About 10 years ago, the concept of a dating coach hit the mainstream. These dating coaches were specifically meant to help people create social lifestyles, gain confidence, and find consistent success in their romantic endeavors. Sadly, the barrier of entry was low and the potential return on investment was high. You didn’t need credibility or a PhD, you just needed an audience willing to listen. The industry attracted a lot of less-than-stellar characters and the reputation of a dating coach was quickly tarnished. Now when people hear the phrase “dating coach” they instantly think…

POF Landing Pages, NYT Takeover
Online Dating Insider16 May 2013 | 12:01 pmI cannot view a single article on today’s New York Time’s without seeing this six-year-old POF ad. Talk about a takeover. Check out the landing page, very un-POF in terms of style. Looks nice. Two things jumped out at me. First, they claim that 30% of everyone on the web has a dating profile. I cannot believe that number, where did that come from? Second, look at the signup form. They go against the usual behavior of asking for 1-3 fields and then asking for more on the next page. Love to know what the conversion rate for this is. -
Tinder Is Like Pandora For Hooking Up
Online Personals Watch: News on the Dating Industry and Business18 May 2013 | 6:27 amLA WEEKLY - May 17 - On Tinder app users anonymously reject others almost solely based on their profile pictures. They can also initiate conversation with only those they're actually interested in, under the condition that the interest is mutual. There are no personal statements, compatibility quizzes or rating systems. Since launching Tinder in September 2012 with CEO and fellow USC alum Sean Rad, Justin Mateen says the app has made~40M matches and eight marriage proposals. Tinder's four co-founders are all in their mid-to-late 20s and collectively hold bachelor's degrees in business and… -
Lower Standards
Simone Grant3 May 2013 | 6:18 amI don’t get out much anymore. I try. I make plans and then, well, half the time I’m unable to keep my plans. So I don’t make many plans… One night last week, I made it out to a party, with a friend. We got there late… not that that matters to this story. We were there for about 5 minutes when the douchebags swept in. The guys every woman dreads. Drunk, arrogant and aggressive. You know the type. Nothing wrong with them physically. Actually not bad looking. Just assholes. I was polite for as long as I could be, then escaped to a conversation with someone who… -

Marry Young? That's What This Young Bride Suggests
18 May 2013 | 12:01 pmLike Julia Shaw, the twentysomething author of a Slate article published in April, I married young -- a lot younger than my peers. I was 19 years old and a new college graduate when I married Jeff, my college boyfriend, who was one month shy of 22. It seems so young today. In truth, it seemed young even then. And now we're about to celebrate our 40th anniversary.read more -

Guys would you buy any of those magazines (based on their cover)
18 May 2013 | 1:16 pmI found this website link that showed covers of old men magazines . From todays perspective they are ridicoulous. They're being attacked by turtles,lobsters,monkeys, rodents and who knows what else. The headlines were also quite a bit different from today. I really can't believe anyone though they were appealing. So guys can you imagine seeing one of those in the store and buying them? -
What's the chance of this actually working out?
18 May 2013 | 1:13 pmLong story short, my boyfriend just got a fulbright scholarship and is moving abroad for close to a year (starting at the end of this summer). Despite being happy for his accomplishment and proud of all his hard work, I'm totally devastated that he is leaving for so long. Now, I have a lot of faith in our relationship. We've been dating for a year and I've never been more in love with anyone in my entire life. Prior to finding out about the scholarship we were discussing moving in together, and really starting our lives as a solid couple. We've even discussed marriage as a very real… -

When do you decide to end a friendship when the person asks you not to?

He talks to me if I talk to him, but never seeks me out. Ideas for me? -

Reasons To See The Great Gatsby

Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, The Great Gatsby. The book was adapted for the big screen once before, in 1974, starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, but the 2013 version is sure to be unique. The film remains true to its original plot, but the actual visuals and mix-posh movie score give The Great Gatsby a new one-of-a-kind twist. For film critics attached to traditional depictions, there will likely be outcry about how… -
Jake Gyllenhaal: What Makes Him Irresistible?
8 May 2013 | 7:08 amJake Gyllenhaal is irresistible. It’s a non-disputable fact, proven by my scientific poll taken at the supermarket checkout line. 93% of female shoppers in the express lane said Jake is perfect. The only dissenting voice was a two-year-old who was crying for candy. Still, with age comes wisdom. Jake is the perfect male. That Physique That Jake is perfect is not based on opinion. Take a look at any picture of him in a tight t-shirt. Seriously, can you find a single flaw? I didn’t think so, which makes me wonder what Reese Witherspoon was thinking when she dumped him. Anyway, Jake… -

Finding Mr. Right in the wrong package
18 May 2013 | 1:22 pmAfter dating for a while, you refine what you want and don’t want in your next relationship. Your criteria get clearer and you get more certain about what will make you happy. Often these criteria include a person’s physical characteristics like height, or location or age range. I have clarified my criteria over the years and now rarely deviate from them. But every once in a while a man enters the scene who doesn’t meet one of my must-haves. Perhaps he’s an inch shorter than me so I relax my “must be at least my height” rule. Or perhaps he lives beyond an… -
A decade of freedom
18 Apr 2013 | 1:06 amTen years ago today my husband of 20 years announced he didn’t want to be married anymore. I took it hard. I now call that day “The Great Awakening.” It’s amazing how much one can grow in a decade if one is willing to accept what is and not be bitter. I admit it took me a while to see the dissolution of my marriage as a blessing, but it is. I have subsequently met interesting people and traveled without an anchor. I have embraced opportunities I wouldn’t have if I’d still been married. And I’ve learned a lot about myself. Every negative experience in… -
ISO millionaires
17 Apr 2013 | 10:31 amIt seems that everyone dreams of winning the lottery, imagining all the things they’d do, buy, or donate to if they became a millionaire. In fact, some women (and men) blatantly say that they want to marry a millionaire. So imagine my delight upon entering the cafe/bakery in Cape Town yesterday to see a sign saying, “We have millionaires.” I thought, “At last, I’ve found where they hide!” I wondered if I could order one to spec: tall, nice looking, good sense of humor, loves to travel, kind, generous and adoring (of me!). I then found a second sign:… -
Is he a giver or a taker?
8 Apr 2013 | 12:35 amYou can tell a lot about a person by how generous he is not only with money, but with effort and spirit. Sometimes a person can be generous with words of acknowledgement but nothing else. Sometimes it’s the reverse. A man I started to date 4 years ago moved into the friend zone after a couple of dates when I started seriously dating another man. We got along well and I enjoyed his intellect and humor so asked if we could remain friends. He agreed. We’ve kept in touch, seeing each other a handful of times a year for dinner or he’ll ask to stay in my guest room when he has a… -
The non-breakup break up

