Have you Evolved a lot trough theese years, and have this site helped you a lot?
I have evolved considerably through these years, obviously. Despite that, I have a LOT to learn.
I still make threads on here asking for advice.
I would say the main thing that I have learned over the years (95% through my own experience, 5% with help from this site) is that you need to find strength in yourself. This applies to life in general, not just females.
Through my life experience (I'm far from an expert on it, I'm only 22 after all), I have found that inner strength, self control, and honesty about yourself and others is extremely difficult. But there is nothing more rewarding than knowing you have stood up for yourself in a situation where it was so much less painful to take the "easy", yet less dignified way out.
In general, when I have female troubles, I go to this site so that people can give me harsh and unbiased criticism. Since I'm the one who's actually IN the situation, it's hard for me to make an objective and unbiased decision because my emotions are involved. The guys on these forums are usually right about the advice they give, from the standpoint of self-respect and standing up for yourself. It's important to take the opinions on the site with a grain of salt, though. Talk to non-AFC friends in real life. They know you, and all of the details of your situations, and they can usually make a better assessment.
