at a young age , "they" took kids like me and said, "This kid is a threat, he's going to bang my daughter in a couple of years" and taught us to do the exact opposite of what women actually like.
Dad, brother, and male friends were the good influences I had , in that sense, but it was emulating and not teaching.
If you want to consider an education proper, it would have served me well if I had grew up two generations ago.
I had great parents, but I had to learn the proper education for myself. The proper education for a man is something that's generally frowned upon in our society (at least here a few places in the west). People will harp things like sexist, chauvinist but I just find those to be competent masculine attributes.
Aside from my pops, I learned a lot about women from a particular pimp I had knew growing up. I used to think he was a dirtbag up until my early twenties when he saw my troubles and offered some of the best (and most effective) advice that I heard at that point. Pimps get such a bad rap but their knowledge is equal to that (and more) of a PhD in evolutionary psychology.
I learned that america is not very romantic or hospitable to everyone
and very sexually repressive, but not for everyone tho, so good luck
with that anyway; and if you're from another country, make sure
you bring your girl with you, so you won't have to waste too much
time looking for one here.
Which ever sex you seek dates with -- do you feel you were raised and educated with the proper details concerning the opposite sex? Have you found the things you were told by caretakers to be mostly true or untrue now that you're an adult? TY.
**Please take the poll . It got cut off: "Since becoming an adult do you feel the education you received concerning the opposite sex was accurate?"
I would call my education very "proper" for the time. And totally messed up. I have since been reeducated. Whew.
I feel the education I received concerning the opposite sex was accurate.
My education was self-taught using what guys themselves have said/done and books on interpersonal knowledge, human psychology, human sociology, and verbal/nonverbal communication.
Same here, but I don't blame my parents. It's not like they were some experts in that area who had something to pass down...
Oh, I never blamed my parents. They had no idea how to broach the subject, and even if they had, I doubt their advice would have been helpful. They were "old" even when they were in their twenties, IYKWIM. Their ideas were regressive even for their time. And the culture changed drastically between their youth and mine.
But the fact is, they never taught me a thing about the opposite sex, and left me to figure it out entirely on my own, for better or worse.
Oh, it might've sounded like that, but I didn't mean to say that.