My gal pal kept telling me what a nice guy he was — very thoughtful bringing her little presents every time he saw her. They became intimate early on. She liked him and enjoyed his company, but wasn’t smitten by him. But in the last month she’s been questioning his long-term potential. She doesn’t really like some of his decisions, which she considers short sighted and if they were to be together in a few years, the outcomes of these decisions would have an effect on their life…

How do you let go? On shared custody.
20 Feb 2013 | 5:29 pmOne of the most challenging aspects of single motherhood, or single parenthood, is adjusting to shared custody.In many cases, as mine was until recently, you are legally obligated to send your child into your ex-spouse’s home regardless of whether or not your gut instinct is screaming at you that something is just “not right” about a step-sibling in the house or a step-parent or even their biological parent. You, in most cases, have to pack your child’s bag, put him into his or her little car seat and drive them directly into the Lion’s Den. Your child comes… -

Free Sex Advice: There’s Nothing Wrong with You
14 May 2013 | 5:50 amWhether it’s too much sex, too little sex or the gamut of relationships problems, if I take all the questions I’ve ever been asked, most boil down to this: “Is there something wrong with me?” The answer, of course, is no. Caveat: If something about your sex or relationships with consenting adults impaires everyday functioning, seek counseling because there may be identifiable tweaks you can make to function more effectively. That aside, because you aren’t “broken,” I can’t “fix” you. What I can do is help you frame issues a certain… -

Why Doesn't He Want To Be My Boyfriend?

It's a difficult question for me to answer, because there are so many variables. Still, it's a question that many women ask, although it usually comes across like this: Why doesn't he love me? Why won't he stop dating other women? He's acting like we are in a relationship, but refuses to call me his girlfriend. Every time I ask him about our relationship status, he avoids me or gets angry. Why am I not good enough for him? Seriously, those comments and questions are culled from… -
How Long Should I Wait for a Date?

I even gave him my cell phone, and he does not call, but emails me everyday. Help?" Diane, I'm really surprised that you've kept hanging on this long without a date, so let's come at this from a different perspective. If you meet a guy and you're interested in getting to know him better, can you think of any logical and reasonable reason why you'd… -
Would You Erase the Memories of a Painful Breakup?

From drugs that specifically target certain memories, to behavioral changes that help sufferers to cope with traumatic past experiences, to "disarmed" viruses that focus on derailing the neural networks holding negative associations, there's a whole host of new procedures, experiments and treatments currently under… -

I had one from speak-live.com which transfers into a sex website (porn pics, etc.) and I never have been on one of these in my life! My boyfriend, on the other hand, has in the past. I am afraid my boyfriend is lying to me." My first reaction was to ask the reader for more information to clarify… -
What Do You Think When You See '420 Friendly' On a Dating Profile?
6 May 2013 | 7:34 amI've had a few folks ask me variations of this question of late, so I thought it was high time (excuse the pun) to discuss it here. When someone you're dating, or, someone you're talking to via an online dating site, mentions that they're "420 friendly," what do you say? Does it matter to you? For some folks, it's a non-issue. I've talked to many who don't see smoking marijuana as a problem, or who would rather date a person who already approves of their choice. In my neck of the woods, '420' commonly appears in dating site profiles, and I've had quite a few folks tell me they're uninterested…

ISLAM: THAT SLAVE RELIGION - May 19,2013
18 May 2013 | 5:00 pmYou may be jovial with them at work, show kindness to them as neighbors, or team-project with them at school, but Christians and Muslims should never marry, nor allow their relationships to even become as intimate friends.

Finding A Girl To Date For Your Prom
16 Feb 2013 | 7:53 amAll of us have our own crushes in school. That would be the person that we most admire, the person who inspire us to go to school early, to do good in school, and the person who makes our day.

The Hard Task Of Finding A Girl To Date
13 Dec 2012 | 12:39 amFinding a girl to date is easy but finding a good girl is a different story. In this dating world, it is sometimes tough to find that you can just take home to introduce to your parents. You may even come across a girl that does not want any commitment at all. During times like this, you need to consider that probably you are looking in all in the wrong place. You simply can’t expect to get a good girl when you are in a place that seems to be filthy. While, it is true that there are still chances of meeting good girls in a bar or club yet this is s a seemingly remote possibility. It is very…

Tinder Is Like Pandora For Hooking Up
18 May 2013 | 6:27 amLA WEEKLY - May 17 - On Tinder app users anonymously reject others almost solely based on their profile pictures. They can also initiate conversation with only those they're actually interested in, under the condition that the interest is mutual.

Tinder's four co-founders are all in their mid-to-late 20s and collectively hold bachelor's degrees in business and… -

Lulu: App For Trashing Your Ex

Lulu uses men's Facebook pages to create a profile and invites users to compile info on everything about the guy. Men reviewed have little access to reply due to being locked out of the app, even though there is a limited accompanying app that lets them edit their basic profile.

