At the same time, you have to be very careful not to be a people please. You'll get walked all over and be a dog chasing his tail.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Why did I know, before reading this thread, that the very first post about bad advice would come from Mom?
Although I find it a bit disturbing that your mom would talk about money instead of feelings. Mine told me to always be emotional, because girls would love that... yours told you to get yourself a gold digger.

Let me guess, mom as well.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

11. "Text her after the first date to tell her that you had a nice time."
I never got a second date when I did this.
12. "8MB of RAM is more than anyone will ever need."
That's what the guy at the electronics store told me in 1994 when I bought a computer.
13. "Your car insurance goes down after you turn 25."
I'm 40 with no accidents and still pay through the azz.
14. "She likes you. She's just playing hard to get."
She's not interested.
15. "She doesn't know what she wants."
It's clear what she doesn't want.
16. "Don't eat before coming to this party/dinner at our house. We're gonna have tons of food."
You'll arrive starving and nothing will be ready for at least two hours. Everybody else will be too drunk to notice or care. ALWAYS eat before going to a party or dinner at somebody's house.

Reality: We're looking for tackling dummies for our starters to run over.
Ex-girlfriend, "You should buy this house because it has a huge pool in the backyard."
Reality: You will be out there every weekend cleaning and balancing out chemicals. If a part breaks you will spend a small fortune getting it fixed. It will be a hole that you endlessly throw money into.
My Mom, "Beauty is only skin deep"
Reality : Ugly is to the bone.

I agree with Dust muffin that you can't oddjob your way into *****. But once you're tapping it on the regular I've never worked out how to avoid the boyfriend tax. On the plus side I've learnt a lot about fixing houses
Haha it's funny how this one is usually only heard from 40+ women. You never hear any men saying it...

^This. Pools are a full-time job and a big expense. Can't agree more

No advice that was necessarily given to me personally, but bad advice that is often given in general:
1. Just be yourself (i.e. do not pursue self-improvement)
2. Good things come to those who wait

Here's my pep talk from my trainer right before my first fight:
You're going to get knocked the fvck out! You'll be laying there twitching. You're going to be an embarrassment to me, you, and everyone else in the goddamn building.
Talk about taking the wind out of your sails. I looked terrified every time the other guy took a swing at me. Afterward, when the last bell rang, my gf heard my trainer say to his wife: Well, he did better than I thought he'd do. I thought he'd get knocked the fvck out.

The unanimous winner for bad advice is mother's, with a large sample of father's as the runner up.
Did anyone have a red pill mother who called relationships like they are and didn't apologize for being feminine?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
