My grandmother once told me, "Carlos, make sure you marry for money…because you’re gonna get divorced, and it’s better to be left crying in a Mercedes, then to be left crying in a Volkswagen…either way, they’re gonna leave you…Now go refresh Grandma’s drink."

Wow, that old drunk always gave horrible advice…

What about you?

From my stepmother. You marry him and it won’t last. You’ll never have anything. And several more things I won’t repeat.
I’m still married to him. We have a home. We have furniture. We have enough to eat. We have laughter. What more could I ask for?
She was wrong!

i love giving relationship advice. i think im really good at it. people seem to think the same too. i help them out when theyre depressed from a breakup or are in trouble with their relationship. it usually goes well. for some reason it doesnt work out for me. my relationship crashes and burns and i fall into a depression/rage. its pretty sad that i cant help myself isnt it???
not all relationships are ment to be forever but still. what do you think of me and my situation?

Relationships aren’t as easy as putting advice to a problem. This being because most advice is book advice…it’s for the ideal relationship. But the fact is, every single person and every single relationship on earth is different and not all advice can match up 100% with the problem a couple is having.

For instance: In general we say, if you’re feeling uncomfortable with your significant other’s temper problem, talk to them about your concerns and try to make them understand where you’re coming from. This is text book advice. Ideally…this would work for everyone. First couple: The man easily raises his voice, slams doors, hits the walls…scares the woman senseless. So one day, she sits him down and confronts him without being offensive, just as the advice tells her to do. But he’s in denial and gets defensive and says she doesn’t know what she’s talking about and starts saying that there just something wrong with her that she’s trying to cover up. Second couple: The man is the same way. The woman, again, sits him down and confronts him…tells him how he scares her when he gets angry and tells him of all the stuff he does. Realization hits him and he apologizes and from then on, makes an effort to get better.

All advice has to be tweaked here and there to meet the needs of the specific couple and individual. Even here, we give advice…but i by no means think our advice is followed to the letter. The asker tweaks it where it needs to be tweaked to fit his/her needs with his/her relationship and significant other.

What’s an example of some bad relationship advice you frequently hear?

Mine: Only assholes get women. Be a jerk!

I’m a woman. I would never date a guy who wasn’t sweet or nice. My fiance didn’t attract me by acting like a douche.

Use pick-up lines

I haven’t been in a serious relationship…. Ever. All of a sudden, I get five+ different close friends asking me relationship advice. I try helping as much as possible, and they seem very grateful for it. But when I ask for relationship advice, they say they can’t help. I just feel like I scratch their back, they leave without returning the favor. What can I do?

Get better friends.

What are some good advice or just tips to having a healthy relationship?

Hope that HELPs.

Or talk to people who may actually understand the situation/figure it out for myself?

LOL!
Oh, the irony.

On the surface, it may seem that random questions posed to anonymous people may garner some faux answers, and oftentimes the wannabe comedians of the world provide exactly that. However, there is an innate objectivity when people can answer such questions untethered by any history or knowledge of the questioner. They can look at the question posed stripped of any acoutrements of personality. Even the comedian wannabees can provide insight when their responses illustrate some of the absurdities or quirks. That said, I would never suggest the use of Yahoo Answers as an exclusive resource for anything.

seriously, your in junior high. Go hold hands and kiss eachother on the cheek.

I don’t get why you pick that name but anyway.
I do agree with you. I am reading all this "VERY" young "KIDS" asking about relationships or/and sex!
Where the hell are the parents!!
I don’t blame on them to be honest, they are kids and think they are "mature" enough.
I am a mom of a 10 years old and it scare me that we are living in a world where kids grow up to fast, I wish they relise is time for everything and they should enjoy their childhood because it goes so fast.
Thanks for asking this, I wish more moms had read it.

Maybe a place where I can talk to them through email.

Here is a good place.
You can e-mail people and get advice on relationships
I would be happy to help you

The other night my husband asked me if he was the biggest man I slept with and I said honestly? He wanted to know. So I told him when I was 18 I dated a black personal trainer at the gym who had a very large penis. It has been 2 days and he still hasn’t spoken to me, what can I do to make it better?

The phrase ‘once you go black, we don’t want you back’ springs to mind.

Most men simply can’t find a white woman attractive if she has been with a black man, i’m sorry to say.

Best keep that info to yourself in the future.

Do you take it seriously and follow advice such as the ‘rules of dating’?

And use articles like ‘what men are really thinking’ for information about men?

I have it on good authority, Vi, that most journalists who write for magazines like ‘Cosmo’ and ‘Vogue’ and ‘The Women’s Institute Monthly Newsletter’ are nothing more than boozy, drug-crazed, rampant old hairy-arsed lezzers who couldn’t pull a bloke if he was on feckin’ casters. Fortunately, however, the astrology pages within said mags are 100% reliable and I follow THEIR advice to the letter.
I am currently single …
