I’ll admit, I was bracing for the worst.

It’s not always popular (or smart!) to tease your readers, but I’m glad you were able to take it in stride.

In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at how many NICE things you had to say about last Thursday’s blog, which suggested that you may be holding men to a somewhat unreasonable standard:

This was FANTASTIC!! The more straight up, in your face and bold you get, the better. Great job!!!

When my girlfriend dumped me in 2004, I was beyond devastated.

We’d had an incredibly passionate three-month relationship.

You know the kind.

You say “I love you” within a couple of weeks.

You’re taking vacations together within the first month.

You’re talking about plans for the future and how “you just know” that your relationship is meant to be.

You feel like you’ve known this man your whole life and can’t imagine living without him.

Yeah, those are good times. Continue Reading »

It’s been a crazy week.

And if, somehow, you’re still sitting on the sidelines, reading my emails, wondering why I am so insistent that you take action on your love life, this is your lucky day.

Because I want to share something special with you – and, once again, it’s FREE.

It’s a one-hour LIVE coaching event that I held in my home last week for five private clients who live in Southern California. They came to my home, met my wife and baby, ate dinner, drank wine, and then generously opened up their hearts with authentic, vulnerable, real questions – the very kind that you’ve been asking as well.

I decided to videotape the event, just in case something magical happened.

When you watch this video below, I think you’ll see that it did.

There are two things I’d like you to keep in mind when you’re watching this video:

1) If you enjoy it, SHARE it with every single woman you know.

If you learn something and want to pay it forward, SHARE it.

If you believe in the positive messages I’m trying to give to women to break free of bad men, SHARE it.

I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power, and think it would be wonderful if you could give every woman you know power over her own romantic destiny.

Just add your comments below the video using Facebook and let your friends see what it’s like when smart women make smart decisions in love.

2) This video is a perfect sneak preview of my FOCUS Coaching program.

Each month in FOCUS Coaching, I’ll conduct a live Q&A call about a new dating topic, and I will answer at least 5 of your questions for you.

Following the call, you can listen a recording of it on my Community site and you will also receive a CD/newsletter of the call a few weeks later.

Additionally, you’ll be an exclusive member of the EMK FOCUS Forum, where you can interact with me and hundreds of other smart women on the path to love.

If you get great insights from this free video, just imagine what you can get when I answer YOUR questions on the phone each month.

Warmest wishes and much love,

Your friend,

It’s a fact that most of us have checklists describing the qualities of our ideal mate.

I’m not going to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I’m just going to acknowledge that it’s real. When you’ve been on the planet for close to 40 years, you probably have a pretty good idea about what you’re looking for in a man.

I don’t blame you for a second, and I’m not going to tell you which things you should give up in order to find the man of your dreams.

What I will do today is illustrate to you how even your simplest list of non-negotiable dealbreakers is the very thing that is keeping you from finding love. Continue Reading »

If you’ve ever asked yourself how long you should wait, or how much you should put up with from a man, this blog post is for you.

In fact, I’m going to give away, in the next 1000 words, the fundamental principle that I use for all of my dating coaching clients.

If you are dating and routinely questioning your own judgment with men, I can help.

What I want to talk about today is a phenomenon that comes up all the time in dating coaching: how do you know what behavior to tolerate from men? Continue Reading »

You’ve been hurt by men before. You’ve been hurt bad. You’ve vowed to learn from the experience and protect yourself from that ever happening again.

And to protect yourself from being hurt by a man, you:

Choose not to date at all.
Try to make him earn your trust.
Pull away from a guy at the first hint of trouble.
Tell him your relationship goals on the first few dates.
Want to clarify where things are headed in the first few months.

Those are all perfectly rational. The problem is: the only thing you’re protecting yourself from is the possibility of falling in love. Continue Reading »

A friend forwarded me an article about looks on the dating site OkCupid.com. It blew my mind.

Okay, maybe it didn’t blow my mind, but it did validate everything that I’ve ever said about online dating. I’m going to do my best to summarize– and explain what you can learn from it. According to this article…

1) Men have a very fair assessment of women’s overall attractiveness. This doesn’t mean that they’re not shallow (they are), but rather, that they are consistent and reasonable in terms of “rating” women’s looks. Continue Reading »

If you are, I don’t blame you one bit.

You don’t want to be told that you’re doing anything wrong.

You don’t want to be told that doing the same thing always yields the same results.

You don’t want to be told that you’re responsible for change when you’ve been hurt by so many bad men.

I hear you, loud and clear. Continue Reading »

My client Christie just told me a horrible story about her fiancé pulling away from her.

My client May recently informed me that her on-again/off-again boyfriend was off-again.

My client Selma has been so hurt by her last guy that she’s keeping all her relationships casual.

If you empathize with them, and you find that your love life, too, is a perpetual challenge, it doesn’t have to be that way. Really. It doesn’t. Continue Reading »

As you know, one of the most fascinating things about dating is how there’s always more than meets the eye. And what we want to happen on a date doesn’t always correspond to what REALLY happens on a date.

So, just for a second, I want you think of the date to whom you were MOST attracted upon your first meeting.

Just seeing him gave you butterflies.

Just thinking about him made you tingle.

And when you weren’t with him, all you could think about was being with him again.

That attraction is an intoxicating feeling. But what happens when you’re that intoxicated by a man? Continue Reading »
