Like, looking back, what’s some dumb mistake you kept making or advice you wish someone just straight-up told you? I’m talking stuff that actually changes how you handle things now, not the usual “be confident” BS.
What’s one thing about dating you wish you figured out way earlier?

Just because they are a good lay, doesn’t mean they will be a good partner.
That if you can dance you just became one of the hottest dudes in room even if you’re not hot at all.
When you like someone, not mincing words. Want to be upfront? Say you like them and ask them out on a date. I have a cousin who’s been dragging his feet with this girl for about a month because he’s too scared to say he likes her, ask out on a date, saying the cues or words she’s used are enough, etc. and he’s making things harder as each day or interaction passes
Dating around is not wrong, it doesn’t make you not be a gentleman.
Being with the wrong person feels way lonelier than being alone. Learned that one the hard way.
Women are just as nervous as men are when it comes to dating – they want it to work just as much.
Actually be yourself not some idealised version of what you think a man is or worse an idealised version of what you think women want – just be yourself, yeah that’ll mean some don’t find you attractive but the ones who do will really find you attractive.
“Don’t take their bullshit”. As an introvert, average looking guy, I didn’t get so many chances to date. So when I did, I would accept all kind of behaviors. Took me some time and therapy too to learn to set boundaries.
What they say that they want, sometimes isn’t what they want.
Don’t get married.
Effort affects your chances way less than you are told.
There’s something special about that Asian femboy bussy
Not taking anything personally early on in the dating process.
I had a great mental shift when I started viewing first dates as a chance to get to know a new person and nothing more instead of putting all kinds of pressure on myself about finding a relationship.
How simple things are
Women talk to their friends about you and share EVERYTHING. Whether its good or bad.
I used to care if women liked me or not. Now I couldn’t care less. Now I just go to have fun and if she likes me, great. If she doesn’t like me, that’s great too. The funny thing is, now that I don’t care, women get attached to me way faster than before.
