  Let's dive in with Diva Mia and Diva Kat.
• 0:26
  Aloha, Diva Kat. Hello, Divine Mia. How are you today? I'm good.
• 0:32
  How has your summer gone? I don't want to drink it. It's like halfway gone.
• 0:37
  Do you believe it? I know, I know.
• 0:39
  Enjoy while you can, ladies and gentlemen. I know, but I've been having a good summer.
• 0:43
  Yeah, we've been having good summer and good weather.
• 0:47
  I was surprised it's going to be hot, but it's not hot. Because rain actually calmed out a lot.
• 0:53
  I love the morning walk. I woke my dog in the rain this morning.
• 0:56
  She would look at me like, I honestly think I've had the best summer because
• 1:00
  I've been single. Look at you. You're like glowing.
• 1:03
  I've been so glowing single lady, but I'm still dating.
• 1:08
  You know, but for me, I think I've gotten to the point where I don't want to
• 1:13
  waste my time with anyone that's not a growth minded, positive person.
• 1:17
  And I think we need to limit people's access to us sometimes.
• 1:21
  I think sometimes we allow people into our lives that don't fit and we let them stay too long. Yeah.
• 1:28
  Time, it just went by so fast. Time goes fast. And I was actually doing the
• 1:32
  same thing with friends now.
• 1:33
  If they're not making me feel good or a growth-minded person, I let them go too.
• 1:38
  Same goes in everything else. Yeah. So it's not just dating, guys.
• 1:41
  I think it's important to only put the people in your life that help you grow
• 1:46
  and that have a similar growth-minded set so you can actually improve yourself.
• 1:51
  Energy. Energy has to match. Energy is so important. For the horizon to grow. Oh, I like that.
• 1:58
  The energy between two people has to match. That's allowed the horizon to grow. I love that.
• 2:05
  I love that. So your energy matches and then your horizon will grow. I love that. Love that.
• 2:12
  I love that. Love that. Well, I think that we are all looking for alignment, right? Right.
• 2:18
  And when you're dating out there, it's so complicated because you're also looking for alignment,
• 2:24
  connection physical attraction whether or
• 2:28
  not you can actually sit in the same room and tolerate each other
• 2:30
  and then on top of that do you get along do
• 2:34
  you really vibe together yeah i think alignment is what we're really focused
• 2:38
  on we're looking for someone that connects with us someone that's emotionally
• 2:41
  available yeah someone that's healed from their past traumas and divorces yes
• 2:46
  and someone that you just vibe with and also someone intelligent okay so i'm
• 2:51
  creating a big list, aren't I?
• 2:53
  Yes, you have. I mean, you are. I have this huge list.
• 2:56
  You know, I think because whoever I choose next is going to be my last one.
• 3:02
  Hopefully not good, right? Right. Whoever you choose should be someone that
• 3:06
  you plan to spend a long future with, that you just, you feel good with. I agree.
• 3:11
  Yeah, so the other thing is, you know, you have to realize that you have to be ready.
• 3:16
  And who are you and who's your authentic self?
• 3:19
  And if you can be who you truly are with that person and your authentic self,
• 3:23
  that says a lot. I think if you have to fake it with someone,
• 3:27
  it may not be the right fit.
• 3:29
  It's so funny. That was the first phrase that my yoga instructor always said.
• 3:34
  My first yoga instructor always said, she goes, arrive as yourself. Be authentic.
• 3:40
  Remember who you are. That's what she said. So if you can be confident with
• 3:45
  that person and your true authentic self, I think that goes a long way into
• 3:49
  finding your person. Yeah.
• 3:51
  If you feel comfortable. I think that's why a lot of people start off as friends.
• 3:54
  You know what I mean? Mm-hmm.
• 3:56
  They start off as friends, and then they can grow into something more.
• 4:00
  Yeah, my husband and I started off as friends. We hung out for like three years before we committed.
• 4:04
  Yeah. But the energy was just mad. And you guys were authentic from day one.
• 4:08
  Yeah. I mean, you pigged out.
• 4:10
  Yeah, I know. In front of him from day one. Yeah, I did too.
• 4:15
  And he liked that about you. I know. Isn't that something? Yours, 200.
• 4:19
  Really? Yeah. And he still loved every bit of you. Yeah, because I eat.
• 4:24
  Because you eat. Surf and turf. Surf and turf. She's an eater.
• 4:28
  You found someone that you are authentic with, and he could be authentic with you, too.
• 4:32
  So I think part of it is when you're with someone, do they make you feel alive?
• 4:37
  Yeah. Or do they make you feel dread?
• 4:39
  You want to be with someone that makes you feel alive. And I think you want
• 4:43
  to be with someone that makes you feel young.
• 4:45
  Yeah. I know we had the podcast talking about dating younger,
• 4:48
  but there's some young people that make you feel old.
• 4:52
  And there's some old people that make you feel young. I agree.
• 4:55
  Yeah. If the energy match, like at the end of the day, you're just tired from work.
• 5:00
  You don't need to be like entertaining each other. You could just sit next to
• 5:03
  each other and don't say anything and put on our favorite show.
• 5:06
  And that would be just it.
• 5:07
  Yeah. I like to be playful, though, too. Yeah. I like to go out and have fun.
• 5:11
  And I think that's powerful. It's inspiring to be with someone that has your
• 5:15
  same energy or your same flow.
• 5:17
  Your same vibration, basically. That's what you're looking for.
• 5:21
  And I think if people that you're with are healed from all their past wounds,
• 5:26
  I think that that's a huge start, too.
• 5:29
  Of course. Because no one wants to settle. I don't care whether you're a man
• 5:33
  or a woman. No one wants to settle. They want to find their person.
• 5:36
  They don't want to fix, like, you don't want to fix anyone anymore.
• 5:39
  Yeah, not fixing anyone.
• 5:40
  And they don't want to fix anyone either. And I kind of want someone who knows
• 5:43
  who they are, someone who steps into their abilities as a man and owns it.
• 5:51
  So and here's the thing. Some people say, oh, he's got to have money or,
• 5:54
  oh, he's got to look this certain way or, oh, he's got to be six foot two or whatever it is.
