While most general rules fall down in certain circumstances, getting your d pawn (or e pawn) stuck on the second rank can leave you in a bad way. In the best case you might lack pressure in the centre, or need a couple of extra moves to develop, while in the worst case, it obstructs your development and leaves a permanent weakness in your position.
As an example here is a game from when I was a lot younger. While White didn't seem interested in moving his d pawn I made sure I moved both my e and d pawns as quickly as possible. It didn't give me a winning position out of the opening, but it did help when my opponent got carried away with his attack and sacrificed more material than was sensible.

As reported by Stanford Medical, It's really the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh 19 kilos less than we do.
(And realistically, it has totally NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and EVERYTHING about "HOW" they eat.)
