How do you know when you are dating a jealous man and what are the signs to look for?

If you’re dating a man, then you are then dating a jealous man. Most of the time you will see no signs. Man by his very nature is jealous. It’s in his genes, which is to say he is programmed to be jealous. He can try to hide it and show no signs of it, but this can only last for so long.

The trick is to get to it early before you get married just like this couple is doing. Counseling is probably the only cure.

This concludes from Maryanne’s Friday dating diamond. I hope you put to good use in your own dating!

I recommend you lead with what you are most afraid of; in this case, your age and that you’re moving through menopause, etc. When we embrace what we are afraid of the demon disappears, and anyway it’s what’s real—and this is real life, after all. You want a partner who shares this same reality. Plus you won’t have to worry about breaking the news later. How about something like this for an ad:
Fifty-something seeking real life partner for a trade. Must love camping, vigorous exercise, or have grown up in a big family. Patience would be a good quality to have, as well as the ability to delay gratification, saving the best for last—i.e., a calmer version of me post-menopause! In the meantime, must either play golf because it is among my favorite pastimes! You like movies, good food and wine, and love to laugh. In exchange, I am willing to love and respect your stage of life because I know that no matter what life has handed you, your spirit is intact, your kindness is king, and you are seeking a partnership rather than a pit stop as we face the next millennia . I look forward to learning more about you, your passions, and the journey and the peaceful, joy-filled adventure we will create together!

Good luck and like my dear friend Kris Carlson would say: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff!!

Summary: Worried about dating later in life? Let’s embrace what is, re-frame some and look for the humor in all of it! For example, when we reach midlife most of us are wiser, more compassionate, better lovers, more tolerant, more available, and more confident, and so on.

Q~ I’m a fifty-something, single, looking to get back out in the dating world. I am not thrilled with the idea of online dating but realize when it comes to the law of attraction, I need to get the ball rolling. The problem is, I am not feeling as marketable as I was in my thirties and forties, never mind my hormones are raging like a teenager—except now, instead of blooming, it seems I am about to lose my blossom. Any suggestions on how to attract a great mate?

A~ I can see the both dilemmas: how do you compete with your own shadow and attract a great partner when you don’t feel exactly on top of your game, and how can you be honest about who you are without focusing exclusively on the negative. This is indeed a delicate balancing act. You don’t want to do what so many of us have, and out-and-out lie or minimize some major themes in your life. Let’s start from a bigger picture: while you may be experiencing great discomfort as you pass through (and up and down and all around) menopause, it’s true that this is a phase, a transient time, just as each day is. Besides, we are so much more than any one aspect of what we experience in any given time, day, phase, moment. It’s a matter of where we focus our attention. I have heard from some experts that menopause can be one of the most magical, mystical times in a woman’s life. The other big-picture thing to realize is that there is nothing to be ashamed of as we traverse each crevice of the human experience, and you can bet your partner is try to fend off his share of the inevitable himself. Essentially we are all in the same boat, and none of us are getting out alive or unscathed!
So, let’s embrace what is, re-frame some and look for the humor in all of it! For example, when we reach midlife most of us are wiser, more compassionate, better lovers, more tolerant, more available, and more confident, and so on.

I suppose a million questions are about to be answered at the Tiger Woods press conference going on right now.

Is Tiger a sex addict? For that matter is sex addiction real?

Why do men cheat?

Is Tiger going to revitalize his marriage?

Will Tiger’s betrayal of Elin Woods be too much?

If the marriage has ended, will Tiger start dating? Could it be you? It’s obvious that Tiger loves women so why not you?

Let me know what you think?

Great quote here from a financial blog I like to read called The Daily Reckoning.

“What is wrong with these New York Times columnists? David Brooks is a smarter version of Thomas Friedman…which is to say, he is more thoughtful. But his thoughts seem to run into similar dead ends. He notes that more men in America are finding it difficult to be the breadwinners of their families. Women now get more college degrees than men. And women typically work in industries that are not suffering as much as construction and manufacturing, where men work. Result: men are out of work and out of money. And who wants to marry a man with no work and no money? So, men end up being lonely too.

Naturally, Brooks has a solution: “we need to redefine masculinity, creating an image that encourages teenage boys to stay in school and older men to pursue service jobs.”

Do we need to redefine masculinity?

Should we then go further and redefine dating, love and marriage?

Nice guys have wanted to know for centuries why great girls like you won’t date them. These guys see you dating tools, jerks, and inmates while they seem to have no chance.

At least that’s what they tell themselves!

In reality, these guys show their lack of confidence when they lack the courage to ask you out.

For your money, you want to be chased and pursued. Weak kneed bachelors won’t oblige and you get left in the cold.

So what to do when you find yourself wanting the nice guy?

First, do not under any circumstances ask these guys out. Your job is to choose and his job is to chase, not the other way around. Second, try to make yourself as available to a guy you are attracted to as much as possible. By available, I mean look your best, be kind and thoughtful to him.

Now that the Rozlyn Papa story has faded, Vienna has the dating show world abuzz with revelations that she has a boyfriend back home.

Each new dating show only seems to prove that you can’t find love while on one!

Outside of that I don’t think men or women can learn anything else.

What do you think?
