Why...

:rofl: I have the same problem, man. I've never had a girlfriend in my life, yet I find myself giving accurate relationship advice for some reason. I've had women come to me and complain about their boyfriends. I would sit there, listen, give my advice only for it to be completely ignored and watch the fool go and hang herself. No once have any of my friends considered ditching their loser boyfriends to ask me out or anything.

Damn, that pisses me off.
 
Because you are nice enough to listen to their woes and attempt to offer advice?


Sheesh. Have a little more faith in yourself. Maybe it's because people like you. That's not so bad is it?
 
Probably for the same reason people come to me looking for advice or to gripe about various other things that I don't care about.

Candy stripe a cancer ward. It's not my problem. :happysad:
 
Something I was told in my Psych class is that women don't actually want advice, they want someone to listen. You never interrupt them when they are ranting for any question whatsoever. The only advice they want is the thing they want to do. For example if they rant on about their boyfriend and say they aren't sure whether or not to break up with him, but they are leaning toward breaking up with him, they will only enjoy your advice if you say that she should break up with him.

Aka: women almost never need advice, just an ear. I've experienced only way too much of that shit and found it to be true.

As for guys, they do need advice, not just someone to listen most of the time.
 
That is true.

So, just be there for your friends and listen. They'll probably be talking so much that they'll be able to solve their own problem, anyway. That's how a lot of people work. :)
 
Sometimes, it's just passive boasting. They know you're not getting any, so they tell you about their "problems". It's like the guy who has to announce that his Lambourghini doesn't get good gas mileage or the girl who complains that her boyfriend's penis is too big.
 
Thats women.. They'll ask you a stupid question like "Which top do you like better?" you'll say which you like best, and they'll go for the other anyway. The women mind is scary..
 
Home run. I couldn't agree more that this is the reason this stuff happens 99% of the time. The up-side is the "My boobs are so big they make my back hurt" conversations. Those are the best.
