Let's dive in with Diva Mia and Diva Cat.
00:00:32.077 --> 00:00:35.237
Well hello diva cat hello diva
00:00:35.237 --> 00:00:38.537
mia how are you today i'm good weekend was
00:00:38.537 --> 00:00:41.217
great i know it was so nice it's so nice
00:00:41.217 --> 00:00:45.137
and also today i'm like thunderstorm coming back i know you gotta watch this
00:00:45.137 --> 00:00:49.777
crazy weather sometimes right so today i thought we could get back to how to
00:00:49.777 --> 00:00:54.157
find love after you've been single for a while whether you went through the
00:00:54.157 --> 00:00:59.577
death of a spouse or a divorce or just a breakup and you've been single for a while.
00:00:59.957 --> 00:01:03.477
Okay, let's hear it. Well, you know, I started out with the dating apps.
00:01:04.057 --> 00:01:08.717
Yeah, yeah. I did. And I've also dated a few exes. Okay.
00:01:09.817 --> 00:01:13.677
And, you know, it's just different. I mean, going back to exes is fun.
00:01:13.917 --> 00:01:17.037
Uh-huh. I don't know if it's the right thing to do or not. Uh-huh.
00:01:17.217 --> 00:01:21.057
But the dating apps is fun, too, somewhat. And I don't know if that's the right
00:01:21.057 --> 00:01:24.657
thing or not. And then we also did talk about matchmaking with friends.
00:01:25.337 --> 00:01:31.937
Well, yeah, see? But in my town, those that don't exist, I never really get back on.
00:01:32.097 --> 00:01:36.237
And we just do, you know, matching from friends. Friends introduce us.
00:01:36.337 --> 00:01:37.857
Friends matchmaking, yeah. Right.
00:01:38.157 --> 00:01:41.137
And I think it's important to know when to date, too.
00:01:41.317 --> 00:01:45.157
Like, you shouldn't date to just, like, distract yourself from pain.
00:01:45.157 --> 00:01:49.157
I think you should only start dating when, well, seriously dating anyway,
00:01:49.157 --> 00:01:52.297
when you're over the pain and you feel healed.
00:01:52.617 --> 00:01:55.817
Right. You got to take care of yourself first. You do. You do.
00:01:56.397 --> 00:01:59.497
You did a good job, though. Yeah, I do a good job.
00:01:59.637 --> 00:02:04.197
Well, you know, when you feel abandoned or betrayed or you still have some codependency,
00:02:04.317 --> 00:02:05.957
I think it's a dangerous time to date.
00:02:06.237 --> 00:02:10.997
I think you can date when you can go out and have fun and not think about your
00:02:10.997 --> 00:02:16.437
ex at all or your spouse or your ex-boyfriend or whatever it was. Yes.
00:02:16.577 --> 00:02:20.517
It's a good time to date when you go out and

you just have fun and you don't think about him at all.
00:02:20.717 --> 00:02:23.557
That means you are ready. I think so, too.
00:02:24.077 --> 00:02:26.277
I don't think I talked about my ex once.
00:02:26.917 --> 00:02:31.897
I know. I don't think I even, even when she was, even when our friend was goading
00:02:31.897 --> 00:02:33.617
me a little bit, I didn't say anything.
00:02:34.057 --> 00:02:40.177
So, yeah. That's amazing. You, you've been cured. I've been cured.
00:02:40.817 --> 00:02:43.517
But I think I reconnected with myself pretty deeply, though.
00:02:43.697 --> 00:02:47.597
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think a year and a half is more than enough time.
00:02:48.157 --> 00:02:51.957
But you, I had to say, though, you came out very quickly. A year and a half.
00:02:51.957 --> 00:02:54.757
Oh, you didn't see me right after. I was a mess.
00:02:55.037 --> 00:02:58.317
But I'm great now. Yeah. But some people take,
00:02:58.878 --> 00:03:02.878
More than five years. I know. Well, they're not me.
00:03:03.138 --> 00:03:07.038
Yeah, so. I did a lot of therapy and journaling and, you know.
00:03:07.298 --> 00:03:11.138
Yeah. And I went out a lot by myself. Yeah. And I think that's empowering, too.
00:03:11.378 --> 00:03:16.518
I think that's crucial to rediscover yourself and just find pleasure and love yourself.
00:03:16.738 --> 00:03:20.618
Mm-hmm. And when you do that, then I think you heal faster. Yeah.
00:03:21.118 --> 00:03:24.538
So you need to be clearer, I think, too, on what you're looking for.
00:03:25.178 --> 00:03:28.518
Definitely. And here's the thing. I think it changes as we get older.
00:03:29.078 --> 00:03:33.718
Oh, yes. Yes. You know, when you're younger, you're looking for the guy that everybody likes.
00:03:34.658 --> 00:03:38.058
You're looking for the guy that everybody thinks is good looking. Right.
00:03:38.338 --> 00:03:42.818
You're looking for the guy that everybody thinks is, you know,
00:03:42.918 --> 00:03:44.478
the life of the party. Uh-huh.
00:03:44.858 --> 00:03:47.938
And when you get older, you don't really want the life of the party anymore.
00:03:48.298 --> 00:03:53.338
I think when you get older, like my husband and I, we're content just by ourselves.
00:03:54.098 --> 00:03:58.058
Yeah. I think because we're older, too. Yeah. You want a guy that's respectful.
00:03:58.378 --> 00:04:03.678
Yeah. That treats you with respect, that treats you with kindness, maybe chivalrous. Yes.
00:04:04.058 --> 00:04:06.898
And you want a guy that is good to you.
00:04:07.358 --> 00:04:12.758
I know. I think, like you said, in the 30s, you always have to go out,
00:04:12.798 --> 00:04:16.578
have fun, find the people, you have to find something to do all the time.
00:04:17.038 --> 00:04:22.798
But at this day and age, I don't know, we get older and in this age, I'm comfortable.
00:04:23.638 --> 00:04:28.198
We're just comfortable, just be home. Yeah. And I loved it, you know?
00:04:28.198 --> 00:04:33.438
So you're looking for someone to be a partner that maybe you want to be a homebody with. Right.
00:04:33.958 --> 00:04:37.838
At this age, yeah. Those party days are over for me. Party days are over.
00:04:37.938 --> 00:04:40.598
So you don't want the guy that's out there drinking it up at the bar.
00:04:40.738 --> 00:04:43.898
You want somebody that you can Netflix and chill with.
00:04:44.198 --> 00:04:49.258
Yeah, you're 50. You're 50, yeah. Or even 40s. 40s, 50s, 60s.
00:04:49.538 --> 00:04:52.478
You know, you're looking for an emotionally mature person, I think, now.
00:04:53.038 --> 00:04:55.918
Yeah, yeah. Somebody that you're comfortable just to, like.
00:04:56.969 --> 00:05:00.889
Cuddle in the couch and watch Netflix. You know, I used to want somebody that
00:05:00.889 --> 00:05:04.069
had potential, but now I don't. I don't want any more projects.
00:05:05.049 --> 00:05:09.169
You and your project. No more projects. I have so many projects I want to do
00:05:09.169 --> 00:05:11.449
around the house. I don't want a man that's a project. Right.
00:05:11.789 --> 00:05:15.389
And I think I also am looking for someone with a growth mindset.
00:05:15.929 --> 00:05:20.669
Right. You know, here's the thing. I think about 80% of the people do not have a growth mindset.
00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:23.929
Only about 20% of the people out there really truly can
00:05:23.929 --> 00:05:26.729
say they have a growth mindset and a growth mindset is someone that
00:05:26.729 --> 00:05:29.929
is not a victim okay that is out there
00:05:29.929 --> 00:05:35.849
doing stuff that is someone that is not constantly calling you and complaining
00:05:35.849 --> 00:05:39.629
about their day telling you how rough it is texting you what they had to go
00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:47.069
through i can't stand it's somebody that is you know confident uh-huh masculine
00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:49.869
yeah and is there to support you.
00:05:50.409 --> 00:05:55.029
But don't think that you get to have a weak mindset if you're going to go after
00:05:55.029 --> 00:05:57.429
someone that's got a growth mindset. I know.
00:05:57.749 --> 00:06:02.309
Because you have to not be a victim. You have to be strong-willed and you have
00:06:02.309 --> 00:06:05.229
to have matured emotionally yourself.
00:06:05.769 --> 00:06:12.129
Yeah. I think it's someone constantly texting you how bad, how good the day went.
00:06:12.369 --> 00:06:14.709
It's just looking for sympathy and attention.
00:06:15.089 --> 00:06:17.749
They're looking for validation. I like it when I get texts and saying,
00:06:17.889 --> 00:06:18.769
hey, I'm having a great day.
00:06:18.769 --> 00:06:21.729
How's your day right but if somebody's sitting there texting
00:06:21.729 --> 00:06:24.949
me oh it's terrible today oh this terrible thing it's like
00:06:24.949 --> 00:06:27.689
okay you need to work on you yeah you're not ready to
00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:33.389
date uh-huh you need to go work on you right because people that
have a growth
00:06:33.389 --> 00:06:37.789
mindset they number one thing is they are responsible for their lives and they
00:06:37.789 --> 00:06:42.169
take accountability and when things are going shitty because everybody goes
00:06:42.169 --> 00:06:47.509
through shit right when things are going shitty they take a step back Maybe they go internally.
00:06:47.909 --> 00:06:51.609
I mean, when I have shit going, hitting the fan, I don't put my shit on other
00:06:51.609 --> 00:06:55.169
people. Oh, no, no, no. I very rarely tell people. I, like, go inward.
00:06:55.529 --> 00:06:58.589
I mean, I didn't even tell my friends I was in the hospital until I had to.
00:06:58.809 --> 00:07:03.109
Right. I go inward, and I just focus on healing myself. Yeah.
00:07:03.469 --> 00:07:06.409
I didn't call you when I got out of the hospital complaining every day how much
00:07:06.409 --> 00:07:08.469
pain I was in. No. You didn't even know.
00:07:09.049 --> 00:07:11.329
Yeah. But I knew you didn't clean. Well, but that's the thing.
00:07:11.449 --> 00:07:15.269
I was like, okay, if you're looking externally, right?
00:07:15.577 --> 00:07:18.537
To fix yourself, even when you're in pain and you're like, oh,
00:07:18.637 --> 00:07:20.857
somebody's got to take care of me. Somebody's got to help me.
00:07:21.397 --> 00:07:24.757
I'm sorry, but the only person that's responsible for you is you.
00:07:25.297 --> 00:07:29.517
And you can have support friends, but you can't lean on them for everything.
00:07:29.797 --> 00:07:33.237
Yeah. And you really need to be, you need to warm it up, if you will.
00:07:33.377 --> 00:07:34.717
You need to get a little tougher.
00:07:34.937 --> 00:07:39.237
Get a little tough. Because if you can be strong and accountable for you,
00:07:39.377 --> 00:07:44.897
you're going to find the person that in the worst of times will be there for
00:07:44.897 --> 00:07:46.837
you. but you shouldn't be relying on them.
00:07:47.317 --> 00:07:50.977
It's kind of like crying wolf. You shouldn't be relying on them for every little thing.
00:07:51.297 --> 00:07:54.857
Oh, yeah. You need to be on your own. You need to be able to stand on your own. Right.
00:07:55.077 --> 00:07:58.437
Because if you cry wolf and complain and you're a victim and everything going
00:07:58.437 --> 00:08:02.857
wrong and you're poor, like... That gets all quick. Nobody wants you. Yeah, nobody wants you.
00:08:03.097 --> 00:08:06.437
Well, actually, you will find a person that wants you and it'll be another person
00:08:06.437 --> 00:08:08.377
that is a project that is also a victim.
00:08:08.797 --> 00:08:11.557
Yeah, you don't want a project anymore, do you? No. No, you're done.
00:08:11.837 --> 00:08:15.897
Emotional maturity means you've evolved to a state of taking responsibility
00:08:15.897 --> 00:08:19.437
and accountability for your life. All the good, bad, and ugly that's happened. Yeah.
00:08:20.017 --> 00:08:23.517
And again, I always tell people the bad is
the time you learn.
00:08:23.677 --> 00:08:28.397
The bad is when you get those great lessons in life that make you a better person. Make you stronger.
00:08:28.717 --> 00:08:33.957
Right. So once you become emotionally mature, then you can get out there and date. Right.
00:08:34.297 --> 00:08:36.657
And you can date by online dating.
00:08:37.277 --> 00:08:41.897
You can date by asking friends. Or, I mean, I guess you could go to a bar,
00:08:42.017 --> 00:08:43.557
but you're going to get somebody that's a drinker.
00:08:43.997 --> 00:08:48.477
Yeah. And I like the networking sites lately. A lot of people have been telling
00:08:48.477 --> 00:08:50.257
me about these different networking things.
00:08:50.437 --> 00:08:53.857
And some of them, there's different groups that are happening that you actually
00:08:53.857 --> 00:08:55.817
have to join, like meet up and things.
00:08:55.977 --> 00:08:59.237
And then there's other groups that you have to get approved to get into.
00:08:59.517 --> 00:09:03.337
Okay. And people are meeting people in these types of groups as well.
00:09:04.077 --> 00:09:07.317
Oh, all those social. Social things. Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:07.537 --> 00:09:10.257
Social networking events where you actually go and meet people.
00:09:10.457 --> 00:09:12.377
Yeah. And then you could do a matchmaker. Right.
00:09:12.577 --> 00:09:16.157
Those only last an hour. So you know, you know, it's good or bad.
00:09:16.377 --> 00:09:19.017
And there's speed dating and all kinds of things that you could do.
00:09:19.137 --> 00:09:21.817
But I think it's easier now to meet people.
00:09:21.857 --> 00:09:25.477
It's just a question of how do you meet quality people? Yes.
00:09:25.817 --> 00:09:29.017
That's why matchmaking, I think, is good. If you're fluent, if you can do a
00:09:29.017 --> 00:09:31.237
matchmaker, I think that's a good way to go, too.
00:09:31.817 --> 00:09:36.797
But only when you're emotionally ready to take the next step.
00:09:37.317 --> 00:09:40.457
Don't hire a matchmaker if you don't want to get married. Because the people
00:09:40.457 --> 00:09:43.177
hiring matchmakers are in it to find a partner.
00:09:43.457 --> 00:09:45.977
A partner. Whether they're going to get married or just have a life partner,
00:09:46.137 --> 00:09:49.097
they're in it to find a partner, a forever partner. Yeah.
00:09:49.657 --> 00:09:55.597
I think when you're ready, you'll know. When you're ready, you'll know. Yeah.
00:09:55.997 --> 00:10:00.377
And there's so many easy ways to find dates these days that you don't have to push.
00:10:00.657 --> 00:10:06.017
No, you don't need to push. You don't need to do much, I don't think.
00:10:06.137 --> 00:10:11.357
I think all of my dates lately have either been from a dating app or from...
00:10:12.274 --> 00:10:19.274
Past ex-boyfriend from college or high school. How does an ex-boyfriend go?
00:10:19.854 --> 00:10:24.354
The ex-boyfriends were fun. Okay. Yeah. We're not going to go there.
00:10:24.514 --> 00:10:27.574
You're not going there. Okay. No, they were good.
00:10:27.894 --> 00:10:30.014
Yeah. They were good.
00:10:31.774 --> 00:10:34.954
You know, the nice thing about going out with an ex, I will say,
00:10:35.014 --> 00:10:36.374
is there's a certain level of comfort.
00:10:36.914 --> 00:10:40.154
Yeah, like you knew each other. We knew each other. And you know what?
00:10:40.534 --> 00:10:46.374
I mean, we changed. Yeah, for sure. But when you know each other in a deep level
00:10:46.374 --> 00:10:49.894
or a deep way, there's a connection that you're not going to find on a first
00:10:49.894 --> 00:10:52.314
date with another person. Yeah.
00:10:52.674 --> 00:10:56.114
Because on a first date, you don't know anything about the other person.
00:10:56.214 --> 00:10:58.934
I mean, you might have texted and talked on the phone and you think you know
00:10:58.934 --> 00:11:00.914
stuff, but you really don't. Right.
00:11:01.234 --> 00:11:04.074
And it's interesting learning people again.
