The "Cool Girl" Myth

I just finished reading "Gone Girl" (no spoilers in this thread) and I was curious what people think of this passage about the "cool girl" myth:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Gone Girl Men always say that as the defining compliment, don't they? She's a Cool Girl. Being the Cool Girl means a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she's hosting the world's biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girl is above all hot. Hot and understanding... Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they're fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl...I used to see men - friends, coworkers, strangers - giddy over these awful pretender women, and I'd want to sit these men down and calmly say: 'You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who'd like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them.' And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They're not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they're pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be.

Rings true to me. And the author is a woman so it must be true, right?
