God will bring someone your way. Nope. It made me feel sick. No, God won’t, he’s a fictional character and saying that he will help me means I have no control over who I meet. I will find someone when I want to and if I choose to. Feelings have to reciprocated of course but I have a choice. It’s ironic that we have free will because god ‘gave it to us’. I just irked me as you can tell.
#1. Yes, there are many fish in the sea but almost all of them are throwbacks (in fairness, most women probably consider me a throwback).
#4. A person trapped in a horrible, abusive, loveless relationship or marriage might be saying this, making it quite valid from the sayer's perspective.

This one is usually said by women more so than men. I don't think most women ever try to put themselves in the shoes of men during dating so they don't realize we pratically live in different universes when it comes to dating.
For like 98% of men it NEVER just happens. Almost every guy has to bust his ass and get rejected a lot just for one girl to go on a date with him.
Definitely don't do that. Don't think I've ever met a married girl who had sex with her husband on their first date... usually the 3rd-6th date is fairly average for my married friends.
@JustAnotherTexasGirl yeah I usually wait until we have agreed to be a monogamous boyfriend and girlfriend before I have sex. Which is usually about 5 or 6 dates in
2) well if you approach a girl for only her boobs and ass you should let her know lol. Maybe just say you like her figure/shape, but don't say you like her personality and be a liar.
You don’t sound like someone I (or anyone I am friend with) would ever consider dating. You do get some obviously deceiving advices, it could be the result of internet.
I hate when people say these things! Nobody wants to tell just tell you straight up: "dude, the reason you aren't getting laid is ____." HELP ME SOLVE MY PROBLEM, DON'T TELL ME TO LET IT SOLVE ITSELF.
Most dating advice is useless because it is so vague or it is based on generalizations and cliches. Even worse it when people make things sound like it is easy.
I see what you mean. that's all my parents ever tell me but my big cousins helped me out. Don't watch these vids, hopefully u have a brother/close friend/cousin that's about 18. Talk to him my man

"There are many fish in the sea, but it's your job to take the opportunity. And sometimes it may not work for some fishes"
But there can be an actual issue if at the end of the day it's disproportionately difficult for the average fisherman to find a fish. It's entirely possible that there's not enough fish in the water.
Then there's cost. How long can you keep coming back from fishing runs empty handed before you have to give up?
And then there's the oddity that.. women often say things like that but do they *really* "take opportunities"? Because really seems like they make it men's job. It's entirely practical for a solid portion of women to fall into something.

My guy friends always tell me to have sex on the first date...
Never goes well for girls when they do that but they still tell me to
Definitely don't do that. Don't think I've ever met a married girl who had sex with her husband on their first date... usually the 3rd-6th date is fairly average for my married friends.
Not always true. I've known people who were married who had sex on their first date. That being said, it happens when it happens. Don't force it.
@JustAnotherTexasGirl yeah I usually wait until we have agreed to be a monogamous boyfriend and girlfriend before I have sex. Which is usually about 5 or 6 dates in

agreed. just being yourself works for some not for others, and no amount of not focusing on getting in a relationship has gotten me said relationship.
some advice needs to be tailored to the person they're talking to
You don’t sound like someone I (or anyone I am friend with) would ever consider dating. You do get some obviously deceiving advices, it could be the result of internet.
That you have to love yourself before anyone can love you.
The only advice that is good and works is to play hard to forget. Your welcome, you don't need to ask anyone again and get stupid answers!
I hate when people say these things! Nobody wants to tell just tell you straight up: "dude, the reason you aren't getting laid is ____." HELP ME SOLVE MY PROBLEM, DON'T TELL ME TO LET IT SOLVE ITSELF.
All of these things are the best advice someone can give?
Y know why?
The best kind of love advice is NO love advice.
that really doesn't maker any sense similar to what i said on #3
No amount of advice is going to change who you are as a person, which is 98% what gets you into an actual genuine relationship.
Most dating advice is useless because it is so vague or it is based on generalizations and cliches. Even worse it when people make things sound like it is easy.

Point is, that advice seems flawed.
I hate things like those.
The first one sounds like a support for dating multiple women and not looking for one solid relationship and SO.
I lost my girlfriend of 7 years we broke up and all my female cousin could say is there's plenty of fish in the sea that annoyed me
you're not getting number 2. Which is a shame as its basically all you need to get yourself a keeper.
this one is my favorite
"sex isn't even that good"
my response
"then why the fuck do you keep doing it then"
Comes a point when you need to look closer to home, pal.
Just sayin'.
OK, I'll give you another one:
"It's not a sprint, it's a marathon"