00:11:04.514 --> 00:11:08.474
It's challenging, though. Oh, it's hard. Is it? Yeah.
00:11:08.894 --> 00:11:12.674
At this age, getting to know people deeply is challenging.
00:11:13.494 --> 00:11:16.814
I see, yeah. And when you have children, it's even more challenging.
00:11:17.294 --> 00:11:22.914
I see. Like younger children like I have. Right. And the other side also have the children, too.
00:11:23.174 --> 00:11:26.554
Oh, sometimes the other side has children, too, and it makes it even more challenging.
00:11:26.954 --> 00:11:30.034
The Brady, the, oh, you could be the Brady Bunch.
00:11:30.194 --> 00:11:33.514
It works. The Brady Bunch, yeah. We could be the Brady Bunch,
00:11:33.574 --> 00:11:35.794
but no, I, I just, I find it.
00:11:36.283 --> 00:11:40.503
Meshing a family together like that one thing you need to think of when you
00:11:40.503 --> 00:11:46.203
start dating again is if you get married are you going to merge families and
00:11:46.203 --> 00:11:49.763
and there's times where you're dating and you have young children and they don't
00:11:49.763 --> 00:11:51.943
or they have young children and you don't,
00:11:52.563 --> 00:11:59.043
and the young children don't like your choice of a new partner yes i agree i've
00:11:59.043 --> 00:12:03.363
heard a lot of people that say that not to mix families.
00:12:04.103 --> 00:12:07.023
That wait till the kids are out of school if they're close enough.
00:12:07.383 --> 00:12:12.543
Oh, wow. Because it's a lot to bring a partner into a family dynamic.
00:12:12.863 --> 00:12:17.663
Yeah. I don't even recommend introducing a potential partner for six months.
00:12:18.263 --> 00:12:22.243
I think if they are little, little, that will be easier.
00:12:22.663 --> 00:12:27.583
Or either that, they're out of house. In between age, that's when the middle
00:12:27.583 --> 00:12:28.883
school and the high school age.
00:12:28.963 --> 00:12:31.583
The middle and high school is difficult.
Although if they're close to high school,
00:12:31.703 --> 00:12:34.043
you'd only have two or three years or four years to wait.
00:12:34.283 --> 00:12:37.403
But it is challenging. And here's the thing.
00:12:38.003 --> 00:12:43.883
If let's say it was a divorce or death of a spouse or just a guy that was around
00:12:43.883 --> 00:12:48.883
for a while, you're bringing a new man or a new woman into a household.
00:12:50.823 --> 00:12:55.283
And that person is going to have to bend their personality a lot in order to
00:12:55.283 --> 00:13:00.843
make sure that they don't offend the child. And then there's the question of, you know, discipline.
00:13:01.203 --> 00:13:03.443
Right. I came from a mixed family, too.
00:13:03.863 --> 00:13:07.643
Because my dad passed away when I was young. And then my mom remarried again.
00:13:07.823 --> 00:13:10.203
Did she take you into consideration before she married?
00:13:10.403 --> 00:13:15.983
Yeah, she talked to all of us, yeah. And then my stepdad also had five kids of his own.
00:13:16.103 --> 00:13:19.063
Oh, my goodness. So it was a total mesh of a family.
00:13:19.203 --> 00:13:22.323
Right. But the good thing is we live in different continents.
00:13:22.623 --> 00:13:29.103
That's why we talk, we keep in touch. But now it seems like we're all here together. Yeah, I think,
00:13:29.739 --> 00:13:33.319
The time that we're here together, right now we are older, so we don't have
00:13:33.319 --> 00:13:37.379
those drama. But did you have drama when you were growing up because of the mixed family?
00:13:37.599 --> 00:13:42.679
No, we don't because we live in a different country. So that makes a big difference. Gotcha. Yeah.
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.379
Well, I think when you mix families, you have to be careful.
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.379
Oh, yeah. The thing is, is that a lot of people will find that,
00:13:50.599 --> 00:13:54.479
let's say a man comes into your household and he wants to discipline your children.
00:13:55.579 --> 00:13:58.559
Some women don't like the way men discipline their children. and
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.339
some women are okay and then some men don't like
00:14:01.339 --> 00:14:04.379
the way the woman disciplines the children yeah and
00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:07.539
then some men are okay i mean it depends yes actually some
00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:10.279
of them break up after that because a lot of
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.059
people will break up yeah when they're dating someone new
00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:16.239
when they introduce them to the family because it's just not a match it's
00:14:16.239 --> 00:14:19.259
not a match and then you have to remember if you're
00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:22.659
dating someone new and you already have your own kid you're
00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:25.439
always going to be the primary for your kid yeah i agree with
00:14:25.439 --> 00:14:28.419
that yeah i think if a woman has a strong just
00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:31.319
like i i love my children right oh my
00:14:31.319 --> 00:14:34.139
children are very close right but i also have a strong
00:14:34.139 --> 00:14:36.779
disciplinary like they know not to
00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:39.459
get out of line right and my kids are really good you've seen
00:14:39.459 --> 00:14:42.919
them yeah and they're very respectful i would
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.259
like to bring a man in that teaches them how to be manly
00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:48.959
and how to be chivalrous better than i
00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:51.719
can but i think i should be
00:14:51.719 --> 00:14:54.899
the primary for discipline and i shouldn't be putting that on
00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:57.879
a partner a partner no yeah i totally agree
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.579
you should be the primary because now and i.
00:15:00.579 --> 00:15:03.319
Don't know if i would get upset if if a
00:15:03.319 --> 00:15:06.279
partner disciplined my children but it would depend on
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.259
how extreme they were right because like i don't
00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:12.119
ever hit my children and i don't ever abuse my children
00:15:12.119 --> 00:15:15.419
and i discipline but i discipline that the discipline
00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:18.239
i set is within reason yeah and if i brought
00:15:18.239 --> 00:15:21.179
someone in they might over the top discipline right
00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:25.179
so then you have to have that conversation when you're dating as well yeah oh
00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:31.059
yeah definitely yes see the challenge i mean when you date and you have children
00:15:31.059 --> 00:15:36.459
it's almost like not only do you need to find a man partner for you but you
00:15:36.459 --> 00:15:40.219
also need to find a man that would be good fit for your children,
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.639
and that's the challenge oh yeah yeah i
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.919
feel really i feel really difficult for
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.159
the men and women nowadays it's challenging to
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.119
be mixed family it is and then you have the teenagers
00:15:55.119 --> 00:15:57.979
that don't want to pay attention to you anyway right they don't want to get
00:15:57.979 --> 00:16:02.559
your face yeah you know my my son said mom you're not going to remarry until
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.339
i'm out of high school is this really he laid down the law he's like well you're
00:16:06.339 --> 00:16:11.419
not getting remarried i go honey that's not for you to say right but thank you
00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:13.539
for your input but he doesn't want me to.
00:16:14.273 --> 00:16:17.473
I think it was a teenager stage. Well, here's the problem.
00:16:17.773 --> 00:16:21.013
By the time he gets out of high school, my other one will be going into high
00:16:21.013 --> 00:16:23.993
school. You see, next thing you know, you'll be too old. I know.
00:16:24.333 --> 00:16:27.773
So you're never too old. Never too old. I know. I take that back.
00:16:27.933 --> 00:16:29.833
You're never too old. Never too old.
00:16:31.333 --> 00:16:34.413
You do need to realize that they are going to have a strong opinion.
00:16:34.633 --> 00:16:38.133
Yeah. And you have to take that into consideration.
00:16:38.733 --> 00:16:42.333
Yeah. You're never too old to fall off. I know why. Because my mom in nursing
00:16:42.333 --> 00:16:47.033
home right now. The 75-year-old and the 80-years-old, they so much in love to
00:16:47.033 --> 00:16:48.613
meet each other in the nestling home.
00:16:48.793 --> 00:16:51.053
Remember, my dad got married after 14 days.
00:16:51.413 --> 00:16:55.653
I know. You can find love again. You see, I take that back.
00:16:56.053 --> 00:16:58.913
So the big thing, though, is to respect yourself.
00:16:59.893 --> 00:17:02.033
Respect your partner. Respect your limits.
00:17:03.393 --> 00:17:06.633
And don't put someone in a situation that you know is not going to work.
00:17:06.693 --> 00:17:11.613
For instance, I dated guys where their places were meticulous.
00:17:12.353 --> 00:17:15.113
And super clean and you could tell they've
00:17:15.113 --> 00:17:18.553
been a bachelor and bringing them
00:17:18.553 --> 00:17:21.433
into my house where i have dogs and
00:17:21.433 --> 00:17:24.093
cats and kids and i have a
00:17:24.093 --> 00:17:27.233
i keep my house decent but i'm not meticulous anymore
00:17:27.233 --> 00:17:31.713
i can't be i will be once my kids are gone when those dogs are gone you got
00:17:31.713 --> 00:17:37.433
three big dogs i have three big dogs so and three cats thanks for telling everybody
00:17:37.433 --> 00:17:44.813
my my zoo situation so she's And I have frogs and turtles and fish and ants,
00:17:44.893 --> 00:17:46.933
too. We have ants. Ants are part of the family now, too.
00:17:47.133 --> 00:17:50.053
We have an ant collection. So, yes, we have a zoo here.
00:17:51.133 --> 00:17:55.433
But once they're gone, things will be more meticulous because I used to live
00:17:55.433 --> 00:17:57.413
very meticulously before the children, I will say.
00:17:58.533 --> 00:18:04.373
So that you have to realize there are men that can't handle the chaos of what
00:18:04.373 --> 00:18:08.193
a family is like, especially if their children are grown. Right.
00:18:08.467 --> 00:18:14.947
I, oh my God, I agree. So introducing someone into that chaos is, would be a challenge.
00:18:15.127 --> 00:18:19.807
And I don't like to change people. And I wouldn't want to put anyone in a situation
00:18:19.807 --> 00:18:20.967
they don't feel comfortable in.
00:18:21.287 --> 00:18:23.607
Well, I'll tell you something. I always be a mess.
00:18:24.327 --> 00:18:26.567
You're always, yeah, you're always a mess. I'm always a mess.
00:18:26.567 --> 00:18:29.247
But your, your husband found you a mess.
00:18:29.467 --> 00:18:33.107
You haven't changed. You've been a mess the whole time. And he accepted my mess.
00:18:33.107 --> 00:18:34.387
And he loves your messiness.
00:18:34.707 --> 00:18:37.707
Right. Well,
he may not love it, but he's, he endures it.
00:18:37.867 --> 00:18:43.747
Yeah. He accepted it. And he's in the men still fold the underwear the way coming
00:18:43.747 --> 00:18:46.667
out from the package. Yes. He's very meticulous.
00:18:47.627 --> 00:18:50.807
But he accepts my mess. And he accepts your messiness. And that's fine.
00:18:50.807 --> 00:18:52.827
But you've been married for a while.
00:18:52.967 --> 00:19:00.507
I'm talking about dating someone that is living in their perfect little peaceful
00:19:00.507 --> 00:19:01.947
harmony. And I love peace.
00:19:02.067 --> 00:19:05.307
Don't get me wrong. I have peace, but I make my own peace in every situation
00:19:05.307 --> 00:19:06.147
because I have children.
00:19:07.167 --> 00:19:10.387
And I they have their own peace and
00:19:10.387 --> 00:19:14.327
their own joy and I have my own peace and joy over here even though it's chaotic
00:19:14.327 --> 00:19:20.307
yeah and I get that my life is a little chaotic and rushed and because I'm running
00:19:20.307 --> 00:19:24.227
around always I mean when I'm not working and doing stuff for me I'm doing stuff
00:19:24.227 --> 00:19:29.567
for the kids in the household and then you have the challenge when you're dating of finding time,
00:19:30.147 --> 00:19:34.487
because when you're running around with the kids from drop-off,
00:19:34.587 --> 00:19:39.627
pick-up, drop-off, pick-up on top of working full-time, on top of taking care of your self-care,
00:19:40.147 --> 00:19:41.967
now you got to add a man into that.
00:19:42.738 --> 00:19:49.638
That man better be flexible and he better be supportive because he's not going
00:19:49.638 --> 00:19:51.178
to be another one for you to take care of.
00:19:51.218 --> 00:19:53.798
No, I can't take a project. I don't need more projects. Yeah.
00:19:54.058 --> 00:19:58.138
No, but they have to be understanding that your schedule is not your own yet. Right, right.
00:19:58.518 --> 00:20:01.118
Yeah, they need to understand that. And they need to kind of,
00:20:01.258 --> 00:20:04.198
whenever you have availability, be able to weave in and out.
00:20:04.458 --> 00:20:06.978
Yeah, especially you. You have your kids full time. I do.
00:20:07.298 --> 00:20:13.598
You know? I have my kids full time. Yeah, so whoever that walked into your life
00:20:13.598 --> 00:20:18.018
at this stage, they need to be very, very understandable for that.
00:20:18.178 --> 00:20:19.998
I know, and that's hard to find.
00:20:20.358 --> 00:20:23.478
On top of the fact that they have to be freaking awesome to be with me.
00:20:24.598 --> 00:20:29.878
I'm telling you, there's always someone for someone. God always gives you the right person.
00:20:29.998 --> 00:20:34.198
I'm telling you, you just need to open your heart, open your ear, open your eyes.
00:20:34.798 --> 00:20:38.958
All right, I'm looking. I'm looking. All right. So you need to make sure you're
00:20:38.958 --> 00:20:41.118
respectful of you, respectful of them.
00:20:41.638 --> 00:20:45.238
I say at this age, you should not be playing games.
00:20:45.598 --> 00:20:48.718
No, no playing game and no hiding corner. You know what I mean?
00:20:48.878 --> 00:20:51.218
What do you mean hiding? Like, lay it out on the table.
00:20:51.638 --> 00:20:57.158
Yeah, don't hide or lie. Yeah. If you're hiding and lying dating, here's the thing.
00:20:57.298 --> 00:21:01.878
If I find out you're lying to me while we're dating or hiding shit while we're dating, we're done.
00:21:02.278 --> 00:21:07.298
Yeah. I was with a spouse that lied. I don't want that S-H-I-T anymore.
00:21:08.498 --> 00:21:13.078
I don't want that shit anymore. So I think. I won't put up with it. Yeah.
00:21:13.498 --> 00:21:16.838
You agree or not? Like, you're just first dating, right? You should be truthful
00:21:16.838 --> 00:21:18.298
to each other. You should not hide.
00:21:18.658 --> 00:21:21.298
Like, a trip you're going to take with your girlfriend, you should be able to
00:21:21.298 --> 00:21:23.418
tell them. Oh, yeah. Right? Absolutely.
00:21:23.818 --> 00:21:27.678
Yeah. Like, something wrong with you, you should be able to tell them.
00:21:27.798 --> 00:21:30.678
Yeah, if you have health issues, you should disclose that.
00:21:31.118 --> 00:21:35.358
Right? Well, maybe not right up front, but before you start dating them,
00:21:35.438 --> 00:21:38.538
they should know. Right. Because they may not want to date you. Right.
00:21:38.918 --> 00:21:42.078
Regardless, you know, you have a financial issue or whatever,
00:21:42.238 --> 00:21:45.158
but you're tripping your friend. You should go to tell your...
00:21:45.520 --> 00:21:48.220
Whoever you're dating that you can you do it right away yeah
00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:51.140
you should tell them you're going on trips you should also be honest
00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:54.000
whether you're dating other people why you should be honest
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.920
whether you're ready to get married yeah you should be honest whether
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.900
you're ever wanting to get married because some people they
00:21:59.900 --> 00:22:03.040
come out of a divorce they come out of the death of a spouse and they
00:22:03.040 --> 00:22:05.700
want to date but they just do that because they want to
00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:09.000
spend time with people they don't want to get married again yeah and especially you
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.860
if you're gonna plan to be with
00:22:11.860 --> 00:22:14.740
this person you should be able to not hiding
00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:18.280
anything yes and don't let
00:22:18.280 --> 00:22:22.180
talk about who you are reveal yourself don't
00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:27.180
future fake and what a future fake is is where you talk about the future with
00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:32.160
someone that you have no intention of actually performing and there are people
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:36.640
out there that make promises and they'll say oh we should go to
italy together
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.180
soon or oh we should take a trip to the Alps,
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:43.140
or we should go to Florida, or we should go to Mexico, or wherever.