Assumptions Are For Amateurs
14 May 2013 | 5:52 pmFinding out > Guessing > Assuming Assumptions are for amateurs. Guessing is for the inquisitive. Finding out (research) is a skill of successful people. One of the best skills I’ve gained from being a coach/therapist, is the skill of ‘not assuming’. Working with my clients, I have a knack for diving deep to get the closest to client’s intention and meaning to be able to really lift them forward. Whether it’s in business or life, the worst thing you can do is assume. Assumptions are sealed thoughts without referencing checking if it’s true. And acting upon… -

POF Landing Pages, NYT Takeover
16 May 2013 | 12:01 pmI cannot view a single article on today’s New York Time’s without seeing this six-year-old POF ad. Talk about a takeover. Check out the landing page, very un-POF in terms of style. Looks nice. Two things jumped out at me. First, they claim that 30% of everyone on the web has a dating profile. I cannot believe that number, where did that come from? Second, look at the signup form. They go against the usual behavior of asking for 1-3 fields and then asking for more on the next page. Love to know what the conversion rate for this is. -
Dating Ad Mega-Redirects Lead To Trust Fail
16 May 2013 | 11:39 amToday I saw a Facebook ad for a dating site called It’s Just Karma. As a Redditor, I had to check it out. The click led to a generic landing page with no dating site branding. Lot’s of lead-generation companies do this, they take the click and redirect it to their customers, often based on the results of a few questions asked on the page. In this case, the second click led me to a site called Just Smoking Singles, with a photo of a woman with a big fat stogie talking to a guy. No questions were asked of me at any time. I was expecting some sort of new-age site with a woman doing… -
Analyst Commentary On Spark Networks
13 May 2013 | 3:09 pmOver the weekend I wrote Investor Thinks Spark Networks Is The Next Netflix. An analyst at Insider Monkey had to say this about the original post. So, I believe there are obvious secular tailwinds benefiting online dating companies. Yet, Tilson’s argument for Spark Networks falls flat based on one of his basic premises. Tilson argues that JDate is an established business that offers consistent cash flow; meanwhile, Christian Mingle offers great growth. Yet Tilson vastly exaggerates Christian Mingle’s potential. Specifically, he states that Christian Mingle is aimed at a community over… -

I Love Love Love When He's Not Creepy About Being Into Pop Culture Bullshit
13 May 2013 | 2:07 pmFrom Dana, who'd prefer if he'd put the issue of Us Weekly down: It’s no secret I’m a pop culture junkie. So when a guy can make a sly pop culture reference, I start rubbernecking. Do you casually ask people named Ben, Jack or Sawyer how they got off the island? Do you see an older woman out with her son and call her as Mrs. Bates? Do you dig discussions about Rubber Man, Bloody Face, and Jessica Lange? If so, I volunteer as tribute! But please don’t call yourself Sean Lowe when the bar is full of ladies. Sorry, but I don't want my guy to know any contestants of "The… -

My first date assessment wasn’t blinded by the shots of tequila I had “for my nerrrrves darling” or the dim lighting of the restaurant. This guy was full-on attractive.

Sports = guaranteed free time away from my boo. Hockey and baseball can be tricky because there seems to be a game on like every day. Still, I’d rather he watch the games with his friends, so he's not all up in my business. Football is the best because it’s a whole day of not hanging out with each other after brunch. I used to date this guy who always watched the Steelers game with his fellow Pittsburghians every…

Why Do Men Prefer Younger Women?
16 May 2013 | 10:26 pmGrowing up they always told us that older men preferred younger women. We came up with answers for why this may happen; maybe it was because they kept their looks or maybe it was because younger women didn’t have all the baggage of older women. Being a young gunner in the game, I dated older women and it didn’t much matter to me what their age was. That was until one day it became clear; I understood why men dated younger women. It didn’t have anything to do with their looks or their lack of baggage for me, it had to do with trust. Yes, trust. I recently told myself that I don’t think… -

For us, many of his lyrics have come to represent the millennial’s cross between W.E.B, Dubois’ Souls of Black Folk and Sun Xu’s Art of War. -

Chemistry.com Free Weekend – May 10th to May 12th 2013
9 May 2013 | 3:53 amChemistry.com is having a free communication weekend starting Friday, May 10th and running until the end of the day on Sunday, May 12th 2013. Chemistry.com is one of two services that I generally see free weekends for (there may be more but if so I’m unaware of them). Recently, Chemistry has been having fewer free events but one nice thing is their free weekends tend to let you try all of the features of their dating service. Free events from other dating services tend to limit some of the features on the free weekends. If you’re not familiar with Chemistry.com, it’s a… -

Online dating has potential for really helping people connect and making them happier. However, as with most things there are people out there that want to use things like online dating improperly in attempts to hurt people or further their own interests. This practice has become known as “catfishing” and it is becoming a real problem within the online dating community. The dangers of catfishing and its threats are prevalent and if you want… -
How to Know She is Flirting with You
21 Apr 2013 | 5:14 pmHave you ever wondered if she is flirting with you? Giving advice here around online dating, I know that when meeting using the internet, there’s often a lot of mystery around what type of connection there is until you actually meet in person.

There are flirting signs to be on the look-out for that will help you have more confidence as you determine if you both want to move the relationship to something more than “just chatting online”.

How Latin Dating Differs
20 Apr 2013 | 2:50 pmIf you’ve ever had the pleasure of dating Latin men or Hispanic women, I have no doubt they left a lasting impression on you. Going Latin has its fair share of differences when compared to dating people of other heritages, most of which can be owed to differences in culture. Traditional Latin culture tends to be traditional and unwavering, while American culture tends to be more fluid and lenient. These quirky little cultural differences have a notable effect on dating that should be considered before giving Latin dating a whirl. Coming from personal experience, I can tell you that the… -

