The Community Guide Behind “How to Make a Woman Like You”
This is a fan-written Steam community guide — a translated Russian meme/parody — that answers the question in a deliberately gaming-flavored, tongue-in-cheek way. None of it is official advice and it should not be taken literally, but it is a self-contained three-step routine. Below is what the guide actually says, step by step, plus the running joke that ties it together: parrying.
Note on reliability: Everything here is community-reported content from a player-made guide, not confirmed or sanctioned advice from any developer or platform. Treat the “steps” as humor with a gaming theme.
Step 1 — Figure Out Your “Orientation” From Your Profile
The guide opens by telling you to go to your own profile and look at which gender shows up more in the games you own. Depending on the picture you see, it jokes that you are either:
- “Homosexual — you only need men and beer,” or
- A “gigachad,” or at least heterosexual.
This is the guide’s comedic framing, not a real method for anything. The point of “Step 1” is purely a joke built on reading your game library.
Step 2 — Where to “Find a Girl”
The second step tells you to go outside. Once you’re out there, you might run into what the guide calls “creeps” — and it says not to be afraid. Women, it claims, look a certain way (shown in its own screenshot, embedded below), and the guide adds a dry “don’t thank me.”
The instruction then is to “fly up to her and say something” — you might succeed. The guide throws in one more joke criterion: if you have around 100 games or more in your library, you are supposedly “close to success.” That threshold is community-reported and completely arbitrary — it is part of the gag, not a real requirement.
Step 3 — The “Parry Test,” Then Marry
The third and final step is where the running fighting-game joke lands. After you “get the one you want,” the guide says to check whether she can parry hits. If she can, the guide concludes: take her as your wife and live happily ever after.
That single condition — a parry check — is the punchline of the whole guide. Commenters then riff on it endlessly (see below), which is really what made the guide popular.
Community Reactions to the Guide
The comment section is where the guide’s reputation actually lives, and it doubles as a set of “user tips.” Most replies are built on the same parry/relationship pun:
- “I parried the relationship — solid.” (a play on the parry mechanic being applied to dating)
- “I got parried.” (the losing side of that joke)
- “What if she’s also an esports player?” (pushing the gaming metaphor further)
- “I’ll go show this to my husband.” (subverting the guide’s premise)
- “Hello, Karen 👋” and “casul” (mock casual greeting / calling it casual)
- “That was informative” and a “11” rating — both used as ironic praise.
- One commenter notes they “only play on Venik and look for a woman in church,” jokingly complaining the author didn’t cover that case.
The takeaway from the thread: nobody treats the guide as real advice. It works as a meme because the parry gimmick is repeated consistently — so if you’re reading it for fun, the “recipient” being able to parry is the detail the community latched onto.
Quick Recap for Readers Who Just Want the Steps
- Open your profile and let the guide tell you your “orientation” — humor only.
- Go outside, don’t fear the “creeps,” find the girl, fly up and talk to her (100+ games = your “close to success” brag).
- Run the “parry test”; if she can parry, the guide says marry her.
Remember: this is a community-reported meme guide, not official information, and the “conditions” it lists are jokes rather than real criteria.
