I don't think they're bogus to people who are seeking those kinds of guidelines. To me, those guidelines siphon people into existences where they can become part of the herd and find their mate and live in the suburbs raising 2 and a half kids with a white picket fence and a dog.
I used to think that's what I wanted. Actually, I always knew that I was strange, but for years I kept trying to put my strange square peg into this round hole where I never fit.
