One of the problems with the media is that they often display unrealistic events for a multitude of reasons (drama, comedy, symbolism). But sometimes people see things in movies and think it is a good idea. Often it is not.
Here are 14 pieces of good advice based on bad movie ides.
- Romantic gestures and surprises should be small. Big ones are a waste of money and time. Multiple small surprises and gestures work better.
- Do not wait ("for the right time") to tell someone you like them, love them, or want to marry them. The best time is when you realize it.
- Do not lie about being pregnant. Smart men promise to take care of the baby but end the relationship. Stupid men just cheat.
- Do not withhold the fact you are pregnant. No different from kidnapping - you are taking a man's child from him. If he hasn't physically assaulted you, you are doing something worse than what he did.
- End a relationship when you start thinking about cheating on someone. The fact you considered it means you don't care enough to stay.
- If you do end up cheating, immediately confess. Maintaining the relationship under false pretenses is often worse than cheating.
- Tell your friend(s) that you are lusting/mooning over the same person. If you both love X, then you both need to admit it - to each other and them.
- Any gender can do anything. This includes asking someone out, proposing, housework, support, making dinner, making plans, initiating sex, etc. Two only exceptions: men can not get pregnant or lactate.
- Talk about sex. Best way to get better at sex is to get some instructions.
- People that fight are not in love. Love is about getting along.
- 'Players' do not stop because they fall in love. There is a reason why they are players, and that has to be fixed before they are start a relationship. Easier to beautify an ugly faithful person than vice versa.
- Women are just as shallow, foolish, and likely to cheat, as men. Men are not more immature than women.
- Kissing (and/or sex) has nothing to do with how good a 'match' they are. Those things take practice which means the skilled are popular, not the one. This also means the unskilled can be taught.
- When hearing bad news, do not get drunk. Alcohol is an exaggerator - it makes good things better and bad things worse.
