It's certainly true, but not really the problem in this odd little relationship.

Don't offer your resume, your earning potential, and tell us how you'll change our lives the first time we meet you. Instead of talking about yourself the whole night, ask questions! Don't come on too strong right away. Let us figure out if we want to be with you, instead of telling us we do.
Not a problem, I'm like Gregory Peck in "Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N." anyway. No, not a good captain on a ship, watch the movie and you'll know what I mean *coughcough*
2. Men Don't Listen to Us When We're Talking.
We notice if you stop listening to us, if you ask us questions we just answered, or if you keep interrupting us when we're opening up. This drives most women nuts! Unless you're on call, don't check your Blackberry at dinner and don't check out other women.
gFocus on the woman across the table from you and listen to what she has to say.h

I only listen to people I find interesting, no matter whether they're male or female. Then again... I wouldn't be doing this date-thing if she wasn't interesting, now would I?
3. Men Aren't Chivalrous.
The lines here are not always clear. We want you to treat us like equals, but we also want you to treat us like women. It's nice when a man picks up the tab or makes sure his date gets home safely. It may be old-fashioned, but a number of women report that dating a gentleman matters.
Well, I'm not going to change more than 30 years of trained behavior for one evening *barks*
4. Men Don't Take Initiative.
Men, how many times have you caught yourself saying, "I don't know" or "Whatever you'd like" when planning a date? If you've asked a woman out, a better approach is to give a few fun and creative date options and ask her to pick one.
Initiative doesn't mean ordering for a woman at a restaurant or ordering a woman around! It does mean confidently approaching your date with ideas, passion and interest. It also means you can be flirty and forward, letting her know how amazing you think she looks or how much you want to kiss her.
Initiative means ordering the waiter around :P
5. Men Say They'll Call and Then Don't.
Women do that, too.
