Top Ten Ways to Irritate a Man
I overheard a conversation a couple of days ago in a men’s clothing store, between three guys. I will fully admit that the topic of conversation caught my attention and I intentionally eves dropped. I probably would have taken my mini-notepad out and started taking notes if that hadn’t been too obvious.One of them was there to buy something to wear on a blind date. The three of them were discussing what could go wrong on that date, which rapidly turned into a conversation about what women do that irritate them. I am going to paraphrase a bit, but I am going to give you a peak inside the brains of three single guys who appeared to be pretty smart. They also all three seemed to want to find Miss Right. However, at least two of them were...
Five Types of Men Worth a Second Look
I was talking to male friend of mine a few days ago who lamented that all women are looking for the same guy. His theory was all women wanted to date the doctor or lawyer who’d never been married or had kids and who they thought could make a great dad for their future kids. He said many women didn’t realize that was what they were after, but deep in their hearts, it was. I wanted to pitch an argument to that logic, but unfortunately I really couldn’t. The thing about the the guy I was talking to was he wasn’t that guy at all. However, he will be a great catch for some lucky woman and the fact that he’s been single as long as he has is a mystery to me. It led me to ponder how often guys like my friend get looked over in the dating...
How to Get That Spark Back
I could build a practice on this one question. “How do we get that spark back?” The answer is shockingly simple. Be the person you were when you had spark. It’s no secret that in the beginning of a relationship we are on our best behavior. However, a more subtle reality is that falling in love makes us feel our most alive. In that high vibration, sharply alive energy, to put it simply, it’s easy to be exciting, sexy, and engaged. Not too mention your formerly single self was doing a lot of cool and exciting things – that you may or may not do anymore. Fast forward a few months or years and in many cases that highly charged vibe wears off. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “We have bills, pets, kids, cars, jobs, and...
The Myth of the 50/50 Relationship
I like to think I am capable of dealing with most things. I have resource file three inches thick. I have the personal cell phone numbers of people ranging from politicians to entertainers. I know an expert in just about any field. I also think generally speaking, I am pretty emotionally stable and can weather whatever comes my way, with one exception. I have no coping mechanism for dealing with the illness, injury, or suffering of my beloved best friend Mozart the Pug. When I say no coping mechanism, I mean NONE. I came face to face with that glaring deficiency in my ability to function this week, as Mozart is sick and I am seriously unable to function well, or at all, in my world. Last night I was laying in bed, trying desperately to hold back the...
If It’s Not Fun…
There is a commonly held belief that relationships, especially marriages take work. In that old model of relationship you know that hard times are a coming. You know that being with someone for any length of time is going to present all sorts of unpredictable challenges. However, once you commit to a relationship, you’re in it to win it, no matter how much hard work it takes. You’re going to do your time, and put in the work, and get through the hard times, come hell or high water, for better or for worse. I mean, it’s in the vows, so you’re going to do it. The harder the times, and the stickier the work, the prouder you can be when you get through it. The bigger the problem, the shinier the merit badge… So old school. Oh so...
