I’m often asked why a guy will keep dating an obviously crazy woman and not dump her.

I think the same question can be asked of voters in states like Minnesota and my home state of Illinois. Who in their right minds would elect people like Michelle Bachmann and Rod Blagojevich? Well the good people of both states did and in spite of evidence to the contrary.

Everyone knew that Blago would eventually be indited yet they still re-elected him. And what did Minnesotans do recently? They re-elected none other than Michelle Bachmann in spite of her embarrassing rants on television.

Why did voters choose such bad choices?

I think it was a simple matter of not having a better alternative.

The people of Illinois and Minnesota felt that the alternatives were not better so they simply went with the devil they knew. The dating take home message is simple: When looking to attract the man of your dreams simply present a better alternative to what he usually sees and see what results you get. If you put your best foot forward and don’t get what you want it might be best to move on and find yourself someone who will choose you.

From a dating best practices perspective, I think the best thing to look at is how you can be the better alternative.

Dating doesn’t have to be so hard!