00:22:43.520 --> 00:22:46.660
Or, oh, I would love to spend the weekend with you. And then they cancel.
00:22:47.260 --> 00:22:52.800
And I've had that in my dating, where I've had a person make promises to go
00:22:52.800 --> 00:22:54.140
somewhere, and then they cancel.
00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:57.500
Or say they want to be with me, and then they cancel.
00:22:58.060 --> 00:23:03.380
And I don't know if it's insecurity, if it's fear of attachment.
00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:08.840
I don't know if it's just future faking or lying. But it's a red flag to me.
00:23:09.060 --> 00:23:13.860
And if somebody tells me they're going to show up and they don't, I don't trust them.
00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:18.000
And if it happens more than once, I don't really want to be with them.
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:24.040
And so don't fantasize, you know, don't make these future fantasies about what
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:27.120
you're going to do with somebody or make promises you're not going to keep.
00:23:27.768 --> 00:23:31.648
Because that's lying, as far as I can say. That goes both ways,
00:23:31.668 --> 00:23:32.688
though. It goes both ways.
00:23:32.868 --> 00:23:37.048
And then on your own, don't fantasize about a future that doesn't exist just
00:23:37.048 --> 00:23:39.068
because you dated a couple people.
00:23:39.328 --> 00:23:42.068
Uh-huh. And don't become a stalker.
00:23:42.348 --> 00:23:45.768
Uh-huh. Because there's lots of people out there. Oh, my God.
00:23:45.908 --> 00:23:50.148
There are so—and I, you know, I'm in my 50s. And they say, oh,
00:23:50.228 --> 00:23:52.628
it's hard to date in your 50s. I say BS.
00:23:52.948 --> 00:23:57.008
No, no, no. I call bullshit bullshit. Right. Because I'm not finding it very hard to date.
00:23:57.008 --> 00:24:02.568
And there's so many people out there i could go out with and what i'm finding is how to.
00:24:03.168 --> 00:24:06.028
Eliminate the creepoids because there's some creepy people out there
00:24:06.028 --> 00:24:08.988
there's some people that you message once
00:24:08.988 --> 00:24:11.888
and they are like like i messaged a guy one
00:24:11.888 --> 00:24:14.768
time and he friended me on facebook friend of me on instagram started
00:24:14.768 --> 00:24:17.888
online stalking me all over the place messaging me
00:24:17.888 --> 00:24:20.948
every morning and night and i'd only messaged him.
00:24:20.948 --> 00:24:23.788
Once and i had like 10 messages and that's
00:24:23.788 --> 00:24:26.688
a little much yeah and I had to I unfriended him
00:24:26.688 --> 00:24:29.728
because it was it was becoming creepy and stalking
00:24:29.728 --> 00:24:33.128
and I blocked him on everything because I was just like dude I
00:24:33.128 --> 00:24:35.968
messaged you once and now you're like asking me you
00:24:35.968 --> 00:24:38.868
know what my favorite position is and what my favorite I
00:24:38.868 --> 00:24:42.448
mean I was like creeped out it was gross and scary and
00:24:42.448 --> 00:24:46.208
it was too much that's the
00:24:46.208 --> 00:24:49.188
hard part is keep the creeps away while you
00:24:49.188 --> 00:24:52.048
know entertaining the people that are decent and then
00:24:52.048 --> 00:24:55.168
trying to find from that decent pool of people
00:24:55.168 --> 00:24:58.268
uh-huh the the ones that are exceptional and
00:24:58.268 --> 00:25:01.408
then from the exceptional ones then finding your wand because there
00:25:01.408 --> 00:25:04.568
are plenty there's hundreds of people out there that maybe
00:25:04.568 --> 00:25:07.528
thousands in my age group that i could entertain that
00:25:07.528 --> 00:25:10.208
is scary though it is scary you gotta stay away from the
00:25:10.208 --> 00:25:13.328
stalkers yeah yeah because the
00:25:13.328 --> 00:25:16.468
stalkers always lead to accept obsession it
00:25:16.468 --> 00:25:19.868
does right yeah it does i've seen in movie yes
00:25:19.868 --> 00:25:23.088
i also think that you shouldn't rush
00:25:23.088 --> 00:25:25.808
intimacy even at our
00:25:25.808 --> 00:25:29.208
age yeah totally agree now
00:25:29.208 --> 00:25:32.348
everybody has different ideas of rushing
00:25:32.348 --> 00:25:37.168
but chemistry doesn't mean you're going to be compatible and here's the other
00:25:37.168 --> 00:25:42.508
thing i've realized you can have sexual chemistry you can have emotional chemistry
00:25:42.508 --> 00:25:46.568
you can have financial chemistry or compatibility you can have you know physical
00:25:46.568 --> 00:25:49.888
but it's it's challenging to find all in one person.
00:25:50.088 --> 00:25:53.668
Like, do they do you physically connect? Like, do you like the way they look?
00:25:54.008 --> 00:25:57.348
Wow. Is different than do you have sexual chemistry?
00:25:58.128 --> 00:26:01.208
Because you could not like the way they look.
00:26:01.941 --> 00:26:06.181
And get really turned on by them. Huh, how that works.
00:26:09.321 --> 00:26:12.541
Well. What are you trying to beat race? Well, Diva Cat.
00:26:12.841 --> 00:26:15.521
Well, we talk about detail, right? We're talking about details.
00:26:15.801 --> 00:26:18.141
You could be like, okay, they're okay physically.
00:26:18.461 --> 00:26:21.921
I may not like the way they look physically, but when they kiss you,
00:26:22.141 --> 00:26:25.041
you're sexually turned on.
00:26:25.261 --> 00:26:30.321
Oh, I see. And you get wet, if you want the details, from kissing them.
00:26:30.321 --> 00:26:37.141
Or you get it's just passionate like butterfly like butterflies like passionate
00:26:37.141 --> 00:26:42.281
kissing see there's a sexual chemistry there and i'm not saying you've had sex
00:26:42.281 --> 00:26:46.721
already but you can tell from kissing a person if you have a sexual chemistry
00:26:46.721 --> 00:26:48.261
so when you go out
on these dates,
00:26:48.941 --> 00:26:52.721
some people don't say say don't kiss on the first date i'm all about kissing
00:26:52.721 --> 00:26:57.101
on the first date because I don't want a second date if I don't like the way they kiss. Right.
00:26:58.581 --> 00:27:04.161
And if I don't kiss a person on the first date, the first date really sucked.
00:27:04.261 --> 00:27:05.941
Right. And I definitely don't want a first date.
00:27:06.101 --> 00:27:10.261
So, like, if I'm willing to kiss you at the end of a first date,
00:27:10.281 --> 00:27:12.661
I think it's because the first date went well.
00:27:13.921 --> 00:27:17.601
And that's kind of like the cherry on top to determine whether I want a second date.
00:27:17.901 --> 00:27:24.401
I see. Does that make sense? Yeah. So, like, I'll give a person a hug or a handshake
00:27:24.401 --> 00:27:27.261
at the end of a date if that was it.
00:27:27.541 --> 00:27:30.181
Yeah. So, it might be, like, in your eyes. It might be, like,
00:27:30.201 --> 00:27:33.921
he's just okay looking. He's okay. But he could turn on. But, boy, that kiss.
00:27:34.101 --> 00:27:37.001
Oh, okay. That's defined. There's actually something that kiss.
00:27:37.201 --> 00:27:41.421
I mean, that, you know, when they kiss you, if they can make you,
00:27:42.101 --> 00:27:45.941
give you butterflies or turn you on, there's something there.
00:27:46.701 --> 00:27:52.321
I've had people that the first date went okay, and then they kiss me and they turn me off.
00:27:52.981 --> 00:27:55.801
And even though you're attracted by the way they look?
00:27:56.141 --> 00:28:00.001
I was attracted intellectually because they were super smart. Okay.
00:28:00.281 --> 00:28:06.181
I was attracted kind of emotionally, although they looked a little still traumatized
00:28:06.181 --> 00:28:08.881
from their last relationship. But it was workable.
00:28:09.881 --> 00:28:13.841
And I was physically and sexually attracted to them.
00:28:13.841 --> 00:28:17.381
From talking to them on the phone I thought and then
00:28:17.381 --> 00:28:20.661
I kissed them and odor for
00:28:20.661 --> 00:28:23.661
me is a big thing if you have body odor it's a no-no oh no yeah
00:28:23.661 --> 00:28:27.021
kissing if you make my face wet it's a no-no don't
00:28:27.021 --> 00:28:30.701
don't don't slobber all over my face yeah no I mean everybody's different some
00:28:30.701 --> 00:28:36.761
people may like the slobber who knows but if after kissing them it does I don't
00:28:36.761 --> 00:28:41.801
go on a second date yeah and I had one guy like pin me up against a car and
00:28:41.801 --> 00:28:44.081
I mean it was what I was supposed to be a pet kiss,
00:28:44.241 --> 00:28:48.421
and he ended up making it a makeout session with my face, and I had to pull away.
00:28:49.149 --> 00:28:53.489
I gave him a hug and said, I'm not into PDAs in a parking lot in front of children
00:28:53.489 --> 00:28:54.589
because there were children nearby.
00:28:55.129 --> 00:29:00.469
Yeah. And I was like, oh, my gosh. And it was, I mean, I gave him a quick peck
00:29:00.469 --> 00:29:04.329
goodbye and it was it turned into a makeout session that he was making out with
00:29:04.329 --> 00:29:05.969
my face. And I was kind of just standing there.
00:29:06.469 --> 00:29:10.489
So that was not a good end to a first date. It would have been.
00:29:10.609 --> 00:29:12.349
I would have gone on a second date. Uh-huh.
00:29:12.589 --> 00:29:16.909
But he kind of ruined it. So after that, it was just the end of it. After that, it was done.
00:29:17.249 --> 00:29:21.209
Mm-hmm. I would say the majority of my dates are hugs or handshakes at the end.
00:29:21.889 --> 00:29:25.569
So you can cycle through a lot of guys. Go for coffee.
00:29:25.769 --> 00:29:31.269
I mean, I think coffee's great because then you're not committed to anything. Yeah.
00:29:31.869 --> 00:29:37.349
Coffee's quick. Yeah. And if you're consistent and you're emotionally available
00:29:37.349 --> 00:29:39.849
and you're clear to the other person on what you're looking for.
00:29:41.049 --> 00:29:43.529
And they are too, you can see green and red flags.
00:29:43.629 --> 00:29:47.249
Now, here's the thing. my red flags aren't
00:29:47.249 --> 00:29:50.069
other people's red flags right like if if
00:29:50.069 --> 00:29:53.529
someone's a victim that's a red flag for me yeah but
00:29:53.529 --> 00:29:56.309
some other people may like oh i can help
00:29:56.309 --> 00:29:59.389
you with that and some people like projects some people
00:29:59.389 --> 00:30:02.509
do some people do they're attracted to that and they
00:30:02.509 --> 00:30:05.389
don't care as long as the guy has money or they don't care as long
00:30:05.389 --> 00:30:08.149
as the guy looks good i'm not attracted to that
00:30:08.149 --> 00:30:11.909
right i want a masculine man that's not a project yeah
00:30:11.909 --> 00:30:14.709
but my green flags are different than
00:30:14.709 --> 00:30:17.769
other people's and my red flags are different than other people's really different
00:30:17.769 --> 00:30:21.549
than yours for sure yeah for sure yeah i know i've been the same guy for the
00:30:21.549 --> 00:30:26.049
past 25 years yeah but you've gone through things right and there's been red
00:30:26.049 --> 00:30:30.689
flags and green flags don't ever stop when you're married the reason why you
00:30:30.689 --> 00:30:35.969
have boundaries in your marriage is because you block any red flags.
00:30:36.129 --> 00:30:39.589
Like if you're, let's say, and I'm not saying your husband is,
00:30:39.689 --> 00:30:43.029
let's say you're with a partner and they hit you. Mm-hmm.
00:30:43.694 --> 00:30:50.074
Do you stay? I just saw a movie about that. Did you? Yeah. You watch so many darn movies.
00:30:50.674 --> 00:30:53.234
What are you going to do? You know, we can be on the internet.
00:30:53.414 --> 00:30:57.714
Open bottle. Oh, well, you can come over here or you can help me with my
landscaping. Oh, yeah, no.
00:31:00.254 --> 00:31:03.814
So, let's say you're with a partner and they hit you. For me,
00:31:03.994 --> 00:31:06.894
that's a red flag. No, to me, it's when it gets physical.
00:31:07.414 --> 00:31:12.814
Is it a red flag for you? Oh, yeah, no. So, you have a boundary so that if your partner ever hit you.
00:31:13.134 --> 00:31:18.134
No. In a marriage, you would be gone. Oh, yeah. Other people would not.
00:31:18.854 --> 00:31:23.094
Yeah. They would stay. That's true. They'd say it's just once.
00:31:23.274 --> 00:31:26.574
And maybe it is just once. Most of the time it's not, though, by the way. It's not.
00:31:27.114 --> 00:31:32.054
Let's say your partner yells at you. Is that a green flag or a red flag? It's a red flag.
00:31:32.294 --> 00:31:35.634
See, some people, I took a lot of yelling and abuse. Abuse?
00:31:36.414 --> 00:31:40.774
Verbal abuse. There's verbal abuse. There's physical abuse. It comes all kinds.
00:31:40.934 --> 00:31:45.054
Yeah. Some people yell at you, no. No one, no. No one yelled at me. Uh-uh.
00:31:45.554 --> 00:31:49.094
See, so there, and see, I didn't have a boundary before, but now I do.
00:31:49.294 --> 00:31:53.554
So if someone yells at me now, I'm out the door. Right. Whereas before, I took it.
00:31:54.134 --> 00:32:00.334
Oh. I had that boundary a long time ago, but I had to remember that boundary after I got divorced.
00:32:00.614 --> 00:32:04.294
So hopefully, it never happens again, but those are boundaries.
00:32:04.294 --> 00:32:08.014
So if you're emotionally available and you're clear on what you want,
00:32:08.234 --> 00:32:11.454
you may find a person that's wonderful.
00:32:11.654 --> 00:32:16.034
And then as time goes on, six months in, nine months in, 12 months in,
00:32:16.154 --> 00:32:19.874
they switch and they change their personality a little bit.
00:32:19.954 --> 00:32:22.354
And that's the challenge, too. You got to trust your gut.
00:32:22.774 --> 00:32:26.794
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because if you start seeing red flags nine months in,
00:32:26.994 --> 00:32:28.154
it's only going to get worse.
00:32:28.154 --> 00:32:33.194
And if you have boundaries And you know You say no You can't treat me that way
00:32:33.194 --> 00:32:38.054
It might be time for you to walk Yeah Nine months I think If it's gonna red
00:32:38.054 --> 00:32:42.174
flags The first couple days You should red flags you already Yeah I think you
00:32:42.174 --> 00:32:44.654
do I think you see red flags Right in the beginning Unless you.
00:32:45.306 --> 00:32:49.326
Decide not to see it and keep continuing. But that just means you're not emotionally
00:32:49.326 --> 00:32:51.406
ready to date. Yeah. It really does.
00:32:51.746 --> 00:32:56.006
Here's one thing I think we need to remember. When we come out of a divorce
00:32:56.006 --> 00:33:00.966
or a long relationship or a narcissistic relationship, a tragedy,
00:33:01.126 --> 00:33:06.606
a death of a spouse, we have to remember that we are important. Mm-hmm.
00:33:06.866 --> 00:33:09.826
And our value is important. Yes.
00:33:09.986 --> 00:33:14.686
And how we feel is important. And if we don't respect ourselves first,
00:33:14.726 --> 00:33:19.086
there is no way that we can find a partner that fits us.
00:33:19.326 --> 00:33:22.706
Yeah, me come first. I had this discussion with my trainer today.
00:33:22.946 --> 00:33:29.146
I said it's so important that you value yourself first and that you fill your
00:33:29.146 --> 00:33:31.466
cup up first before you start dating again.
00:33:32.106 --> 00:33:36.946
That way, if people start to disrespect you, you can just walk away.