• 5:58
  I don't think that's a criteria. That's a fixed thing for me.
• 6:02
  I think that's more fluid. It's more about the character and the personality
• 6:06
  as we go a little older. Yeah. That's just an add on, I think. Yeah.
• 6:10
  Now, also, what happens if they have kids? The kid is tough.
• 6:14
  The kid is tough. I think you shouldn't be introducing children together for a while. I don't.
• 6:18
  I think if you both have kids, you should not introduce each other to children,
• 6:23
  tell you for sure that you're going to be something. Be something.
• 6:28
  Something like you're several months in. Right.
• 6:30
  And I don't know if you need to set a time limit, but I know you have to set a vibe feeling.
• 6:35
  Like you have to be really committed to that relationship.
• 6:39
  I think when the time, the time will tell you. Time will tell you.
• 6:42
  Your feeling will know that, okay, this is the time. Yeah.
• 6:45
  And then there's certain behaviors too. Like we talked about, do they work out?
• 6:50
  Like I'm kind of fanatical about working out now. I didn't used to always be,
• 6:53
  but now I'm kind of a workout fanatic. I don't miss days.
• 6:57
  I'm a gym brat. Yeah, I'm a gym brat. But you're gym brat and work out.
• 7:01
  I'm not necessarily work out. Yeah, I like to lift.
• 7:05
  Yeah, you like to go jump around. I like to do yoga though, but I also like to lift a lot of weight.
• 7:10
  So I need somebody that lifts weights. Here's the other thing.
• 7:13
  It may sound silly to you, but I am strong and I have strong shoulders.
• 7:17
  And strong arms. How many times do you do the deadlift? I don't know.
• 7:21
  I haven't done a deadlift for a while.
• 7:22
  I only do 20. Oh my gosh. Oh, I could probably at least deadlift 150 to 200 pounds. Easy.
• 7:27
  Yeah. I like press. I like press like 550 to 600.
• 7:31
  Holy cow. Yeah. If you want me, it's going to run over you. You better shift up. Yeah.
• 7:35
  Well, here's the thing. If a guy has smaller shoulders than me,
• 7:39
  I know this sounds silly, but if their shoulders are not muscular, I'm not interested.
• 7:43
  It's just a physical attribute. I think that's more important,
• 7:46
  honestly, than height. Like the built.
• 7:49
  Have to be built. They have to be a little built because I need somebody that
• 7:52
  can put their arms around me and make me feel safe.
• 7:54
  So muscular is important. And I know there's a lot of skinny guys out there.
• 7:58
  A lot of, I don't know, I call them toothpicks. If their legs are smaller than
• 8:01
  mine, it's like, I have really muscular legs.
• 8:04
  I want a guy that has some muscle on his legs too. Yeah.
• 8:07
  It's funny you say that. We just saw the movie that just came out with Dakota Johnson, Materialist.
• 8:12
  Materialistic. Okay. Materialistic. Yes. She was a matchmaker.
• 8:17
  Yeah. So the guy, When she was dating, he actually had a six-inch extension
• 8:21
  on his leg to make it perfect because, like, appearance is so important.
• 8:26
  So he, for the movie? He was born short. That's a storyline.
• 8:30
  He was born, him and his brother was born short. That's how they...
• 8:33
  So they put bones in to extend there so they could be taller. No, they break it.
• 8:37
  Yeah, that's how the leg extension... They break the leg and they put the screw in, they extend it.
• 8:43
  That's a screw to turn little. It's very painful and very expensive.
• 8:46
  My point was, because of that, that's what he thinks, because he was short and
• 8:51
  he couldn't find any date.
• 8:52
  And when that surgery done, complete, that's when he starts to find love, find matches.
• 8:59
  Well, that's a mindset. I think a lot of people's mindsets are very limiting.
• 9:03
  Like some people say I'm old or some people say I'm too fat or too short or too stupid or too poor.
• 9:10
  And that's a mindset. And once you shift your mindset and think of all the blessings
• 9:15
  that you're gifted and all the things that you have going on in your life,
• 9:19
  you can, it's an amazing thing. I just want to be big. I'll breathe and healthy.
• 9:23
  Don't, my bone, my ache, my joy doesn't hurt. That's good for me. Yeah. My God, yes.
• 9:29
  Yeah, so people's mindset, whether they're where they think they are,
• 9:33
  it's usually where they're at.
• 9:34
  And we don't realize law of attraction attracts that, too. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:39
  I have to say, though, now, like my days, five years ago, it was much easier.
• 9:44
  Nowadays, it's getting hard.
• 9:45
  It's getting very hard. The standards are higher.
• 9:48
  Yeah. Well, I think it's because we've been there, done that with the wrong person. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:53
  That we're a little bit more cautious when we look for the right person.
• 9:56
  We're looking for someone that fits on a lot of different levels.
• 10:00
  And I will say, I used to be more into appearance than I am now.
• 10:03
  I think appearance is not as big of a thing as long as I can feel safe with them. Yeah.
• 10:08
  I do want someone that lifts weights, though, just because I lift weights.
• 10:11
  And I want that to continue till the day I die.
• 10:14
  So I want someone that's going to be fit and healthy. You want someone to have
• 10:18
  the same habits, same energy.
• 10:20
  Yeah, I want to go to work out at the gym with the guy I'm with.
• 10:22
  I do that with my son, right? I go live lights with my son.
• 10:27
  So I want to be able to, you know, have some commonalities.
• 10:32
  Yeah, yeah. So I think that's important. And I think you also need to be the
• 10:36
  best version of yourself going into a relationship.
• 10:38
  And then you attract your ideal partner. They just come to you. They just show up.
• 10:42
  Well, if you're a better person of yourself, I mean, you feel good about yourself,
• 10:45
  right? Everything else will fall in place. Yeah.
• 10:48
  Maybe that's why I'm starting to date again because I'm feeling really good
• 10:51
  about myself. See? You look better. You look good.
