Are Women Being Led Astray?

Dating can be an exciting yet challenging experience for many people. Navigating the ups and downs of relationships can be made even more difficult when shitty dating advice is being followed. Unfortunately, there is a lot of bad dating advice out there constantly touted by many “false prophets.” I believe that many women are being led astray by it—a lot of times, by their own gender.

I want to take a closer look at the problem of bad dating advice, particularly from the lens of a man, some studies and statistics, and in terms of generalities if this advice is genuinely leading women astray. I’ll delve into why it persists, the consequences it can have on people’s relationships, and how some of it limits you to one kind of man or no man at all.

Types of bad advice for women

Bad dating advice can be a real buzzkill. It’s the kind of advice that’s supposed to make your love life better or help you get a love life, to begin with. But a lot of it leads you on a wild goose chase. But what exactly is bad dating advice? I believe it’s any advice that promotes unhealthy behaviors or unrealistic expectations in relationships and pits one gender against the other.
