Do women give the best dating advice?

[VIVANT]

Depends on the Woman really and The person who is asking.

Some people give great advice to some people bc of what advisor can offer is what tye adviser needs and is able to understand.

I think great advice is really just chemistry. Can they communicate well and hear each other. Wisdom is helpful as well lol

There are people who have good ideas but they just toss them at you and won’t communicate. This works poorly when the person asking is actually not badly off as far as instinct but has difficulty implementing it.

Some people are dense so they need structural points. Others are intuitive but have difficulty acting and need encouragement. Others are bright but are Uncomfortable doing anythjng they don’t understand fully- which is not possible when dealing with emotion- so they need a person who is patient and can answer and discuss things but ultimately encourage them to proceed.

Others just have totally messed up views about people in general and really need a person who will take the time to reason wyth them kindly and disabuse them of their weird ideas

Others just lack confidence and know most of what anyone could tell them. They just feel bad. Giving this person blow by blow instruction isn’t helpful.

in my opinion a good adviseR has nothing to do with gender or even personality - provided you are kind- but the ability to be respectful personable patient insightful and flexible.. Zone in on what the person is dealing with and speak in that. Above all be willing to listen and hear them not just try to railroad Your ideas into their head like a transplant.. and personal chemistry between the two. Counts for much of it. in my opinion

[Cynicaldreamer]

Depends on the situation. Believe it or not, I've gotten the best and most candid dating advice from guys!

However that's because I was asking about situations regarding men. Had the situation been reversed, I'd probably say a female gives better advice.

[Kaazsz]

If I think only about my experiences on this website, I have to say girls rarely give any advice at all, let alone good advice.

I’ve seen that us guys will go great lengths to help a girl with a dating advice problem. Whether its relationship, how to attract a guy, what a guy may be thinking, is guys are ready and willing to help the girls out. We will ask questions and analyze and just go HAM to help a girl.

Has anyone ever seen a girl do the same? I’ve seen it a couple times maybe. Even had a girl help me too. But boy is it rare and hard to find! And you have to word everything perfectly, because apparently most of men’s feelings are offensive and evil so you can easily not get advice because you used the wrong words.

And then when they DO give advice, it’s 100% lacking any reference point to your own experience. I have a problem for xyz reasons. Girl gives advice but it has no connection to you at all and it’s up to you to figure out if it connects or not.

I don’t think girls want to give us advice. They want men to make their own way because that’s sexually better for them. If you help a man find his way somehow he won’t be as attractive. A man has to learn on his own he’s not allowed help. That’s how it feels to me anyways.

[smølf]

They can be, but good or bad advice is not based on gender, but on skills and knowledge regardless of gender.

Do women give the best dating advice? No, the most skilled and knowledgeable does, some of them happen to be women though.

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I don't think it's so much the gender as it is the individual person and the quality of advice they have to offer. Both men and women are capable of giving horrible, okay, or great advice. It depends more on how well they understand things, in my opinion.

[ForteExe]

No, women often give the worst dating advice. Consider this scenario: girl is upset at her boyfriend because he didn't buy her a $300 necklace on a whim like she wanted. She goes to her girlfriends and tells them this sob story about how her boyfriend is horrible because he didn't buy her the necklace. What do they do? Do they tell her "you're out of your mind, he doesn't have to buy you shit. It's not like it's an occasion like a birthday, right? It's just a random date."? Nope. They join on the "shit on the boyfriend" wagon to make her feel better. "oh he's horrible" "what a scumbag" "if you cheat on him then he'll start to value you, but you're too good for him so his loss". You might be saying at this point "that's a completely unrealistic scenario. Girls aren't like that. I'm not like that. My friends aren't like that. Well, I was sitting next to this girl in class while she was saying all this. It's not a hypothetical. It's how many women are. They give their friends shit advice to make each other feel good in the moment.

[Nik1hil]

A big NO.

See here is the deal..
"As a Good women they will always protect the trades secret and never give out what guy needs"

Yes they will give great advice..
But that won't be answer to the questions of the test.. Of dating..

But thet will still leave out some details so the Guy cannot easy get in any girls pants.. Which in fact is the right thing to do..

Taking advice from the lady for dating is like getting advice for how to cook something..
But it's your Job to take that advice and make sure you clean the food before you begin..
And also learn how to serve how long will your meal stay fresh and how to clean up kitchen afterwards...

But when it comes to a dude..
You won't even get that recipe.. We have hit and trial methods..

Best for guy is to learn dating from men in successful relationship..
But when going on date.. Use the dates female friends to get some advice for your date.

[lightbulb27]

Depends on the person, I've received some very accurate advice from women... I'm talking in person... that was spot on because they knew the woman or situation. I didn't know what I didn't know... other people can see that, women especially.

But women can also be wrong. Men gave more direct advice, not as emotional or insightful, but direct and accurate at times.

