I'll be straight to the point - dating advice considered harmful.

A lot of dating advice is seemingly more on why "X is better" rather than what you should be actually doing. The well is poisoned and nobody is stopping to think why people die a short amount of time after they drink from it.

No belief pays rent in those cultures, and nobody gets evicted for unpaid debt either.

They're often anti-epistemology and their epistemology covers as much as the emperor's clothes, and any instrumental advice they may have is like a smith handing out unsharpened swords to soldiers.