How to Meet Hot & Sexy Women While Jogging
15 May 2013 | 6:18 pmJogging is a fantastic way to meet women and besides that, it's good for your health, mind and bod¬y. Pick out a jogging area and start running on a regular basis. By observation, you will notice women that arrive each day at the same place and around the same time. Jogging trails and parks are wonderful for unhurried seduction, because you're going to see her again and again, so you can work on her a little at a time. During the week the women are usually out between 6 and 8 AM, around noon, and between 5 and 8 PM. Weekends are usually best because you will see them jogging throughout the… -
How to Meet Women by Asking for Help
12 May 2013 | 1:33 pmThe oldest, and still perhaps the best, tactic in existence to meet women is to ask for help. You can ask for directions (this is good because if you ask about a place along the way she is walking, you can walk with her). You can ask for other types of advice, like where you could buy some particular item. If you are very impressed by the dress (or shoes) she is wearing, ask her where she bought it. Or ask about women's clothing details (you are buying something for your mother, sister, or a friend). You can probably think of many other ways to ask for help. The only problem is that having… -
A Great Way to Meet Women at Swimming Pools
7 May 2013 | 4:10 pmA friend was having a party, and the day before the party, he went to a neighborhood swimming pool to try to find some friends to let them know about it. While there, he sat down to talk to someone he knew and noticed a very attractive girl who he had been trying to meet for some time. After a while, the girl and two friends got up from their chairs and went to swim laps. He got a piece of paper and wrote: "Party Friday Night, Drinks are Free, Bring Something to Eat, (His Phone Number), Call for Directions." He put the note on her chair and left the pool. Sure enough, he got a call that… -
You Really Need to Try These Pick Up Lines to Pick Up Topless Dancers
5 May 2013 | 7:37 pm1. If you're with two topless dancers, ask them how did they get to know each other? 2. "Do you even get nervous when you're up on stage?" 3. "Is this your only job?" 4. "Where do you like to shop for clothes?" 5. "Where do you like to go on vacation?" 6. "What's your favorite romantic restaurant...Where is it located?" (Later you can ask her to meet you there for a lunch or dinner for your first date). 7. "Are you having a pretty good night?" 8. "What kind of man are you attracted to?" (Her answer can give you a clue on how to act around her to get her interested in you). 9. "Where did you… -
The Best Way to Meet Hot Women on the Tennis Courts
29 Apr 2013 | 7:10 pmTake a look around at the tennis courts. What will you see? Plenty of women. That's what. Tennis is very popular and attracts a lot of women. Lots of women go to the tennis courts to meet men. Perhaps not openly, but subconsciously. Tennis is a one-on-one sport and this allows for a lot of mental concentration between you. It sure is a good way of getting to know someone. Just the two of you having fun together. What's good too is that after you have played a match, it's quite natural to cool off and talk to each other and perhaps go and have a drink or get a bite to eat. How do you approach…

Stop worrying.
10 May 2013 | 8:10 amNew Answer - If you trust her, why are you worried about this situation? I think you're overthinking things. Going out to eat with a group of friends is not worthy of jealousy, even if an ex is among the group, even if she didn't tell you where she'd be going. Does she have to tell you whenever she does anything social? Personally, I would start thinking about dumping a boyfriend if he were so jealous that I had to tell him whenever I interacted with an ex. You say you trust her, so do it. There can be bits of doubt and jealousy in every relationship, but in good, lasting relationships,… -
Wrong place to ask.
10 May 2013 | 7:57 amNew Answer - These are questions you ask a doctor, not some strangers on the internet. A UTI is no big deal. See a doctor and get some antibiotics for it, if it is in fact a UTI. You could have probably asked someone at that clinic you went to for the pills and tests. Mature adults should not me so shy about asking a medical professional about their sexual health in person that they chicken out and ask strangers on the internet instead. -
Not worth worrying about.
10 May 2013 | 7:52 amNew Answer - I'm a graduate student who teaches undergraduates, and I can totally see why this situation might be awkward. There can be serious consequences for teachers who are suspected of inappropriate relationships with their students. Even if nothing goes on, you don't want anybody to even suspect that something might be going on. I never received gifts from my students, but I would have felt very awkward about it if someone wanted to stop by and give me something in front of my colleagues. Plus, who knows what his summer plans were. Maybe he's not really proud of what he's planning to… -

We are not close but not strangers either, just havent talked much throughout the year except for the past few weeks. I came down to his office to give him a gift, which wasn't a surprise because i told him about it. All his co-workers were dere so we weren't alone. We were just talking about things, then I asked "(his name), what you're gonna do this summer?" to which he replied "hmm...i dont know..i dont have any plan..." while looking away, at his coworker and not at me.

Relationship Advice
7 May 2013 | 5:19 pmNew Question - My girlfriend of 5 months has recently been going over to her ex-boyfriend's apartment to visit "their" cats (there are 2 cats). The reason I say "their" is because although they adopted them together, her ex will not let her take one of the cats or take turns taking care of the cats which is the reason why she goes and visits them. I can appreciate how hard it is to never see a pet again that you have raised and was one of your own because I have gone through a similar situation with my ex-girlfriend and her's and my dog. I trust my girlfriend because she hasn't given me a…

Lower Standards
3 May 2013 | 6:18 amI don’t get out much anymore. I try. I make plans and then, well, half the time I’m unable to keep my plans. So I don’t make many plans… One night last week, I made it out to a party, with a friend. We got there late… not that that matters to this story. We were there for about 5 minutes when the douchebags swept in. The guys every woman dreads. Drunk, arrogant and aggressive. You know the type. Nothing wrong with them physically. Actually not bad looking. Just assholes. I was polite for as long as I could be, then escaped to a conversation with someone who… -
One Reason
1 May 2013 | 6:25 amSo I was writing something this morning. In my kind-of journal. And I found myself writing, “…the reason…” as if I could KNOW the reason why anyone has ever done anything.

