What's the worse relationship advice you've ever recieved? My worse one is "Don't tell the boyfriend that the girlfriend is cheating on him", I mean what the fuck? Yes I'll hurt his whittle feelings and he'll have a good cry, but I believe that he'll be better for it in the long run. Hell I told one guy that his wife posted an ad on W4M section of Craigslist, and he actually thanked me for telling him. Finallly, I don't really care about anyone's feelings unless I care about them, which is a very select few. Otherwise I'm just going to be my usual playful ass-y self.

So, what's the worse relationship advice you've ever recieved?

Yeah, I remember you posting that question here. As I recall, most of the feedback was "don't go around starting shit based on vague assumptions based on your desire for drama."

So, what's the worst relationship advice you've ever received?"Bound to happen sooner or later."
"Leave your emotional baggage on the carousel. If it isn't clearly marked, someone else will surely mistake it for theirs."

oh hmm... there are so many things it's hard to know hwere to begin.

I was once advised how to dress, how to talk, on my accent, how to move, even how to think in order to attract women. It was the greatest facade I had ever done, and was ultimately ineffectual. I'm not a good actor.

So, what's the worse relationship advice you've ever recieved?I haven't ever gotten any that I consider bad. Some funny stuff, though.
Like...
"You're listening and nodding, but you're not hearing me! Fix that."

I fell out of my chair laughing at the random KOTOR reference. :D

Most of the 'relationship advice' I've gotten has been pretty spot-on, but that's because I tend to seek it only from people who are generally spot-on about things, instead of, say, the random person at the bar sitting next to you.

Probably the one that had the worst repercussions was, "You know, why don't you just go ahead and sleep with her? You both seem to be heading that way."

People always ask *me* for relationship advice, which boggles the mind.

Your example doesn't sound so much like "relationship advice" as "advice in regards to other people's relationships and how they're none of your business."

Anyway, I can't think of any particularly bad relationship advice I've been given. The few people I tend to seek advice from are all pretty sensible; hence why I seek advice from them.

Well you know, a lot of times it seems like people are asking for advice, when really they're just looking for an excuse to talk about themselves.

That is true, but I've always hear people say "If my bf/gf was cheating on me, I'd want to know." So...which one is it? Will it be the red pill, or the blue pill?

Other than saying "that shit is going to get you arrested" or "that's probably ok", there's not much I can tell them. I just say what I think and they go away hapoy.

.... lo, and even on a general forum ....

I would say that, amazingly enough, there is no one-size-fits-all solution - save to say that I am absolutely certain that telling someone that their partner is cheating on them is way out of line unless you have actual proof, not just suspicion.

Maybe, but i give them advice. If htey respect me enough to actually want advice, thy get some, and if they don't, they won't do it again.

"Unless the woman plays hard-to-get the relationship is doomed."

i'd say its the responsibility of 'partners' in any sense of the word and in any number and mix of genders to be as honest with each other as they possibly can, and the responsibility of everyone else to butoutski, unless specifically asked, about what they think they might be seeing. (unless former, or potential future, partners, who want in/back in, in which case they still bear the responsibility to be completely honest about themselves and their intentions.)

"Unless the woman plays hard-to-get the relationship is doomed."
Yeah ... as long as at least one of them is "playing", it's doomed.

who would ever do such a thing?

*cough*

My advice about it is usually to stop being emo, I think it's quite efficient. Guys who whine about this stuff on either side are usually whipped losers lashing out, so I'd say it's rather dull.

*cough*

surely nobody would be THAT desperate for attention that they'd do that to a forum full of complete strangers, right?

Well, we don't have any forum members that constantly post situations in their personal lives looking for advice on how to handle them. So, I would say that, at least in this forum, we don't have a single person like that.

and ESPECIALLY not people who, after asking for that advice, proceed to ignore it, and, at worst, will even make reference to it as "the worst advice" he/she received on the subject.

Nope, nobody.

Here? No, that would never happen here. All of our forum threads have to do with politics, religion, abortion, and gun control. Never do we get asked for advice about school, or ex girlfriends, or girls who think they're girlfriends, or any drama like that.

It's a good thing, too, because it would probably just end up with a bunch of people trying to have an orgy.

Holding up someone by the neck is all the rage these days. Force choke is so last year.
