I'm in a third group of dating advice writers.

I loved and lost, dumped and got dumped, broke hearts and got mine broken, learned from my mistakes, learned about human nature, and finally at age 51, I got married.

I walked in a lot of people’s shoes and have the wisdom to show for it.

Good dating advice isn't set in stone, it's food for thought, and should always be offered with good intentions. Any dating advice that encourages manipulation, toxicity, game-playing or man-hating should be taken with a grain of salt. Most likely it's projection and personal grievances.

Thanks for the article, Isabella!
