Mistake #10

Taking a Girlfriends Advice

Let's say I was an alcoholic and wanted to get some help in order to put a stop to my destructive behavior. Would I a). Ask my family for help b). Quit, Cold Turkey c). Attend an AA meeting d). Go discuss it with my friends over a drink

?????

Obviously, answers A and C are the best available answers. And B at least shows I have a real desire to quit. Choosing D implies that I not only have ZERO desire to change my lifestyle, but that I have a REAL problem in the fact I'm ignorant in knowing who to ask for help. Now, I hope I wasn't too subtle in my hinting that women tend to ask the worst people for relationship advice. They'd choose their own form of answer d)....GIRLFRIENDS!!!

Girlfriends often have a tendency to tell white lies to each other in hopes of avoiding hurt feelings or conflict in general. Which shows both that they care and are careless when it comes to your true feelings. When in the beginning stages of a relationship, one must be open to where the relationship is going or not going.

Talking to a girlfriend who drinks from the well of bitterness will be counter-productive and should be avoided at all costs. Girlfriends will also allow you to make excuses for a man's faulty behavior or MISREAD MALES SIGNALS and attempt to educate you accordingly. This might be the "Cardinal Sin" of relationship advice, so please steer clear of such advice at all costs


Reminding yourself that ALL MEN AREN'T THE SAME will be a key factor in avoiding such a mistake.