[SueAnon84]

No. I think it matters more on the age of the person (at least in my case?) rather than the gender! It would make sense since I've been through more in life simply. However, not all advice is the right fit for everyone so advice is at best a general thing. You just try to mold it into how it would fit where you are in your particular situation!

[devilman666]

I find that women usually give advice that they think sounds good but it almost never is. Something like "be yourself, not the guy you think she wants you to be", "women want a sweet guy who isn't going to play with her heart", "be honest about what you're looking for", "try to wait till the third date before trying to get her in bed". These cute little sayings that paint women as being pure and innocent and might have been true 50+ years ago but at this point it is backwards. Women want mystery, they want to be spoiled, they want sex with attractive men, and they want guys to play with their heart. Thats why so many women spend their 20s just having fun and making no attempt to settle down, then she hits 30 and wants some middle to upper class man to settle down and support her.

[BoyUFine]

Usually when I have an advise I get mad because someone else is not doing what I'm thinking because I'm thinking very deeply into it. My boyfriend gets angry at me because I get mad at him for doing stuff that I didn't know of but then I take the time to explain exactly my point of view and he completely understands and sees why what he did was a bad idea so at the end I do give good advice but I don't say the reasoning behind it so it gets misunderstood as just me being selfish.

[Ceasar97]

Men and women have very different experiences. A guy would be better at telling guessing what a guy is thinking or wanting; a girl is better at knowing what a girl is thinking or wanting. The best way for a lot of advice is to look at both sides of it and require information from both sexes about what they know and are good at.

[roland77]

I think the best advice comes from yourself, being authentic at all times. But looked on woman or men, both give "good" and both "bad" advice. Best handling practice is to only see other's advises as an option but not ultimate decision, means listen to your heart what is right or wrong for you.

[jackdaw2345]

It just depends on the individual be it a man or a woman if they're experienced in dating their advise can be best. The best advise can only come from the person who knows both partners in a relationship very well he/she based on what they know about them can give long term and effective and tailored advise.

[Anonymous]

Guys, never listen to a girl's advice when it comes to dating unless its about how you dress / hygene / etc.

Patrice O'Neil - "Don't let the fish teach a fisherman how to be a fisherman"

I learned this the hard way and it scared off a girl I really liked.

[lernulo]

Depends of many things. On this forum, not mostly, but because there are men who know a lot.

Furthermore, they usually focus on their need and not on the possibilities of the readers.

But comparing with normal incel post about how they will never get anything, I think they are much better.

[Anonymous]

I don't think any outsider has ever given me any good dating advice ever. I usually go by my gut and that ends up being the correct way to approach things. That's why I stopped asking people for advice on GaG.

Most girls that have given me advice have said "break up with him" or similar

Most guys have ignored the fact that I have a boyfriend all together and would try to make a move while I'm sad.

This is just my experience so don't go giving me shit for this please

[Liam_Hayden]

On here, yes. Partially due to the dynamics. Most guys are happy with a halfway decent-looking girl who doesn't drive them crazy (in a bad way.) Women tend to be more complex in their wants and needs. Since we guys are not too bright in that area, it helps to get helpful hints from the ladies.

[motownplayer2000]

I think its biased and skewed like it would be coming from either side. I know my advise is biased to my interactions and experiences with women in the past. So I try to keep that in mind and have an honest look at myself. But it will always sneak in there at some point in time

[rose_lynnn]

I mean sometimes girls can be more compassionate and easier to talk to meaning they will listen and give you advice. However, both male and females can give good advice, it just depends on the person and their experiences

[YHL6965]

No, usually it's the worst. They think they know how men work but they have no idea in reality and they just make things complicated for everyone. Most of the dating advice I heard from girls about men was so off target, wrong and just bound to make things unnecessarily complicated.

[Furuok]

In case of happy wife? Happy life! Yes
Then some women mite set you up for failure.
Worst advice, just be you! If she doesn't like it, find someone who does.
There are teachers of pimp mode. Those who have diagonals don't stay round.
Most who bundle sticks have a extra square. If she smokes then she pokes!
Roads less traveled by have less shoe print.

[lyssagirl]

Honestly no best advice i get is from my guy friends lmao i call em my nutsack buddies

[0112358]

For men:
- most women give worse advice than other men.
- a handful of women give fantastic dating advice.

For women
- I’m not sure but I’d guess it’s similar though perhaps a slightly higher handful... but maybe not.

[cavmanier]

Asking the fish how to catch fish or asking the fisherman? 😂😂 I don't know t b h.

Generally I think girls are pretty good with advice but not in all areas.

[HOAAH]

I voted no because a lot of my favorite self help books on relationships are written by men.

[honorboundHeart884]

It comes down to the individual, gender is not the important part.

After all if someone states advice and does not use self advice, live by it, then one can not always reflect sound advice to others.

