Haha. Her advice to men? That's not advice, that's almost 'what not to do'.
Maybe one of the most relevant messages from these books, for modern audiences, is that since we can speak up and ask for what we want, without as many gender and class restrictions as Austen's characters had, we should.
I think Austen was aware of the absurdity of all that, even in her own time, because so much of the heartache in her books comes from a lack of communication between two people who love each other but can't or won't say so for one reason or another.
