Why would that be something that pisses you off about modern feminism? Plenty of feminists claim that the conditions you speak of are themselves part of the patriarchy, because patriarchy places unreasonable assumptions and expectations on men just as much as it does women. The whole point is that a lot of women don't *want* to be coddled by staying at home and raising kids. There is plenty of feminist literature discussing these issues out there, if you care to look instead of just relying on feminism's representations in the media.
My understanding is that this sometimes isn't true, especially if we're measuring "mysteriousness" by how much sex a woman's had. I've seen too much slut-shaming to assume that a good percentage of men don't care. By a similar token, it's also a shame because to me mysteriousness also implies intelligence and self-confidence. Women like it when men display authentic and/or positively-valenced confidence (in other words, negging is horrible, and we can smell insecurity from a mile away). Sometimes good-natured teasing and cockiness works, as was mentioned earlier in the thread - playful verbal sparring is one of the most fun things about flirtation to me.A man simply does not care whether a woman is mysterious; that's a female hang up.
This is generally wrong. I'm sure emotionally well-adjusted women would prefer the confident man over the $#@! every single time. The problem is when, as in your case, men can't differentiate between the two.Being an $#@!, treating the ladies badly is one of the things that women like.