00:33:37.586 --> 00:33:41.226
If you don't fill your cup up or if you don't realize your value,
00:33:41.526 --> 00:33:47.506
you'll cling to that person and stay in a bad relationship much longer than you should.
00:33:47.786 --> 00:33:51.366
Remember we talked about that in one episode, miserably comfortable.
00:33:51.586 --> 00:33:54.246
Yes, miserably comfortable. If you're miserably comfortable,
00:33:54.546 --> 00:33:58.926
you will stick around. Yeah, yeah. So fill your cup up. Make sure you're happy.
00:33:59.686 --> 00:34:03.206
Know your worth. Know what you bring to the table. And don't,
00:34:03.326 --> 00:34:08.166
you can date here and there, but don't get into a relationship until you're
00:34:08.166 --> 00:34:10.586
at a place where you're fully loving yourself.
00:34:10.906 --> 00:34:16.206
Yeah. So now after you're dating, you see a person, when do you know the first
00:34:16.206 --> 00:34:17.306
time you're going to make out?
00:34:17.732 --> 00:34:20.792
How'd you know? You come naturally? Well, that's the second date.
00:34:23.352 --> 00:34:29.152
Well, you know, it depends. No, usually it's not the second date.
00:34:29.352 --> 00:34:34.392
Like it's third, fourth, fifth, somewhere in there. I don't think there's a rule.
00:34:34.772 --> 00:34:39.772
I think it depends on how connected you're feeling to someone.
00:34:39.992 --> 00:34:41.892
And are you leveling up? Are you leveling down?
00:34:42.232 --> 00:34:46.152
Is there sexual chemistry? Is there physical chemistry? Is there emotional, mental?
00:34:46.332 --> 00:34:52.212
Here's the thing. I can be sexually attracted to a guy that I'm intellectually attracted to as well.
00:34:53.272 --> 00:34:58.132
Physically, maybe they're not all that, but they're smart, and I'm attracted
00:34:58.132 --> 00:34:59.352
because they're so smart.
00:34:59.672 --> 00:35:03.792
Yes, I love that. There's a physical attraction that that leads to a sexual
00:35:03.792 --> 00:35:05.772
attraction. I think you have to have two.
00:35:06.092 --> 00:35:09.672
That's where it really... I mean, a guy can turn me on because they're smart,
00:35:09.832 --> 00:35:12.732
because I'm sapiosexual, where you're turned on to smart people.
00:35:12.972 --> 00:35:16.152
But a guy with a really good body could turn me on as well.
00:35:16.992 -->
00:35:20.872
And so if they're physically attractive, I could be sexually attractive.
00:35:21.032 --> 00:35:24.232
Now, I don't know if the physically attractive will turn into a relationship
00:35:24.232 --> 00:35:27.032
because there has to be something behind the physical.
00:35:27.792 --> 00:35:31.612
Like they could be a play toy for a while. And I'm sorry, I mean,
00:35:31.632 --> 00:35:33.392
I said that, but that's how women talk.
00:35:34.072 --> 00:35:36.652
Men talk about that as women and women talk about that as men.
00:35:36.792 --> 00:35:40.792
They could be a sexual play thing for a while where we're having fun.
00:35:40.792 --> 00:35:44.032
But there has to be something more than just a physical body,
00:35:44.592 --> 00:35:47.892
sexual chemistry. There has to be something you have in common.
00:35:48.352 --> 00:35:51.072
Right. Some intellectual thing you can talk about, you know.
00:35:51.172 --> 00:35:53.512
Sometimes they're smart. Maybe it's spiritual things.
00:35:53.692 --> 00:35:57.852
Maybe it's holistic things. Something that you have in common.
00:35:58.132 --> 00:36:00.872
Otherwise, there's nothing there. Yeah.
00:36:01.978 --> 00:36:06.338
So, some people connect. You know, I do yoga. And I've seen a lot.
00:36:06.478 --> 00:36:09.058
Some people are very connected spiritually.
00:36:09.478 --> 00:36:12.998
Yes. Some people have sex on the first date. I just don't. Yeah.
00:36:13.558 --> 00:36:16.818
Or some people have sex with a yoga instructor, but we're not going to go there.
00:36:18.978 --> 00:36:24.258
I don't think there's a magic number. I think you have to align with the other person.
00:36:24.498 --> 00:36:27.598
Right. I think you have to align with your values, your energy,
00:36:27.678 --> 00:36:31.898
and your self-worth. I don't think you should go have sex with someone until you're ready.
00:36:32.758 --> 00:36:35.858
And if it's been a long time oh like
00:36:35.858 --> 00:36:38.978
yes it's been a long time for me yes i understand diva
00:36:38.978 --> 00:36:41.678
cat and you may go through dry spells you may date with
00:36:41.678 --> 00:36:45.438
somebody for a while and then you go
00:36:45.438 --> 00:36:48.718
through a dry spell of four or five months i know
00:36:48.718 --> 00:36:51.798
it was really rough and you go
00:36:51.798 --> 00:36:54.598
through a dry spell of no sex and when do
00:36:54.598 --> 00:36:58.318
you have sex and i will say it's challenging
00:36:58.318 --> 00:37:02.538
amazing or challenging it's challenging to stay celibate
00:37:02.538 --> 00:37:05.678
for four or five months it's challenging right to
00:37:05.678 --> 00:37:08.798
not have sex for that long yeah and then to
00:37:08.798 --> 00:37:11.658
reconnect you said being human with a human yeah of course
00:37:11.658 --> 00:37:15.138
a self-pleasure is different yeah self-pleasure sex
00:37:15.138 --> 00:37:17.978
with another person it it's it's different
00:37:17.978 --> 00:37:20.758
yeah then when you have self-pleasure it's
00:37:20.758 --> 00:37:23.618
you miss it yeah you miss that
00:37:23.618 --> 00:37:26.758
you miss the connection and i will say sex with
00:37:26.758 --> 00:37:29.598
a person is different because when i have sex with a person i don't
00:37:29.598 --> 00:37:32.478
need it right away again yeah whereas if i
00:37:32.478 --> 00:37:35.298
you know if there's a masturbation thing going on i
00:37:35.298 --> 00:37:38.038
need it every day you know that's true but when i
00:37:38.038 --> 00:37:42.958
have sex with a man it's it's for it fulfill you well i'm a little sore afterwards
00:37:42.958 --> 00:37:49.418
too but yeah it's fulfilling oh yes there's that yeah so if there if you've
00:37:49.418 --> 00:37:57.358
not had sex for a while ladies and you work out a lot you get tighter down there and you're
00:37:57.729 --> 00:38:01.549
Then when you have sex again, you've got to be careful not to hurt yourself.
00:38:02.369 --> 00:38:05.529
So you may be turned on and think, oh, it's fine, but you may still need some
00:38:05.529 --> 00:38:07.809
lube on top of that. So you've got to be careful.
00:38:08.209 --> 00:38:11.809
You'll be sore for the next five days. Because you might be a little sore.
00:38:11.829 --> 00:38:15.269
I don't have fun in the next five days, but you might be a little sore afterwards.
00:38:15.609 --> 00:38:19.289
Yeah, because it's been a long time. Yeah, it's been a long time.
00:38:20.109 --> 00:38:24.329
Wow. Yeah. Sex isn't a reward. It's a choice. You get to choose.
00:38:24.489 --> 00:38:26.329
And it's got to be your choice, not theirs.
00:38:26.649 --> 00:38:29.969
Yeah. It had to be your choice. It had to be pleasurable.
00:38:30.329 --> 00:38:34.389
Yeah. And you had to be the right person, I think. I think so, too. Yeah.
00:38:35.089 --> 00:38:40.029
Yeah. My son told me there's this podcast. I'm not a podcaster. This YouTuber.
00:38:40.589 --> 00:38:45.349
Uh-huh. Or maybe TikTok or somewhere where this woman said she's had sex.
00:38:45.449 --> 00:38:48.389
She's in her 30s with over 2,000 men.
00:38:49.089 --> 00:38:53.689
And I said, you had never be with a woman like that. That is disgusting.
00:38:54.549 --> 00:38:58.489
2,000? I'm going to judge on that one. If you've had sex with more than 2,000
00:38:58.489 --> 00:39:01.229
people, what is your self-worth?
00:39:01.709 --> 00:39:06.409
I think maybe that person have addiction. It could be. Yeah, it's kidney therapy.
00:39:06.709 --> 00:39:13.849
Could be. I mean, the level of sexual transmitted diseases in 2,000 men scares
00:39:13.849 --> 00:39:16.549
me, just first of all. That's just gross. It is kind of gross.
00:39:16.849 --> 00:39:19.829
So check yourself is all I'm saying.
00:39:20.009 --> 00:39:24.969
You do your values. You do your self-worth. You do however many people you want to have sex with.
00:39:25.529 --> 00:39:31.169
I don't think you need a rush. No. And I will say you'd get a little sore afterwards.
00:39:32.269
--> 00:39:39.009
And there's no one size fix all as far as dick size or as how soon you should have sex.
00:39:39.749 --> 00:39:46.409
Well, women, our body surprisingly very adjust to what it needs. Don't you think?
00:39:46.769 --> 00:39:52.249
It does. But I will say I was shocked that it was a little sore.
00:39:52.709 --> 00:39:55.969
That's awesome, though. Is that a good feeling though? It was.
00:39:56.369 --> 00:39:58.509
Look at you turn beet red. It was.
00:39:59.949 --> 00:40:05.809
I like this. I think you have to be emotionally safe first and comfortable with the person.
00:40:06.309 --> 00:40:10.149
You don't have to know them fully. It's going to take months and months and
00:40:10.149 --> 00:40:11.169
months to know someone fully.
00:40:11.649 --> 00:40:14.589
And some people wait for marriage still.
00:40:15.392 --> 00:40:20.372
Is there really? They'll leave a marriage and they'll wait to get married or
00:40:20.372 --> 00:40:24.772
to have sex with that second person or third person to when they're married again.
00:40:25.232 --> 00:40:28.892
Wow. And then when they get married, it didn't last them for not even a week.
00:40:29.092 --> 00:40:33.932
I did have a friend that he only has sex with people that he's married to and
00:40:33.932 --> 00:40:35.192
he's been married twice.
00:40:35.452 --> 00:40:41.072
He's, I think, 28 and he won't have sex until he's married.
00:40:41.332 --> 00:40:46.672
Okay, first of all, how the heck did we know if we're compatible sexually? Right. That's just me.
00:40:46.972 --> 00:40:50.792
I wouldn't wait for marriage just because I need to know if I'm sexually compatible.
00:40:50.992 --> 00:40:53.732
Kissing is one thing, but sexually compatible for me.
00:40:54.052 --> 00:40:57.972
Yeah. I've seen a lot, though, like the people that wait and after,
00:40:58.252 --> 00:41:03.452
that wait before marriage, after the marriage, either they're not happy with
00:41:03.452 --> 00:41:08.812
it, they stay with it just because, you know, miserable casual and the society
00:41:08.812 --> 00:41:12.132
make them to stay together, but they're not really happy. Yeah.
00:41:12.592 --> 00:41:15.072
You have to try it out for it, just like car or shoes. Well,
00:41:15.352 --> 00:41:18.392
there's oral sex you could try out before. Some people don't think that's sex.
00:41:18.412 --> 00:41:19.552
I think that's still sex.
00:41:19.712 --> 00:41:22.312
But oral sex is one thing.
00:41:22.592 --> 00:41:27.892
But for me, if you're having oral sex, most likely it's going to lead to intercourse
00:41:27.892 --> 00:41:29.512
anyway. That's what I'm saying.
00:41:30.172 --> 00:41:33.492
Yeah. So it's... You know, because that's on the start, no?
00:41:33.892 --> 00:41:37.672
I agree. But for me, I would say that there's no rush.
00:41:37.892 --> 00:41:42.132
And you don't have to have sex even on the fourth or fifth day.
00:41:42.252 --> 00:41:45.392
You could wait. There's a woman out there that says you should wait 90 days.
00:41:45.572 --> 00:41:49.072
You should date someone for 90 days before you have sex. That's her rule.
00:41:49.252 --> 00:41:55.412
And so every time she dates someone, she waits for 90 days to see how the first
00:41:55.412 --> 00:41:57.212
90 days is all about getting to know them.
00:41:57.572 --> 00:42:00.652
And then after 90 days, and I don't know how often she's dating,
00:42:00.732 --> 00:42:01.932
maybe once or twice a week.
00:42:02.512 --> 00:42:06.012
After 90 days, then she would have sex with them.
00:42:06.712 --> 00:42:11.012
But the problem I see is she keeps having her 90 days over and over again.
00:42:11.012 --> 00:42:14.532
And I'm wondering if she's just not making it to 90 days because the guys lose
00:42:14.532 --> 00:42:15.752
interest. But that may be.
00:42:16.592 --> 00:42:19.352
Because some guys don't want to wait 90 days. That's true.
00:42:19.792 --> 00:42:22.612
You know, that's a long time to wait. That's a long time to wait.
00:42:22.872 --> 00:42:25.392
Especially if you have a really strong connection with someone.
00:42:26.592 --> 00:42:30.052
So I think it's more about the emotional connection and if you feel safe.
00:42:30.292 --> 00:42:33.852
Do you trust that person? And have they earned access to your body?
00:42:33.972 --> 00:42:35.252
I mean, honestly, that's the thing.
00:42:35.472 --> 00:42:38.932
I think that's number one. Do they have the right to touch you?
00:42:39.232 --> 00:42:43.132
Yeah. Do they have the right to be intimate with you? And sometimes people...
00:42:43.668 --> 00:42:46.968
Are together after talking on the phone and texting for a long time,
00:42:47.068 --> 00:42:49.328
those could be considered pre-dates as well.
00:42:50.028 --> 00:42:52.228
But I don't think you should be anxious or unsure.
00:42:52.948 --> 00:42:58.828
Because I think all of this stuff, there's no set written rules,
00:42:58.968 --> 00:43:00.148
right? It's how you feel.
00:43:01.168 --> 00:43:05.768
You know what I mean? Yeah. So there's no rules like, okay, you should not do
00:43:05.768 --> 00:43:08.328
this, you should not do that. But when you feel right, you feel right.
00:43:08.668 --> 00:43:11.888
I think it's more important if they're aligned. Alignment, I think,
00:43:11.968 --> 00:43:15.368
is the new buzzword that everybody's talking about. But I think alignment is important.
00:43:15.748 --> 00:43:20.088
Are they aligned with you? Are they also aligned with what you want in the future?
00:43:21.228 --> 00:43:25.648
This is one thing that I've been struggling with lately. I think if I found
00:43:25.648 --> 00:43:27.268
the right person, I would get married again.
00:43:28.648 --> 00:43:33.268
However, it's going to take a lot, you know, for me to commit to someone.
00:43:33.548 --> 00:43:35.748
There's a trust issue they've got to overcome.
00:43:36.448 --> 00:43:40.288
And it's not their fault. It's because of a trust issue I had in my last relationship.
00:43:40.828 -->
00:43:46.448
And on top of that, they have to fulfill, you know, a lot of things on my checklist. Yeah. And...
00:43:46.909 --> 00:43:54.169
If not, I'm still okay dating someone for fun and to have fun with someone that's a fun partner.
00:43:54.529 --> 00:43:58.109
But then I need to let them know that I'm not seeing a future.
00:43:58.509 --> 00:44:03.429
Right. And that's a challenge because then I'm turning them into a friends with benefits situation.
00:44:04.109 --> 00:44:11.069
And that may not be what they want. Well, some people chose to be together but not get married.
00:44:11.269 --> 00:44:13.429
Remember, Kodihon and Kodihon, they don't get married.
00:44:13.649 --> 00:44:16.589
That's true. And especially if you have, like, going back to the beginning of
00:44:16.589 --> 00:44:20.509
this podcast, you know, two families emerging. You may want to take your time as well.
00:44:20.749 --> 00:44:23.889
Yeah. Some people decide not to marry. Yeah.
00:44:24.449 --> 00:44:30.649
And I don't. This is from my own experience, my own family. They were together for 13 years.
00:44:31.149 --> 00:44:34.169
So they wait, you know, the kids out of the house, you know.