• 10:54
  You're glowing. you know it's time it's time that's what the divorce coach said
• 10:58
  too it's time i'm not data collecting again and i'm attracting better people
• 11:03
  i will say that i'm not on the dating apps anymore.
• 11:06
  Oh, that's awesome. No, that's just terrible. I just don't like the dating apps.
• 11:11
  It's because it's so superficial.
• 11:13
  Pictures in there. I think I got off because I had all these 30-year-olds trying
• 11:17
  to pick me up. And they're more like, what's up?
• 11:21
  What's up? And hey, let's talk right away. And I'm like, oh, my gosh.
• 11:25
  And then half their pictures are without shirts on. So I'm like,
• 11:28
  you're a F boy, as they call it.
• 11:31
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was not into that. And I am a mature woman.
• 11:36
  I'm not ever going to say I'm too old, but I'm a mature woman with wisdom,
• 11:39
  and I don't want that. No.
• 11:42
  I'm not looking for that. I wouldn't mind dating younger, but I don't want him to be an F.
• 11:46
  I mean, so I think one of the first things, the places to start when you're
• 11:50
  looking and you're ready and
• 11:52
  you feel ready to get out there is to get a journal and to make a list.
• 11:57
  And that list has to be a vision board thing.
• 12:00
  Well, it's more of a list of your wants in a man.
• 12:03
  Okay. And you do one column with your wants. Let's say I want him to be six foot two, right?
• 12:09
  Then you have a column that says, what do I need to be to match that?
• 12:12
  And you're not going to change your height, obviously.
• 12:14
  But, you know, maybe I need to be 125 pounds or something like that.
• 12:19
  Like his height matches your weight. So you have like something.
• 12:23
  Or I want them to be earning an income. And then I want to be providing for
• 12:27
  the household and the family.
• 12:28
  Whatever it is, match. So if they have a happy, bubbly personality,
• 12:33
  I need to have a happy, bubbly personality.
• 12:35
  They are energetic, you need to be energetic, right?
• 12:39
  So balance that out, figure out what you need to be in order to track that right
• 12:42
  person and see if you're there yet.
• 12:44
  Because that will help you determine whether or not you're ready to date.
• 12:48
  I see. And you may not be perfect. Now, I know us as women, remember,
• 12:52
  we look at a job board and we have to, we fit nine of the 10 criteria to apply for the job.
• 12:57
  And we won't do it till we get that 10th one in place.
• 12:59
  Whereas a guy looks at the job board and they fit three of the 10 and they're
• 13:02
  like, I'm going to go apply for the job.
• 13:04
  I think if you have eight to nine things out of your 10 or even six to 10,
• 13:09
  go apply for the job if you're close to being ready, but you will know when you're ready.
• 13:13
  You may not have everything on your list that you want. Maybe you're still 10
• 13:16
  pounds overweight or something, or you're still working on your finances,
• 13:20
  but go out there and apply.
• 13:22
  Just get out there and feel it and enjoy. Life is short.
• 13:25
  You don't have to be perfect to attract your perfect man. I agree.
• 13:30
  You don't have to be perfect because your perfect man is going to be imperfect.
• 13:33
  That's right. They're not going
• 13:34
  to be perfect either. They're just going to be the right fit for you.
• 13:37
  Perfectly imperfect. I'm perfectly imperfect. Yeah.
• 13:41
  Yeah. So here's an idea. So if everybody can get out their journal,
• 13:45
  as long as you're not driving.
• 13:46
  Okay. And let's start on our list. So I'm going to give you some ideas of the
• 13:51
  wants and nice to haves that you want. And then there's going to be some non-negotiables.
• 13:55
  And I like to put stars next to the ones that are non-negotiable.
• 13:59
  For the wants and desires, you can write down as they're nice-to-haves.
• 14:03
  And if you find somebody that, you know, equals 90 to 95% of this,
• 14:08
  you might have found your one.
• 14:09
  Why not? Yeah. So you could do, like, put a star or the heart.
• 14:12
  Put a star or heart next to the one that's non-negotiable. Yeah.
• 14:16
  So get your journal, and you're going to make a column. We're going to start with a guy column first.
• 14:20
  So this is the column, and if you're a man, start with a gal column.
• 14:24
  And we're going to start with the nice-to-haves.
• 14:26
  So the first thing you're going to talk about is, are they tall?
• 14:29
  Okay. How do they dress? Do they have a certain style?
• 14:33
  Metrosexual, I don't know if they use that term anymore. What metrosexual was,
• 14:36
  they were very well-dressed.
• 14:38
  I'm not big on the metrosexual because they tend to be very skinny,
• 14:41
  model-looking men. And I'm more like a rugged, husky-looking guy.
• 14:45
  That's more of what I look for. But whatever style they have,
• 14:49
  that's what you're looking for. Are they artistic?
• 14:52
  Can they draw? Can they sing? Those are types of, you know, do they have a flair
• 14:56
  to them? Some women like that gay-looking man, and they like that flair.
• 15:00
  Some women like more of a rugged-looking man. It just depends on what you're
• 15:03
  looking for. And what's their height?
• 15:05
  If in a perfect world, if you could get everything you wanted,
• 15:08
  what would their height be?
• 15:09
  I think a lot of women go to six foot, but I'm okay with 5'10 and above, 5'9 and above.
• 15:15
  I've dated 5'7 and it was fine. It doesn't matter as long as they're taller than me.
• 15:19
  That's why it's not a requirement, but it is a nice to have if they're six foot tall.
• 15:23
  You want to hear something? Yeah. My mother-in-law and my father-in-law,
• 15:26
  they've been together since she was 20.
• 15:29
  He was 22. Yeah. He's only fat too.
• 15:34
  She's 5'10". Oh, wow. Yeah. That's fun. Uh-huh.
• 15:38
  You know, that's out of the norm, but it's fun. I have seen women taller than
• 15:41
  men. It doesn't bother me. In the family picture, he always stops on the... Does he?
• 15:45
  Two steps up. Does he? Does he make her feel safe? Yeah.
• 15:49
  Oh, my God. See, that's, I think, the reason why women are attracted to taller men.
