Online Dating And Mental Masturbation

Woman sits on computer online dating, creating mental masturbation
Online dating sites can be great places to meet your ideal man, but there’s a danger lurking around the corner, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting female mind. What is this online dating monster to stay alert for? It’s mental masturbation! “What the hell are you talking about David Wygant?” You exclaim. Mental masturbation is what happens when you fall in love with a man online, before you actually meet him. You spot his profile. He looks so good. You keep going back to look at his profile. Every time you read it, you start to want him more. In your mind, he’s the guy that’s going to ride off with you into the sunset. In your mind, he’s going to get down on one knee and ask you to marry him. You love how he looks, what he says about himself, and how he describes his perfect relationship. He sounds like the most amazing guy you’ve ever met. Read more

AskJustin: Strip clubs and getting back with the ex

Ask Justin Bird
If a guy is really into strip clubs does that make him a dog?
Some men at strip clubs feel like 6-year-old boys at Disneyland on the night before Christmas. This is completely okay as we are men remember? One word to keep in mind: Moderation! The first question I want to ask is how often? If it’s any more frequent than five-ish times a year, then I would be concerned and raise a red flag. If a man goes to a strip club for special occasions (bachelor parties or birthdays), then it is completely normal. Is the man married, single, taken? A married man should limit his attendance to special occasions, while a single man gets a free pass. Read more

How to Create Your Dating Persona

Are you one of those people with a vacation mindset? You know what I mean. You visit a friend in Los Angeles for the weekend. And for some reason or another, you can meet people. It's easier. But when you got home, you just don't feel the same. You can't seem to get out of your head. You can't seem to find that dynamic person that you were in L.A., and you go back to being your regular, average self, stuck in your day-to-day life. You wonder where that person went. But every time you travel, whether it's Miami, Los Angeles, New York,  or Vegas, you seem to be able to create this magnetic personality. You don't seem to care at all. You flirt. You have fun. You relax and have a good time. But when you're home, you worry about what other people think. You worry about what someone will say if you try to flirt with somebody at the gym, or the super market. And, what if you get rejected? So, how do you become that ‘Road Warrior’, in your every day life? Today, David and I dive into that and show you exactly how you can have that dynamic personality all the time. More importantly, how nobody really cares about that un-dynamic person you present yourself as at home. How this magnetic road personality will make people at home want to not only date you, but be near you and hang out with you. Today, we expose the truth about the magnetic Road Warrior dating personality, and how to transform it into your life.

Dieting and Dating: Having a Mind of Your Own

Woman contemplates dieting
Keep dating the wrong guy, again and again? Jump from one restrictive diet to the next, only to lose and gain the weight many times over? If this sounds familiar, it’s time to look for patterns of behavior, and the answer may be simpler than you think. Believe it or not, ineffective dieting and disheartening dating have something in common. You! Instant gratification is the new normal for many of us. Quick fixes and gimmicks only feed the need to have the ideal partner or a svelte body now. This impatience spills over into the most important aspects of our lives—our love affairs and general well-being. In our haste, we lose touch with the values required to sustain good relationships and a naturally healthy weight. I’m here to tell you there is no sidestepping the requirement for thoughtful, deliberate and honest evaluation of yourself as you seek the perfect eating plan or a soul mate for life. Read more
