For some reason, most men grow up believing in a lot of "myths" about dating that really tends to hold them back from having the kind of success with women that they could and should have. There are many reasons for this, one of which is the grip that pop media culture seems to have on us. Another reason is the weird way in which guys will listen to other guys who really don't know much about what they are talking about, and that usually leads them down the wrong path. Locker room chatter can cause guys to believe that they have no chance at all with women, when the reality is something very different.
Believing in these myths about dating keeps guys from even trying to make any kind of improvement in their dating or social life, and that is a shame. It's a shame because then they do not get to experience life to the fullest, and they are holding themselves back because of false beliefs more than anything else.
Here are 3 myths about dating that I want to bust open right now:
Dating Myth Number One - Women only want the guys with the huge muscles.
This one is really funny to me, and I know lots of guys that truly believe this. Take a look at your average advertisement targeted to women that uses a male model. Pick up a woman's magazine and have a look at what you will see. The guy will be fit for sure, but he won't be the kind of 230 pound gym freak that guys think that women like. Why is this valid? Because advertisers test and test what women respond to and give them what they want. If women really wanted the huge muscular guys and that was what they responded to... that would be what you would see in the ads. You don't. You see lean, muscular guys more than anything else. And just about any guy can attain that physique if they want.
Dating Myth Number Two - Women want guys that have the best cars.
This is more true if you want to impress other guys than it is if you want to impress women. When I was a little younger, all my friends had much better cars than I did. I mean, much better. Mustangs, Camaros, brand new Acuras. I had a 15 year old Volvo. And I did much better with women than they did. Like a LOT better. It wasn't the car at all. It was the guy in the car. It was always funny to see my buds with the $ 25,000 car drive home by themselves and me and my $ 1000 hooptie ride home with a couple of women in it along with me of course. Don't think that you have to possess a certain car to do well with women. It's not the car, it's the guy IN the car that matters most.
Dating Myth Number Three - Only losers go on online dating sites.
Luckily, this is one myth that is slowly starting to crack open. For most guys, the only places that they try and meet women are the usual bars and clubs. Well, do you think a lot of attractive, college educated professional women go out to get bombed on the weekend? Some do, most do not. So, where do THEY go? Many times, they try out the online dating scene. If you want to attract a good looking woman with a full time job, her own life, and a woman who can handle her responsibilities, online dating can be GREAT.
