Dating Advice
for Men
When it comes to dating advice, it is amazing what people fall
for when they are desperate. Anyone who has looked at all of the scams on the
Internet offering guaranteed success in business for just a small investment
probably knows exactly what I'm talking about. People get crazy about money, and
they do stupid things when they should know better.
As insane as people
get over money, however, they get even crazier over romance. People get dating
advice from anyone. People get dating tips from psychics, from friends who have
had little relationship success, and from so-called experts with no professional
credentials. From Dr. Phil to the palm reader down at the county fair, the world
of dating advice is filled with quacks. Although sometimes these people give
good advice on dating, you are always taking a risk when you listen to them. Is
it worth the risk?
I used to get relationship advice from a good friend
of mine. He presented himself as a real ladies man, but the reality was much
different. He got a lot of dates with a lot of different girls it was true, but
part of the reason was because none of them wanted to stay with him for more
than a date or two. We thought he was such a stud at the time that we listened
to his dating advice, but it was always terrible. All of his relationship tips
inevitably failed. Sure, his dating advice could help us to find a date. He
would help us get our relationship profile in order for online dating services,
or practice that perfect pickup line. He would not, however, help us make our
relationships last.
When you get dating advice from someone, it is
important that you first know a little bit about their personal life. I am not
saying that someone who doesn't have a good relationship history can't give good
dating advice, but I am saying that it should make you wonder. There are some
people who can tell you the right thing to do but can't do it themselves, but
for every one of them there are at least five who tell it just exactly like they
do it. The bottom line is that you should not trust someone for dating advice
just because of their so-called expertise. Instead, find a friend who has had at
least one very stable relationship and has very good powers of self perception.
Get your dating advice from him.