Either way, it would be wrong to say I’m turning over a new leaf or re-committing to this. One day at a time. Oh, and I’m shutting down comments for this post. Maybe for all future posts? If you’re happy to see this new post, awesome. There are lots of ways for you to get in touch, if you like. But I gotta be honest about the fact that I no longer pay attention to comments. It’s just too much. And part of… -
The Middle Ages
3 Jan 2013 | 3:27 pmI am 42. Forty fucking two. Sometimes I have to check myself, do the math. I was born in 1970 and it’s 2012 2013… so I must be 42. As unreal as that seems. I’ve been having MAJOR issues lately, re my age and aging. Each trip to the bathroom is stressful, as I’m forced to look in the mirror and see my unfamiliar face. I don’t recognize that old-looking woman in the mirror. She looks a little like my mother. But otherwise, she seems entirely foreign to me. A bad joke. Lately, I’ve been strangely(or maybe not so strangely) drawn to pictures of myself. Not…

Disappointment
9 May 2013 | 11:58 amAt the beginning of every relationship, there is a high level of hope and desire that causes it to run on autopilot. But over time hope and desire begin to erode when disappointment enters. There are dozens of ways we can disappoint one another in a relationship as close and intimate as marriage. From I thought it would be different to actual differences in upbringing, values, habits about money, personality, motivation, work ethic, and sex drives, we have the makings of marriage wars. Sometimes people come across offensively because they are reacting to pain from the hurts that they… -
Idol of Happiness – Part 2
23 Apr 2013 | 2:14 pmLast time we began looking at the Idol of Happiness in Part 1. I discussed how often people won’t do the right things in life simply because those things don’t make them happy. It’s common in our culture for believers to mistakenly believe the notion that “God doesn’t want me to be unhappy.” This is especially true in marriage. For many Christians, marriage has some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card attached to it. They seem to think the radical, difficult parts of Christianity (to love, to serve, to forgive, or to sacrifice, pertain only to those outside of one’s… -
Idol of Happiness – Part 1
10 Apr 2013 | 1:12 pmMany Christians have turned happiness into an idol. I’m not suggesting God is against us being happy. The Scriptures say, “Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.” So when does happiness become an idol? It happens when we exalt our concern to be happy above the very concerns of God himself. We live in a culture that says, “Above all else be happy; do what you want to do; satisfy yourself; look out for number one; do your own thing.” The Bible teaches that the husband should love his wife. We reason, No problem—as long as it doesn’t interfere with my golf game, my… -
The Divorce Myth Part 2
28 Mar 2013 | 6:04 amLast time I began talking about the great myth that far too many couples believe when it comes to divorce. Here is the link to Part 1, if you missed it. Many people start out thinking that married life will be complete, total, unending bliss. That the person they married will forever make them happy…after all, isn’t that what the “happily ever after” is all about? It doesn’t take long to figure out that only in fairy tales…and chick flicks… does that concept exist. Marriage was a God-idea in the beginning. The Genesis narrative reads, “A man will leave his father and mother… -
The Divorce Myth Part 1
11 Mar 2013 | 12:22 pmThere is a great joy to the early struggles of marriage. When people who “make it” talk about the early days of their marriage, they admit it was bittersweet but they say the sweet ended up outweighing the bitter. Researchers agree. In a recent study conducted by a team of leading family scholars headed by University of Chicago sociologist Linda Waite, researchers found that “two-thirds of unhappily married spouses who stayed married reported that their marriages were happy five years later. In addition, the most unhappy in their marriages reported the most dramatic turnarounds:…

What Most Dating Coaches Will Never Admit
9 May 2013 | 9:01 pmAbout 10 years ago, the concept of a dating coach hit the mainstream. These dating coaches were specifically meant to help people create social lifestyles, gain confidence, and find consistent success in their romantic endeavors. Sadly, the barrier of entry was low and the potential return on investment was high. You didn’t need credibility or a PhD, you just needed an audience willing to listen. The industry attracted a lot of less-than-stellar characters and the reputation of a dating coach was quickly tarnished. Now when people hear the phrase “dating coach” they instantly think… -
Study Confirms That Any Man Can Date Beautiful Women
30 Apr 2013 | 9:01 pmI’m sorry everyone, this study does not actually exist — yet. But my goal is to explain how it could be done and to examine the lasting impact it could make. Spending last week in Vegas made me think about how much money some people have. Everything there is absurdly over-the-top. From the lavish buildings at each corner to people dropping thousands on a table without hesitation — the amount of wealth is staggering. Which got me wondering… What kind of social experiments could I perform if I was super rich? I believe that most men who complain about their lack of… -
What Ethan Hawke Can Teach You About First Dates

It’s the third installment of one of the greatest romance stories of all time. But what makes these movies so great? Unlike many sappy, unrealistic portrayals of dating, they’re movies that you can actually relate to and gain insight from. Ethan Hawke (Jesse) sees Julie Deply (Céline) on a train to Vienna. He strikes up a casual conversation that turns into an incredible connection spanning over one day together. There’s no action, no special effects, no crazy antics — just… -
How to Turn Shame Into Confidence

In this article, I want to examine her findings on shame and apply it to the struggles men face in their dating lives.

The Biggest Mistake Guys Make When Entering a Relationship
7 Apr 2013 | 9:01 pmRelationships, even casual ones, shouldn’t be thought of as a “game” to be won. You should be forging a real connection between two human beings. I’ve watched too many men stumble onto dating or self-improvement advice and see it as a temporary solution. They think “Oh cool, I’m going to learn some tricks and techniques to get a woman.” They read some tips, apply them in the real world, and find a girl they like. Then they think, “Victory! I did it. She’s hooking up with me, my work is done.” They mistake their previous insights as a quick means to land a girl and not…

Newlywed Travels Solo For A Year — Could You (& Should You) Do It?
15 May 2013 | 8:49 amIs it smart to go galavanting around the world when you’ve just tied the knot? Fourth months in to her marriage, Maggie Downs was having trouble connecting with her husband. No, they weren’t having emotional problems so soon, but they were literally having trouble communicating: the connection from her hostel in Cape Town was horrific. But why was she in South Africa solo just four months into wedded bliss? Downs, a Palm Springs, California-based writer, had to decided to embark on a year-long around-the-world travel adventure.

Buddy Cups: A Fun New Way To Date Or Stalker Central?

