I wish young men would read stuff like this Simon, not PUA or Red Pill folks. I like how you reiterate several points such as not making generalizations. The main one I'd recommend any young guys do is to not stew in silence or opt to not say anything.

Men need to learn to use 'I statements,' as opposed to 'you statements.' Be willing to listen to her complaint, and don't bring up your compliant as she's airing her grievances. Don't react to her verbalizations. Then separately, air yours. If she isn't open to hearing it or dismisses it... take note.

I have been in relationship with women who constantly complain or analyze relationships (not just the current romantic one). It gets exhausting. Do you want to be with that? Short answer for me ended up being no. While I was initially drawn to the sharing and knowing, it was one sided. Frequently, there just wasn't availability for me.
