As is often the case. The assumption is that women love/like/are attracted to what ever it is you’re doing to attract them, otherwise, you wouldn’t be doing it, now would you?
I’ll vouch for the efficacy of this. anecdotally of course.
Male loneliness is a big discussion in itself.

You must have had at least 30 pounds on Fight Club Pitt…
I can understand why you would think this, if you live in a normal town.
I do not.
I frequent LA and what I have seen absolutely gives credence to the beliefs I have. Could it be confirmation bias? Sure.
But I have literally had a girl lock eyes with me, start making out with her BF, and then not break eye contact with me.
I was just lifting weights and they were in front of me. It was hard to do anything mid-set.
The girls out here are mostly hoes. Is that representative of the entirety of women? No. but it certainly is hard to ignore.

Young women are the demographic most susceptible to media. They take life cues from media. And media people know that!

Sex and The City had 0 influence on young women, so I heard.

I can certainly appreciate your perspective more now that you said this. I would definitely not base my conclusions about behavior on what I observe in LA anymore than I’d use Hollywood or Vegas or any number of other places not representative of, let’s call it, typical American behavior.
To use a different example, it would be like me judging every city because I’m intimately familiar with Baltimore City. While it does jade my perspective, I understand Charm City is not representative of most cities.
Ya, that’s pretty strange.
So did Seventeen Magazine and Helen Gurley Brown’s Cosmopolitan magazine.

What are a man’s responsibilities/expectations in marriage?

Well, we all know the usual that first come to mind, protection and provision.
Then there are all the other things that come with marriage:
emotional and moral support
dealing with in-laws
expenses
caring for children (which includes things that I don’t believe are “her job” exclusively)
chores, which for a man usually involves having the house in working order, either by fixing things oneself or paying for fixing.
I believe that if there are sons, nearly all parenting should fall on fathers after twelve years old.
Not required:
being a clown/entertainer
being a “challenge”
being peculiar or overly interesting in some way or another.

I’ve been out of the serious dating game for a few years, but I recently met a promising gal.
I’m thinking about asking her out to dinner and then finding a clever and well-timed way to tell her that she’s pretty.
Should I go with this approach, or are there more modern methods I should employ?

I think this is just a natural occurrence when the father is present. As one guy told me when my son was born- “You’re the biggest man in his world”, which is true in countless ways.
Like, I’m doing math homework with my kiddo right now. He thinks I’m a freakin math wizard, and really tries to do the same.

If you still work as a bouncer, the women most likely throw themselves at you. Or do I have this wrong?
Totally.
Good stuff!

Lol I haven’t been out past 11pm in years. My last shift was pre-pandemic.
I did not meet this gal through the bar scene.

That all seems pretty reasonable, though a ‘coffee date’ is often employed these days due to the rapid-fire dating scene. Girls don’t want to get roped into a 2-hour dinner with some dude they don’t know and guys don’t want to pay $150 for a dinner with a girl who might not like them.
But it sounds like you have already met her in person so some of that concern (on both sides) is already done away with. I still like the coffee date; it’s practical and tells both of you if a dinner date is a worthwhile investment.
A more down-to-earth touch to this would be coffee and walk around a park if the weather is favorable. Sometimes it helps conversation go a bit smoother.
When she says yes, just get her talking about herself on the date. Women are good at that.
