"The inside counts for all." (Mom) Reality: A 6-pack and a winning smile will win more attention than a (hidden) heart of gold. No one sees a good heart at first glance, but they notice a well-kept façade.
"Not till you're married." Family in general (Catholic). Reality: Living from ages 15-30 as a retarded (in a sense) virgin will not help. In New York, marriage, happens around 30...not 21.
"Treat her like a Queen." ~Women in the family. Reality: It's a Beta tactic to make yourself an option while prioritizing others, be they friends or significant others. Treat them as equals, but never lose sight of your own self-interest.
Not really advice, but it was from my mother. I was on my way out the door to pick up my date for the prom, my junior year of high school. Mom pulled me aside and said "Here. Be careful" and slipped something in my pocket. I thought is was money. I got out to the car, reached in my pocket and pulled out a condom- with cherry-flavored edible gel. I still tease her about that to this day.
My mom gave the same advice to my brother who is in a pretty long (1+ years) relationship. The reason being that she's his first girlfriend and he's still very young, so she wants to see him get to know other girls and date around before settling down with one girl. I actually agree with her advice. I think it makes for stronger, more committed relationships later on.
I have always hated this advice. If your first relationship is good then what is wrong with not wanting to be in the cesspool that we call the dating world.
My mom told me that I let guys use me because they are not buying me gifts and spending thousands of dollars on me and effectively ****-shamed me. We have very very different outlooks on love.
I'm looking for a soulmate and partner not someone that will worship the ground I walk on but who I have no feelings for.
She also told me to not date attractive men, because they will cheat one me. Well excuse me but I'm attractive as well and I think I deserve someone on my level, if I so wish.
Mmm...a close friend told me that the better my lady treats me, the worse I should treat her. " Treat her mean, and keep her keen". was the exact quote. In the case of my ex wife, I probably should have been a lot more hardcore, but I don't have that kind of ...disrespect..he's talking about in me. And now, in my new relationship, I've found someone who genuianally appreciates my kind and softer side. I'm glad I didn't lose that.
