Talk about popular dating rules that you learned through friends, family, or television that are too ridiculous to be true.
 
Well the one that stands out for me was lamp shaded by GAME OF THRONES, and that's the one where the hero saves a women from being sexually assaulted and then OF COURSE, said woman is now in the mood to throw some sugar his way as a reward. Like GoT said, it's doubtful a woman would be of such a mind to do so after almost getting raped.
 
The Jerry Maguire fallacy aka 'you complete me'. Lovely to say but not so lovely to believe.
 
Girls only go for a holes.
Nice guys finish last.

That reminds me of how Spider-man saves Mary Jane from getting raped by a group of men. Only to have the scene end with the upside down kiss.
 
^Exactly. Stuff like that seems unlikely in real life.
 
If she isn't interested in you by date #2 forget it.

What a load of crap.
 
Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Not true all the time.
 
When somebody says they're a "professional escort" it doesn't mean they're a fighter pilot. :(

I partially lost my first girlfriend because of this.

I thought all girls wanted bad boys, so I was a bit of a jerk.

She dumped me soon after.

Oops. :o
 
Nope, it's a myth that they do, as everyone gets older, people (both male and female) just want security, to feel loved and to feel safe...
 
Well i aint rich and I'm average looking so my fiancee must really love me.
 
The Three Day phone rule. Where did that come from?
 
That online dating is fun and easy. It's nothing but pure dumb luck if you meet a girl online in that kind of environment. Those sites are soul destroying. :down
 
Latina women are crazy and great in bed, that is a myth I have confirmed on several occasions
 
If she leaves you and you mess with her head through a complicated scheme then she'll fall all over you once she figures it out. (Reference - Half the RomComs out there)
 
You can't get a girl pregnant if you do it from the back. Like not the "back" back, but just from the back. Yes, this was told to me.
