Bad Attitude Towards Dating is a Distraction
Often times, women say to me, “I’m down on my luck on dating. It’s because men are intimidated by me. It’s because I’m just too smart for these guys.”
It’s a distraction. That’s not the reason.
Bad Attitude Towards Dating? Learn About Yourself
A young woman who is smart and successful simply needs to learn how to be herself and present her intelligence and success in a way that is attractive.
Dating isn’t about comparing resumes. It’s about finding someone who is compatible for you. Don’t dumb yourself down.
Change The Bad Attitude Towards Dating
I hear so many women say, “I’m a doctor but when I go out to a bar, I pretend to be a flight attendant.” Why would you do that?
- First of all, it’s insulting to flight attendants.
- Second of all, that’s not who you are.
Bad Attitude Towards Dating? Just Be Yourself
You don’t want a man to fall in love with a fake version of you. You want a guy who really loves you for you.
Think of that as a great screening mechanism. There are plenty of guys out there who are interested in smart, successful women. If the guy that you’re chatting with isn’t, move on to one that is.
