Nightsky Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 What are dating myths? Can we make a list here of what we think they are? There are a lot of things I believed growing up about dating I now know as false.
Art_Critic Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Wait for days to call... Back in my single days I have called girls on the way home from first date to the next day and never had a problem, if I had waited 5 days to call I guarantee you that sends the wrong message. 2
Author Nightsky Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Wait for days to call... Back in my single days I have called girls on the way home from first date to the next day and never had a problem, if I had waited 5 days to call I guarantee you that sends the wrong message. That certainly is one myth I've heard. good one! People need to use their discretion and call when they want to with in reason pertaining to their particular situation and style and not follow some vague steadfast rule. Here is something that is not a myth, ALWAYS make a point to call a girl the next day after the first time you had sex to say something sweet like "thinking of you" etc., I mean unless you don't care haha.
Author Nightsky Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 "there are decent single men/women out there" haha funny, yet too negative for me to agree there. That is not a myth lol.
FitChick Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 "Everyone is dating and having a wonderful time." Similar to the Sex Myth -- "Everyone is having great sex." 2
Author Nightsky Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 "Everyone is dating and having a wonderful time." Similar to the Sex Myth -- "Everyone is having great sex." I like what you're getting at here but I'd like to re title it. Along the lines of what as kids I feel I was led to believe about marriage. This is along the same lines but I like it better. I used to believe that married people loved each other or some sht. I now know not to take that granted as logic, reason, and observation has shown me they can be miserable and not having any sex or anything else. So the "Marriage is bliss" myth lol
Revolver Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 If a man has ANY type of problems when it comes to dating and relationships it means he's automatically going after 9's and 10's. If a Woman has ANY type of problems when it comes to dating and relationships it automatically means she spent too much time going after and dealing with "bad boys". 3
ThaWholigan Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Only tall good looking dudes get laid - myth Only jerks get laid - myth All girls test their man - myth Men have a bigger sex drive than women - myth All promiscuous people are cheaters - myth 3
pteromom Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Dating myths: "He has great potential, so if I hang in there, he'll eventually become exactly the man I want." "If I don't have immediate sparks with someone, we aren't compatible." 4

If a Woman has ANY type of problems when it comes to dating and relationships it automatically means she spent too much time going after and dealing with "bad boys". Yes this is pretty much a Myth, not sure how best to put it more succinctly. This is something I've heard a lot. I do believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder and she's a 10 or she's a 6 is just basically fun locker room talk type of thing. Although there certainly are girls who society would consider well above average hot and other girls who they would consider average to below average. I've found that the below average to average girls can often be pickier/harder to deal with than some hot chic. You should go after women you find attractive and never settle. Nature should trick you into settling by making an average girl seem like a 10 if that's the best you can do. Nature does strange things, especially in a prison setting.
Author Nightsky Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Only tall good looking dudes get laid - myth Only jerks get laid - myth All girls test their man - myth Men have a bigger sex drive than women - myth All promiscuous people are cheaters - myth Yes I know a 5'2 guy who does great with women and isn't rich or working a job thats sexy. But being tall does help! No, denying that. Being a jerk is very subjective, that myth can't be dis-proven to the self proclaimed nice guys who label every guy who gets a date a jerk. Though women do like the right kind of jerk! Girls will test you in one way or another... Some girls do have a higher sex drive than men. That needs to be proven on a case by case basis though lol. Dating myths: "He has great potential, so if I hang in there, he'll eventually become exactly the man I want." "If I don't have immediate sparks with someone, we aren't compatible." Ah yes people magically change myth. As a man being the instigator in these types of things I don't have to worry about "sparks." What I will say is if I'm not attracted I'm not going to pursue anything. Also I have met people who I wasn't attracted to and than later it hit me wow she is really hot. 1
aed Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Only tall good looking dudes get laid - myth Only jerks get laid - myth All girls test their man - myth Men have a bigger sex drive than women - myth All promiscuous people are cheaters - myth Agree on most part but: Men do have a bigger sex drives then women, doesn't mean that small % women have a bigger sex drive then their men. But men have a biger sex drive, its because of the testosterone. Women with extreme sex drives like nympo's also have higher testosterone than the average women. It's even measured in a dutch study: men how where convicted for fysical rape, had extremely high levels of testosterone. 1
Imajerk17 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 "Women have it easier than men." --myth A woman has to be close to the guy's physical type for the guy to be interested. If she is not, she is going to have a tough go at getting the guy attracted even if she is Mother Theresa. A man, even if he is not a woman's physical type at all, very often still has a shot. 1

But you want to create a myth that men have it easier then women?
Author Nightsky Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 But you want to create a myth that men have it easier then women? Well from my perspective women do have it "easier." Although by that same respect I'm all for being a man and having it "harder." We play the game from different perspective. Generally the man being the chaser, and woman the chased lol. 1
somedude81 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 If a guy doesn't try to kiss you by the second date, he's not interested. -Busted! 1
movingon12 Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Playing hard to get is great way to keep a guy interested - myth. 3
Emilia Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 even if she is Mother Theresa. You mean dead? 1
crude Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 A myth for me is that men love to hunt women as prey, and love a chase when she's playing hard to get, and are appalled by a woman who shows interest in him, and does the unthinkable and asks him out. To me, a passive cow waiting for the man to do all the running is simply a mediocre individual who does what she's been told by best selling authors and whoever made up the silly dating rules most women live by. I'm not a hunter trying to spread my seed, I'm a human being who is ruled by logic and rational thought and would just like some company.

Quoted for the truth.

I'm assuming 'logic and rational thought' here stand for 'socially awkward'?
tigressA Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Myth: Waiting to have sex for an arbitrary length of time will make a man like you more/want to stick around longer/want you for a relationship. Fellow ladies, best to get busy on your own timetable so there are no regrets. When a man is truly interested in you, it doesn't matter when you have sex with him.
El Brujo Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 What are dating myths? Can we make a list here of what we think they are? 1. They are not "myths", because the word "myth" implies they are BS. They are RULES---unwritten ones, but everyone is expected to follow them. 2. No, there isn't a person alive who can make such a list without making a complete a$$ of themself.