00:44:34.629 --> 00:44:37.929
And then they decide to get married. It didn't last them for a year.
00:44:38.369 --> 00:44:40.889
I don't know what happened. So they were together for 13 years.
00:44:40.909 --> 00:44:43.829
They got married and they only married for a year. Yeah. See,
00:44:43.889 --> 00:44:45.609
I don't want to do that. You see?
00:44:46.089 --> 00:44:49.269
See, the nice thing is, is they waited to be together until,
00:44:49.609 --> 00:44:53.129
but... Yeah, they waited until... Then they moved in together and found out
00:44:53.129 --> 00:44:54.229
that they hated each other.
00:44:54.569 --> 00:44:58.789
Yeah, no, no, they lived together as anything, but they just don't get married. Interesting.
00:44:59.149 --> 00:45:04.249
Yeah, they waited until the kid out of the house, you know, because each of them had two kids. Yeah.
00:45:04.749 --> 00:45:09.069
So they waited all of that. Interesting. And then they decided to get married
00:45:09.069 --> 00:45:11.969
and didn't last them for a year. See, that's expensive.
00:45:12.589 --> 00:45:16.429
Yes. First you're paying for a wedding and then you're paying for divorce.
00:45:16.609 --> 00:45:18.709
And divorce to me is very expensive. Yeah.
00:45:19.169 --> 00:45:24.669
Even with prenups, it can get pricey. So there's no reason to do that.
00:45:24.829 --> 00:45:28.189
I mean, that's the challenge. We're older, right? So what do we really want?
00:45:28.729 --> 00:45:32.869
I think I do. I would get married again. I think if I found the right person,
00:45:33.069 --> 00:45:35.049
I would totally get married again.
00:45:35.769 --> 00:45:41.349
I just don't know if I will in this lifetime. And I'm okay with that.
00:45:41.969 --> 00:45:47.329
But in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy myself, and I'm going to have fun
with a select person.
00:45:47.429 --> 00:45:52.629
Person, yes. Yeah, and as I enjoy myself, as long as I tell them,
00:45:52.769 --> 00:45:56.129
look, this is not—maybe it's more situationship.
00:45:56.329 --> 00:46:00.129
Mm-hmm. If I have a situationship with someone like we talked about before where,
00:46:00.349 --> 00:46:05.129
based on a situation I see you once in a while, it's comfortable for me because
00:46:05.129 --> 00:46:08.769
it's so challenging to connect. But I think you're going to get married.
00:46:08.949 --> 00:46:13.889
You think so? And I'm going to be made of honor. Are you? Oh, that sounds nice. Yes.
00:46:14.269 --> 00:46:19.709
I feel it. I think consistency and respect are two huge things for me. Yes.
00:46:19.949 --> 00:46:24.729
Like, for instance, if you're intimate with someone, they should text you the next day.
00:46:25.385 --> 00:46:31.005
Well, what if they're busy? I don't care. Let's say you've been dating for a while. Uh-huh.
00:46:31.425 --> 00:46:35.645
And you finally have sex with the person. Uh-huh. And they don't text you the
00:46:35.645 --> 00:46:39.185
next day just to check in, say hi, that was fun last night.
00:46:39.385 --> 00:46:42.805
Uh-huh. Or I miss you or something.
00:46:43.505 --> 00:46:47.965
Yeah. It's disrespectful. I think they should text you. I think they should.
00:46:48.305 --> 00:46:52.425
Eventually, they'll text you. Eventually, they do. But if they wait a full day.
00:46:52.425 --> 00:46:56.445
I think to me, that's my written rule.
00:46:56.565 --> 00:46:59.745
If you're going to be intimate with a partner, if you have sex with someone,
00:46:59.885 --> 00:47:04.985
and you want to have sex with them again, and you don't text them the next day,
00:47:05.145 --> 00:47:07.205
good luck recovering from that.
00:47:08.125 --> 00:47:12.905
Well, you have to make them work harder. You do. And you should not be responding
00:47:12.905 --> 00:47:15.745
right away to their text if they do text you two or three days later.
00:47:16.285 --> 00:47:18.405
Two or three days? Yeah, it's ridiculous.
00:47:18.985 --> 00:47:24.005
No. It's disrespectful. Yeah. Even between friends.
00:47:24.185 --> 00:47:27.125
I invite you over for dinner. I would text you the night.
00:47:27.405 --> 00:47:30.105
I would either text you that night or in the morning and tell you how great
00:47:30.105 --> 00:47:31.485
dinner was. Who's high? Yes.
00:47:32.265 --> 00:47:35.965
Even just between friends. And that's dinner. That's not dinner on me.
00:47:36.645 --> 00:47:39.385
That's what I'm saying. That's just dinner. Yeah, exactly.
00:47:40.505 --> 00:47:44.185
So it's respectful to text. I think so, too. If you're out there.
00:47:44.185 --> 00:47:47.225
For the first time, I agree with you. And I think it should be the man texting the woman.
00:47:47.845 --> 00:47:50.385
Of course. I don't think the woman should be texting the man.
00:47:50.385 --> 00:47:55.205
If you text a man after sex and they don't text you back, you need to dump them. Yeah.
00:47:55.465 --> 00:48:01.725
And if a man doesn't text you after sex within 24 hours, he's not the right man for you.
00:48:02.525 --> 00:48:06.785
Maybe you might give them it. You want to give them 36 hours? Maybe 30 hours.
00:48:07.305 --> 00:48:10.525
36. Let's do 36. You're just saying that. But not 48.
00:48:11.625 --> 00:48:15.725
Not 48. It's a sign of disrespect to not text a woman after you have sex with
00:48:15.725 --> 00:48:19.025
them. I think, honestly, they should text you that night. Yeah.
00:48:19.453 --> 00:48:23.753
After you get home, unless you stay in over, of course. And then I think that
00:48:23.753 --> 00:48:25.313
they should also text you the next day.
00:48:25.853 --> 00:48:32.213
I think they should make you a priority if you are giving your body to a man and intimate with a man.
00:48:32.733 --> 00:48:38.493
I think a sign of respect is that they should text you or call you or communicate with you somehow.
00:48:38.753 --> 00:48:41.713
I'm actually agreeing with you. You know, the best is if they sent you a flower
00:48:41.713 --> 00:48:44.333
or some roses the next day. That would be wonderful.
00:48:44.913 --> 00:48:49.533
Well, maybe they may. Oh, let's put this this way. If they're 36 hours,
00:48:49.833 --> 00:48:51.513
maybe the flowers should come.
00:48:52.013 --> 00:48:55.873
It would be nice. But regardless, the next day they should touch you.
00:48:56.153 --> 00:49:00.353
Yes, because it's important when a woman gives her body to a man. Yeah. It is.
00:49:01.093 --> 00:49:03.373
It's trusting. It's intimate.
00:49:04.553 --> 00:49:08.793
It's all of the above. You know what I mean? And if you have any health issues,
00:49:08.993 --> 00:49:12.153
actually, I think anybody at our age should also be getting your partners tested
00:49:12.153 --> 00:49:13.893
before you actually have sex with them.
00:49:14.433 --> 00:49:17.693
Especially at this age. We're not teenagers. You know what I mean?
00:49:17.893 --> 00:49:20.593
It's one of those honest conversations. You just say, hey, look,
00:49:20.733 --> 00:49:24.193
my health is important to me, especially if you have like an autoimmune or something.
00:49:24.473 --> 00:49:30.413
You just say my health is important to me and I need you before we become intimate. I need you to get tested.
00:49:31.173 --> 00:49:35.273
Yes. And this includes oral sex. You shouldn't be having oral sex with somebody if you're not tested.
00:49:35.593 --> 00:49:40.113
You could get disease from that. And I do think you should require that they
00:49:40.113 --> 00:49:42.433
email you the results. Do not trust what they say.
00:49:43.733 --> 00:49:47.153
Okay. So make sure they email you the test results.
00:49:47.153 --> 00:49:49.953
And you can email them yours so you should be getting
00:49:49.953 --> 00:49:52.693
tested too that way that you're on the
00:49:52.693 --> 00:49:56.473
same page you can't trust what someone says
especially
00:49:56.473 --> 00:50:01.893
nowadays so many dates well and it's empowering i will say because you're taking
00:50:01.893 --> 00:50:06.853
control of your sexual health too yeah and you take care yourself otherwise
00:50:06.853 --> 00:50:09.413
you're going to regret it if you get a sexually transmitted disease and you
00:50:09.413 --> 00:50:13.473
didn't have a basic conversation with somebody that you have sex with can you imagine yeah,
00:50:14.061 --> 00:50:19.221
Oh, my God, no. Here's the real question to ask yourself before you have sex with them. Okay.
00:50:19.961 --> 00:50:23.881
Will you be disappointed if after sex it doesn't become a relationship?
00:50:25.341 --> 00:50:32.501
I think I would be. Would you? Mm-hmm. See, I'm okay if it doesn't as long as
00:50:32.501 --> 00:50:35.601
I go into it with that mindset. Now, if I was wrapped up in someone,
00:50:35.781 --> 00:50:40.041
I think I would actually not have sex as early.
00:50:40.581 --> 00:50:44.661
Oh, I see. You know what I mean? I would take my time to make sure that,
00:50:44.941 --> 00:50:48.381
like, let's say I meet the person I think is the one. Okay.
00:50:48.821 --> 00:50:52.221
I think I would take longer before I had sex with them.
00:50:52.961 --> 00:50:56.801
I think I would take a step back. Take to know them. Oh, I see.
00:50:57.001 --> 00:50:58.621
Make sure they're the right person.
00:50:59.421 --> 00:51:02.041
Now, if I'm going to do a friends with benefit type of thing,
00:51:02.201 --> 00:51:04.461
I could have sex with them earlier. Okay, I see.
00:51:04.721 --> 00:51:08.101
Because I know that they're not, but maybe, it's not that I'm bored,
00:51:08.221 --> 00:51:10.681
it's just that I need a connection, if you will.
00:51:11.481 --> 00:51:15.121
I don't know. It might lead to something, too. And that's the thing. You don't know.
00:51:15.401 --> 00:51:18.781
Right. Sometimes you go into it thinking this person's going to be a friends
00:51:18.781 --> 00:51:21.141
with benefit or a situationship.
00:51:21.481 --> 00:51:23.401
And that's a situationship. Next thing you know, he's a boyfriend.
00:51:23.541 --> 00:51:26.301
And it turns into something bigger. Yeah. You see?
00:51:26.801 --> 00:51:30.521
You never know. There is no written rules. That's what I'm trying to say.
00:51:30.741 --> 00:51:32.181
There's no written rules. No.
00:51:32.521 --> 00:51:40.261
So here's a general. Okay. I think the first date, first, second date, you should be flirty.
00:51:40.261 --> 00:51:43.121
There's chemistry you're checking each other's vibes see
00:51:43.121 --> 00:51:46.321
if there's any intellectual chemistry i think intellectuals important
00:51:46.321 --> 00:51:50.601
obviously and see if you guys get along by the
00:51:50.601 --> 00:51:53.481
second date if you haven't kissed them by the second day i think it's you
00:51:53.481 --> 00:51:57.241
can give them a kiss yeah some people say wait till the third but i think first
00:51:57.241 -->
00:52:03.181
second is fine by date three or four you should be having deeper conversations
00:52:03.181 --> 00:52:07.981
are they emotionally available i think on the first or second date you should
00:52:07.981 --> 00:52:10.741
find out if they cheated on their spouse. Just saying.
00:52:11.477 --> 00:52:14.897
I like to know up front, because if they cheated on their spouse,
00:52:15.037 --> 00:52:16.977
there's no third or fourth date for me. Yeah.
00:52:17.477 --> 00:52:20.737
Because I don't want them to cheat on me. And typically people that cheat are
00:52:20.737 --> 00:52:24.477
going to cheat again. So I don't really date people that are cheaters. So there.
00:52:24.817 --> 00:52:27.877
There you go. That eliminates half the male population right there.
00:52:30.097 --> 00:52:34.217
That's going to be hard. I've already knocked out 50% of the men.
00:52:34.457 --> 00:52:36.297
50? I think I'm already 70.
00:52:36.717 --> 00:52:40.297
Oh, I don't know if it's that high. But so I've knocked out a good chunk of
00:52:40.297 --> 00:52:42.057
the male population because I won't date cheaters.
00:52:42.377 --> 00:52:45.157
And then you have a deeper conversation on the third or fourth date.
00:52:45.317 --> 00:52:48.897
And then by the fifth date, you can play around.
00:52:49.277 --> 00:52:52.117
Yeah, why not? And some people do on the third or fourth date.
00:52:52.237 --> 00:52:53.937
But it depends, you know, where you're connected.
00:52:54.077 --> 00:52:59.317
But I think by the fifth date, if you're aligned, that's when people play around a little bit.
00:52:59.957 --> 00:53:03.237
And that's where things can proceed. It could be sixth, seventh,
00:53:03.397 --> 00:53:04.317
eighth, ninth, tenth date.
00:53:04.437 --> 00:53:08.397
I don't know if you have a number. Some people say on the sixth day you could have sex.
00:53:08.957 --> 00:53:14.257
Sex at sixth is what I've heard. But it just depends on how secure you are with
00:53:14.257 --> 00:53:16.817
that person. Those just general rules?
00:53:17.497 --> 00:53:21.677
Well, it's just a general mindset. I mean, sex at sixth is what I've heard.
00:53:22.057 --> 00:53:25.497
But don't trade sex to get attention.
00:53:25.877 --> 00:53:29.457
Yeah, right. And let's talk about West syndrome for a little bit.
00:53:29.577 --> 00:53:32.897
You guys, if you haven't heard me say on the podcast before what West syndrome
00:53:32.897 --> 00:53:35.477
is, I call it wandering eye syndrome.
00:53:36.077 --> 00:53:42.277
It's when you go on a date and the guy is constantly looking around at other people.
00:53:43.477 --> 00:53:46.957
And every once in a while, you might even catch him checking out another woman.
00:53:47.517 --> 00:53:53.637
No. Or if he talks about another woman, like if he's flattering or complimenting
00:53:53.637 --> 00:53:56.197
another woman. To me, that's a red flag.
00:53:57.017 --> 00:54:01.037
Like if they say, oh, he's like, oh, you've got a nice figure to a friend of
00:54:01.037 --> 00:54:02.217
yours. That's a red flag.
00:54:03.217 --> 00:54:06.597
You know, instead of talking about you, he's looking at her,
00:54:06.617 --> 00:54:09.457
looking at her figure and telling you how thin she is.
00:54:10.136 --> 00:54:16.056
No, it's a red flag. Yes. And so wandering eye syndrome is when they're checking
00:54:16.056 --> 00:54:23.156
out other women at a restaurant or at a bar or at a wherever you're going on a hike. And I get it.
00:54:23.536 --> 00:54:27.536
I think that people do glance here and there at other people.
00:54:27.636 --> 00:54:32.496
But if you're with a guy and he's staring at another woman when he when he's with you, run.
00:54:33.396 --> 00:54:35.796
I mean, I would honestly get up from the table and leave.
00:54:37.076 --> 00:54:41.416
Because it's so rude. It's so disrespectful.
00:54:41.916 --> 00:54:45.516
And when I'm with a man, I'm not checking out other men. What if he just check
00:54:45.516 --> 00:54:47.976
out surrounding, like places or tenderly?
00:54:48.356 --> 00:54:53.316
If he's that nervous and uncomfortable, then he's very insecure.
00:54:53.956 --> 00:54:57.396
And I don't know if he's the right person either. So it's another red flag,
00:54:57.496 --> 00:55:01.716
right? If you're in an elevator and he compliments a woman or talks about a
00:55:01.716 --> 00:55:03.956
woman in front of you, that's happened to me, too, before.
00:55:04.416 --> 00:55:06.856
Is it real? Swear to God. I've had it all, girl.
00:55:07.416 --> 00:55:10.276
I have had some of the most disrespectful men in my life.
00:55:10.436 --> 00:55:16.476
Here again, this is why respect is such a big part of me being intimate with someone. Yeah.
00:55:16.836 --> 00:55:19.156
Because if someone's disrespectful to me, I don't want them.
