It goes on in the same vein. The woman who composed the list often writes about robots but doesn’t seem to be a robot herself in spite of her poor grasp of human nature.
In my dating life, I’ve met men who made enormous efforts with candles, elaborately cooked meals, and turntables. And I fell madly in love with a dude who wouldn’t be able to decipher the phrase “buy candles” or consider the uses of hand towels. If it’s meant to be, you don’t really need to try so hard. To the contrary, trying too hard is not very appealing.
Really, the only conclusion N would draw from the suggestion to buy candles is that this is a preparation for electricity outages.
I can’t imagine experiencing the birth of attraction because a man has a throw blanket. I don’t even think I know any men who buy throw blankets for their own use.
If you have to make efforts to convince somebody to want you, that’s not the person for you, is my advice. For somebody who is really into you, your bare walls and diluted liquid soap would be majestically appealing.

“Dating Advice”
No one asked but my three bits of (very general) advice for young normie men.
one- work out – don’t go crazy and try to get swole or try for the super cut bodybuilder look… but do get some muscle mass – your shoulders should be broader than your waist and your upper arms should be bigger than your lower arms
two- learn to dance – especially basic ballroom dancing with a partner
three- learn how to carry on a conversation, learn how to ask questions and how to listen and then respond in a pleasant manner, be informed so that you can contribute to conversations, learn how to bring up topics that other people like talking about.
Those three things will put you in the top ten percent or so of eligible normie guys.
Still be yourself. Don’t try to erase all your rough edges. Still be able to lecture someone for a half hour on the evolution of the Transformers franchise or the percentage of successful field goal attempts in the NFL over the last 40 years or whatever other male fixation you have but be able to talk about other things as well and only drag out the big guns about the cheat codes on video games for someone who shares that interest.

It’s not a *bad* idea to have clean hand-towels though.
Just… the lady should maybe not be at your house at all, until you’ve gotten to know each other well enough that hand-towels will not be important.

Lovely matter-of-fact and down-to-earth advice from Cliff and Methylethyl, as I’ve learned to expect. I, on the other hand, tend to be on the impractical side…
