Do female friends give good advice about men’s love lives?

It really depends on the female and how well she knows someone. If she’s someone who tends to hate men or someone who gossips a lot without knowing what she’s talking about. Take it with a grain of salt. If she’s a good person who seems to know when something is going on with someone else maybe listen.

All depends not all females are the same and neither are all males. People who think that one sex or the other operates in a hive mind is a idiot.

It's a double edged sword here. Yes a female can typically give men good advice about love. But that's assuming she's inclined to do so. You never really fully know a woman's motivations. Even if she's a friend she can and will sabotage you if she feels it's in your best interest.

[MoonFace2]

In your best interest, or in hers?

[Opinion Owner]

Well, you said friend.
Of course a woman who's NOT a friend will do it in HER best interest. But if she's a friend what I meant was if she thinks a woman isn't right for you she will sabotage you, having the opinion that she doing g you a favor. And she MIGHT be right. But that isn't her choice to make.

[MoonFace2]

You raise a good point. You mean if she sees you as a brother figure

[Opinion Owner]

Well I don't know. You're asking me to assume the way she sees him vs. all guys. Do you see all guy you don't have feelings for, friends as brother figures?
Again you said "friend" so I'm assuming you're not talking about the type of woman who sees all guys as objects of flirtation and all women as competition.

I guess I don't understand the significance of the way she feels about/sees him if they're friends. If you're a truly a friend you should always want what's best for them. But as a friend you cannot live thier life and makes choices for them. That's disrespect. You can speak you peace. But that's where it has to end.

Agreed. I give my guy friends honest advice. If I catch feelings for a friend, instead of doing that, I’m just honest about my feelings. If they reject me, the friendship is over. Not out of malice on my part, it’s just that I won’t let go unless I’ve lost contact with the guy.

[Opinion Owner]

Completely understandable.

[MrOracle]

Rarely. I can think of only two girls who ever gave me any good advice, and many dozens who gave terrible advice. Most women are too concerned about hurting feelings, or are just projecting their own personal feelings without any consideration for the people actually involved.

A man would much rather have his feelings hurt (in a kind way rather than a mean way) and get true, useful advice than to have his feelings spared with useless false advice.

This is a good question but I've never really have gotten any advice from any girls for my love life I've gotten she's a b**** I don't like her blah blah blah blah blah blah blah what are you doing with her blah blah blah blah blah that's about the only thing I've ever gotten LOL

Women give each other the worst advice. They lie to each other. They tell their girls no girl you’re perfect he was a narcissist, when in reality she’s the toxic one. I think men are better at giving advice cause we don’t get our emotions involved. That’s why these women who are going to therapy w female therapist are getting bad advice. Chances are she’s in that profession because of something that happened in her life. So if a man heated on her she’s going to give bad advice based on her emotions and her life experiences.

I have never seen any friend able to give a legitimate advice about an entire population group, they're not magicians, they are friends lol

[molonski2]

Sometimes advice can be positive , sometimes ill directed or simply completely incorrect , so it varies , guys should never take as absolute.

[HighValue]

No. From what I have seen IRL, women often intentionally give bad and harmful advice to other women.

[red324]

I got mad ar a girl I was dating once because she listened to the bs her friend came up with about me. She should know to think for herself. Not go off what others say.

[Nikki1989]

We never talk about the private lives of others.

[EmmaMary]

Like @Nikki1989 we do not have these conversations.

[lorenzomichael]

Are you kidding me? Fuck, no women don’t even know what the fuck they want let alone give advice to a man about what he wants or needs. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

[AmeerX]

Female friends with men do give good advice. But to their own female friends, they will sabotage it.

A woman should never take advice from other woman.

[SolitarySolace]

No. Women don't understand what it's like to be a man so how could they give men advice on the subject?

[Vegasrunner]

If a guy has female friends he probably doesn't have many sexual relationships with women going on

[es20490446e]

Women act instinctively, unaware of how those instincts articulate.

[Anonymous]

LOL, no. Women say what they think they're supposed to say.

[exitseven]

some friends are better than others.

[ProbablyClueless]

That does NOT seem to be the consensus.

[Iron_Man]

it’s made up fabricated nonsense

[Chthou95]

Generally speaking no they don't.

[WhitneySnow]

Generally

[KrakenAttackin]

Oh hell no!

[Jmmmfi4]

THEY CAN
