I could list a ton. Tenacity's #2 is a big one. Just work hard is another (without working smart). I don't know that most of mine would necessarily be 'bad' advice, it's just not the secret sauce. Nobody ever gives that out, namely because most people succeed due to luck. Some set of fortunate circumstances led to them getting their break. Of course, you have to have your eyes open to see your break.

I just thought of one. Not quite advice from an elder but the ole "stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about". Used very often by my parents.
That wasn't advice, it was a direct threat.

"trust me. your secret is safe with me. "

"Better the devil you know"

"Just tell her how you feel"

"a good relationship is built on equality. " (I appreciate that there are people who will disagree with this).

"don't take chances. play it safe and think about it for a while"

"buy a renault. They are great cars. "

"take your time before you start dating. "

"don't worry. there is someone special for everyone"
BS. You still gotta be somone worth knowing. This fairytale bs is what gives fat neck beards an excuse to never leave the basement. And there's not just one. If you have good frame there will be more than one.
^This. Even if that ideal person for you DOES exist, what is the probability that you will meet that person? Probably very low.

Yes, especially in the short term.

1. "You have to show how sweet you are. Bring a rose to the first date."

I have to admit, I never actually tried this because the thought made me gag.

2. "Women go more by what they hear than what they see."

And if she doesn't see Chad, her hearing may not work so well.

3. "You'll only last a few seconds your first time."

I went longer than the energizer bunny because I was so nervous that I couldn't "finish" at all.

4. "It's ok to have grey hair at 21. It's distinguished."

I dyed that shyte at 27 and scored at 28.

5. "Take a dance class. Women outnumber men."

The secret is out. It's a sausage fest.

6. "Women love a guy that is handy around the house."

Only your guy friends will enjoy discussing electrical, plumbing, and carpentry. Women have zero interest in that stuff.

7. "Go out on Valentine's Day. Plenty of desperate women are out."

Besides the couples, you'll just see dudes who believe the above lol.

8. "Have female friends. They will hook you up."

Let's get this straight... Some female friend who has you in friendzone (because you aren't a Chad) is going to think you are "perfect" for her gf? Please put down the crack pipe lol.

9. "Pet this dog/cat. He's friendly."

It's gonna bite you.

10. "Buy an old house. These new houses aren't well built."

It will be non-stop repairs. Refer to #6.

The absolute worst advice I ever got was to "confidently persist". "Be sexual" etc. Much of this is so context based it shouldn't be written. Most of the time nexting is the answer and for god sake protect yourself as it's totally unwise to persist with one woman. If it's the wrong woman, it could cost you.

Persisting could also mean chasing.

My cousin recently told me... "you need to talk to this girl and tell her you have kids now. Don't leave her in the dark."

Mind you this is a woman I just had second date with last night... I will bring up kids when she asks...

That's the some solid advice right there. You don't score any points for doing repairs or hanging stuff on walls for women. There are 6 other dudes in her contact list that are ready and willing to come over and help her. Let them do it and get nothing from it. Nice guys finish last here! If it doesn't make the vagina tingle, don't waste your time.

Any variant of "the universe will provide you X, Y, and Z".

Bullsh*t. No it won't. Or it won't in the frequency/timescale that I want it to.

That is the typical female mindset. It comes from wearing make-up, being passive, and waiting for someone with testosterone to do something.
Yeah, I love that one about the "universe". That's become a buzz word for this new age "spirituality" that is a watered down religion which is essentially summed up as "good things come to those who wait".

No, they don't. Not unless you go take them yourself.

"It does not matter what people think of you, as long as you are happy" by a parent

Yer right, not only is this statement very self-centered and selfish it is also wrong, to get ahead in any field of life the opinion of your peers matters a great deal.

Take a co-worker of mine, she is extremly happy in her self, smug even. She is also obese, lazy, useless at her job and annoys the hell out of everyone around her, but what the hell as long as she is happy.. subjective satisfaction without objective evidence is a fools paradise.

Also it ignores the real and very valuable way to shape others views of you, according to how you want them to be shaped.
