I’ve lived in LA-LA land for a long time, so I’ve seen my fair share of plastic surgery—the very, very good, the very, very bad and everything in between. And because surgery is so common here—I swear there are more plastic surgeon’s offices than Starbucks in LA—I’ve been asked by a lot of my female clients if plastic surgery will get them a better man. Instead of giving them a yes or no answer, I often have a lot of questions for them. What can I say? I’m like the Cheshire Cat of plastic surgery advice. In case you’re wondering the same thing, here are those questions for you to ask yourself. Read more

I was training at the gym earlier, and as I watched a number of people training alone I started thinking to myself, “life must get lonely for some people.”
If you’re single, you wake up in the morning and you’re alone. You go to work, and you’re alone. You go training at the gym, and you’re alone. Then you go home, on your own.
On my way home from the gym I started looking into the windows of the houses I passed. I saw all the condos, apartments, and lofts. Where I live is in a Marina, which is mainly a loft district. As I looked in the windows, I could see people watch television, having dinner, and sipping wine, all on their own.
I wondered how many of these people were lonely. I know there are many lonely people out there. I know from the work I do. I read it in all the emails and letters I’m sent every day. In many ways, it’s very sad when you think about it. Sometimes life can be very lonely.
So what do we do to change it? Read more
The problem with dating, especially dating in cities, is that there’s always something new and shiny and possibly better than what you have now right around the corner. That “something different, something better” itch often stops us from appreciating the something really awesome we have in front of our faces. I used to see this issue a lot with my male clients. And like I said before, the more citified they were, the more prevalent the problem. But, I’ve been seeing this issue pop up a bunch with my female clients recently. It feels like this issue is becoming contagious! So, in an effort to stop the spread of something-better-itis (It’s a real thing. It’s going to be on WebMD soon, I swear!) I’m giving you five good reasons to keep your man. Read more
I was having a conversation with a lady I coach earlier. She was telling me about a guy she started dating a while ago. He’s having some problems with his business, and he’s not dealing with it that well. She also thinks he has some anger problems too. He can be very aggressive, and speaks to her in a pretty mean way some times.
I told her he didn’t sound like the type of guy she should be with. What do you think she said to me?
“But David, he’s a sexy guy, and we have great sex”
I was stunned. Read more