Becoming Facebook friends with someone is now as easy as one, two, three – CHEERS! – thanks to a new invention from Budweiser called the “Buddy Cup.” But is that a good thing? Here’s how it works: the beer company’s Brazilian branch invented these digitalized dating tools using a “bump sensor” chip that directly connects to your Facebook account. A QR code on the bottom of the cup syncs up with the Budweiser app, which automatically links to your page. Any time you cheers someone else, voila! You’re FB… -

Not only do I think his airlines are the best on the market — Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America for those who happen to be living under a rock — but the man is actually instrumentally about to help single flyers on his flights (and no, I do not mean he wants you to join the mile high club). This past Monday, April 22, the 62-year-old British billionaire not only launched service between Los Angeles’ LAX and Las Vegas’ McCarren airports (hallelujah!), but he also debuted his very cheeky ‘Get Lucky’ program.

Is Allowing Your Man to Stray the Secret to Relationship Success?
18 Apr 2013 | 11:06 amI don’t freakin’ think so! Are we really meant to be with one person for the rest of our lives? Is monogamy possible? I’d like to think so. But one British couple claims to have found the secret to relationship success: and that is letting the man in question satisfy his sexual urges with other women while returning to the marital bed at night. Say what now? Grahame Tamsett, 67, and his wife, Sandra, have been together for 25 years. As per every old wives tale, she has become increasingly disinterested in any sort of sexual shenanigans over time. He, however, has not.

INTEGRITY in a Break up
13 May 2013 | 1:04 pmA little over a year ago, I left a long-term relationship. I could have written a note. I could have sent an email. I could have left a post-it on the fridge. Instead, I wrote a three-page letter, which I read to him with tears streaming down my face as I explained how he had disappointed me, how he had not respected me, how he said I was his everything, yet treated me like I was nothing but a burden. By the end of the break-up conversation, it was a mutual agreement that we couldn’t go on. He could not/would not give me what I needed, and so I had to leave. We agreed to be friends and… -
And the winner is...

To quote Sally Fields, "You like me, you really like me." I've had tremendous fun writing my blog and entertaining you with my dating stories, anecdotes, and advice, but it doesn't put food on my table.

It’s Complicated
23 Jun 2012 | 12:02 amOr, is it? There’s nothing complicated about relationships that work. They’re filled with love, respect, trust, sugar and spice and everything nice that makes you happy to be in a relationship. If your relationship status on Facebook says “It’s Complicated” it’s really pretty easy. It means you have a shitty boyfriend or that you’re dating someone who’s married—which, by the way, means you have a shitty boyfriend, because he’s someone else’s spouse and he isn’t respecting either of you by dipping his proverbial toe (or… -

16 Jun 2012 | 12:01 amShould your boyfriend only eyes for you? Should he behave like a horse with blinders on? If you get upset when he looks at another woman, maybe it’s your problem and not his. You should be confident that your man wants to be with you, that he wants to have sex with you, and that he’s completely turned on by you. So what if he casts a glance at another woman? We are ALL visual creatures—both men and women. If we weren’t there’d be no need for advertising which preys on our visual senses as do the products marketed by advertising (just look at how sexy the new… -
Jealousy Will Get You Nowhere
9 Jun 2012 | 12:02 amThe other day at Pilates I overheard two women talking about a mutual friend who was more fortunate than they were. Let’s call her Sally, for argument sake. Everything they said about Sally was a criticism. "Most of the time she didn't mention it, but occasionally she slipped up,” one of them said. Really? Slipped up? Like it’s some kind of flaw for to speak of her fortunate life? Is there some unwritten rulebook that says Sally is supposed to hide her lifestyle or apologize for the money either she or her husband earned or inherited? Ladies, please grow up! Apparently,…

Crowd Sourced Blog! What do You Want to Read/Watch?!
14 May 2013 | 9:57 amYoyoyoyo! This might appear to be one of those articles that a blogger writes about when they run out of content, and cheaply ask their reader base what to write about, but trust me, I have an endless stream of things to write/blog about. It’s funny, I’m doing at least 4 videos a week between here, RSDN, my self dev project, and The Immersions program inside Evolutions. And I’m constantly surprised at how easy it is to create content, and just pound out videos left and right. But I’m trying to think of the direction I want to take this blog in.

7 May 2013 | 10:00 amBoom! Been working nonstop, thought I’d take a little break to send you off this vid. What have I been up to lately? Well, been back in the trenches programming and designing a new site.

When Should You Take Down Your Online Dating Profile?
16 May 2013 | 10:19 pmDating is tricky. There’s a lot of conflicting advice floating around the Interwebs about what should happen and how a relationship should progress. It can be pretty confusing at times. Do you answer a text right away, or wait a couple of hours? Do you talk honestly about your feelings when you want to move forward in a relationship, or play it cool and wait for him to bring up the subject? How long should you date someone before you take down your online dating profile? This type of constant analysis and worry can lead you to second-guess yourself. The ambiguity of dating probably feels a… -
The 10 Best Dating Articles We’ve Read This Week
16 May 2013 | 10:08 pmHappy Friday! There were so many great dating articles published this week, but somehow I was able to narrow it down to our ten favorites! Did I miss any? Leave the links to the best dating articles you’ve read this week in the comments below! Have a good weekend! 1.

5 Most Romantic Gestures Of All Time
15 May 2013 | 9:52 pmWhen you’re a millionaire celebrity, it’s easy to treat the one you love. Whether an expensive holiday or a flashy car, when money’s no object, you’ve got to go all out on the gesture.

