"just be yourself"

nah nah nah, that doesnt work, you have to dole out your crazy in small amounts so as not to scare them off and to keep them from flooding you with their crazy
No, just be a cooler version of yourself.

At least thats what my friend told me. But my friend also has poor judgement. So act on it if you wish, I'm not responsible for any broken hearts.

That also pisses me off.

Love =/= sex

Fast track to rejection 90% of the time.
Damn ninja.

Yeah, this.

Girls (and I mean "girls" not women) don't like sensitive guys. They either think they're pussies or just stick them in the friend zone and by "them" I mean me.
unfrotunatly, this is almost true. most girls look at unsensitive guys (and again, girls not women) and feel like they can make them sensative. if you want to keep the girls attention, find a balance where you give her some hope of changing you. but yeah, if your sensative your a pussy.

Yes, lots of "girls" like to fix people and since the sensitive kid typically needs no fixing, they won't even give them a chance.

How come single people that has never been in a relationship always insist on giving advice? I don't care how much they THINK they know from watching anime and porn, they have NO experience! It's like having a guy that plays "Tom Clancy's H.A.W.K.S" teach a trained pilot how to fly an aircraft...

...and people still wonder why I don't have many female friends my own age =p. Teenage girls are complete assholes, to be frank. I cannot see why any guy would want to try and date ANY of us (I'm sure I'm a proper asshole at times too), but then again I guess this "second brain" you enjoy talking about so much makes avoiding it impossible...

"You should ask her out, of course she likes you," She's a drinker with severe mental issues, I'm rational and had just come out of a social-coma of a deep depression. I was still feeling around, I didn't understand the "friend zone," and everyone said this. Friends and family.

Didn't fucking end well. But I learned not to trust people who had my best interest at heart. :)

Not all of them. I was always friends with the girls and (while they either had no romantic interest in me or thought I was gay) were all very sweet and the best friends I ever had.

Sure, they dated the typical assholes like every other teenage girl seems hellbent on doing, but that doesn't make them assholes.

Me too, but its a thankless task.

Worst advice given to me was "ignore women - it makes them interested in you". Even if this theory was correct, it basically means you have to talk nonestop to girls you don't like/aren't interested in just to keep them at arm's length.

I tried this one out recently (for the sake of experimentation) on a charming young lady I liked. Unfortunately, it completely failed. She was probably uninterested (and thought I was too). Meanwhile her ugly, awkward, albeit friendly, compadres all took a shine to me for being so attentive/listening to them yak. I know I am coming across as shallow, especially as I consider these ladies as friends, but I really could do with them not trying to hug me or offer me anything. They happen to be astonishingly ugly. Worst case scenario, charming girl might try to set me up with one of these women.

Looks like I'll just have to resort to the old trick of clubbing women and dragging them by their hair back to my cave.

"When in doubt, whip it out!"

...Yeah... Don't take advice from someone who frequents the asshole of the internet.

Here's some good advice:
If you see a group of good looking girls, and there's a random guy who looks like he could be knocked unconscious with a single punch, punch him, then ????, and finally profit.

I've actually noticed that people with experience failing at relationships all go through the same motions and assume themselves experts, while when I start thinking it's a stupid idea to be dating so and so that they generally tend to explode. Granted, I don't mess with middle ground, but I also generally don't care. The explosion could be interesting.

Yah, I'm narrow-minded though. So I automatically assume someone dating an asshole is either also an asshole, or just stupid.

I've dated an asshole before (I didn't know he was one before it was too late...), so that will put me in the stupid category as I don't think I'm that much of an asshole. I'm sure I'm an asshole too though, but not all the time XD.

I'm sure there are loads of nice girls around. But knowing girls in general, I'd rather have male friends. I just pretend none of them have any sexual interest in me, and we're all good XD. (I'm flattering myself, I know)

I have managed to get some good advice from people in failed relationships. One was "don't date 16 year olds when you're five years older or more". True voice of experience he was. We've called him Paedophile Paul ever since.

Not given to me, but treating her as an inferior. The crazier (but surprisingly large) end of the men's rights movement is a goddamn goldmine of bad dating advice involving subjugating or mistreating her.

"Nah, there's NO WAY she likes you... she's so far out of your league."

Fast forward three months, and it turns out now only was this piece of advice wrong, the self-serving bastard went and asked her out himself. Bastard.
