    One of the biggest myths about dating is that how soon you choose to have sex impacts the longevity of the relationship. So if you are a woman and you're looking for love, giving it up too early will preclude any possibility of a long-term relationship. Outside of being blatantly slut-shamey, this advice is plain wrong.
