Should single people be allowed to post in relationship threads? Options

[Tung]

I been stalking the relationship forum alot lately, and there's some certain people who "try" to post helpful opinions and thoughts about the situation, when it's obvious they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. These are the people who are single, and never had a gf/bf in their entire life. How can a person who's been single all their life help someone who is asking for help about a problem with his/her gf/bf? They shouldn't, because they never had any experience to actually know what the OP is going through, and it's tiresome and annoying to read such ignorant post by these members. A prime example would be JClore. He's obviously single and never touched a girl in his life, and he's all over the relationship forum like he's some ladie's man who actually knows something.

This isn't member bashing btw, just using an example.

I say if they never been in a relationship or pretty much kinda young/immature to experience a real relationship, they shouldn't give advice. Instead they should just read and maybe learn a lil something.

If they have been in a relation or currently in a relationship where they faced the same scenario, then sure... give us your input.

sometimes single people (even though they're aren't or never have been in relationships) can see things from an unbiased point of view and can give good insight on the things people who are in relationships can't. (it made sense in my head)

Yeh but... if that was the case, how could they give their opinion if they never experienced it or learned from it?

It's like someone askin what's the answer to this specific calculus question and someone who's never experienced or never learned calculus steps in and answers the question; it's sort of impossible to answer without at least learning the equations of calculus in the first place. It just really doesn't make sense to do such a thing.

that's true too. maybe if they're too young, or too immature then they shouldn't be giving input.
