Do you know any dating urban myths?

Urban myth is a modern myth. A frightening untrue story in which the storyteller insists is true, but has no hard evidence to back up.

I think these are dating urban myths:

Girls like jerks/ don't like nice guys - No, they don't like jerks. They like nice guys. The reason she doesn't like you is because you're a loser. The best attribute a guy can have is being nice to others.

Men are afraid of successful women. - Sersiously? Guys who are afraid of successful women, aren't men but mice.

Girls play hard to get if they like a guy - No, they don't. If a girl really likes you, then she'll go out of her way to be together with you.

Men only want xxx. - No, they don't. We like to have a special someone we can share our lifes with too.

Women only want romance and don't want xxx. - Of course they want xxx. In this respect girls and guys aren't that different.

Do you agree with my list of urban myths? Do you know more?

Do you just date people who you find you have some interests in or do you hold out for those gems of a person that you just know that person is perfect for you? I feel like people in modern societies are just dating just for the sake of dating. I personally am waiting for that special person that I just connect with, I don't want to settle for anything than perfect because that's what I feel I deserve, do you or do you not feel that way? I am constantly chastised for not being in a relationship frequently, I just think why date if it doesn't have that possibility of going somewhere. What's your thoughts on this?

The two most talked about online dating websites.

POF is more old school and simple, whereas OkCupid has a modern match system.

But which is better, based on your experience?

I can't count how many times on this site that the "human nature", "caveman/woman days.

Men want to spread their seed, women are drawn to strength and power in men, etc.

---------------

Some people act like we're STILL unsocialized animalistic creatures that have no control over our natural urges.

Imo, somebody talking about their "human urges" taking over their thought processes and socialization is a weak cop-out to justify their behavior...like people REALLY can't control themselves if they really wanted to.

*rolls eyes*

------------------

My question is...do you think that this "human nature" argument is over-used when it comes to justifying/explaining behavior in modern dating?