• 15:53
  That they show the men here when they sit next to each other.
• 15:56
  Oh, they're all touchy-feely?
• 15:57
  Well, you can keep doing that if you want. Yeah, like this. And now you've got
• 16:00
  to remember, now they're both in the 80s. Yeah. They're about 60.
• 16:05
  Yeah, 60 years at least. And they're still in love.
• 16:08
  Yeah, they talk to each other. That's because they touch each other nonstop,
• 16:11
  which means they're still having sex. I don't know about that. You know they are.
• 16:15
  She has a bad back. Doesn't matter.
• 16:17
  You're going to be having sex until you're nine. But I don't know.
• 16:21
  You know how people say as you go older?
• 16:23
  I feel like, you know, she got taller and he's shrinking. It could be.
• 16:27
  Because people do shrink. Because he looks very, very short.
• 16:30
  He's my height and I'm five feet.
• 16:33
  I'm 5'3 and a half, almost 5'3 and three quarters. I swear I've grown a half
• 16:37
  inch because I used to be just like a firm 5'3.
• 16:39
  I think I've grown an inch or so. I'm shrinking.
• 16:43
  Or maybe a half inch. I think I've grown. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Impossible.
• 16:48
  Yeah, there's still, so I don't think height is good.
• 16:53
  I think it should be negotiable. It is a must-have for some. Right.
• 16:57
  But I do feel like that comes from a desire for a woman to feel protected,
• 17:01
  A need for a woman to feel safe So if you can find a man that's 5'6 or 5'7 that
• 17:07
  makes you feel safe I dated a guy that was like 5'7 or 5'8 He made me feel safe
• 17:11
  He made me feel comfortable He was very chivalrous And the height didn't matter Yeah.
• 17:16
  Height doesn't matter. For women, it's all about safety and protection.
• 17:19
  If a guy makes you feel safe and can make you laugh once in a while, it's always good.
• 17:23
  Prince is only five feet. Prince is pretty hot. He's only five feet tall.
• 17:26
  He always, well, he's no longer.
• 17:30
  Rest his soul. I was actually listening to Prince this morning. Yeah, I love him. Yes.
• 17:34
  So if you don't know who Prince is, you may not like our podcast.
• 17:38
  Because we have a lot of references like that. Right.
• 17:41
  So anyway, so same hobby. So I think I like people that have similar hobbies
• 17:47
  that boy to spend time together doing things.
• 17:50
  So it may be that you like to go dancing or you like to go hiking or maybe you
• 17:54
  like to work out at the gym together or you like to read a book or you're into
• 17:59
  networking or something like that.
• 18:01
  Similar hobbies really do help. Well, I think hobby is non-negotiable. Yeah. Yeah.
• 18:06
  Hobbies are important. Yeah, because you want somebody like you wake up next
• 18:12
  day, it's not the one that you always have to be planning all the time.
• 18:17
  They have to come together. And then you wake up next day, I don't have breakfast.
• 18:20
  Okay, let's go for a night, let's walk the door.
• 18:22
  Someone that you can build a life with, not just a weekend with.
• 18:26
  Right, the hobby is non-goishable.
• 18:28
  The hobbies are non-goishable. Now, it doesn't have to be that you all have the same hobby.
• 18:32
  Right, right. Like, for instance, maybe he likes to go hunting and you like
• 18:36
  to go shopping. That's a good trade-off right there. Right.
• 18:39
  My husband and I, he loves snowboarding.
• 18:43
  And I hate it. But I love to go to ski slope because I like to get dressed up,
• 18:47
  walk around, shopping, see?
• 18:48
  Yeah. It doesn't have to be the same. It doesn't have to be the same thing as
• 18:52
  long as you're together.
• 18:53
  Right. Yeah. I like that. One of the things, maybe who cooks? I cook.
• 18:58
  And so he cooks. And you cook and he cleans. Oh, yeah.
• 19:02
  He's the cleaner. Yeah. No, I can clean toilet the way he does. Oh, my God.
• 19:06
  Even the cleaning lady. I'm telling you. He's a good cleaner.
• 19:10
  So you have a trade-off there. So maybe you want someone that cleans, like Katana's husband.
• 19:15
  Or maybe you want to clean and you want them to cook. Yeah. It could be works
• 19:20
  pretty. It can work both ways.
• 19:22
  Or maybe you just want somebody that you can cook together with and have fun.
• 19:25
  Like my sister, she's a chef. She owned a restaurant, right?
• 19:28
  But she come home, she doesn't cook. Her husband do all the cooking, everything. Well.
• 19:32
  So I think those are, you could work it out. You can work it out.
• 19:35
  I also like adventurous people.
• 19:37
  Yeah, me too. So people that are adventurous. Now, they don't have to be spontaneous
• 19:42
  for me because I have children and some things need to be planned.
• 19:46
  Well, when your children need children, I think you've got to plan.
• 19:49
  You do. And you've got to plan. Are you going to bring the kids?
• 19:52
  Are you going to bring them? Is it kid-friendly?
• 19:54
  You know? Yeah. You have to consider. Yeah. I also, I love adventurous people.
• 20:00
  I love people that will go out and do stuff that's not normal.
• 20:03
  Somebody, they'll dance in their car. I was sitting there today.
• 20:07
  I was in the rain and I have a Jeep truck. and I had the top off, and it was raining.
• 20:12
  And I was still dancing in my car. People were staring at me like I was crazy.
• 20:15
  I was like, I'm having fun in life.
• 20:17
  If you can have a little bit of fun, then shame on you. Go have some fun.
• 20:21
  Dancing in the rain. I told you, I bought my dog in the rain.
• 20:24
  Yes. I love it. It's something about the rain. It's so refreshing.
• 20:27
  Well, it's good for your hair. My hair is so curly now today.
• 20:31
  Yeah, yeah. And what about, one of the things I had before was someone that
• 20:36
  spoke a foreign language.
• 20:37
  When I was in college, that was one of the things I really wanted was a man
• 20:41
  that spoke a foreign language. So I wanted to date someone that was a foreigner.
