This is the operative quotation in this discussion so far. When I was in college, I (and everyone else I knew both male and female) totally bought this. We bought it and played by the rules and complained or reveled in its self-fulfilling predictions. It's tempting and, in the fubar'd college dating scene, it makes an unfortunate amount of sense in both directions.
Then we grew up, and, for most of us, it just kind of went away. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