00:55:19.596 --> 00:55:25.576
No. Yeah. How could you go out on a date and compliment some other woman in the elevator?
00:55:25.716 --> 00:55:28.596
Exactly. or stare at another woman oh my god no
00:55:28.596 --> 00:55:31.536
exactly and guys are so
00:55:31.536 --> 00:55:34.996
clueless sometimes how disrespectful yes
00:55:34.996 --> 00:55:37.936
that's what i disrespect how disrespectful it is
00:55:37.936 --> 00:55:41.956
to a woman that you're with to not be focused on that woman she's done her nails
00:55:41.956 --> 00:55:47.036
she's got a facial probably she did her hair she took an hour picking out an
00:55:47.036 --> 00:55:52.156
outfit she's gotten all dressed up to look perfect for you and a man has the
00:55:52.156 --> 00:55:57.836
audacity to talk about another woman or to look at another woman while you're on a date? No.
00:55:58.488 --> 00:56:02.428
Exactly. Mm-mm. So, men, I hope you hear me.
00:56:02.768 --> 00:56:07.408
Mm-hmm. Now, if you're with a woman and she's checking out other men while you're
00:56:07.408 --> 00:56:11.008
on a date, it's disrespectful, too. And you should run.
00:56:11.348 --> 00:56:15.968
Because when you're connecting with someone, you should be present in the present
00:56:15.968 --> 00:56:18.728
moment with them and only them. Mm-hmm.
00:56:19.028 --> 00:56:22.348
Just saying. Let's go both ways. I think you should speak your truth.
00:56:22.648 --> 00:56:25.328
If you're wanting someone to be respectful, you should tell them.
00:56:25.448 --> 00:56:27.968
If they're disrespectful, I think you should tell them. You should tell them.
00:56:28.388 --> 00:56:30.348
Definitely. And I have.
00:56:31.048 --> 00:56:35.548
Yeah. I have. And I said, I found it's completely, and the person actually apologized
00:56:35.548 --> 00:56:36.988
because he said he didn't realize
00:56:36.988 --> 00:56:39.448
he was doing it, but then he did it again, so then it was like done.
00:56:39.868 --> 00:56:44.228
Oh, my God. But, you know, I did tell them, I gave them a warning,
00:56:44.508 --> 00:56:49.008
I gave them a second chance, and there's no third chances is the thing with me.
00:56:49.868 --> 00:56:52.608
And then let's say you want to move slower physically. Say, look,
00:56:52.688 --> 00:56:54.188
I'm just not in a rush to be intimate.
00:56:54.408 --> 00:56:59.688
Okay. You need to let them know, too. Mm-hmm. I value a connection other than sexual or physical.
00:57:00.148 --> 00:57:02.808
Yeah. I want to be connected to you. I find you interesting.
00:57:03.168 --> 00:57:07.048
I want to see where this can go. I find you intellectually stimulating.
00:57:07.748 --> 00:57:12.028
I enjoy being with you, although intellectually stimulating is such a turn on for me.
00:57:12.348 --> 00:57:16.888
So I want to see where it can go. It's up to you, but you need to choose a partner
00:57:16.888 --> 00:57:21.028
who respects you and is going to respect your pace and is not going to pressure
00:57:21.028 --> 00:57:23.388
you into doing something you don't want to do. Right.
00:57:23.848 --> 00:57:28.708
But you need to be able to tell them, though, what you don't like.
00:57:28.928 --> 00:57:33.428
If they disappear because you won't have sex with them, honestly,
00:57:33.428 --> 00:57:36.288
at our age, you don't need that. You don't need that.
00:57:36.388 --> 00:57:39.348
And if they disappear after you have sex with them and they don't text you or
00:57:39.348 --> 00:57:43.008
whatever, you don't need that either. Yeah, no.
00:57:43.648 --> 00:57:48.668
Yeah. It's not about when you sleep with one. It's someone about why you're doing it. Right.
00:57:49.168 --> 00:57:52.568
And you shouldn't be doing it just, well, some people do it just to get laid.
00:57:52.568 --> 00:57:53.888
But you shouldn't be doing it.
00:57:54.668 --> 00:57:57.868
You shouldn't be doing it just because they're pressuring you.
00:57:58.028 --> 00:57:58.848
You should do it when you're ready.
00:57:59.708 --> 00:58:02.828
Sometimes it's been a long time. That's why you have to do it. Don't you think?
00:58:03.493 --> 00:58:07.773
Sometimes you get an itch. You see, right? But that's when you bring somebody
00:58:07.773 --> 00:58:08.853
in that's a friend with benefits.
00:58:09.053 --> 00:58:11.893
Oh, I see. I don't think you should just be going out and sleeping on a one-night
00:58:11.893 --> 00:58:14.353
stand. I mean... No, no one-night stand.
00:58:15.113 --> 00:58:16.853
There's plenty of men out there, ladies.
00:58:17.913 --> 00:58:20.653
But you need to be intentional about what you want with them.
00:58:20.793 --> 00:58:22.953
I have a friend right now interview one by one.
00:58:23.493 --> 00:58:27.693
That's what she does. She interviews them. She interviews them first. Yeah.
00:58:28.153 --> 00:58:31.953
Well, you know, there's that. You can interview them. You can send them a questionnaire.
00:58:31.953 --> 00:58:33.933
Some people won't fill it out. Yeah.
00:58:34.193 --> 00:58:37.353
She had to, she made a list and she interviewed them based on her list.
00:58:37.413 --> 00:58:40.513
Well, that's a person that's grounded and feels in control of her.
00:58:40.653 --> 00:58:42.533
Or super control. Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:42.913 --> 00:58:46.293
And then she just decided, that's it. Just me, myself. I love myself.
00:58:47.533 --> 00:58:52.093
Yep. And it's about her, but I think when you're on a date, though,
00:58:52.173 --> 00:58:54.873
it needs to be about the other person. Right. That's what I think.
00:58:55.293 --> 00:58:59.253
I think a date, especially a first date, you should be asking a lot of questions.
00:58:59.593 --> 00:59:02.773
Mm-hmm. You have to. I went on a date with a guy.
00:59:02.973 --> 00:59:07.873
He was younger and I think he was 36, pretty young for me. I don't usually go that young.
00:59:08.313 --> 00:59:11.253
And the guy was really into himself.
00:59:12.553 --> 00:59:15.993
And he just sat there and talked about himself for the whole date.
00:59:16.153 --> 00:59:19.613
And I couldn't wait till the date was over. It was like 30 to 40.
00:59:19.773 --> 00:59:21.053
First of all, he showed up late.
00:59:21.953 --> 00:59:24.953
Disrespectful. Did not have any chivalry in his body.
00:59:25.253 --> 00:59:28.393
I mean, did not pull out my chair, was not respectful. Well,
00:59:29.033 --> 00:59:32.813
you know, I had to sit with my back to the door so I could see if I needed to
00:59:32.813 --> 00:59:34.753
exit quickly. I could. Oh, my God.
00:59:35.513 --> 00:59:39.253
Or I mean, my back was I was facing the door and I.
00:59:40.373 --> 00:59:43.293
But you're always facing the door. I love to face the door.
00:59:43.613 --> 00:59:49.813
Yes. That's my thing. So thank you for that. But I was talking to him and I
00:59:49.813 --> 00:59:52.333
asked him a few questions and he just he droned on.
00:59:52.873 --> 00:59:56.653
I don't think he asked me one question. Oh, my God. And.
00:59:57.525 --> 01:00:02.505
Well, he was young, too. He was young. And I don't know if he was nervous, but he was young.
01:00:04.265 --> 01:00:09.185
He was a black man. And he just was really into himself, really cocky.
01:00:09.665
--> 01:00:13.605
And he just talked and talked and talked. The date lasted 30 to 45 minutes.
01:00:13.765 --> 01:00:17.405
And afterwards, I think I shook his hand. And then he came in for a hug.
01:00:17.685 --> 01:00:20.385
And then he asked for a second date. And I said, I'll let you know.
01:00:20.745 --> 01:00:24.805
And I said, well, I should have just said no. It's OK. But not for nothing, though.
01:00:24.865 --> 01:00:28.125
Some people could feel very intimate. and intimidated by
01:00:28.125 --> 01:00:31.125
you oh that's their problem not mine
01:00:31.125 --> 01:00:34.265
oh that's the thing if if a guy's intimidated
01:00:34.265 --> 01:00:37.125
by me on a first date he's not
01:00:37.125 --> 01:00:40.145
the one for you he's not the one i see if if
01:00:40.145 --> 01:00:43.205
they can't handle me on i'm such a pussycat on
01:00:43.205 --> 01:00:46.425
a first date i am not over the top strong i
01:00:46.425 --> 01:00:49.245
am not showing off at all on a first date
01:00:49.245 --> 01:00:52.505
i am really listening to who they are i'm not
01:00:52.505 --> 01:00:56.285
really even talking a lot about myself so if
01:00:56.285 --> 01:01:00.225
they're intimidated by just my presence they don't
01:01:00.225 --> 01:01:04.805
need a second date that's not the one no you want a strong woman you know and
01:01:04.805 --> 01:01:09.305
you're a prize right i'm a prize yeah you know you need to bring your value
01:01:09.305 --> 01:01:13.285
to the date but you don't have to be over the top and being strong does not
01:01:13.285 --> 01:01:18.605
mean being controlling it just means that you are comfortable in who you are Mm-hmm,
01:01:18.765 --> 01:01:21.105
mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't know.
01:01:21.585 --> 01:01:26.045
It's so hard to be single, right? Oh, my goodness. It's a challenge.
01:01:26.245 --> 01:01:27.405
I'm telling you, connecting.
01:01:28.025 --> 01:01:33.925
Like, connecting with a person is so unique when we're in our age. You know, before...
01:01:34.272 --> 01:01:38.232
I didn't sleep around when I was in college either, though. But I think when
01:01:38.232 --> 01:01:41.832
I was younger, it was easier to find someone you would connect with because
01:01:41.832 --> 01:01:43.672
we were all stupid kids, right? Right.
01:01:43.872 --> 01:01:47.032
We were all, I mean, we all looked good. Right. It was college.
01:01:47.352 --> 01:01:51.732
We all were in probably really good shape. And our shit don't sting.
01:01:51.852 --> 01:01:54.712
The hair, big hair. The big hair. The hairspray hair.
01:01:55.812 --> 01:02:00.112
The Bon Jovi hair. Right. And everybody looked good.
01:02:00.312 --> 01:02:04.712
Yeah. And it was more of a physical sexual chemistry back then. Yeah.
01:02:04.992 --> 01:02:07.832
And as you get older, you want more of an intellectual chemistry.
01:02:08.312 --> 01:02:12.432
Yeah, because the physical faints away. The physical doesn't have to fade away.
01:02:13.012 --> 01:02:16.012
The physical doesn't have
to. You have to work very hard. You have to work very
01:02:16.012 --> 01:02:16.932
hard to keep your physical.
01:02:17.112 --> 01:02:20.532
But the physical doesn't have to fade away. But it's not going to be like 16-year-old,
01:02:20.652 --> 01:02:24.412
17-year-old sex. No. Or 18-year-old sex. Or 22-year-old sex. Twenty-nothing sex.
01:02:24.712 --> 01:02:28.192
Yeah. Yeah. It's not going to be that way. so when
01:02:28.192 --> 01:02:31.112
you're older the sex
01:02:31.112 --> 01:02:33.972
still has to be good though oh yeah you know
01:02:33.972 --> 01:02:37.272
i'm telling you if the sex isn't good and if a guy can't pick me up and throw
01:02:37.272 --> 01:02:42.572
me against a wall well not physically hurt me but like push me against a wall
01:02:42.572 --> 01:02:45.632
and have sex with me i love having sex up against a wall i really do i told
01:02:45.632 --> 01:02:52.112
you that one before i need that too and when they're older a lot of times they
01:02:52.112 --> 01:02:53.432
can't do it You cannot do it.
01:02:54.332 --> 01:02:57.572
So there's the sexual chemistry. And this is also a reason why I would want
01:02:57.572 --> 01:03:00.152
to have sex before I would get married to someone.
01:03:00.472 --> 01:03:04.152
It's a requirement for me. I'm sorry. I see. I see.
01:03:06.302 --> 01:03:09.522
I just need it i don't know why but it's
01:03:09.522 --> 01:03:12.302
true no that's your that's your thing it's my thing
01:03:12.302 --> 01:03:14.982
i i like to be in different places i like to
01:03:14.982 --> 01:03:18.682
be in different positions i like to be athletic in the bedroom and
01:03:18.682 --> 01:03:21.582
if i can't do that with a man or he can't last
01:03:21.582 --> 01:03:24.242
long enough and he doesn't want to do some people don't want to do
01:03:24.242 --> 01:03:26.882
testosterone and that's i think something a lot of men
01:03:26.882 --> 01:03:29.762
need we talked about that too i think all men after
01:03:29.762 --> 01:03:32.462
50 should i think after 45 all men
01:03:32.462 --> 01:03:35.082
should be on testosterone but especially if they want to
01:03:35.082 --> 01:03:37.782
have a sex life into their 70s and
01:03:37.782 --> 01:03:40.462
80s and honestly i if i find a
01:03:40.462 --> 01:03:43.522
man again to marry they better be prepared
01:03:43.522 --> 01:03:46.302
to go up to 100 years old still having sex with
01:03:46.302 --> 01:03:50.002
me or more that'd be
01:03:50.002 --> 01:03:56.282
crazy huh another 50 years of sex that's awesome another 50 years of sex oh
01:03:56.282 --> 01:04:01.862
i'm shooting for 20 now here's the other thing you can read people's vibes too
01:04:01.862 --> 01:04:06.502
If you're on a date and they're talking about their ex the whole time and complaining
01:04:06.502 --> 01:04:09.362
about their ex and they're playing the victim with their ex,
01:04:09.662 --> 01:04:11.742
that's a red flag. No.
01:04:12.002 --> 01:04:15.702
I don't care if their ex did cheat on them. If they sit there and talk the whole
01:04:15.702 --> 01:04:20.102
time about how they were betrayed and cheated on and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:04:20.682 --> 01:04:25.262
That's a red flag because what's going to happen is they're not healed.
01:04:25.942 --> 01:04:30.402
And I went out with a guy like that, too, that he wasn't healed and he wasn't ready to date.
01:04:30.962 --> 01:04:35.562
And if the whole date is about their ex, there's no place for you.
01:04:35.762 --> 01:04:38.662
There's no room in their life. There's no room in their head for you.
01:04:39.222 --> 01:04:43.782
And you can't be with a person that's not healed. And some people don't heal.
01:04:44.526 --> 01:04:49.566
Some people stay that way, though. Some people will take five years and they're still broken. Mm-hmm.
01:04:49.926 --> 01:04:52.646
And then they just go into another relationship because they're lonely.
01:04:53.046 --> 01:04:55.986
Yeah. And they bring all that baggage into their next relationship.
01:04:56.086 --> 01:04:58.786
Yeah. And I don't want that because I have leveled up.
01:04:59.166 --> 01:05:01.366
Yeah. And I only want someone healed. Right.
01:05:01.906 --> 01:05:04.146
The next thing you know, it's going to be another project.
01:05:04.846 --> 01:05:08.086
Yes. Right. Another project, yep. Yeah, you don't want that.
01:05:08.146 --> 01:05:10.146
Your project, you'd paint the wall, not that.
01:05:11.986 --> 01:05:18.226
No, I hired that out, too. Yeah, you see? I can see it behind a poop scooper.
01:05:18.506 --> 01:05:19.846
That's like blows my mind.
01:05:21.146 --> 01:05:26.526
Okay. Anyway. So you have to wear something on this date that makes you feel
01:05:26.526 --> 01:05:27.686
really confident and sexy.
01:05:28.546 --> 01:05:33.026
I go for black dress. Without slutty. I love my little black dress though.
01:05:33.606 --> 01:05:36.666
Yes. Little black dress. You can't go wrong with that. And then you should wear
01:05:36.666 --> 01:05:38.106
a fragrance, but don't overdo it.
01:05:39.106 --> 01:05:43.066
And then you should, you know, stay hydrated. Don't start coughing in the middle
01:05:43.066 --> 01:05:44.346
of the date. Stay hydrated.