Discover the Good Truths About Dating A Cougar
15 May 2013 | 9:04 pmsource Cougars have been given a bad reputation for many years, no thanks to Mrs. Robinson from the movie The Graduate. They are perceived as highly lascivious hunters ready to pounce on younger (but-not-so-innocent) men. The word cougar is actually ill-fitted for this group of women. It is synonymous with hunger-stricken, savage creatures. But, you know what? The word also symbolizes power, strength, and fearlessness; so I guess, in a way, it’s A-ok! A lot has been said about the disadvantage of a cougar-cub relationship. People have drawn conclusion from the failed relationships of… -
Five Things to Never Say After a Breakup
15 May 2013 | 1:00 amWe’ve all been dumped and, frankly, it sucks. You think things are going along just fine but then all of a sudden they aren’t. And, really, even if you see it coming it’s still not a whole lot of fun. But have you ever noticed that sometimes the things that people say to you after the breakup can be even worse than the breakup itself? Here are five things to never say to someone after a breakup. “There’s plenty of other fish in the sea.” Clichés aren’t awesome when someone is happy so it’s safe to say they don’t do a whole lot when people are down either. What is it with…

In fact, he’s a teddy bear. A teddy bear who has transported hundreds of pounds of weed across the State of California. And now, he’s going to tell you who, what, where, why, and, perhaps most interestingly, HOW this was done. “As far as you know, this is fiction.”

Not all Endings are Happy
18 May 2013 | 7:52 pmI wish all endings could be “happy endings”. Maybe that is why I refuse to watch any movie that is about a dysfunctional family or relationship. If I am going to “pay” for entertainment it better end with a happy ending, wrapped up like a present with a big bow on top! So as you can guess, I am not here today writing to tell you about my happy ending, actually quite the opposite. My heart has officially been broken. In my last few blogs I wrote about being vulnerable and resorting back to old behaviors. I do wonder if I should listen to my instincts when I really… -
Finding Love with a Postcard
16 May 2013 | 7:47 pmWith email, texting and Facebook, fewer people are buying, writing and mailing cards to express their heart-felt sentiments. Instead, they are writing quick, electronic messages that say so little. It’s so much easier to just wish someone a happy birthday on Facebook than to buy a card. We all have busy lives and it takes time to find the right card. Plus, we can’t just sign the card, we need to write something that expresses how we feel. We also worry that what we write is appropriate/sounds good/makes us look good/and is spelled correctly…a tall order for many (thus why… -
Resorting Back to Old Behaviors
14 May 2013 | 7:44 pmAs I have mentioned in a previous blog I have been in a vulnerable state lately. Being vulnerable is not something I have chosen to be most of my life, so its new. Maybe in a few experiences but very rarely when it comes to relationships. So with this man in my life, when I begin to see a hint of him pulling back, what do you think I do? Yes, I resort to my old behaviors. I begin to “play the game”, which I can do quite well. As I have been working with my Life Coach I have learned a few things about my conscious state vs. my subconscious state. My subconscious doesn’t know… -
Being Vulnerable
12 May 2013 | 7:40 pmNo one likes to be vulnerable. Just the pure sound of the word feels horrible and its not something I’d ever want to aspire to. But sometimes putting yourself in a situation that makes you vulnerable can actually be good for you. I have found some interesting points in my research about vulnerability. The wikipedia definition says: “Vulnerability is the susceptibility to physical or emotional injury or attack. It also means to have one’s guard down, open to censure or criticism. Vulnerability refers to a person’s state of being liable to succumb, as to manipulation,… -
The Fun in Lasting Love
10 May 2013 | 11:59 amI like to think of February as Love month instead of just the one day for lovers. I think we should really reinvent the idea of what Valentine’s Day should represent. I know that not many have the same belief as I do when it comes to this holiday, but for me, it really should be a Love Appreciation Day. That includes every kind of love. Love for friends, love for family, even love for pets! To me its the time that we should show each other how much we appreciate the love in our lives whatever form it may be. Awhile back I use to send out Valentines cards to my loved ones instead of…

The perfect picnic date
16 May 2013 | 7:58 amDates. I believe most dates go well unless they're not planned and you end up at an Applebee's. And I'm not THAT opposed to Applebee's if you don't act all: "Well that's weird they lost my reservation for this four star restaurant, but I know there's an Applebee's up the street." (Ok, guy.) But I mean, if you're into other things, like cutesier things, May is the perfect time for picnics. Picture it...you and someone you fancy (yeah, I said "someone you fancy." Come at me.) listening to tunes, eating cheese that costs more than a good cut of beef, throwing a football around, laughing, rolling… -
1 Girl, 12 Guys: A speed dating tell all
13 May 2013 | 7:32 amEver been curious about speed dating? Me too. So when my friend, Jessica, mentioned she was going, I told her she had to spill every single detail following the event. And here's what happened... Name: Jessica Age: 25 Location: Los Angeles Status: Too single for words In three words, describe the evening: A-fucking-disaster Have you ever speed dated before? No. And for good reason… What were you expecting when you arrived? To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. I knew there would be a handful of guys, so I assumed ONE would be worthy of…something? What was the reality? I arrived at the… -

Mother's Day is just around the corner, which is why I'm here to not only thank my mom, and all the other moms for making such dashing costumes like this, but to talk about what moms have taught us about love, life and the things we'd rather learn about from overly mature friends who were allowed to watch The Real World before me us. My mom has certainly shared some wisdom with me over the years that has stuck and that's… -