• 20:46
  Isn't that funny? I ended up marrying one, too.
• 20:48
  Yeah. Yeah. But I needed a man that spoke a foreign language.
• 20:51
  It was one of my attraction things. Really? Yeah.
• 20:54
  Yeah. See, for us, growing up in third world country, we all minimum speak three languages. Really?
• 21:00
  See, that's an attraction thing for me. However, it's kind of shifted to now
• 21:04
  I just want a man with an accent.
• 21:06
  They could fake it. They can't fake it, but I like a Southern accent,
• 21:09
  Southern gentleman accent. I really like that.
• 21:11
  Oh, I thought you mean like... A European accent? A European accent.
• 21:15
  I've been there, done that. So now I'm looking for more of a Southern gentleman
• 21:19
  accent. I like that. Yeah.
• 21:21
  But I've even liked some New York accent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It depends.
• 21:25
  I like a little bit of an accent. I like to talk to people that have accents.
• 21:28
  Yeah. People from Boston, they don't say lobster. They go lobster.
• 21:31
  Lobster. Or if they have like a sexy man voice.
• 21:34
  I love sexy man voices. It was on my keyboard. Sexy.
• 21:37
  Can you? Yeah, you could do Australian. You could do anything on your GPS.
• 21:42
  I'm going to have to do that. I mean, on your phone when you put on your GPS.
• 21:44
  Yeah, I'm going to have to do that because I'm like, love an accent.
• 21:48
  So those are some things. And then I think you don't need to rush.
• 21:51
  I'm a firm believer that everything happens in God's time.
• 21:56
  Yes. And I have pushed in my life in the past and tried to rush things and then
• 22:01
  realized I wasn't ready for it in the first place.
• 22:03
  So then now I just kind of go with the flow. Like I've had guys that like two
• 22:07
  for two days on the apps and let's meet tomorrow and it didn't feel comfortable. So I just delayed it.
• 22:12
  You'll know when it's time. You'll know when you're ready, and you don't have to rush anything. Yeah.
• 22:17
  No, I think that the time's right.
• 22:21
  Yeah, and here's the other thing. If you're out there data collecting,
• 22:24
  as we say, data collecting for your perfect partner, dating,
• 22:27
  which is also known as data collecting, not everybody's going to be a match,
• 22:31
  but you might meet some guys that you just want to be friends with.
• 22:33
  Yeah, that's why all these check marks, all these columns you write down on
• 22:37
  your journal, they don't have to be your soulmate, but they may end up becoming
• 22:42
  your friends. Yeah, and that's the thing is, if you're ready to date,
• 22:45
  you're going to attract better quality people.
• 22:48
  And those quality people may not all be a perfect fit, but they may lead you
• 22:51
  to your person or they may just be a really good friend. No,
• 22:54
  you sound just like Donna.
• 22:56
  Turning into Donna, dating coach.
• 22:59
  I'm a scientist, so I believe if you didn't document it, it did not happen.
• 23:04
  If you don't document it, it didn't happen.
• 23:06
  Well, now let's talk about some non-negotiables. Now, these things should be
• 23:09
  on everyone's non-negotiable list, and you get to determine what works for you,
• 23:14
  but you should have something listed as part of your non-negotiable.
• 23:18
  Hygiene is non-negotiable. Hygiene is very important. One of the big things
• 23:22
  is, are they emotionally available?
• 23:24
  That's huge. Remember, we have that podcast on people that are emotionally available.
• 23:29
  And those that are emotionally mature and emotionally intelligent.
• 23:32
  So I think you need to have a section for emotional availability.
• 23:35
  That means someone that is ready to date.
• 23:38
  Now, I have dated men that were newly divorced and they were just a wreck.
• 23:44
  And if they're not ready to date, and I do honestly think if a man was really
• 23:49
  in love with his wife or if a man got cheated on, it takes them a little longer.
• 23:54
  I do think that it can take them a couple years to really be ready to date and
• 24:00
  men try to force it. They really do. They try to rush it even more than women.
• 24:04
  And if they're not emotionally available, don't mess with it.
• 24:06
  Because some men may take five or six years.
• 24:09
  Some men may heal in a year. You just don't know. But if you've dated a man
• 24:12
  three or four months out of a divorce, you're going to see, oh my God,
• 24:15
  it's kind of a train wreck.
• 24:16
  Now you can be their confidant and you can be there to help them,
• 24:20
  but you don't really want to date them until they've healed.
• 24:23
  Because otherwise you're just a free therapist. And I think a lot of men are
• 24:27
  looking for that in women. Especially when they just got out from divorce.
• 24:30
  Exactly. Exactly. Especially when they just came out of divorce.
• 24:32
  So make sure they're emotionally available.
• 24:34
  And then make sure they're emotionally mature. That means if they say they're
• 24:37
  going to do something, they do it. They show up. They follow through.
• 24:41
  They're not somebody that's a little boy that you have to hold their hand.
• 24:45
  And they're not looking for a mother.
• 24:46
  They're a man that can stand on their own two feet. That's important.
• 24:49
  Really important. You want a manly man.
• 24:52
  And I think it's coming for a circle. I think there was an age where women were
• 24:57
  complaining about toxic masculinity. And then when all the masculine men went
• 25:00
  away and they weren't dating these women that were woke and complaining about
• 25:04
  them, the women are like, where are all the men?
• 25:06
  Yeah. Don't you think this works both ways? The men should have the same list
• 25:09
  too, don't you think? Men should have the same list. Yeah.
• 25:12
  They should. Just as a sidetrack note, there was a woman that got attacked on
• 25:16
  a subway in New York and some guy grabbed her.
• 25:19
  She was a small thing, right? She was probably 125, 135 pounds, small thing.
• 25:23
  She was dressed in workout clothes. She was coming back from the gym.
• 25:28
  She had, I don't know, yoga pants and a T-shirt on. So nothing. Yeah.
• 25:33
  So this guy grabs her and there were three or four other guys and she's screaming, help, help, right?
• 25:39
  And three or four other guys beat this guy down.
