is a miracle, and anybody who doesn't respect it (including women)
they are ignoring the most wonderful thing in the entire universe.
and that means they are ignorant.
ignoring=ignorant.

but, i think mankind isn't here to be all knowing and wise, ignorance is okay.
that is why some women actually prefer ignorant guys.
and there are few men fitted to complete the God/Goddess complex.
for a reason, because the God/Goddess like being rare and special, and in so many words- better than everybody else.
lol

Wow.

I kinda get the feeling that you actually believe this. I'm not knocking it, but it sure seems like a one-sided, myopic view of how things are.

... and, so, men fit into this belief system how, exactly? We don't provide anything to this miracle?

And, Leykis fits into this how?

Leykis 101 are the public rules for men, about what women do quietly: serial dating.
Hail Mary is a term of the dating world. For men: abortion. For women: pay child support.
Im not sure if Goddess/Womanhood is online language for 'berer dan-u'.

Tom Leykis is not a misogynist. He is just a very good observer of female behavior. In today's increasingly feminist world, certain norms are cropping up which are highly irrational and work towards the emasculation of men. As an example, read the comments on this post by Jane Mcmanus and the following comments. Mcnamus makes some accusations, but is unable to answer the questions asked in the comments.

http://tennis.lohudblogs.com/author/jmcmanus/

The view perpetrated by today's media is that men are the root of all evil. If you are a true man, you have to cowtow and behave like a trained German Shepard possessed by your female companion (eat when you have to eat, have sex only when you are told to have sex). Only then will people say, "hes such a sweet guy." And the reason for all divorces and breakups are inevitably due to the males. What Leykis does is shatter this myth with a wrecking ball.

Remember, his main population of scrutiny is the Western female. Say if he had applied his hypothesis to say oppressed women in say Talibanised Afghanistan, he would surely have been wrong. But when he says women are like this, he is talking about empowered and liberated Western women, who have the rule of the law behind them. With equality of gender comes great power. And along with it comes responsibility. What Leykis is asking his male listeners is to think before they take any action, use their head before their impulses. As he says, 30 seconds of orgasm is not worth 216 monthly payments. It is better to be sure rather than be sorry.

Tom Leykis often says that hes not a right wing wacko. I believe that he is actually a libertarian. Viewed from a libertarian viewpoint, his main 3 101's make a lot of sense.

1> "Never spend more than 40$ on a date". Remember this is by LA standards and hence that high. Makes immense sense.

2> Must get laid by 3rd date. Again, most men want to get laid. What Leykis is saying is that instead of wasting your time and investment on something which is not paying dividends, move on to greener pastures. Anything else would be tantamount to abnormal behavior as you are simply deluding yourself by thinking yourself as her friend and waiting while your basic instinct is still to get in her pants. Again this is a very libertarian thing. By moving away, you are not hurting anyone. You are simply exercising you own right to move away. You are not coercing someone, but just firmly backing your intentions and preferences.

3> "No Means No - If she says no then, STOP, get your stuff, and leave." Then what , rape her? if this does not make sense, what does? Or should you go down on your knees and beg her?

He does not discount love. He simply says that what most young people construe as love is actually lust. This is so true. Why do so many marriages by 20 year olds break up?
Before 25, guys think with their diks and seldom with their heads. He is doing a big social service by imparting words of prudence to them. he also advocates self advancement and moving towards accomplishing your goals. Is that bad? Would anyone disagree that a single , no strings attached 20 year old male has a batter chance of getting thru college than a corresponding dad of 2 kids? Add to this the severance costs and the baggage and the trauma.

What he insists men is not to put up with impositions and self proclaimed superiority on the part of females. "Do this and ull have sex", "Marry me and ull get this", "Im warning you....if you dont give me this, ill kick your ass"; when these things come into the picture, the relationship arena makes a transition from sepia tinted rose garden to a battlefield. "Its a war out there", as he said to one female caller once. Even here, hes not asking you to fight. But just move away. Only cuckolded, henpecked and uxorious men will still continue. Anyone with self respect wont. There is nothing wrong in advocating this. If you ask to be put on a pedestal, behave like one. Otherwise fuk off.

Hes also exposed many subtle feminine games of manipulation, con and deceit with the prescience of a forecaster, precision of a surgeon and with perspicacious insight backed by first hand experience. Why do you think many 19 year old profiles say, "dont waste your time on me", while the same profiles at 30 become "tired of the games, are there any nice guys left who are ready to settle down?" Leykis says that do things like you want to do. If dating is a business, then behave like a shrewd businessman. Hence his advices for getting laid and stuff. Otherwise one suffers. That might sound clinical and unromantic, but then the modern world is quite merciless and spares none for mistakes, be it a male or a female.
