6 Dating Myths That Is Not True by Highbhee(m): 4:25pm On Jul 05, 2016
1. The myth: Hooking up in college is bad for women. #Not particularly
Hooking up can be “bad” for college women for the same reasons as for any other woman, not just for women in college.
2. The myth: Being smooth is the best way to pick someone up. #Sort of
There’s no need to exaggerate. General social skills and a willingness to risk rejection are definitely a plus when you’re making the first move. However, research suggests that there’s something to be said for making a straightforward approach and simply being your imperfect self.

3. The myth: Opposites attract. #Nope
According to a relationship scientist, Paula, this is just not true. She further cited numerous studies supporting the theory that similarity, not difference in personality, attitudes, values, and the like leads to attraction.
4. The myth: Women should play “hard to get.”
#No
Studies of opposite-sex courtship have shown that men often need encouragement to make an approach, and if a woman is unresponsive or encouraging, he’ll more likely assume she’s just not interested. Research has also shown that men are particularly drawn to women who seem approachable to them, but “hard to get” for other men. It’s also been shown that men tend to be more attracted to women who they perceive are attracted to them.

5. The myth: The first cut is the deepest. #No
The idea here is that our first breakups hurt the most, leave us permanently scarred, and have lasting effects on our future relationships… it turns out, none of those things are true.
6. The myth: Living together before marriage is a good way to determine whether you’re with the right person. #No
Overwhelming evidence suggests that living together before marriage actually predicts divorce.
Why? Relationship scientists call it “the cohabitation effect,” and apparently it’s very real. Research points to a number of theories, including the “inertia factor” that suggests living together before marriage leads some couples to marry who otherwise wouldn’t, because of outside pressures and/or the investment they’ve already made in their relationship.
