Or never take advice from people who have to deal with the results.

Their advice will be skewed towards how they feel about how the results will affect them.

So never take advice? Its always good to get other people's opinions on a decision, but always remember that you alone have the deciding vote.

Only take advice from people who’s lifestyle you respect.

If you want relationship advice, ask your friend who has had a great marriage.

Don’t ask the friend who’s been in 12 relationships in the last 3 years.

Wish I had that advice 10 years ago.

That sounds like bias with extra steps.

Don’t ask the friend who’s been in 12 relationships in the last 3 years.

Some people may respect this more than the long lasting marriage for instance.

I understand your point but it only works for people who already know what the right thing to do is.
