Whom do you normally turn to for guy advice?

Question

And why?

I find that some of the worst dating advice I’ve ever gotten about women was from other women. I usually turn to successful guys for advice.

I don’t think women intentionally try to give guy’s bad advice. However here are the major issues:

The woman’s conscious judgment vs. subconscious judgement on what she really wants is often not congruent when it comes to dating. Women will say and consciously believe they like/dislike certain characteristics about men. However more often they end up being attracted to a man who is at least 50% the opposite of what they “say” they wanted.
Women don’t want to hurt their guyfriend’s feelings by giving them the hard truth about the other woman (e. g. the girl just doesn’t respect him, isn’t attracted to him, etc.).
Women also won’t give guys the hard truth on how to deal with a problematic woman. They won’t tell the guy to just ignore or give up on the other woman. Reason being they feel “loyalty” to the other woman and encourage the guy to get tough in handing the problem. They think “oh that could be me and I wouldn’t want a guy to quit giving me attention”.

Again I don’t think other women intentionally try to sabotage their male friends with bad advice. But it’s just a matter of their “saying” of what women want (which they believe consciously) vs. what they REALLY want (which is decided subconsciously).

Successful men really give guys the best advice.

You shouldn't need to turn to anyone for opposite sex advice. Everything a woman needs in her life to know about a man is how she is about the man and how he will react to her and VS vrs. If you need to know about other men to compare them to him , that can of worms will force you to fail in all the above.

For dating advice, I rely on my faith and my YouTube videos, for etiquette I ask my cousin and for cooking and money advice I ask my friend.

When I needed advice on boys I'd usually turn to my female friends both in the real world and online

Women don't go to other women for advices on fixing issues, but for emotional support aka validation.

First off, if you have a problem you're trying to fix, props to you for seeking a solution. I would recommend asking a man that cares about you, if not possible, then a wise older relative woman.

I rely on the things I've learned from my mentors. I have a whole philosophy on dating. Dating is pretty simple. The behavior part is the work.

I turn to my sister's for women advice. Because 1. They all have long successful marriages. I know my sister's are quality women and are good at determining a woman's motives whether she has genuine affection for me or whether it's all just crafted to exploit me. And lastly they know me well. So they know what type of woman is wrong for me.

I don't turn to anyone. Instead I read articles, watch some videos on You Tube to gain knowledge and then use my own thought process to take decisions.

Try your dad if he's an ok guy. He won't have ill intentions towards you, so he can give sound advice.

Talk to other women. Guys are clueless on most things related to relationships. A few hours on this site should tell you that.
