Don't act like a strong, independent woman
cause they'll believe you
Don't lay on your back like turtle for these men
just don't have sex with these guys for nothing
It's like go slow, take care, protect yourself
Wear a condom
or dump him
So one piece of dating advice my female cousins have gotten
is don't be fooled by guys with nice cars
cause you don't know if it's a rental
oh you have to follow a fine boy
Fine boy, you have to bring us a FINE BOY
If the boy is not fine, we don't want him
My mom, always.
Make sure you don't kiss on the first date
don't give it up on the first date
make sure there is no form of funny business
As a girl child, you have to take care of yourself
and don't follow boys
I knew that when I saw a boy on the street
I would just go around
even though a five minute walk could take me like day
Have many friends
You know, male friends
Don't sleep with all of them
but just have a few around and then
you know, it's like a box of chocolates
then you decide -- hmm
meaning that if he really loves you
he really needs to make an effort you know
to work so hard
If someone is interested in you, you will know
there'll be no doubt
they shouldn't leave you questioning
and I've definitely found that to be true
when people are playing games and all that
they're not that interested
I asked my aunt this a few years ago
and she'd said - picture your life ten years time
If you can't picture your life without that person
then that's your person
and then I cried
I was in a bar and I probably had like four Jamesons
The only advice I got from my mother was
try to only have sex when you're in love
cause she wanted to protect us
but here's the problem
Chileans fall in love all the time
and at the drop of the hat
so you meet someone and 24 hours later you're like
Oh my God, I'm so in love so you have sex
I don't think most Japanese people will talk
about love with their parents
Culturally we don't feel very comfortable getting
relationship advice from our parents or relatives
For typical Indian parents there is no dating vocabulary
in their dictionary, so they were always like
Make sure you don't date
I shouldn't date after I finish college at least
One of my close friends told me
that we should always
respect the guy, like, man
OH WOW, YOUR STORY IS INTERESTING!
Or like something like that to motivate the guy
Always respect your man
and get a man with good manners
It was like a funny way to say
just be careful cause they're all a bunch of losers
..but.. sorry!
Treat girls gently, and sweetly and kindly
because they're more smaller, fragile human beings
and we gotta be extra nice to them
You gotta be a gentleman every time
Chivalry's not dead in Croatia
My mother always told me
be respectful and always treat a woman well
A man has to love you more
in most cases, it just works out better
xiào which means filliality
is a very vital part of Chinese culture
One piece of advice that my parents gave me
to always look at how this dude treats his own parents and family members
OK so I don't like it
but my mom always told me
Look how he treats his mother
I used it in a way that I looked how he treated people around him
Don't judge the person quickly
with their appearance, like how they look
That I'm supposed to look what's inside the person
Find the right girl
Find the right person
How good is any expensive porcelain bowl
if you have no soup for it?
When it comes to women and dating
and it's looks against inner values
so you want an inner value as well and not just go for the looks
What matter is that she is nice to me
they didn't give me much other advice actually
they're very open in terms of who I wanted to date
My dad says - don't for somebody who
is always angry
and that's because there is a lot of men in Indonesia
that can't really process their emotions as well as we can
We don't have that luxury to
date a lot so they advice us to choose the right person
is like a good girl, or good boy
For guys, find a good girl
and for girls, find a good guy
Kindness, and integrity and generosity
are very valued in the Greek society
With building blocks you get to build whatever you want
so rather than looking at your love life
like a puzzle you have to solve
look at it as a building block you get to build
Dating advice all throughout high school and college
is no boys until you're done school
Don't even look at one. NONE.
I actually didn't receive any dating advice from my parents
which is probably why I'm still single
Well my parents never knew I was dating
it's a thing in Lebanon - we just hide it
with time my dad would always tell me
make sure you never depend on anyone
Always make sure you're independent
and you always have a Plan B because you never know
where life takes you
He said men are like dogs and women are like cats
He's like - play it cool when it comes to women
It didn't make me better with girls, it made me way better with cats though
If the guy can do 25 push ups
you may consider giving him your number
I'm like - OK dad, that's pretty demanding
To never settle for anything less than I deserve
Follow your heart, be true to yourself
and you're beautiful just the way you are
Just don't lie, don't play with feelings
and tell this as is
Study, work, focus on yourself
No boys
And then when you're 30 it's like
Why aren't you married? Where are my grandchildren?
Well, you kept me locked in
Your mother goes to you - listen
be good to the girl, treat her nicely, bring her flowers
you know, be respectful
Here comes your father, he hands you a condom and he says
Be safe, don't get anybody pregnant
after that just good luck and have fun
Yeah no, my parents didn't late me date
So their advice was - don't date
Um. Yeah that was it.
DON'T DATE.
If I have to describe it - it was a washing machine
with too much water in it
It was so horrible that I didn't kiss anyone for a year after that
This is his tongue and this is my tongue
and I don't know what to do so I'm just like there
and it was like.. It was just like attacking.
