I think we, girls/women can do better than surrender! And why is it geared towards women and not both men and women!
Looks like the advice is very old fashioned. Probably still applies to some men and women, but it's certainly silly to stereotype any gender like that. I think men are often afraid of commitment, but that doesn't mean women have to put up with that. I once knew a couple who had been dating for around five years. If I was the woman in that relationship I wouldn't have waited around that long. At least I would've asked him to marry me, but some (most?) women act old fashioned and wait for the men to ask them. Last I checked this isn't 1953.

Sound like a plan.
