A man who calls himself a personal trainer, dancer, writer and motivational speaker has incited the wrath of men and women across the internet by tweeting a list of 12 ways to be a beautiful woman — including “be thin,” “be able to cook,” “shave,” “wear pink” and “listen to men.”

Alexander J.A. Cortes has developed a reputation as a misogynist with his frequently scathing and condescending Twitter critiques of women, as well as his guidelines to help other men “vet women” and to help women attract “masculine men.” The 29-year-old has also tweeted, “Remember, only a man can tell a woman how to act.”

Though Cortes has been offending people on social media for quite some time with his blunt opinions and controversial advice, it was his list titled “How to be a Beautiful Woman” that took Twitter by storm on Thursday. And it’s been a two-sided argument, with the long-haired former ballet dancer clapping back at people who challenge his views.

His advice regarding the naysayers is arguably even more harsh than his original tweet, calling women who are angered by his list “harpies that you never want to breed with” and saying they’d be “terrible mothers.”

You can use this list to vet women If you show them this list and they become angry, that lets you know that they are harpies that you never want to breed with and that they would be terrible mothers stay woke kings — Alexander J.A Cortes (@AJA_Cortes) February 21, 2019

Cortes continued to double down on his advice by suggesting that the women who rejected it simply have “excess bodyfat” that is causing “hormonal fluctuations that make you emotional.”

And I completely forgot to add “Loves to smile” A smile makes you beautiful Don’t ever forget it There’s few things more repugnant than resting bitch face Let the light shine through (assuming you have any) — Alexander J.A Cortes (@AJA_Cortes) February 21, 2019

If you’re angry, it might be because your excess bodyfat is causing hormonal fluctuations that make you emotional You can fix this by working out and going to the gym and unfatting Yourself Fit women are pretty women https://t.co/R3BCeSa72l — Alexander J.A Cortes (@AJA_Cortes) February 21, 2019

He even posted a selfie he was convinced would make him irresistible to women who criticized him.

I see a lot of you women are desperate for my validation and attention Here’s a selfie that you can use to satisfy your fantasies pic.twitter.com/7W9qSmYP9P — Alexander J.A Cortes (@AJA_Cortes) February 21, 2019

Thousands of Twitter users have shared the post — and many are conflicted about whether Cortes’s account is meant as a parody or some kind of marketing scheme to get people to sign up for his newsletter. But most who flooded the comments section seem to think the man is completely earnest and genuine, and they’re not holding back on what they think about him and his “incredibly sexist” mentality.

Mr Cortes. You look like the kind of guy I'd cross the street to avoid. I have good instincts. I just went and gave my husband a great big kiss for not being you. PS Your hair looks like crap. Take the Red Pill. Go down the douche bag hole. Don't come back. — Linda M Smith (@linleahme) February 25, 2019

You are an incredibly sexist man who is too opinionated over how women should be I would imagine you like to control women and I find your arrogance insulting to women my husband appreciates me for who I am

And not how I look. That’s love — dawn bown (@dawnbrown04) February 24, 2019

Wouldn't touch you with a 100 foot bargepole mate and with a paperbag over your head. By the way I am mother to a wonderful son who I'm so proud of for what he has achieved. — Stephanie Harrison (@stephan19573) February 24, 2019

convenient, because I'm using this list to vet men; any dude who thinks a woman needs to follow all of this to the letter in order for him to pay her any mind isn't a man I care to bother with. Thank GOD you don't wanna "breed" with "harpies" like me. Feeling's mutual! 😉 — 💙Lizardbeth💙 (@LizardbethArt) February 25, 2019

Real men love strong women who recognize this hollow sadness as absolute garbage. But good luck with that, bro. — Steve Blum (@blumspew) February 23, 2019

This guys mother failed him horribly. — none the wiser (@WserNone) February 24, 2019

Others took a stab at revising Cortes’s controversial list, coming up with their own tips for being and finding a beautiful woman — or for being an attractive man.

Cortes continued to respond to the backlash by dismissing the women who argued against his philosophy — even though men were also expressing outrage. He ignored the male critics and continued to heap advice on the “gentlemen” who would listen, warning them that women who don’t believe in wearing pink and obeying men are victims of “delusional feminism.”

Pay attention to all the women that react adversely to this thread Gentlemen What you'll observe here is the peak of Delusional feminism, women who believe that simply because they exist, they are "valuable" despite being bitchy & horrifying More redflags than a Chinese parade — Alexander J.A Cortes (@AJA_Cortes) February 22, 2019

The newsletter Cortes promotes promises to help “optimize your workouts, diet, mentality — and your life.” He tells women to contact him “to learn how to be beautiful.”
