One Rule to bind them all

It comes to my understanding that one of the "Rules" is: Let him take the lead. Two comments: one, I know for a fact that this is a bad strategy when it comes to me, and will probably backfire on many single men. Second, doesn't this sound like a Rule written by a woman who wants as many men freed up for her as possible? It's the plan of an evil genius: sabotaging tons of blossoming relationships so you can have the pick of the litter!