01:05:44.526 --> 01:05:47.706
Stay focused nice shoes are cute nice purse
01:05:47.706 --> 01:05:50.946
definitely makeup nails done hair
01:05:50.946 --> 01:05:53.866
done there's a lot of work it is
01:05:53.866 --> 01:05:56.846
a lot of work so guys if we're going on a date with you i know
01:05:56.846 --> 01:06:02.146
don't show up in a t-shirt that's wrinkly and cargo pants yes if you do you
01:06:02.146 --> 01:06:05.106
won't get a second date that guy that slammed me against the car he did that
01:06:05.106 --> 01:06:08.866
too so that was like multiple red flags no no if you show up i don't care if
01:06:08.866 --> 01:06:14.066
it's a polo shirt if it's wrinkly and doesn't have a collar no uh-uh No.
01:06:14.246 --> 01:06:17.406
No. You can't get a high-class woman if
you're dressed like a bum,
01:06:17.586 --> 01:06:19.766
guys. This is not backyard party.
01:06:20.066 --> 01:06:24.166
And this is not college. It's not like you're a frat guy anymore. Right. So.
01:06:24.626 --> 01:06:28.026
No. You have some respect. I know.
01:06:28.566 --> 01:06:32.886
No. And I do have to practice slowing down because I think I do talk really
01:06:32.886 --> 01:06:35.086
fast sometimes. You do? I do.
01:06:35.606 --> 01:06:41.186
So I actually work at it. Even on this podcast, I work on speaking slower. Mm-hmm. No, but.
01:06:41.727 --> 01:06:44.187
That's your voice, though. You have that power before you. I do.
01:06:44.347 --> 01:06:47.327
I do. But you got to listen with intention and talk and listen.
01:06:47.827 --> 01:06:51.927
I see. It's a connection, just listening to another person. Mm-hmm.
01:06:52.227 --> 01:06:57.807
And you can learn so much by watching and observing and listening to other people. Mm-hmm.
01:06:58.287 --> 01:06:59.947
And don't be nervous.
01:07:00.587 --> 01:07:05.587
Yeah. I just need to speak clearly. You got to speak clearly, yes. Yeah.
01:07:05.827 --> 01:07:08.827
I'm working on it, though. And be curious. I mean, honestly,
01:07:08.967 --> 01:07:14.107
if you're looking to date with intention to find a partner, and I think that's
01:07:14.107 --> 01:07:17.687
what most people are wanting, although some people are just looking to date
01:07:17.687 --> 01:07:18.887
to get laid. There are that.
01:07:19.267 --> 01:07:23.747
Yeah. Or all those. But if you're looking to truly find a partner,
01:07:24.027 --> 01:07:26.227
you need to be curious about the other person.
01:07:26.407 --> 01:07:30.007
And to be curious means to ask questions, not to talk over them.
01:07:30.307 --> 01:07:32.527
I see. Right? Mm-hmm.
01:07:33.087 --> 01:07:36.967
And then, you know, work on your goddess energy. I think that's important,
01:07:37.007 --> 01:07:42.667
too. You got to work on your self-power, your soft power, I guess it is. Like your posture?
01:07:42.967 --> 01:07:44.967
Your posture, your femininity.
01:07:45.407 --> 01:07:49.207
And I have to work on this because I do have a strong masculine side to me,
01:07:49.207 --> 01:07:52.127
I will say, as I talk lower in my voice.
01:07:52.927 --> 01:07:58.747
I do have a strong masculine side to me that I have to work on being feminine.
01:07:58.987 --> 01:08:02.187
Like I went on a date with a guy that was very gentleman.
01:08:02.547 --> 01:08:06.527
It was so respectful. Oh, I love that. And I ended up,
01:08:07.068 --> 01:08:09.988
grabbing the car door when i got to the car just
01:08:09.988 --> 01:08:12.768
because it was habit right right and he grabbed it away from me
01:08:12.768 --> 01:08:15.568
and it was so cute and i was i loved it
01:08:15.568 --> 01:08:18.948
that he ended up opening the car door i was like oh crap i forgot i'm with a
01:08:18.948 --> 01:08:23.888
gentleman here i'm with a very respectful man yes you know when i stood up he
01:08:23.888 --> 01:08:27.748
would stand up yeah when i went to the bathroom he would come and he would push
01:08:27.748 --> 01:08:34.568
my chair and it was it was nice always open the doors for me it was so respectful see you know Well,
01:08:34.748 --> 01:08:39.628
it's nice to be with a high-quality man that's respectful. Right.
01:08:39.968 --> 01:08:43.928
There's not enough of you men out there that do this. No. And if you want a
01:08:43.928 --> 01:08:47.608
woman and you want a high-quality woman. Right. You need to start.
01:08:48.268 --> 01:08:51.248
Right. And that's one thing I've been working with my children on.
01:08:51.388 --> 01:08:54.668
Mm-hmm. To make sure that they always open the door. Mm-hmm.
01:08:55.128 --> 01:08:56.808
And that they're always respectful.
01:08:57.288 --> 01:09:00.788
Mm-hmm. And if you open the door for a woman, that goes a long way.
01:09:01.008 --> 01:09:04.588
Oh, yeah. Let alone if you stand up when she goes to the bathroom and you push
01:09:04.588 --> 01:09:07.488
in her chair and then you ask her if she needs any more water.
01:09:07.888 --> 01:09:11.648
I mean, literally, my date was filling my water the whole night when the waiting
01:09:11.648 --> 01:09:14.728
wasn't. I know the little things. The little touches.
01:09:15.288 --> 01:09:22.248
Yes. Will make you want to stay with a person. Make you feel really special. Special and respected.
01:09:22.548 --> 01:09:26.508
And I need to step into my femininity and allow it and receive it.
01:09:26.668 --> 01:09:30.588
That's what I was going to say. You need to mellow down and receive it.
01:09:30.588 --> 01:09:34.168
But I did a good job, right? You did a good job. You did a good job. I did a good job.
01:09:34.568 --> 01:09:38.108
I give you A+. All right. So I worked at it. It was interesting.
01:09:38.768 --> 01:09:40.808
I don't think I've been out with a lot of gentlemen.
01:09:41.788 --> 01:09:45.468
No? No. I think the Southern Gentleman charm is wonderful.
01:09:46.268 --> 01:09:49.888
I love men that are attentive to their women. Mm-hmm.
01:09:50.388 --> 01:09:53.428
Because what happens is then I want to reciprocate. Right.
01:09:53.648 --> 01:09:57.708
When a man leads, and this is the thing, ladies, when a man leads,
01:09:57.888 --> 01:09:59.968
you want to reciprocate.
01:10:00.659 --> 01:10:05.659
You have to let them, though. You have to let them. Let them lead you. Let them guide you.
01:10:06.279 --> 01:10:09.339
Don't be too pushy. And then be reciprocal.
01:10:09.939 --> 01:10:14.139
And I was very respectful to him. I think it's really super sweet.
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:19.139
And it was a nice mutual respect thing going on.
01:10:20.059 --> 01:10:24.559
And I would never talk down to him. Never. I would never be disrespectful to him.
01:10:24.619 --> 01:10:28.139
In fact, I was astonished at another woman that talked down to her husband.
01:10:28.719 --> 01:10:36.919
I just don't do that. And it was a nice
communication and so enjoyable.
01:10:37.419 --> 01:10:41.399
I love that. It was almost like a fairy tale enjoyment.
01:10:41.699 --> 01:10:45.239
Finish a double date again. I know. It was nice. Oh, you just want him to teach
01:10:45.239 --> 01:10:46.359
your husband how to treat you.
01:10:48.419 --> 01:10:51.099
Might as well need to push the... Here's the thing, husbands.
01:10:51.159 --> 01:10:53.759
You should still do it when you're married. I know.
01:10:54.359 --> 01:10:57.619
And don't think that you should stop because women, you
01:10:57.619 --> 01:11:00.419
will have that woman wrapped around your finger if you
01:11:00.419 --> 01:11:03.139
treat her that respectfully and then she will treat you with a level
01:11:03.139 --> 01:11:06.039
of respect you've never received right and it's
01:11:06.039 --> 01:11:09.239
a mutual thing and respect is so very important
01:11:09.239 --> 01:11:12.319
and if you want to have a perfect marriage and a
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:15.539
perfect relationship and non-stop sex
01:11:15.539 --> 01:11:18.479
with your woman treat her with that level of respect because you
01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:21.639
will get more and more respect back and the
01:11:21.639 --> 01:11:24.559
reciprocity will be amazing okay husband
01:11:24.559 --> 01:11:28.739
make sure you are listening yes this now
01:11:28.739 --> 01:11:31.939
let's talk safety though too we have to talk about that because safety
01:11:31.939 --> 01:11:36.979
matters too now okay if you're with a respectful man like i was uh-huh i safety
01:11:36.979 --> 01:11:40.639
it was still a concern right because you never know who they really are right
01:11:40.639 --> 01:11:45.319
so you need to let people know where you're going oh i see all right and typically
01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:48.619
they're not going to pick you up right you're going to meet them on a first
01:11:48.619 --> 01:11:51.699
date now if It's like the third, fourth, fifth date, something like that.
01:11:51.819 --> 01:11:54.319
They can pick you up if you're comfortable with the person.
01:11:54.639 --> 01:11:57.619
But on your first date, you need to let somebody know where you're going. Right.
01:11:58.119 --> 01:12:04.479
And pack breath mints and lip balm and cash just in case you need it.
01:12:05.059 --> 01:12:08.519
And don't arrive late. I never have cash.
01:12:08.599 --> 01:12:11.459
When you're rushed, I mean, I was really rushed the other day,
01:12:11.559 --> 01:12:14.899
but when you're rushed, it scatters your energy and it takes a little bit to refocus.
01:12:15.759 --> 01:12:19.199
So if you can get ready in advance, pick out your outfit the night before,
01:12:19.299 --> 01:12:23.819
like you told me I should have done, and, you know, get yourself organized.
01:12:23.819 --> 01:12:27.099
You're not going to be scattered, and you're going to be able to listen better.
01:12:28.399 --> 01:12:32.179
So it's important. It's important. If you have a date going on,
01:12:32.299 --> 01:12:33.659
pick out your outfit the night before.
01:12:33.859 --> 01:12:37.119
Try on, be shoes on, all of that stuff. And men should, too.
01:12:37.559 --> 01:12:40.119
Right. I think a man should have clean-cut hair.
01:12:40.779 --> 01:12:43.919
Definitely. I think if they shave, they should be freshly shaven.
01:12:44.719 --> 01:12:47.639
I don't think you should be scruffy. I don't think you should come in looking
01:12:47.639 --> 01:12:50.239
like you just did landscaping with dirty nails. No.
01:12:50.639 --> 01:12:54.099
I think they have to smell good. That's a must. If you...
01:12:54.681 --> 01:12:57.881
If you are sweaty, you better run that air conditioner in your car a lot.
01:12:58.001 --> 01:13:02.581
Right. And you better not walk into a date stinky. If you come in stinky, I'm done.
01:13:02.881 --> 01:13:04.921
Right. Because I have a really good nose.
01:13:05.481 --> 01:13:09.041
And I will just walk out. I'll be like, oh, I can't do it. Yeah.
01:13:09.081 --> 01:13:11.461
Because if your body stinks, I know down there stinks. Yeah.
01:13:11.561 --> 01:13:12.821
So it's not happening. No.
01:13:13.341 --> 01:13:16.981
And your breath can't stink. Uh-huh. Your skin has to be clean.
01:13:17.481 --> 01:13:20.481
If you don't have good hygiene, it's like I'm out the door. Well,
01:13:20.521 --> 01:13:25.261
I have to say, though, I give both of you A+. Oh, for our attire?
01:13:25.421 --> 01:13:27.261
For this weekend, yeah. Attire, everything.
01:13:27.521 --> 01:13:30.761
Even though I was rushed, I still showed up, okay? Yeah. Okay,
01:13:30.841 --> 01:13:32.501
good. I'll give you A+. All right, good.
01:13:33.261 --> 01:13:37.501
Well, and you can't have wrinkly shirts. I don't know about that. Or dresses.
01:13:37.941 --> 01:13:41.481
Well, sometimes then you wear linen. Linen's supposed to look good wrinkled.
01:13:41.781 --> 01:13:43.081
Linen does not look good wrinkled.
01:13:44.961 --> 01:13:50.021
I don't know how to iron, so I do. Oh, I do love linen. That's why you get a steamer.
01:13:50.561 --> 01:13:54.141
You get one of those steamers, or you just send it out to the dry cleaner. but you
01:13:54.141 --> 01:13:57.041
should not people shouldn't be wearing linen if it's all wrinkly on the
01:13:57.041 --> 01:13:59.941
first date they really shouldn't yeah i don't
01:13:59.941 --> 01:14:02.821
think they should and yes when you sit down linen gets wrinkly
01:14:02.821 --> 01:14:05.561
but i get it but it shouldn't be like crumbled wrinkly and
01:14:05.561 --> 01:14:08.441
if you came out of the dryer that's kind of how it looks and don't
01:14:08.441 --> 01:14:11.581
wear shorts gym shorts or sweatpants i can't i
01:14:11.581 --> 01:14:14.321

01:14:29.161 --> 01:14:32.281
kind of like a when you go for a job interview i think
01:14:32.281 --> 01:14:35.101
you should dress for success i would wear a
01:14:35.101 --> 01:14:38.141
suit to a job interview as a barista honestly i would
01:14:38.141 --> 01:14:41.261
dress up i always dress a level above of what
01:14:41.261 --> 01:14:44.181
i think is required yeah now i'm not saying we're
01:14:44.181 --> 01:14:47.201
like a you always have a sport jacket over
01:14:47.201 --> 01:14:50.401
you always have a sports jacket i'm not saying you have to dress super high
01:14:50.401 --> 01:14:53.501
end yeah but yeah it's it's important
01:14:53.501 --> 01:14:56.281
to dress up and your nails should be done your toes should be done but
01:14:56.281 --> 01:14:59.061
there should be too they should
01:14:59.061 --> 01:15:01.961
have good hygiene and if they don't go get their nails done i
01:15:01.961 --> 01:15:04.761
mean it's gross to see a man that you're going on a date with and
01:15:04.761 --> 01:15:08.061
flip flops and they have fungus on their toes oh yes
01:15:08.061 --> 01:15:10.681
that's gross right gross they need to take care of
01:15:10.681 --> 01:15:14.581
themselves and fungus contagious yes
01:15:14.581 --> 01:15:17.601

01:15:26.041 --> 01:15:30.501
Is nice or when they're like khaki pants that are pleated those are nice even
01:15:30.501 --> 01:15:37.561
just a jean polo shirt and a sport jacket that just sets it already yes yes
01:15:37.561 --> 01:15:41.541
something yeah but no t-shirt because.
01:15:42.178 --> 01:15:44.978
The wee neck no no and don't wear clothes that are too small or
01:15:44.978 --> 01:15:48.378
too big oh my god no where are things that fit you so
01:15:48.378 --> 01:15:51.298
that you feel confident too you don't want to wear something too small and then burst
01:15:51.298 --> 01:15:54.418
your pants or you know but break a
01:15:54.418 --> 01:15:57.178
break a button and now your boobs are hanging out during the date i mean that'd
01:15:57.178 --> 01:16:00.078
be embarrassing right make sure it fits that
01:16:00.078 --> 01:16:03.078
same covid woman too and shoes are important too oh
01:16:03.078 --> 01:16:05.978
good shoes take you good places i always say that good shoes
01:16:05.978 --> 01:16:09.018
take good places men actually i got compliments
01:16:09.018 --> 01:16:11.718
on my shoes from the guy i dated he actually liked my
01:16:11.718 --> 01:16:14.638
shoes and my toes because i got really pretty toes see
01:16:14.638 --> 01:16:17.498
yeah shoes i always say
01:16:17.498 --> 01:16:20.458
that to everyone shoes take you good
01:16:20.458 --> 01:16:24.918
places so make sure you have a nice shoe and the right shoe for all occasions
01:16:24.918 --> 01:16:31.298
yeah so when a man dresses nicely it makes all the difference yes it makes all
01:16:31.298 --> 01:16:36.118
the difference and people don't realize how much your appearance matters and
01:16:36.118 --> 01:16:40.258
how you're going to be much more self-confident if you look good.
