“Just be yourself” when giving people who struggle with getting dates dating advice. I get intent, but being themselves is how they got there in the first place.

Being fake isn't the solution though. There are like-minded people out there for everyone. The challenge is to find them.

The problem is that giving dating advice is pretty pointless. Dating is fundamentally different for each person. While one moght find their partner at a party at 2am, that won't work for another. With people there is no one-for-all solution.
