Do you think “you don’t ask a fish how to catch fish” is a false equivalence?

[Summeroflove]

I think so. Because most men and women actually want a relationship and fish don’t want to be chopped up and eaten.

If someone isn’t into you then move on and people who play games aren’t worth your time either

[SnowedIn]

Not only is it a false equivalence, the fish can't even conceptualize being caught or what the consequences of being caught are. Their fleeing from nets, hands, etc., is instinctual not a conscious choice of I must evade capture.

But, all that aside, your last sentence is spot on the the meat of your point.

[Summeroflove]

Lol yeah. Most women want relationships anyways and women who don’t want me I’m not wasting my time on

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!

[LiamJHayden]

Of course it is defective, precisely for the reason you stated.

[coachTanthony]

you should ask someone who's done something before on how to do that something. There are some fish who catch fish just saying.

[Summeroflove]

I suppose you’re not wrong I just mean most women want a relationship

[coachTanthony]

True True

I think that one should ask a caught fish how they were caught if one is seeking dating advice. At least one can learn which lures work best. ;-)

[Summeroflove]

Yeah but see all women are different and I’m not into just hooking up lol. I actually want something meaningful and hopefully at some point marriage.

[Guy13]

You are simply using different bait and a more firm rod and reel. Catfish, Blowfish, Tuna, Flounder, Shark, and God forbid Swordfish... Keep the lure out the Dismal Swamp where Hinged POF bottom dwellers rest...

[MCheetah]

No, it isn't. Because women typically have no clue what it takes to attract women, let alone attract women as a man. Women can only give their experiences on what they like, as an individual. But women often have no clue what other women are into, which is why their advice on dating for men, is usually trash!

The same can kinda be said regarding men, but a lot more men have simple tastes when it comes to women, which usually boils down to "Don't be a b*tch, act feminine, look semi-attractive, and know how to cook." You can win over 90% of men just by being those four things. Granted, some men are into some crazy sh*t, like pegging, anal sex, getting cucked by another woman going down on their girlfriend ("three ways"), and other weird sh*t. But those men are the outliers; not most men.

“You don’t ask a fish how to catch other fish”, besides the lack of experience factor, also makes sense, because fish wouldn't want other fish to be caught either. Women don't want men they're not attracted to, to get with other women (either out of jealousy, or purely to see the man alone and miserable for their delight.) If a woman is attracted to a man, then she either wants that man for himself, or don't want to see him happy.

So yeah, I think the comparison is accurate. You don't ask a heterosexual woman who to flirt and impress other heterosexual women, cause she's (likely) never done it before, and at best, can only tell you how to get women like her.

But REALLY, all it takes is being tall, handsome, fit/athletic, and having a f*ckton of ego. It ain't that hard, on the surface. Few men just possess those things.

[Summeroflove]

Mostly because all women are different and many men and women don’t really know what they want

[slatyb]

It's very silly, as fish don't want to be caught.
