"Just be yourself" "You'll find the right one" "The right girl is out there for you"

And a multitude of other things I cannot think of right now. I can recall my mother giving me awful advice on women. What to do, what to say. All the romance BS. I would imagine if they want grandchildren it would be quite the opposite approach. Either this or they are truly delusional about themselves, and have no idea how they or other's think. Either that or it's some conspiracy, which I am not totally convinced is false.

So why is it that our mothers tell us basically the exact opposite of what women want?
