Be yourself, stop looking for a woman, if it happens it's meant to be if not don't try. Absolute crock of s*** advice.

My son existed a relationship a few years ago, when we where discussing the problems he faced and all of the fun that comes with break ups he decided to play me a voice mail from his now ex off his phone to show me the type of person he had to deal with

One of the lines she ended the message on was
"if you can't deal with me at my worst you don't deserve to have me have me at my best"

He ended the relationship due to drug use and irrational behavior on her part.

yaaah...

Pretty sure that is a line from some movie somewhere she probably heard and thought sounded great in her downward spiraling situation.

If a woman ever uses that statement, just run in the other direction.

- Date someone your own race, you'll have less problems: Hum, no. I'm not attracted to people my own race. Went on two dates with two different guys, no spark whatsoever because I was not attracted to them mentally or physically.

- You'll just know he's the one: I thought I knew once ... I was fooling myself, big time.

- Find another guy to get over the last one: It doesn't always work.

I've never received this advice but it is often offered here, especially to men...

"Take dancing/salsa lessons. You'll meet a ton of ladies who love to dance and will fight to dance with you."

Here's the scenario...

10 dorks show up at studio for the 1st lesson. Dancing instructor is middle aged female. 2 other middle aged ladies show up together, married of course.

During the course of the evening, the point comes when instructor suggests partnering up to practice. Each man approaches each woman about dancing. Each lady politely declines and explain that they're best friends and want to practice with each other.

The instructor spends the rest of session dancing with each of the guys, while the other guys awkwardly practice solo dancing in front of mirror.

At the end of class, dance instructor is panting and red faced from dancing all night and the 2 married ladies saunter out to continue their girl's night out at the espresso bar. The dorks leave and curse themselves for believing the experts who told them to take dance lessons.

Agreed! That is a statement I associate with men and women with personality disorders. Nothing good follows after this.

Ugh. Yeah, you hear that one a lot. Can't stand it.

I honestly can't remember receiving much dating advice. Not sure if that's good or bad.

I don't think that advice is BS, I just think it's often misunderstood. It's primarily aimed at men and women who seem desperate and/or overly invested in trying to find a partner.

People (regardless of relationship status - single, in a relationship, married, etc) should put themselves out there at least occasionally and interact with society. It's just a healthy thing to do, it helps keep you aware and engaged with the world...and it can lead to many fun moments, learning experiences and new interpersonal connections.

Ideally, the "putting yourself out there" should be naturally interspersed with the other things you do in your life. In other words, it shouldn't require much thought and effort; it's simply something you DO from time to time because you want to, similar to eating a good meal or watching your favorite team or whatever.

Most people who approach life and the world in the above way will naturally encounter more than a few people where the attraction is present and the dating potential is there. (As opposed to temporarily flipping an invisible switch in the brain to go into "MUST FIND A WOMAN" mission mode.) At that point it's merely a matter of recognizing the opportunity, building up a bit of rapport and (if things seem to go well so far) making a move. Unless you live out in the middle of nowhere, there's a heck of a lot of people out there all around you.
