My advice is from real life experience to, and no, you get further when people like you, not push over like you, but like you because you have a strong personality and help them when they need it, because then people are going to help you when you need it. You don't think that's true? Then I feel sorry for you but it is.ExtraDebit said:@artnis_nervar
This is about giving the best advice for the guy in question, it's not moral advice or "lawful good" advice. It's about what the guy should do that he would come out on top.
Don't be naive, the world isn't made up of disney characters, it's a hungry dog eat dog world. Exploit and milk the others dry, one can never lose that way.
You sound like someone that gives "just be yourself" advice. What I'm giving is advice gained from real experience and wisdom gained through trials and tribulation. In life you don't get shit for being a nice guy, you need to be fucking evil, and when I say evil I don't mean being a stupid asshole that try to destroy the world. I mean being like Light Yagami from the Death Note series, pretend to be good and get everyone at your side while secretly exploiting them.
And you didn't give the best advice for them, you gave them advice that has been mired in your negative experiences. Neither of them were asking about sex, the first guy was looking for a real relationship, no one based on lies or meaningless sex. The second guy was asking about a friendship which has no connections to sex at all.
