I only take advices from people who are successful in what they are advising on. If a girl pulls great men and knows how to keep them, I'll listen, but if she is lonely and bitter- no thank you.  As far as asking men.. same story... But usually I try to talk to my man first and try to find out whats going on before i go to anybody else.

I wouldn't ask certain women like co-workers, friends of friend, hell even some friends. But I do have a small circle that i've know for 15+ and I can go to them for anything and vise versa and know that they are going to give it to straight no chaser.

I find the best advice comes from those that are in long term relationships or married couples.  Friends will mess u up unintentionally because they are still learning themselves.  Talk to people with wisdom.  Older people that have lived a little will give the best advice.

I agree with SpelGirlC04. I have a circle of 'sista-friends' that are my mother's age and sometimes i talk to my uncle, because he was an origanal playa playa. I really think when you have peers going through the same things as you are they are like the blind leading the blind.

Advice is just that..advice and merely someone else's opinion of what they think about your situation.  You can give me your opinion on what you "think" may be best for me, but I will use my better judgement. However, sometimes it's good to hear someone else's opinions on things just to get a little more clarity about a situation or to find out if this has happen to someone else before and how they dealt with it. It's always nice to get more than 1 opinion or take on things, everyone perceives and deals with things differently and I just wanna hear your take.

 

Like this site for instance, we get advice on here all the time from other women. Should we get advice from strangers? Of course, because I like to see what you think about this, but that doesn't mean I'm going to take your advice.

To answer the question if I haven't already; Yes, we should can get advice from other women but that doesn't mean you have to follow it.

The worse advice I've received has been from single men. The best, from married women. I think the issue is that women don't trust each other anymore (perhaps rightfully so) so we seek out men for answers instead. But if you're having issues within your relationship its probably better to talk to your partner before anyone else.

You can take advice from anyone. Of course you would take advice from someone doing well because you wish to be that as well. But you can take advice from someone who isnt in the best situation.. You can learn what not to do from them. Learn from their mistakes. Sometimes some of my most valuable advice has come from those in bad situations because it shed light on what I DONT want to take place in my life. I agree with Slim G. Advice is nothing but an opinion. In the end the choice is fully up to you

Good read. When I am having trouble in a relationship I usually go straight to the source to figure out where we are going wrong. *shrug* That's just me. I'm really straightforward. I've been told I'm like a man in much of my thinking. lol