Flirtexting Tips: Keep It Fun and Flirty
9 May 2013 | 9:25 amIt’s fun and flirty and the newest dating gimmick. Called “flirtexting,” it’s flirting via text messaging (see our previous post). Kind of like Twitter for daters, flirtexting is a way to be intimate without getting serious. Keeping in touch with each other by sharing little thoughts and observations as you both move through the day is a great way to get to know each other better. Best of all, because the connections are casual, brief, occasional and don’t require an immediate response, flirtexting exerts none of the pressure that can make daters feel crowded or pressured early in a… -
When to Pick Up the Check
7 May 2013 | 7:42 amWho picks up the check is one of those thorny subjects for which there is no single “right” answer. Changing social mores have turned the long-held tradition of “the man pays” into a bewildering muddle. Making things even more confusing, expectations about who pays seem to vary with age. The findings of a 2008 online poll by Elle magazine and MSNBC.com point out just how confusing the check issue has become as illustrated by the contradictory results: 66% of men, particularly younger men, want women to help with the check after the first couple of dates BUT 44% of women are annoyed… -
What to Do about Mother’s Day If You’re Dating a Mother
2 May 2013 | 6:56 amWhen you’re dating a mother, how you handle Mother’s Day depends in large part on how long you’ve been dating the woman. If you’re at the beginning of a relationship and barely know her children, it’s best not to intrude on the family’s plans. Because you have not yet become part of the family’s life, your presence would be awkward at best and is likely to be seen as an unwanted intrusion by the woman’s children. Rather than rock the boat; politely bow out. Let your date know that you understand she wants to spend the day with her family and schedule your time together for… -
Use Common Sense to Stay Safe When Meeting Online Date
30 Apr 2013 | 7:08 amAny time you date someone new, there’s a small element of risk. Will he be everything his online dating profile promises? Will she have fudged on her age and weight? Will you be attracted or turned off? For most women, there’s also that little voice that asks, will I be safe? Safety is a concern whenever you go on a first date, whether it’s a fix up or an online liaison. The need to be smart and use common sense when you date someone you met online – or anyone you don’t know — has been a hot topic recently in the wake of a California woman’s claim that she was attacked by a… -

A well-lit, beautifully composed professional photograph will showcase your natural attractiveness to best effect and attract attention. Online dating is all about first impressions, and it’s your dating headshot that causes a potential date to click on your profile and delve deeper or keep on clicking. With so much riding on your online dating profile photo, it’s smart to invest a few dollars in a professional photo shoot. When you arrive at your photo shoot, you’ll want…

Living in the Present Ain’t Always that Easy
7 May 2013 | 7:40 amThere are plenty of spiritual heroes out there who will tell you the key to happiness is to live in the present. Basically, we’re supposed to forget about the past and not harp on the future. I had been hearing about this living in the now business for quite some time. But like many, I thought the concept was some hocus pocus bologna. We all have to plan for the future, right? And how can I possibly forget how that kid in third grade told me I had a flat face? With all honesty, I never really thought I had a problem with living in the future or the past. Until one day when my cool, calm,… -
Three Reasons Why Taking Time Off to Create Actually Makes You More Productive (and Happy)
25 Apr 2013 | 10:23 amI’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed lately. My days have been spent on the defense. You know… when tasks keep coming at you and all you can do is react? And then the things you really want to get done, because they don’t have a set-in-stone deadline, just continue to be pushed aside. I really hate being in this place. It’s a place where my to-do list is two-plus pages long, and nothing seems to get checked off. I just want to see that little check! I can be OCD (read: controlling) like that. Even if I were to go on a check-it-off–the-list marathon, it would never end. A new task… -
I’m a Coward. That’s What She Said

I came to my mom with this problem I’ve been having for quite some time. I can’t seem to find inner peace when it comes to dealing with this one person in my life who is very close to me. You know, the kind of people you just can’t get rid of! My mother is a strong believer in that love conquers all. And not in the “Oh, my boyfriend and I love each other so we’ll last” kind of way. She believes that truly… -

And I’m wondering how to add this to the decently long list of things I “do.” So, I’m a writer. I also teach classes to inspire (mostly women) how to get what they want in life and to start taking action. I coach one-on-one and speak about the same stuff, as well.

The Importance Of Second Dates
15 May 2013 | 10:00 amIn the dating world, much emphasis is put on the first date. After all, it is the first opportunity to make a good impression and simultaneously form an opinion about the person you’re going out with. It is a time necessarily filled with uncertainty, snap evaluations and the accompanying pressure and anxiety. In other words, it is not an ideal situation in which to either show off your best self or get significant insight into the person you’re just getting to know. In fact, it is arguably one of the worst circumstances under which to make an accurate assessment of the… -

Honesty: How Much Is Too Much?

But most agree that in a relationship, honesty is a necessity. This naturally brings to mind several pertinent questions: Is honesty an absolute? Is there ever a time for dishonesty - and if so, when? Is there such a thing as too much honesty, and if there is, how do you know when you have reached your honesty maximum?I know there are some of you out there saying, “Anything but total… -

Evolution and the Friend Zone
13 May 2013 | 5:00 amHow I discovered a little quirk of evolution that explains the Friend Zone and a lot of other weird things that come up in dating. The Friend Zone The first time I experienced the “Friend Zone” was in my first year of university. Her name was Iylana and she had bright green eyes and high cheekbones, and moved with this waify Russian elegance that drove me crazy. We sat next to one another in our first year political science class every Monday, and afterwards we would go for lunch or coffee and talk about whatever was on our minds. She was still dating her highschool… -
Maybe she just has Bitchy Resting Face
10 May 2013 | 10:55 amApologies for the lack of updates, I am finally back from an 8 week tour that led me to Hong Kong and Germany, and I’ve been working on a big post that will come out Monday. A friend of mine posted this video on her facebook wall, and I though it was both amusing and quite true. A lot of beautiful women, especially those who are beautiful enough that they get hit on a lot, tend to acquire protective habits to keep guys from hitting on them too much, and to filter out less confident guys. “Bitchy resting face” happens to be one of them. Bitchy Resting Face – watch more… -

And one question that comes up pretty regularly from guys I meet is “What are the best countries for game?”. Personally, I’ve found that the stuff we teach at Love Systems works pretty consistently all across the world. There are obviously local cultural differences that need to be taken into consideration, but in the… -
Five ways to improve your Dating Confidence (Video)
22 Mar 2013 | 8:52 amThe good people at WGN Morning News interviewed me today on confidence in dating. The video is below the break.

Anyway, I tried to summarize some of what I think is the most valuable advice that your average guy needs to hear. My main points were: Stop judging yourself. – Less confident people tend to think that being confident means judging yourself, and thinking you’re good. But confident people know that confidence…

I’ve been fishing for piranha, hunting for caimans, searching for poisonous spiders, all kinds of things that would have definitely freaked me out, but I’ve been pushed out of my comfort zone.
