How in the hell do you take advice from a friend?

Question

about your man when they dont even have a man?

Answer 1

That's a good one and a hard one. My friends give me advice alot and they are pretty informative. My husband asks why when non of them are married?....or as he puts it ''Don't none of them hookas got a man''!! You know your own Shyt so listen with a grain of salt...u know.

Answer 2

No harm especially if she is a senior.That she does not have a man is not necessarily a disqualification. It may be that she perhaps known(and has experienced) enough about man and not made any commitment and is waiting for an ideal beau. She may be an ideal guide when you are in search of one and being inexperienced think everyone you meet is a Don Von.The judgement of one whose diary is filled up with dates may not perhaps be a good guide because even if theoretically the whole world is your playground a real sportswoman is really interested only in a guy who can and does intend to participate in a match not just test-batting and bowling.

Answer 3

That's about the same as getting marriage counciling from a priest.

I've noticed that (generally) single women give bad advice to others who are in relationships. (I suppose they don't wanna suffer in being alone.)

What I do know is: If you're happy, and as long as you know you not being used or giving too much for too little in return, then it's not that bad.

If your man is one of those players, a smooth talker, who spends too much time somewhere else and not with you ... and if this is what your friend is telling you ... maybe you should listen.

It just depends what you'll be satified with, do you want a LTR? Or are you just playing around too?

RESPECT your self, cause if you don't ... no one else will.

If you're getting real honesty, and you're being real too, and if you find someone who is solution oriented (got a problem and can fix it) hold on for dear life, cause this is a keeper!

Best of luck ... cause if you can live from your kindest heart ... being true to yourself & others easily ... then be glad ... for this is a great blessing.

Answer 4

Advice from a friend is best taken with a spoon of sugar. Most friends will give you advice from their heart. In your case I get the feeling that your friend was hurt by a man and then decided to bag all men as the same 'No Good!'. You have to remember that advice is free and at that price it is worth every cent it cost you.

Answer 5

Have they ever had a man in the past? Because if so they still have helpful advice and may have gone through the same things you are dealing with. Additionally she is just looking out for you, so if she says don't let him treat you like that it's probably because she is an objective observer and can see that he isn't treating you as you should be treated.

Answer 6

I always ask my friend who has the worst luck with men & the one who can keep a man to save her life..then compare what they say.. It really works because the bad one is more helpful to tell you what to look out for & when something is wrong..But your other friend will be more useful in helping you handle the situation if your not sure & confused on your relationship without ruining it.

Answer 7

Hmm.. well they could have dealt with the issue at hand before with a man or they might just be nosy. Either way I would kindly explain to them that you are not looking for advice from them or anyone else but if you do this you will have to remember to not complain to them about your guy. Otherwise they will put their two-cents in or say that you are being rude by complaining but not letting them speak. Good luck.

Answer 8

Depends on the advice- First did you ask for it, how is your relationship with the person giving the advice - do they care that much about you to give you and advice not being asked for or are they just interfering and giving unwelcome advice, finally is there advice sound but you don't want to hear it or is it about something that is private and no one Else's business but yours- if the latter then skip them.

Answer 9

You do take advice form a shrink and they don't have your issues! so why not a person with no man. sometimes they can be more objective then you are because of the fact that hey see things from the outside looking in.

Answer 10

Ok think about that question for a minute. In my opinion its easier to get second opinions on men from my friends as each person has experience that can benefit with input. She might not have a man but more and likely has had one in her life and has experience to share.