• 25:42
  Like they got her away from him because she's like, I don't know him.
• 25:45
  And he just, it was a random guy. Wow. And he was going to take her home and rape her.
• 25:50
  Guaranteed. He's been followed? He might have been. Anyway, he grabs her.
• 25:54
  Because in New York, they're notorious for looking the other way. Yeah.
• 25:58
  And these three or four guys beat the crap out of this guy. They knocked him down.
• 26:02
  They got her away. And none of them are being prosecuted. The guy is.
• 26:06
  Thank goodness. They're changing it, right?
• 26:07
  So the guys that protected the woman and did the masculine thing,
• 26:11
  that were very masculine, protected the woman. We need more of that.
• 26:15
  We need more men. And the guys that protected her didn't know the woman.
• 26:19
  They just stood up for her. they were strong men
• 26:22
  they were masculine and they did the right thing and
• 26:25
  it wasn't in a great part of new york it was kind of
• 26:28
  in a rough area and i was so proud to
• 26:31
  see that because it feels like the we've come
• 26:34
  the pendulum has reversed you know men are actually standing up for women again
• 26:38
  there was no way this guy was huge there was no way she could fought him off
• 26:41
  you know unless she'd had decades of karate there was no way he was enormous
• 26:45
  and these guys that were smaller than him there's three or four of them and
• 26:49
  they and they were the guys didn't even know each other they just all stepped in.
• 26:52
  And I was like, thank goodness. And then the guy got arrested and he's going
• 26:57
  to get prosecuted. And he had raped women in the past.
• 27:01
  And so this was, they basically saved that woman. She could have ended up dead. Oh my God.
• 27:06
  So it's, we need more men. We need more people to step up when there's bad situations.
• 27:11
  We don't need men to like go and brawl for no reason, but we need men that if
• 27:16
  a woman's in need, that a man can step up and be there for.
• 27:19
  Yes, definitely. So, yes, masculinity matters.
• 27:23
  So that should be a non-negotiable for me. I would want a man that always does
• 27:26
  the right thing in the situation or at least attempts to when there's a problem like that.
• 27:31
  That's a non-negotiable for me. I
• 27:33
  don't want a man that lets a woman get kidnapped or towers in the corner.
• 27:37
  That's not a man to me. That's a little boy.
• 27:40
  Yeah. So what about honesty? It's huge. Honesty is huge. It is for me.
• 27:44
  I think it's number one in anything. Honesty and integrity-driven are important.
• 27:49
  Now, if you want an honest man and you're lying to the man about your intentions,
• 27:53
  you're not going to attract an honest man because there are women that just
• 27:56
  want to go out there and play the field.
• 27:58
  And if you tell a man that you just want to be with them and then they say they
• 28:01
  want to be with you and you're out there dating around, that's not honesty, ladies.
• 28:06
  And same for men. If you want to be an integrity-driven man and you're dating
• 28:10
  and you get to the point in your dating that you're like, I really like this
• 28:13
  person, be honest and let them know. Don't be dating around when you should
• 28:18
  be dating with one. Does that make sense? Yes.
• 28:21
  Honesty, integrity matters. And then I think open communication is crucial.
• 28:26
  I love it when someone overshares.
• 28:29
  Yes. Maybe I don't want them to overshare too much about their last relationships,
• 28:33
  but I like it when they overshare about who they are as a person and they don't hold back.
• 28:39
  Because then I feel like I connect better with them because I'm a little bit of an overshare myself.
• 28:44
  And I like to be open and honest. And communication is key.
• 28:48
  I agree. Here's the thing. I think a lot of people hold back.
• 28:50
  They hold back. So the hold back people, I think they're not ready.
• 28:54
  Because they're like insecure how to tell.
• 28:56
  Yeah, I think they hold back because they're afraid if they let the other person
• 29:00
  know who they really are that the other person won't like them. Right.
• 29:03
  But my belief is if this is the right person and I tell them who I am and they don't like me.
• 29:09
  Quickly, I tell them right away and they don't like me right away, that's okay.
• 29:14
  Because then I get to move quicker onto the next. If they do like me,
• 29:17
  then we have something we can explore.
• 29:19
  If they don't, because I'm a little bit of a, I'm not a ball buster,
• 29:22
  but I'm a little bit of, I don't know, alpha female, if you will.
• 29:25
  I'm pretty confident and I know what I want. I know who I am.
• 29:30
  I know what I'm looking for.
• 29:32
  And when people try to play games with me, I just walk And I don't look back.
• 29:36
  So if someone wants to play games, I'm not a good fit.
• 29:41
  It just doesn't work. So you got to know who you are and you got to be confident
• 29:46
  with who you are and open and honest. Yeah.
• 29:49
  Honesty is number one to me. I think financial fiscal responsibility helps, too. Yeah.
• 29:55
  So when somebody is overspending or not employed or not working towards something,
• 30:01
  I think that that can be a problem.
• 30:03
  I don't want to take on somebody's debts. I don't think someone should take on your debts, ladies.
• 30:07
  And that's the truth. I know a lot of women out there looking for men that have
• 30:10
  money because they want somebody to save them.
• 30:12
  And help them with this financial situation. Well, I do believe when you merge
• 30:17
  families or merge, yes, you own each other's debt.
• 30:21
  But try to come into the marriage debt-free.
• 30:24
  You have to be, to me anyway, my experience, you have to be financially independent
• 30:29
  to walk into a relationship.
• 30:31
  Because it's not fair for the other, don't you think? What financial independence is?
• 30:35
  Like, I don't know what your expectation, but for me, financial independence is, I live very simple.
• 30:40
  I mean, like, I had no debt. I work a little bit, just enough for me.
• 30:44
  Or I work a lot, just I need a lot, but I don't have debt.
• 30:47
  Why I think someone needs financial independence.
• 30:50
  Why? Because then no one can control them. Yeah.
• 30:54
  And a lot of women come out of divorce, and they're dependent on their ex-husbands.
• 30:59
  And if you're financially independent, all that a man can offer you is how they treat you. Yeah.
