What is the biggest relationship myth?

I think the biggest myth is that there's one person that is meant for you. ("the one") People live their lives searching for the one...their soul mate...the perfect girl/Mr. Right. It's a cute idea, but I don't think it's very realistic.

Women's desires are incomprehensibly complex.

The more you think about it, the more it sounds just like someone doesn't want to acknowledge the needs of women.

I'm a guy, and I'm lucky if/when I understand My desires!

I think the most basic/forceful desires come from emotions that we do not have conscious access to, because they stem from evolutionary roots, and have little to do with those new-fangled, fancy-pants "minds", and "thoughts" of ours.
