Are some dating ideas taboo that work?

Like every website you Google says don’t play hard to get while every friend from church says playing hard to get works

Every guy on YouTube says don’t be bossy or demanding but all the woman I know with loyal guys are bossy and demanding in their relationship. The nice ones get dumped or are unappreciated and unfulfilled or the guy takes an extremely long time to propose cause he thinks he might be able to do better. I’ve heard of guys that waited 15 years to marry nice girls while the demanding ones get married in 2 years.