• 31:05
  And if they treat you bad, you can just walk away. If you're financially dependent
• 31:09
  on a man, it's harder to walk away.
• 31:11
  It's true. I actually had a good friend of mine, actually. She's always been a stay-at-home mom.
• 31:16
  But when she come out from divorce, she had nothing.
• 31:19
  She had to go find a job, start a new life. Yeah. But she hangs on to the next
• 31:23
  guy she sees that she thinks they could be able to take care of her right away.
• 31:27
  She needs to do it that way.
• 31:28
  Well, the problem with that is then you're dependent on someone else.
• 31:32
  And if they treat you badly, you'll stay.
• 31:35
  I know she's very, very unhappy, but she has to stay.
• 31:39
  Because she doesn't make her own money. Yeah. And if you can get to the point,
• 31:42
  ladies, and there's so many ways to make money in this world.
• 31:45
  Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. So many ways.
• 31:46
  If you can get to the point where you make your own money, and maybe you don't
• 31:49
  live a luxurious lifestyle, out, but you live at a point where if you needed
• 31:53
  to, you could walk away from an abusive relationship.
• 31:56
  That's where you have to stay. Don't let money hold you.
• 31:58
  Don't let money hold you back. And then when you're dating, it's wonderful.
• 32:03
  Because when I'm looking at a man and I'm data collecting, right,
• 32:06
  I'm looking at how he treats me and how he makes me feel.
• 32:10
  If he doesn't treat me well or make me feel good, why would I be in a relationship with him? Yeah.
• 32:15
  Because I'm happy by myself. So I need somebody that makes me feel good because
• 32:19
  I feel good by myself. If they make me feel bad, I don't want to.
• 32:23
  Yeah, that's another one. I mean, that's going backwards, right? Right.
• 32:27
  Why would I go from a happy status and a happy stage into a relationship with
• 32:32
  a man that doesn't make me feel good, that doesn't make me happy?
• 32:35
  If they change my emotional state or take away my peace, then I don't stay in
• 32:41
  a relationship with them.
• 32:42
  Now, peace can mean a lot of different things because I have peace through chaos.
• 32:46
  Yeah, I do. I have peace through chaos, meaning that I have joy,
• 32:50
  I have peace, but I get a lot of stuff done.
• 32:53
  You have 10 projects going on. I do a lot of stuff. I don't know if I have 10,
• 32:56
  but I do a lot of stuff all the time. And I'm always working,
• 32:59
  always doing stuff, always getting stuff done.
• 33:01
  And I enjoy that. That actually makes me thrive. When I don't have anything
• 33:04
  to do, which is very rare, but if I have nothing to do, I go a little bonkers
• 33:10
  and then I find something to do. But I always have something to do.
• 33:13
  And that's peace through chaos. Now, some people's idea of peace is sitting,
• 33:19
  meditating for two or three hours a day.
• 33:21
  Or playing manchong. Or playing manchong, which drives me nuts.
• 33:24
  I'm the yang to your yin. And some people, you know, they can do that.
• 33:29
  Punchong is like shut your brain. Yes, I can't shut off my brain.
• 33:34
  Actually, can't is a bad word. I am currently unable to shut off my brain,
• 33:38
  and I choose to keep my brain functioning at its level.
• 33:41
  And, you know, if you have kids, I think there's a little bit more chaos than
• 33:44
  if you're single and your kids are grown.
• 33:45
  So you're going to realize, ladies, if you're looking for a man and you have
• 33:49
  children, you may be looking for a man with children, too.
• 33:51
  Because it takes a big man to step into a role when they don't have children
• 33:56
  and you have children because it's a shift for them.
• 33:59
  Yes. They have to shift their whole peaceful, perfectly clean house into bringing
• 34:04
  children in that are going to meck it up.
• 34:06
  Or if you have pets, if you have dogs, if they don't have dogs,
• 34:09
  they're not going to like your dogs.
• 34:11
  And if you have animals, they may be like, oh, I don't like hair.
• 34:15
  I've had guys like that, too. They get a hair on them and they freak out.
• 34:19
  That's not going to be a good fit because I have chaos. I love my chaos.
• 34:23
  It's fun chaos. But it's controlled and calm, peaceful chaos.
• 34:27
  Because it's so loving, right? I have such a loving house. And that's what I enjoy.
• 34:33
  Yeah. The house is not for sure house to leave. The house is everything.
• 34:38
  Yeah. Three cats, three dogs. Oh, yes. I have a zoo.
• 34:41
  But I enjoy having fun. Yeah. And it's part of my adventurous nature,
• 34:47
  I think, to have things going on.
• 34:49
  And that's why someone has to be adventurous with me.
• 34:52
  And they also have the like to travel. That's another requirement.
• 34:55
  Travel is a requirement.
• 34:56
  Traveling is a requirement. There are some people, you take them traveling and
• 34:59
  they get so much anxiety that it's painful to travel with them.
• 35:03
  I travel with one of our friends. She's actually a very good friend of mine.
• 35:07
  She has so bad anxiety. The flight doesn't leave till 10 p.m.
• 35:12
  She has to be at the airport by 6 p.m. Oh, my gosh.
• 35:15
  Yeah, and she's not good on a traveling day. Everything else, she's a sweetheart.
• 35:20
  Yeah. Yeah. Now, I travel in style.
• 35:24
  I always travel with too much luggage. We know. Yes. I travel with too much
• 35:30
  stuff, and I'm okay with it.
• 35:31
  It only bothers sometimes my travel partners. But, you know,
• 35:34
  I usually travel with three bags because I can.
• 35:37
  Because I travel enough that I'm an executive-level premier,
• 35:41
  right? Three bags for, like, weekends?
• 35:44
  Oh, no. No. It's one bag for a weekend. If I'm going for a week, it's probably two bags.
• 35:50
  If I'm going for two weeks, it's probably three. So I like to travel.
• 35:54
  I travel with a lot of stuff and it's okay because I don't have to pay for my luggage.
• 35:58
  That's also why. And then I get to the airport an hour and a half in advance
• 36:01
  and then I go sit in the lounge and then I don't get to the gate until they start boarding.