01:16:40.978 --> 01:16:46.878
Yes. It's so very important. Yes. I teach my son that too, all the time.
01:16:47.338 --> 01:16:50.218
Oh, it's so important. It's super important.
01:16:50.698 --> 01:16:54.418
You got to dress for success, both men and women. Yes.
01:16:54.998 --> 01:17:00.818
Now, let's say that you've been on three or four dates and you've been going
01:17:00.818 --> 01:17:04.118
out for a while or you're just getting back into it.
01:17:04.198 --> 01:17:07.838
You've been dating for a while, and you're ready to make the next move.
01:17:08.018 --> 01:17:10.238
What do you do? Is laundry important?
01:17:10.838 --> 01:17:12.618
Well, yes, your laundry is important.
01:17:14.198 --> 01:17:21.398
So you're ready to have sex with the man. I don't think it's the woman's job to make the first move.
01:17:21.718 --> 01:17:23.578
No. No, I don't think so.
01:17:23.998 --> 01:17:29.278
Now, I will say that one person I was intimate with, we had the phone conversation
01:17:29.278 --> 01:17:32.038
about it first. And then we had,
01:17:32.690 --> 01:17:38.110
A text conversation about getting tested second before anything happened, which is fine.
01:17:39.450 --> 01:17:42.350
And there's still no pressure. Let's say you decide that one night you're going
01:17:42.350 --> 01:17:45.450
to have sex and then it just doesn't feel right. Don't do it.
01:17:46.550 --> 01:17:51.270
But you've got to be comfortable in your body, too. So if you're out of shape
01:17:51.270 --> 01:17:55.430
and you're not going to be comfortable having sex with someone, don't have it. Yeah.
01:17:56.010 --> 01:17:59.670
Get in shape or get to the level you want to be before you can have it.
01:17:59.710 --> 01:18:01.570
Because you've got to be confident enough to have sex.
01:18:01.730 --> 01:18:05.950
Right. And then you'll feel beautiful, right? Yes. I always feel beautiful, though, regardless.
01:18:06.310 --> 01:18:10.050
I think so, too. You don't have to be perfect, but you have to be confident. Mm-hmm.
01:18:10.350 --> 01:18:13.150
And you have to be with someone that's not going to be disrespectful of your
01:18:13.150 --> 01:18:16.010
body either. Yeah, no. But if you're at the fourth or fifth date,
01:18:16.150 --> 01:18:18.230
you're probably already comfortable enough with your body.
01:18:19.090 --> 01:18:23.430
And here's the thing, ladies. Most men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s,
01:18:23.530 --> 01:18:25.630
they have dad bods anyway. Right.
01:18:25.930 --> 01:18:27.970
And
so they're not perfect.
01:18:28.450 --> 01:18:31.870
They have their little belly. It's nice when you can find someone that's in
01:18:31.870 --> 01:18:33.950
shape if you're in shape, but it's not always.
01:18:34.310 --> 01:18:38.250
No, not always. And sometimes you have to grow together and get in shape together.
01:18:38.490 --> 01:18:42.310
Yeah. And some people just, they'll just always have a dad body. You just don't know.
01:18:42.650 --> 01:18:44.650
Yeah, some people have that indentation.
01:18:45.210 --> 01:18:49.130
Yeah. Some people are in shape, some people aren't. It's nice when they're in shape.
01:18:49.510 --> 01:18:53.390
Yeah, but it's work to be in shape. It's a lot of work.
01:18:53.450 --> 01:18:56.910
A lot of work. I will say I see a lot more bachelors that have been bachelors
01:18:56.910 --> 01:18:59.310
for a long time in shape than people that have come out of marriages.
01:18:59.810 --> 01:19:02.870
That's true. I'm seeing that a lot more. So people that have been in marriages,
01:19:03.150 --> 01:19:07.690
especially if they were unhappy, whoever was the most unhappy in the marriage
01:19:07.690 --> 01:19:10.690
usually comes out of that marriage out of shape.
01:19:10.970 --> 01:19:15.010
Right. I agree. Yeah. So if you were very unhappy, you're coming out of marriage
01:19:15.010 --> 01:19:17.350
out of shape. So maybe it's time to focus on you and spend time.
01:19:17.450 --> 01:19:21.750
But let's say you've gotten in shape to where you're comfortable enough.
01:19:22.310 --> 01:19:25.150
And you're ready to have sex with somebody. And you've gone four or five dates.
01:19:25.310 --> 01:19:28.130
And you feel safe. And it's time.
01:19:28.900 --> 01:19:33.940
Life happens, right? Mm-hmm. And I think you should still take it slow,
01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:38.340
but you really want to have that first time after to be a little romantic. Mm-hmm.
01:19:38.780 --> 01:19:41.360
Solo intimacy is you're going to be doing all the time anyway. Right.
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:44.760
And you need to be comfortable and have had a couple discussions.
01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:46.420
I don't think you should rush into it.
01:19:46.620 --> 01:19:50.660
Mm-hmm. I don't think it should be a drunken screw fest, personally.
01:19:50.900 --> 01:19:52.020
Not for your first time after.
01:19:52.420 --> 01:19:57.160
I really don't think so. Mm-mm. And you need to let the other person know about
01:19:57.160 --> 01:19:58.100
your boundaries sexually.
01:19:58.700 --> 01:20:00.720
You know what I'm talking about, right? Right. There's safe words.
01:20:01.100 --> 01:20:03.600
Well, there's safe words. I mean, that's if you're doing bondage.
01:20:03.740 --> 01:20:08.620
But there's boundaries that you have the things you don't want to do. Right.
01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:11.380
Some people don't want to have sex against a wall.
01:20:12.440 --> 01:20:17.300
Some people just want to have missionary. Some people don't like it doggy style.
01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:21.260
Right. You need to open conversation. Some people don't do oral sex.
01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:28.040
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right? So those are things that you need to have a discussion with. Yeah.
01:20:28.780 --> 01:20:34.740
And there's no reason you can't have that discussion well before you have sex. Yeah. It worked.
01:20:35.200 --> 01:20:39.440
It had to both, both of you had to work together. I think so.
01:20:39.940 --> 01:20:43.240
I think so. And because you're going to be vulnerable when you're naked.
01:20:43.620 --> 01:20:48.000
Mm-hmm. And you got to be comfortable enough to allow that vulnerability.
01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:52.460
Mm-hmm. To exist in front of someone you haven't been naked with in the past.
01:20:53.200 --> 01:20:56.420
Yes. So being, going slow, being playful, talking.
01:20:57.760 --> 01:21:02.340
Asking what you like and don't expect your moans to tell your partner what you
01:21:02.340 --> 01:21:07.400
like there's nothing wrong with asking them and there's nothing wrong with them asking you,
01:21:08.040 --> 01:21:14.740
i see oh it's true yeah you're different because you know what each other like
01:21:14.740 --> 01:21:19.520
at this point at this point but in the beginning i bet you asked yeah we actually
01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:23.180
had conversation yes and give yourself permission to laugh.
01:21:24.080 --> 01:21:26.160
Yeah. And don't feel bad about it. No.
01:21:26.938 --> 01:21:34.058
Be careful when you laugh, ladies. If you laugh because they finished early, that's not a good thing.
01:21:34.478 --> 01:21:39.498
But, like, if you laugh because it's been a long time and if they ask you,
01:21:39.598 --> 01:21:41.638
what are you laughing at? Just say, it's been a while.
01:21:42.298 --> 01:21:47.038
I forgot what this felt like. Yeah. You know, I mean, you can laugh about that,
01:21:47.218 --> 01:21:48.498
but don't laugh on their performance.
01:21:48.918 --> 01:21:52.298
It'll kill a guy's ego. I don't care who they are. It'll kill a guy's ego.
01:21:53.298 --> 01:21:58.498
And it's a new shared experience. Now, they may have had more experience than you. I don't know.
01:21:59.478 --> 01:22:05.258
Or you may have more experience than them. But if it's your first time back, it's enjoyable.
01:22:06.158 --> 01:22:09.158
I think you should wear lingerie. Oh, lingerie is a must.
01:22:09.478 --> 01:22:13.238
It's not. I have talked to men. Some men like it. Some men don't.
01:22:13.358 --> 01:22:18.018
Some men say they just like you very naked. Some men say they just want you naked.
01:22:18.318 --> 01:22:20.878
I will say it's fun.
01:22:21.938 --> 01:22:25.058
Although it comes off very quickly. Right. Even it comes off quickly.
01:22:25.058 --> 01:22:26.358
I just like to be in laundry.
01:22:26.958 --> 01:22:30.298
Make you feel comfortable. I think it's good for married couples,
01:22:30.318 --> 01:22:33.838
too. Yeah. Because with married couples, it spices things up.
01:22:34.238 --> 01:22:36.518
I love my lingeries. Yeah.
01:22:36.938 --> 01:22:39.718
And I think you should have proper lighting.
01:22:40.198 --> 01:22:44.178
I don't think it should be bright. You know what I really like is those yellow
01:22:44.178 --> 01:22:45.958
lights that are more orange.
01:22:46.218 --> 01:22:49.298
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amber is what they call them. Right. The amber lights,
01:22:49.438 --> 01:22:52.358
whether it's an amber candle or an amber light.
01:22:52.778 --> 01:22:57.778
Not the LED bright. No, not the LED. The amber lights make it so romantic feeling.
01:22:58.758 --> 01:23:06.318
And then you can have sexual eye contact. You can flirt. You can use toys even. Toys are fun.
01:23:07.178 --> 01:23:09.158
I'm actually thinking to redo
01:23:09.158 --> 01:23:12.918
my bedroom in one of the bedrooms that the interior designers suggest.
01:23:13.298 --> 01:23:17.598
They have a, you know, the, you know how you have a tool reading lamp? Uh-huh.
01:23:18.138 --> 01:23:20.518
So you could switch to like little flicking candles.
01:23:21.258 --> 01:23:25.758
That's nice. Yeah. Or just get an amber candle. Yeah. I have an amber nightlight.
01:23:26.018 --> 01:23:29.458
Yeah. That you can leave turned on. That's got the perfect light.
01:23:30.398 --> 01:23:34.038
And then, you know, just the fact that you're getting back out there,
01:23:34.238 --> 01:23:36.298
you should celebrate this.
01:23:36.498 --> 01:23:39.278
It should be empowering for you. I think so.
01:23:39.958 --> 01:23:44.038
And then, you know. Yeah, it should celebrate. It's like somebody just lit up
01:23:44.038 --> 01:23:45.518
your firecracker. They did.
01:23:45.898 --> 01:23:48.978
See? And it's going to be different than it was before. Of course.
01:23:49.198 --> 01:23:50.878
The sex is going to be completely different.
01:23:51.158 --> 01:23:54.538
Mm-hmm. and it may suck how that's
01:23:54.538 --> 01:23:57.978
gonna be sucked despite it you haven't done well you may not have done it for
01:23:57.978 --> 01:24:03.318
a while but you remember when you were a virgin oh i see and you hadn't had
01:24:03.318 --> 01:24:08.738
sex before and it was your first time oh a disappointment it was so your first
01:24:08.738 --> 01:24:13.198
time with a person may not be the best and then try it again,
01:24:13.867 --> 01:24:17.987
Yeah. Because sometimes it takes a little bit to learn each other's bodies and
01:24:17.987 --> 01:24:22.227
your intricacies because they may not have had sex with a person and they may
01:24:22.227 --> 01:24:24.507
be having sex the way they had sex with their wife.
01:24:24.807 --> 01:24:28.787
That's why it's important that you can talk it out. You talk it out.
01:24:29.047 --> 01:24:34.247
You do. Tell them what you like and they tell you what they don't like. Just be playful.
01:24:35.367 --> 01:24:39.707
Play. Yeah. Life is all about fun. It is.
01:24:39.887 --> 01:24:44.267
About fun. It's all about fun. When you're having fun, everything will be better.
01:24:44.507 --> 01:24:49.707
It is. And I encourage sex. I encourage people to fill out their bodies,
01:24:49.887 --> 01:24:55.107
enjoy themselves, and make sure that the woman comes first or at least comes
01:24:55.107 --> 01:24:56.567
during the intercourse. Yes.
01:24:56.787 --> 01:25:01.807
Because, man, if you're with a woman and you have sex and she does not get off,
01:25:02.387 --> 01:25:04.167
you might get away with it once or twice.
01:25:04.587 --> 01:25:08.127
But if it's a consistent problem, and it is a problem.
01:25:08.567 --> 01:25:12.107
You can have multiple orgasms. And women can have multiple orgasms, so don't stop at one.
01:25:12.307 --> 01:25:18.307
But if it becomes a consistent issue where the woman's not getting off, then there is an issue.
01:25:18.427 --> 01:25:21.547
And she won't want to have sex with you. And ladies, stop faking it.
01:25:21.947 --> 01:25:24.927
Right. You need to stop. If you fake it, you're never going to have pleasure.
01:25:25.247 --> 01:25:29.887
So stop faking it. If he doesn't please you, don't fake it just to have him
01:25:29.887 --> 01:25:31.747
stop doing it. Say, you know what? I don't enjoy that.
01:25:32.147 --> 01:25:36.327
Let's try something different. Be communicative. Right. But don't ever fake
01:25:36.327 --> 01:25:39.787
it. I don't think after the age of 30 you should ever fake an orgasm. No.
01:25:40.007 --> 01:25:42.847
Now, you should have orgasms and enjoy them.
01:25:43.127 --> 01:25:46.847
Life is too short to be fake. Yes, life is too short to be fake.
01:25:46.967 --> 01:25:48.667
And orgasms are very important.
01:25:48.807 --> 01:25:51.127
That's number one. Orgasms are the whole point.
01:25:52.187 --> 01:25:55.007
It's more important for the woman to get off than it is the man, honestly.
01:25:55.817 --> 01:25:58.797
And it doesn't take much for a woman to have opiasome, I don't think.
01:25:59.177 --> 01:26:02.477
It doesn't. Well, it may take five minutes. I mean, ten minutes.
01:26:02.557 --> 01:26:04.877
Depending on the woman. Some women take longer than others, right?
01:26:05.457 --> 01:26:09.177
But again, men, most of the time a woman's going to need an external clitoral
01:26:09.177 --> 01:26:12.077
stimulation before she actually has an internal. Yeah.
01:26:12.397 --> 01:26:16.157
So remember that. You G-spot second. First base is the clit.
01:26:16.337 --> 01:26:20.277
Second base is the G-spot. Third base is deeper inside.
01:26:20.817 --> 01:26:23.837
Toys. And you can have like cock rings with vibrators on it.
01:26:23.877 --> 01:26:27.497
There's all things you can do. if the man is having difficulty pleasuring you.
01:26:27.877 --> 01:26:30.877
Right. There's fingers, there's mouths, there's all kinds of things.
01:26:31.057 --> 01:26:33.537
We have so many discussions about that. Uh-huh.
01:26:33.997 --> 01:26:40.917
But I think that's another podcast. Oh, I think we need to do just that separate. We do.
01:26:41.217 --> 01:26:48.897
Mm-hmm. So if you have finally gotten the guts to go out again, I encourage you to do it.
01:26:49.077 --> 01:26:53.277
Mm-hmm. I challenge you to document the things you like when you're dating.
01:26:53.577 --> 01:26:55.857
Mm-hmm. And to not settle.
01:26:56.437 --> 01:27:00.537
Right. Because life is too short to settle. And there's so many people out there.
01:27:00.857 --> 01:27:04.957
We live in a wonderful time. And we can find the people because there's things
01:27:04.957 --> 01:27:10.697
called dating apps and meetups and social networking and friends and family. Yeah.
01:27:11.077 --> 01:27:13.377
All of them both. There's a ton of opportunity.
01:27:13.937 --> 01:27:17.897
And you can find exactly what you're looking for. Yeah. No need to cut yourself short.
01:27:18.057 --> 01:27:22.837
So I encourage it. And I think we've covered it all today, DevaCat. I think we do.
01:27:23.497 --> 01:27:28.117
Well, this is Diva Mia signing off, wishing you the best of luck on your dates. Yes.
