What a strange title for an article, I write online dating advice so why would I encourage people not to read it?
Clearly I believe there is some good dating advice on the internet or I wouldn’t waste my time writing dating advice and tips but I want people to think about what they are reading and who the author is before they take anything they read as gospel.
Here are 5 things to carefully consider before you take the advice of dating “experts”.
1. Everything written is an opinion from someone with a given history. Just google “article writing+fee” and see how many people in countries like India offer to write articles for website owners for a fee.

Check who is writing the website content, do their articles all sound as though they are written by the same person, are they writing from a personal perspective and if so what is their dating history?
2. The words “expert” and “guru” are over-used and I rarely read advice from anyone...
