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.

Last week I outlined the top 10 dating obstacles that my clients face. This week, let’s talk about how I work with them to overcome these challenges.
Here is where my job as not only a matchmaker, but as a coach kicks in. Remember, a matchmaker is more than someone who sets singles up on dates. A major aspect of the job is to support and coach clients every step of the way-- including before the dating process begins. Read more
“David, how do I get him to like me?”
I can’t tell you how many times women email this question, and it breaks my heart. You meet a guy. You think he’s great. He has the best resume you’ve seen in a while. He’s good looking, he has a good job, and he’s caring, but no matter what you do, you feel you can’t get him to like you.
Listen to the original question again…
“How do I get a man to like me?”
Do you realize how weak that question is? What’s wrong with you? Do you really need to get someone to like you? Are you not likeable the way you are? Aren’t you an amazing, beautiful woman? Read more
