Well one point that Solomon (the writer of Proverbs) has made clear in the first 7 chapters in that man's weakness in women. Coming from someone who had hundreds of wives, he's definitely speaking from experience. In Chapter 7 again he warns us to be aware of the woman who seduces. Verse 5 "That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words." I laughed in verse 7 when she encountered the "young man devoid of understanding" . Poor thing has no idea what's about to happen to him. Verses 21 and 22 " With her enticing speech she caused him to yield. With her flattering lips she seduced him. Immediately he went after her as a ox goes to slaughter."
Does Solomon hate women? Obviously not he surrounded himself with them. But he sure doesn't want his son to make the same mistakes he made. When I teach relationship classes in middle and high schools, I always warn them to beware of "The Game". The one where girls use sex to get love and guys use love to get sex. No one really wins that one because it usually turns into an unhealthy relationship.
Verse 26 "For she has cast down many wounded. And all who were slain by her were strong men." lol I've seen it a hundred times.
