Theoretically, dating ought to be the easiest thing ever. Simply be yourself, and the person of your dreams will appear in your life unexpectedly!

However, as we are all aware, we frequently overcomplicate things, partly due to the awful advice that some magazines publish on the subject. Cosmopolitan magazine has been a mainstay on newsstands for many years, providing readers with a seductive blend of love, beauty, and fashion advice.

It is no secret, though, that Cosmo's dating and sex advice has frequently drawn sharp criticism and spirited discussion. We're going to open a Pandora's box of startling recommendations, dubious advise, and bizarre suggestions that have left readers perplexed as we delve into the wealth of relationship knowledge that Cosmopolitan has disseminated over the years.

This is where the r/StuffCosmoSays reddit community steps in. There, people exchange the most insane advice they have ever seen in the magazine.

Below, we've compiled a list of some of the most absurd dating and relationship tips anyone has ever seen. We would suggest avoiding any of these suggestions if you're looking for the love of your life.

But go ahead and scroll down if you want to laugh and view some pictures that can make you lose hope in humanity!

3. It's actually a thing

4. Contradictions

5. Role playing as clowns

6. Connecting on a deeper level

7. What the heck is this?

You may be surprised to learn that people who are getting paid to disseminate this kind of advice are genuinely in committed, happy relationships. On the other hand, you might not be as shocked if you've ever gone on a bad date.

Maybe the person you went to dinner with after meeting on Tinder discovered that it could be a good idea to start ordering for you from one of these dubious periodicals or to start stroking your feet under the table. Fortunately, this subreddit offers us the opportunity to laugh at "all the worst from the world's most dangerous sex and relationship advice."
