Bad Advice
Quote | Reply
So clicking aroud CNN.com I found Frisky. It has relationship advice that I think stinks. At least the examples they give on how to follow their advice stinks. For example, in their "Bring a Shy Guy Out of His Shell" article they advise:

"If you’re interested in taking this connection to the next level, she recommends choosing a complimentary nickname – if not for just one moment - based on one of his qualities that you admire. If he is into cycling, for example, say, “So, Lance, do you like to cycle competitively or just for fun?” " Yeah, that's not lame at all.

When I read stuff like this, it makes me wonder, are women really that clueless? Do we need someone to tell us how to date?

I love this one. How insulting to both men and women.

Play the damsel in (slight) distress: Sometimes, all you have to do to get a guy to open up to you is to ask him to fix something for you. “Whether it involves your computer, your car, your bike, your door—you name it - men love to help women; they’re biologically wired that way,” Dr. Kirschner asserts. In coming to your aid, he’ll feel much more connected to you, so capitalize on the situation by asking him questions about what he is doing. “When he is in the ‘helper’ role, he is much more likely to share with you,” Dr. Kirschner says.

Shows like Dr. Phil and Oprah and all the self-help books have proven over and over that people want to be told how to live and how to interact with each other. Finding love, gaining confidence, becoming sexy, finding God, all if it can be told to you if you are willint to watch TV or buy the book. I find it pretty disguisting myself. That's why I love listening to Dr. Laura and Dr. Phil. The people are so fucked up it makes me feel superior. I seriously laugh my ass off at these people who really have no idea how to live their lives. It isn't hard. Just do it!

Seriously. If you can't think up your own revenge, you don't deserve it.

You mean I can just buy a book and learn how to live my life better without actually reading it? Amazing!

Hey if you want to impress this shy guy, ask me out to dinner so I don't have to guess whether or not you are interested or just being friendly.

I'm sorry to let you down, but I'm a dude and I'm not gay. However, thanks for the compliment!

One of my favorites is when a guy broke up with me in college in a really nasty way. I stood in front of his house when his new gf was there and started yelling at him to come out of the house because he had given me crabs. No, he hadn't and yes, I had a couple beers in me.

She broke up with him and told people it was because she heard he had crabs.

It was pretty mean but pretty funny. It was a very small school so he got shit for it for a loooong time from his fraternity brothers.

He totally deserved it.

So will this work?: "I haven't been laid in a really long time...CAN YOU FIX THAT?" ;-0

(I can't believe I just wrote that...)

I bet you'd get quite a response if you started a thread with that title in the LR.

ha ha nice!

when i had a roommate who was really really awful to me* I moved out, but before leaving I took down her shower rod, filled it with sardines, and put it back up. I doubt she ever figured out where that smell was coming from.

*(took pictures of me passed out in my underwear after a .... night of drinking to say the least and sent them to my ex husband's best friend who subsequently made sure that they were ALL OVER the internet)

My ex roommate never cleaned anything, ever. He pretended he was too busy going through his mail while I cleaned all around him. Drove me nuts. He hung his towels in the bathroom while I kept mine in my room. His "little curly hairs" would fall off his towel and collect on the baseboard heater. This disgusted me, especially since I was the only person who ever cleaned anything. Eventually I decided that his face cloth was the best tool for cleaning the baseboard heater in the bathroon.

I'd try that if I wasn't pretty sure already that the only dude's that would offer to help "fix" the problem would be missing teeth, my dad's age, or worse.

Holy crap...I fell for that one. Found out early on in the relationship with my wife that she is more adept at EVERYTHING than me. I am pretty slow on the uptake so no worries.
