What is some bad advice that you guys have gotten over the years? It can be just general, or specific.
I'll start by knocking out probably one of the most "popular" pieces of bad advice; "There are other fish in the sea", usually said by a best friend, if its a girl you're going for, then usually her best friend, and if you're going for a guy, its usually your best friend who says it. To that, I say "Yeah, but I don't want all the other fish. I'd like that one".
In no other situation is that good advice. If you went to a car lot and picked out a Ford mustang, and the salesmen just told you "Well, there are plenty of other cars in this lot", you'd look at him like he was crazy. Or at a restaurant if the waiter told you "there are plenty of other items on our menu", you'd think he was insane.
So, what is some other bad/stupid advice you guys have gotten?

"Don't go swimming until 20 min after you eat" Or whatever. I know that this myth has been disproved. I have done this many a time.

"All computers are good for is word processing."
I was told that in the early 80's. I bought one anyway even though my dad told me they were more or less a fad.

"You can't get my pregnant if you don't *cleans it up a bit* break any skin barriers."
Told to me by my first GF during my sexual experience at 17.
Thank GOD for luck.

Oh come on, we all know this internet thing is going to blow over in a year or two  "You can't get my pregnant if you don't *cleans it up a bit* break any skin barriers." Told to me by my first GF during my sexual experience at 17. Thank GOD for luck. reminds me of Knocked Up "She can't get pregnant if she's on top. Its gravity." |

Back in the summer of 2001 when I had my first job, I told my dad I wanted to go to the store and buy a DVD player. He told me they weren't going to last because DVD's are more expensive than videos and they scratch. I told him he said the same things about CD's when they came out.
So I had my mom take me to Wal-Mart after work one day and bought it and three DVD's. I showed my dad the picture quality and how I could play a CD full of mp3's on it. Less than a week later, my dad went out and bought the same DVD player.
I understand my dad's logic to a point... he was young when the VHS/BETA fight was going on and just avoided it (which is the same reason I'm currently avoiding HD-DVD and Bluray.) but then again, he swore up and down that digital audio cassettes were the wave of the future and was waiting for the prices to drop to buy one.

If a chick breaks up with you, you should take the first stray piece that offers itself to you.
No. No, I really shouldn't have.

"Go for someone your age or younger."
I can see guys might like that, but I'll stick with the older ladies.
I am so sick of being told to do that just about every day.

I tell one on myself.
When I was a senior in high school, I jokingly told a freshmen who had recently broke up with his girlfriend of two years to date her best friend......and he did. And they were together for a few months.

I am so sick of being told to do that just about every day. yeah, I like older girls, as well. It just seems that every girl in my town seems to only date older guys. That and older girls are few and far between(I mean like 19-21) since I'm a senior in HS. |

So you're into the older ones but not old enough to really have a significant age gap between you? eh, around here(since its a small town with no colleges within an hour) so theres girls 18 and under, and then girls 28 and older(usually with kids). Its not that I wouldn't mind a girl over 21, its just that there really aren't many here. |

Condoms are for suckers, they take away all the feeling...unprotected sex, that's the only way to do it.

Unfortunately with those, there's a lot of young girls aged 18-mid/upper 20s but any older and it seems females get rarer with age unless you stray from the college areas and tread into different parts of the town. Of course if you want to look for a specific aged woman, it helps if you know where they frequent if she isn't exactly college aged. |