[FakeName123]

On the contrary. Most women give horrible advice - independent on the kind of advice. From life-advice to dating I have only known very few women who actually were capable of giving reasonable advice. Usually it's just nonsense "it will all work out, just listen to your heart"-drivel instead of looking for advice that actually improves a persons situation.

[viajen]

I've noticed a lot of women I know tell someone what they want to hear more than the truth. It helps with feeling more confident, but it's not helpful.

[aa180]

I'm pretty sure women tend to tell conflicting things about what they want when it comes to dating, and this is made especially apparent when they divulge what they want during sex compared to what they want outside of sex, since the two are usually completely polar opposites of each other.

[Screenwriter]

I think it's what and what. It's about their experiences and personalities...

[morimeme1]

Women to men on how to treat their women? Probably yes. Women to women about men? Probably no.

[winterfox10]

Hell no. The thing about women is that they are unique, so you can only get advice on what would appeal to a woman who isn't the one you are trying to get somewhere with. You can ask 1,000 women the same question and get 1,000 different answers.

[buddies]

Not exactly. Our advice is pretty good and valuable... But so practice from men.

[Jjpayne]

I'm going to say that women control the yes and no of a date so they can coach a girl and they can tell a guy how not to screw up :)

[jc2992]

They can definitely, but i agree with some of the people who say that giving good dating advice is not really a gender thing. Common sense knows no gender and honestly some of the greatest advice i have gotten have been from women. but I've also got some wonderful advice from other men too, namely some of the men in my family. so really it depends on the person rather than the gender.

[Dsg1193]

I think men do honestly. From my experience, women try to spare feelings and may be romantic. Men are more direct and straight to the point, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear.

[BigJake]

No, women are largely naive about human nature, especially their own. They have the luxury of naivety because they are the pursued, not the pursuer.

[JREED9383]

I think it really depends on their personality. Some men give great advise but others don't and I feel it is the same with women. but I do lean closer to women giving better advise than men.

[Andrejoao]

Not at all
In some causes its possible but its not that easy

[DDpsy]

Not in the least.
When they talk to men they just spew obvious basic crap and dumb platitudes.
When they talk to other women they just blow smoke up each other's ass.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

A lot of women just gives advice on how please her. Not to please both of them.

[ariadneR]

I think to a certain extent. But not in al areas. They're more empathetic.

[loveslongnails]

Absolutely NOT !!! The worst advice I EVER got on dating came from women !! I stopped asking them when I was about 19 !! LOL

[AndrewMG]

Well I give rubbish advise and I'm male, and as that is the extent of my study sample size, I'll have to agree with you.

[Dolemite510]

I’ve found women give awful advice guys tbh whenever they give advice it’s telling guys do do shit that’s gives women in general more attention cuz it sounds nice, it’s not helping men get laid 😂

[Therisinghero12]

I think that girls give the best dating advise to guys and vice versa, it's always good to see it from the other side.

[I_Am_Sazerac]

Yes and no. It depends on how seasoned they are in the field, otherwise they're just talking out of their ass and blowing it up someone else's.

[Juxtapose]

No, because they really don't relate to men very well and men are the ones who need the advice the most.

[Philyouup]

I guess, in general terms I guess. But at the end of the day, its something we all have to muddle through all by ourselves.

[Anonymous]

Well they're more upfront about it and know more about the way of the woman since they are indeed a woman. But usually it only works for them and their friends or people very similar to them. Otherwise it's not too helpful.

[Iron_Man]

I do I'm a relationship export. Been doing it for ages

[Ganta2Igarashi]

Some over think it too much other don't think at all haven't met a girl that had been able to help me with my dating problems but I have help a ton of people with their dating problems and relationships 😪

[Gary888818]

No. I had to learn the hard way, unfortunately. If a man needs dating advice he's much better off getting it from other men.

[Anonymous]

For the most part no. Reason being is most women don’t know what they REALLY want. The most successful men understand women better than women understand themselves. It’s a tall order but it’s reality

[xyz94]

They do if they're advising on girls' behaviour, but not if it's about mens' behaviour.

[Straight_Shooter]

I don't think good dating advice (or crappy advice) is gender specific.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, i would like to take dating advice from Women.

[skeetskeetskeet]

I think I give the best advice... regardless of gender... probably because im really close to knowing everything

[Snakeyes7]

I would think so. They are the ones whose heart is what everyone is after after all

[Agem123]

It depends. As a girl with a lot of male friends I would say that guys are better at giving advices.

[Anonymous]

No women are backwards as fuck. They want everyone to act and think like them and if someone doesn’t then they think that person is broken

[BeMuse]

I don’t think I’ve ever received good advice of any kind from a women. It’s easier to learn from their behaviors than their words.

[michol1]

It depends on wether or not their bitter about previous relationships
