Giving advice to my brother... what to tell him?

[Fuglydude]

Hey all,

My brother is 17 years old (gonna be a senior in high school), still lives at home, doesn't have a driver's license or a cell phone. He's at the stage right now where he's trying to get some action. He says he's relatively popular at school. He's a pretty athletic and doesn't seem to have issues meeting girls.

He's always asking me for advice on how to close the deal with chics. I'm not sure what to tell him as he's at a severe disadvantage because he's still living at home, can't drive, etc. I've always told him to focus on improving himself. In my experience, if you're attractive and confident you really shouldn't have problems getting women.

I think I'm gonna refer him to the DJ bible and some of the other resources available on this site.

Any other suggestions on how to advise him?

Is it abnormal for 17-year-olds to still be living at home in Canada?

In America, kids aren't considered grown until they're at least 18 and graduated from high school. Moving out at 17 is almost unheard of.

Not abnormal by any means. I didn't move out til I was 21. I just don't know how to advise him because our situations are so different right now.

I didn't really start getting laid regularly til I moved out.

I think it would be easier to advise him on situation by situation.

Is he asking for advice "in general"?

If so, you are saying the right things. And refer him to the DJ Bible. Just tell him not to get caught up in the SS Matrix.
