5 Reasons to not take love advice from someone -
64
So as of a few minutes ago - I sort of browsed through some blogs about relationships. Considering, I've been reading relationship books lately on how to be a better lover for my fiance. I figured maybe other folks had some good advice as well. Imagine to my surprise when I found someone who's very popular on here who writes about nothing but Love, relationships, etc... And had sort of a easy list of knowing when you're not in love, when the girl isn't into you, when he needs this... I've got to say after reading a few of them, I believe her to be, not an adequate person to take advice from. So I've decided to write my own, 5 Reasons to not take love advice from someone.
When They are Emotionally Bias or Involved w/ their Advice
- For example, if they tell you, that you are no longer in love with your partner because everything your partner does annoys you; However, they told you this because recently they were engaged, decided to call it off because they couldn't stand being around their lover any more. When in fact, when your significant other starts to bother you, it usually points towards having had issues with one another earlier on and instead of communicating about your issues you bottled them up.
- Another form of emotional bias, being slightly sexist, a man more towards his side or woman's sex or a woman more towards hers or a man's sex. Thinking one is always more of a victim then the other. How can you receive positive advice from someone who can't equally see both sides of the spectrum?
Just two small examples
When They haven't had a Successful Relationship
- I think this one pretty much explains itself, if they haven't had a successful relationship, how the heck do they know what they are talking about?
When They only seem to Give Advice on the What Nots
- If all they know how to do is tell you what not do, or what to look for in order to get out, obviously they spend a lot of time picking out flaws. The negative isn't a positive when it comes to relationships. And if the person giving me advice is constantly telling me what to watch out for, I'm going to assume this person is a runner, they don't look for the positive in relationships, that everything with them is doomed, so they'll think the same for me. Don't take advice from a How to not kind of person. But someone who tries to give you advice on how to fight through the bad times, how to make it work, how to not get a divorce, by all means attempt to lend them your ear.
When they can give you 5 reasons behind everything
- Now I'm just sort of making this one as a joke for a lack of a better idea to be honest. I only think 3 is necessary to make my point. But honestly, when someone can give you 5 ways to do anything, or to look for, or how to not do this. Do you honestly think, they're very deep? Just a question to ask yourself.
When they tell you the stars make you who you are
- Sort of my last and outrageously silly point. If they're telling you to go to the stars, check out your sign, and go off that for the day. Then to be honest, no matter what you believe. I'm sorry, I think that's ridiculous. Because, for me personally, I don't believe how the stars are aligned is really going to make me any better or worse.
So ladies and Gentlemen my point is, if you're going to take advice from someone, do some research... Make sure they're credible sources, someone you can trust, who has experience to go with their wisdom & knowledge. But hey I'm not going to tell you what to do or not, you're your own person, just be smart! I've also added two books below in which I've read and personally would recommend to anyone who wants to better their relationship, a relationship can always get better or worse, what you do with it is up to you. Personally these two books have helped my fiance and I learn how to communicate, love, and act towards each other in ways we never thought about until we read them.
