Not being mean or anything, just genuinely curious. I know that anyone in a relationship is going to say it's stable, no matter what the reality is, so you can basically treat that as "I don't feel like I'm on the verge of breaking up."
Most of the time a person's problems are so obvious that they probably already know the answer and are just looking for the internet to make the choice for them... So I don't consider it that absurd. But I do find it funny how vehement people can be when they have probably never had to take their own advice before.

I have actually watched porn but didn't feel it was going well enough to jerk off to it. I give a lot of valuable tips in girl problem threads though because I've learned a lot by watching shows as Sex and the City or Turtles.
I have, with 100% accuracy, been able to guess which characters are going to get together in romantic comedies. I might as well be valedictorian of love school
I've been in a relationship before where marriage was a strong consideration. I've also dealt with cheating on both ends, picked up girls, worked at a nightclub, been on a blind date, met a girl off the internet, and dated in general. I am highly interested in human sexuality and although my partner count is low I've been in a (good) relationship long enough that I can say that I've had a lot of interesting sex. Although I am young I think I'm qualified to give dating and relationship advice to younger, more naive posters on TL. I still think I need to date more girls.
i stalk the "girl advice pls" threads because i want to know what kind of advice guys are giving. (lol) before TL i frequented a more girl-dominated (kpop related) forum, where in the "love and relationships" section, girls would ask for help with their guy problems. i'd say the same types of questions are asked in both forums, and the same "common sense" advice is given in return.
i post sometimes because i want to help out (from a girl's pov), and the people who post the threads ask for help because they want reassurance -- at least that's what it seems like to me. so, i give them what they want. i feel like i've have the experience (from my own relationships and from frequenting a girl-dominated forum lol) to be able to give somewhat legitimate advice.
I'm not going to write out my "relationship resume", but I've been around the block a few times. MOST of the advice I give is out of personal experience (since I've made a lot of common mistakes), but there's some topics where I've taken logical shots in the dark.
Personally I enjoy the advice blogs a lot. I was an RA for a freshman hall for three years (been graduated for a year now) and it's one of the biggest aspects of the job I miss. In such a position your advice mainly draws off personal experience, but there are several circumstances where you make a judgment call on something you've never seen before. Therefore, I try and limit my relationship advice to those under 23 so I'm not overstepping my own experiences (or if I am, not that far).
Relationships are always a big topic since many younger college students try their hand at dating, and I always had a good time sharing the lawltastic blunders I've made in the past. At first I was surprised at getting requests for advice every couple weeks (in person), but for 50ish residents a year I suppose that's normal. It wasn't just getting together - I can name several occasions where a resident would be sitting in my room crying over a breakup. Relationship advice was evenly balanced between guys and girls. I will also give girls the prize for telling me the craziest things (like "this guy knocked on my door and asked my roommate to have sex. And they did! It's all YOUR fault!!!).
