She practically told Korra to steal another woman's man if she wants to! I don't have anything against Pema she's cool, but really woman!?

Why not? Well...Korra listened and actually it worked...

I agree with zanhar1.

She never really knew if Mako was taken or not. I think Pema heard only the part about liking him, and even if she heard the whole thing it's kind of difficult to understand whether or not Mako was single (at least from what I remember of the conversation).

Besides she said "Tell him how you feel" which honestly is really good advice. She never said anything about stealing him. She mentioned that she couldn't stand to see Tenzin with a woman who she knew wasn't right for him, and that she spoke her feelings, and he chose her. She never told Korra to steal him or kiss him, she just told Korra to be open and truthful about her feelings. If anything , Korra definitely followed Pema's advice in the worst way possible, but still, the advice itself was sound.

^Yeah, did she even know Mako had Asami? Honestly, if she knew that, she probably would give another piece of advice.

The problem with giving this advice isn't the fact it could make things awkward; the problem is that people MAKE it awkward! Okay, I'll be ABSOLUTELY, 100% honest, I have no friggin' clue how love works and therefore could be missing the point, but if you tell someone you like them, you should just need to say "Great, I like you, too," or, "Sorry, I don't feel that way, I hope you understand," or, "I'm not really sure. You'll have to give me time to think about this." If your love is in a relationship, just sit them down and talk things out. Don't throw drama around like dust in the wind. Just make it clear how you feel, and if that person had a good heart and mind, he/she would know exactly what to say or do.

Like I said, I'll never understand relationships, but as I am now, things could be less awkward if they stuck to being calm and taking things more simply by answering from the heart rather than being like, "Umm...well...I..."

Also, I think Korra took it a bit too far about saying they were "meant to be." All she needed to say was, "I really like you." She got good advice but didn't dish it out quite properly enough to make it appropriate to accept.

I agree with the comments above... It actually was good advice. Pema didn't tell Korra to steal anyone. I think Korra just handled it the wrong way.

I agree with friendsfan101 and xDark_Angelx.

Told someone to go and steal someone's man, to even though if they had someone, to keep going until thry notice yo. The something she did. -_-

I think it was bad advice. I may love Makorra with all my heart but that advice was just messed up XD
