"lower your standards" by everyone in my life except members of sosuave

 

[MrEkko]

To tell her how I felt and be open about potentially being more serious with her. On the upside, I learned to never take dating advice from women again.

1. "It doesn't matter if you had a bad night and failed to get it up (due to nervousness/whiskey dik, etc.). As long as you're good with your fingers and tongue, she will keep coming back for more."

<ONE bad performance and you WILL be ghosted. It's ALL about the D.>

2. "Just take a dance class."

<Five years of dance classes came with a five year dry spell.>

3. "You need to be more 'rough around the edges'"

<Too vague to be useful.>

4. "Women like bad boys because they feel sorry for guys with issues."

<Don't know where to begin with that one lol>

5. "It happens when you least expect it."

<See comment #4>

6. "The best relationships are when you start out as friends."

<Start out in friendzone lol?>

7. "You need to be persistent. My wife ignored me and told me to F-off for the first 17 years, but finally gave in and agreed to go on a date with me. Now we have four kids."

<See comment #4>

8. "You're not a bad looking guy."

<See comment #4>

9. "It's all about your shoes."

<Sorry guys. Never noticed a difference with women from ratty sneakers to $300 dress shoes.>

Tell her you love/like her.

10. "She's just playing hard to get."

<Modern, state of the art advice in 1979>

Be friends first.

The best relationships start as friendships.

Basically anything a woman tells you to do, do the ****ing opposite.

 

[Robert28]

Tell her you love/like her.

Hell my grandparents were married 54 fvcking years and not once did I ever hear my grandpa tell her he liked or loved her. If anything they were always arguing.lol

Agreed. But I do find it curious that women never mention or advise a guy to learn/improve their "game." They know that much.

 

[Robert28]

“Eventually you’ll meet a girl that likes you for you”

But then you discover dual mating and hypergamy.lol

Fvck her first, figure things out later.

Women never give the advice to improve because they themselves don’t work to improve. Ever notice men are the only ones saying improve yourself?

True. I don't think "improvement" exists in women's frame. They believe that a guy already has it or he doesn't.

Listen, if she’s pulling the “I don’t date anyone until I know them as friends first” card, either A) make her prove it (she will scoff at this because she knows she can’t) or B) recognize you’re about to jump through never ending hoops to get sex you could get somewhere else much easier. Hard lesson I learned.

Or jump thru hoops while some body else who doesn't want her is tagging it.

Yep! Don’t want her = getting her

Were they fvcking?

 

[Robert28]

Were they fvcking?

I didn’t want to know lol

 

[mrgoodstuff]

I didn’t want to know lol

Just be yourself is a close 2nd

Everyone always says "Be yourself" is bad advice, but I don't think they know what it means. I think it is excellent advice.
To me, be yourself means to relax and be your natural charming self. If you are tight and freeze up, your personality doesn't flow naturally, and conversation doesn't flow naturally, it's like you're constipated. I used to freeze up around beautiful women, and I had to learn to relax around them so I could use the natural assets of my personality.

What it doesn't mean is to be a pvssy, if for some reason you think that you are. And if you are a pvssy, knock it off.
