Whenever giving advice to someone in dating, they always say something semi-useful like "you need more confidence" or "find those you're compatible with" or, something outright useless like "you need to find the right one" etc.

 

Why don't people EVER focus on the fact that if you're trying to ATTRACT someone, you need to be ATTRACT-IVE???!!! They ALWAYS ignore that.

 

What's the deal with people's useless advice that don't produce real results?

Being confident is attractive (for some people) and it is something that most people can change, whereas there are limits to how much you can change how you look.

 

Are you attractive? (hint: this is a trick question about confidence.)

Keep in mind that improving your look will boost your confidence because you'll feel better about yourself so not only will you be more attractive due to dressing better/having a better haircut you'll feel more confident because of it.

I have seen many times beautiful women with ugly men and handsome guys with very random girls.

 

First of all attractiveness is very subjective. Second if people talk about personality it is because the beauty attractiveness is temporary, the personality (confidence, intelligence, temper..) lasts forever.

You'd have to ask girls whether they think I'm attractive. *I* do not determine how attractive they think I am. You can't control who's attracted to you

In your opinion, the advice might be "useless" but that doesn't mean it isn't useful to someone else.

 

In my experience, some people prefer more practical 'how to' advice whereas others just need to know that someone is listening and they're looking for a pep talk more than anything else.

 

People give their time to respond to posters, usually complete strangers who they owe nothing to. They don't have to do that and criticising their advice by calling it "useless" and thereby implying that they wasted their time is rather unfair, in my opinion.

 

If you think you can do 'better', you're more than welcome to put your expertise to good use!
