Not my mother. I tried to talk to her about my dating problems in my early 20's, and Mom came up with, "Ask out the fat and ugly girls. They don't have boyfriends."

Needless to say, this "advice" astonished me, and in a bad way. You don't normally expect your mother to express open contempt towards you.

I have a friend who is very sexually experienced. I asked him how he did it and he said, "Lower your standards".
