In this video, learn four powerful steps to tame your inner critic. 4 Steps to Tame Your Inner Critic You may recognize your inner critic as the voice that says, “You’re not smart enough”, “You look fat in that outfit!”, or “You’ll probably be alone forever.” Your inner critic can keep you from the life and love you yearn for.

In This Battle Of The Sexes, Women Need To Blink First.

Image
It is a man’s job to sexually escalate with a woman he is attracted to. As women control access to sex, he risks rejection in his quest to get it. Indeed, if women are appropriately discerning in their choice of sexual partner, most men will be rejected most of the time. Even hard core players confess to a 90% failure rate. Their strategy is based on volume rather than quality of approaches. Many women feel entitled to audition would-be lovers very selectively. If they experience a lack of attention – no guy shows up to audition – they blame men. If a guy does show up but decides not to stick around, he’s a douche. That’s not reasonable. You have no right to call a guy a jerk just because he doesn’t like you. Maybe you need to be more likable, or maybe you’re not compatible despite the initial chemistry. The problem with this sense of entitlement is that it creates total passivity on the girl’s part. You don’t have very good control of your dating life if you are always waiting for a...

Image
In any discussion of what women want, no trait gets more attention than social status. Acknowledged as a key female attraction cue, it’s also frequently referred to as social dominance. It’s easy to see why. One need only look around to see that men in positions of leadership and social dominance are highly desired by women. Ogi Ogas, in his bestselling book  A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the World’s Largest Experiment Reveals About Human Desire , confirms its universal appeal: Study after study has demonstrated the erotic appeal of male dominance. Women prefer the voices of dominant men, the scent of dominant men, the movement and gait of dominant men, and the facial features of dominant men…Scientists believe that the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex may be responsible for processing cues indicating social status or dominance, and it appears that almost all female brains are susceptible to dominance cues. Furthermore, social dominance is not conferred by women, it’s awarded by oth...

If you’ve ever struggled with body image and dating, listen to this episode. I coach Debra on how to be more confident in her body as she dates. — Debra wrote in to Last First Date Radio about her struggle with body image and dating. Here’s what she wrote: “I am struggling with body image. My body has changed a lot over the past few years, and it takes a lot of courage and mental effort for me to get on the dating apps. Once I meet someone, I can forget about my “ physical body” and just be present with them.. until something ends the relationship- such as recently the guy significantly lied to me about his age.. So each time I try to get back online I have this battle with myself.. I shouldn’t date until I lose more weight, and I’ll feel more confident to choose different men. I think that men will not want me because of my size right now. “ EP 529: Live Coaching With Debra – Struggling With Body Image and Dating Last First Date Radio Join Sandy Weiner, ...

6 Red Flags That Suggest Your Marriage is Heading for a Divorce

https://www.webmd.com/cancer/features/b-cell-emotional-health Marriages can be beautiful and fulfilling experiences if they are well-timed and built on mutual respect. Unfortunately, sometimes these relationships fizzle out, often resulting in divorce. But rarely do couples move from “till death do us part” to “it’s over for us” overnight. Instead, divorce signs often start to show in small ways that can be difficult to recognize. If you are concerned your marriage may be heading for divorce, here are six red flags to watch out for. 1.   Poor Communication Effective communication in marriage is significant for staying connected, solving disputes, and building trust.

How to Find Out If Your Date is Trustworthy

When it comes to trust, there are a few red flags that indicate a potentially untrustworthy person. If your date does any of the following things, it may be time to reconsider whether or not they are someone you can trust. An untrustworthy person tends to project guilt about wrongdoings onto others A common sign of an untrustworthy person is a tendency to lie. Untrustworthy people usually curl their lips when they lie and take pleasure in the fact that they are lying. Then they try to convince themselves that their actions are entirely normal. For instance, they may tell you that they are going to be somewhere at a certain time, only to be late. Or they might tell you that they are going to give you something but not give it to you. Another telltale sign of an untrustworthy person is that they don’t care about others’ feelings. They won’t take the time to apologize or take responsibility for their wrongdoings. This behavior is an expression of guilt and often makes it difficult to t...

And they don’t feel as comfortable in social settings where most people go for dates. That’s why online dating can be a great fit for introverts.

The 10 Greatest Love Stories of All Time

Image
Are women unrealistic in their expectations of love? Do we demand so much from men that none can ever hope to measure up? What is the love that we dream of as girls, and can we ever really find it? My own views of love were undoubtedly shaped, at least in part, by the many books I read and movies I watched as a girl. Like most women, I’ve never outgrown my appetite for a great love story. Thinking about my favorites of all time, I realized that a common theme is sacrifice, even death. The greatest, most enduring loves are often doomed, and the tragedy fuels the passion. Is this just the stuff of fiction, or is it possible that a real man could love one woman for all eternity? This kind of love does exist, it is real. It is not rare! Hold out for the real thing. While you’re waiting, and you have a few lonely Friday nights to kill, here are my Top 10 love stories of all time: 1. Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte An unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow in...
