Relationships in the 21st Century often involve gender role reversals with many women being more educated and earning more than their potential mates. What are the rewards and challenges that face these couples and what should you be looking for from the first date?
In this webinar, you will learn:
After a long search for your perfect match, you’d welcome help — any help — finding him. You’d do nearly anything to speed up your quest.
This was my feeling last week when I found myself at Hong Kong’s Wong Tai Sin Temple. It is famed for the many prayers answered: “What you request is what you get” via a practice called kau cim. The temple is named after Wong Tai Sin, believed by some to be a god who walked upon the earth and had amazing power to heal believers.
Most of us would be hurt and disappointed if our man cheated with another woman. We would feel betrayed.
But what if the object of our love’s attention wasn’t a woman — but his young grandchild?

You can tell a lot about someone’s mindset by his word choice. How does he express his thoughts? By conscious, considerate language? Or disrespectful speech?
Right or wrong, a popular belief about sharks is that they are always hungry; always on the hunt.
I’ve come across men who seem to have a similar unquenchable appetite — for sex.
At a recent closing conference luncheon, the next host country, China, provided beautiful scrolls with a different saying on each. There was no notation on the beautiful red box which saying was inside.
Several at my table unfurled theirs to have our Chinese table host read the calligraphy. “Happiness” read a few. “Long life” said the others, including mine. Thinking for a moment, I decided I didn’t want long life unless happiness accompanied it. I didn’t want to be miserable in old age.
Various studies have shown that few people see themselves as others see them. We tend to either overrate or underrate our attractiveness compared to others’ collective rating of us.
How is it that you can look in the mirror and say, “Looking good!” and others think you need help. I’ve recently decided our self-view is anything but reliable. A date snapped a pic of me in what I thought was a cute, flattering outfit. The pic he sent me didn’t reflect what I thought was my cuteness. “Maybe it was the angle or lighting,” I told myself. Maybe not.

Do you know how to feel sexy?
This seems like an odd question for someone in midlife. But an attractive, midlife woman came up to me after I gave a talk at an executive women’s event where she modeled in the fashion show.
Saturday night’s interview with KGO radio’s outspoken Karel was fun. We talked about issues like Karel’s Third Date Rule, which is his opinion that you need to sleep with a suitor by the third date in order to see if you’re sexually compatible and should continue seeing each other or not.
Since Karel’s husband died 10 years ago, he wanted my opinion on if widows and widowers are less likely to want to date again if they had a wonderful relationship cut short.
We also discussed online dating, rejection and whatever other topics crossed Karel’s mind. Listen to the recording.