• 36:05
  Right. And I flow like that. Right. I don't want to board early.
• 36:09
  I don't like to sit in a plane for 30 minutes before it takes off.
• 36:12
  I board right at the time it's boarding for my group, which is usually group
• 36:16
  one. And I like to board and that's my flow.
• 36:20
  Let me ask you do you really use all those three
• 36:23
  bags all the stuff that in that three bags and when
• 36:25
  you get there you still buy new stuff to do well usually
• 36:29
  i i bring bags like an extra bag i bring a bag i'll stick i'll usually travel
• 36:33
  there with two bags and i'll come back with three so i'll stick like a small
• 36:37
  bag inside the other bags and then yeah i mean one bag is for like all your
• 36:41
  beauty products your cosmetics and every time i go somewhere i kind of treat
• 36:45
  it as a spa if they have a nice tub.
• 36:48
  I'm going to be like doing my own facials. I'm going to do like extra skin care
• 36:52
  regimen. I take all my vitamins.
• 36:54
  Might take snorkel gear. I might take, depending on where I'm going,
• 36:57
  I might take that type of stuff. And then I have one bag of clothes and shoes.
• 37:02
  They're not expanded when I go. And then they're always expanded when I come back. No. Yeah.
• 37:07
  And next time I'm going to actually take more on the cruise so I don't have
• 37:09
  to bring back nine bags. I can bring back three instead of...
• 37:12
  That's what we should have done. You know, get a bag.
• 37:15
  And get a... I was going to buy a suitcase when I was there. You could fit in there.
• 37:21
  That's what I do. That's why it leaves the bigger bag empty so you could buy stuff.
• 37:26
  Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'll do next time. So next time we'll do that.
• 37:28
  Next time. Yeah. So you need to have a good traveler.
• 37:31
  Traveling partners are important, especially as we get older, ladies.
• 37:34
  Especially as we get older, ladies, because you're going to be empty nesters one day.
• 37:39
  And you're going to want to travel and explore and see life.
• 37:43
  And that's going to be important.
• 37:45
  Yeah. It's going to be so very important.
• 37:48
  The other thing is, I think it's important to have someone that works out because
• 37:52
  you want to be with them for a while.
• 37:54
  And if somebody's not healthy or into fixing their health, if they have health
• 37:58
  issues, you're not going to be with them.
• 38:00
  They're not going to last very long. And I want to live to 150.
• 38:03
  I don't know about you. No, no, I can't do that. I'm going to 150.
• 38:07
  I cannot do that. I would not do that. You currently do not believe you want
• 38:11
  to do that. But when you get to 100 and you still got your mind about you.
• 38:15
  And you're still in shape. I do. Think if you would look like our friend Renee
• 38:19
  and you're 100 years old. No old speak.
• 38:21
  I love her. No old speak. No old speak. That's your line.
• 38:24
  She's 100 years old. Let's say you're 100 years old. You look just like Renee.
• 38:28
  You have her energy and vibration. Yeah.
• 38:30
  Would you be okay with that? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So here's the thing.
• 38:34
  Our friend is 73 years old. She's proud and loud about that.
• 38:38
  She's a bodybuilder. And she's got the energy of a 20-something-year-old.
• 38:43
  I mean, she's magnetic. she's got such a good vibration she
• 38:46
  flows in life and the reality is
• 38:49
  that never happened before do you
• 38:52
  remember when we were younger if we saw 70 year
• 38:54
  olds they were like on their last leg they were all hunched
• 38:57
  over they all had osteoporosis now you still have that don't get me wrong yeah
• 39:02
  but the vibrant vitality of some of the in shape people that are still lifting
• 39:07
  weights and lifting they're doing quite well i think in this that's what you
• 39:11
  say is very important you have to be with the people who are healthy and they have this energy.
• 39:16
  I mean, you stay with people, not like they're 22, they just want to sit on
• 39:20
  the couch and play video games.
• 39:22
  Yeah, no, I expect any person that I'm with, I want to help them feel young
• 39:26
  and I want them to help me feel young. Yeah.
• 39:28
  That's the thing. If someone makes me feel old, I don't want to be with them. Yeah, no.
• 39:33
  That's the big thing. So they said after you're 50, you need to start lifting
• 39:37
  weights because your bones and all that stuff. You need to start lifting weights
• 39:40
  when you're 12, as far as I'm concerned. and you never should stop.
• 39:44
  You should start lifting weights when you're 12 and never stop.
• 39:47
  If you really want to stay strong and healthy and in shape, weightlifting is
• 39:51
  a must. Minimum of three times a week.
• 39:53
  Minimum. Yeah. Minimum. And
• 39:55
  you should lift heavy because when you lift heavy, you get stronger bones.
• 39:59
  And yes, ladies, you may get a little thicker. It may not be a toothpick and
• 40:03
  a twig, but by the time you're 50, you'll be glad you did because then you're going to stay in shape.
• 40:07
  You're not going to be sagging. You're not going to be sagging.
• 40:09
  Your metabolism is going to be up.
• 40:11
  Yeah. And you might have muscles and that's okay because what the new trendy
• 40:15
  thing has to be in shape and healthy.
• 40:17
  It's no longer to be these stick twigs that are frail by the time they're 50 or 60.
• 40:23
  They look so brittle, isn't it? They can look brittle and by the time you're
• 40:25
  70 you're going to have osteoporosis because your bones are weak.
• 40:28
  Yeah, that's true. So remember that lifting weights and lifting heavy is important.
• 40:32
  And then we had a podcast about swinging. Yeah.
• 40:36
  Yeah, we did that. And the opposite of swinging is monogamy.
• 40:40
  So are you wanting to find a partner that's monogamous and just monogamous with you?
• 40:45
  Or you want to find a partner that's more of an open relationship,
• 40:49
  swinger type person that's into you going out and exploring things and them
• 40:55
  going out and exploring things.
• 40:56
  For me, I just want one person. I don't need the mess.
• 41:00
  I'm more of a monogamous type of person, but to each their own and we're not going to judge.
• 41:04
  So that should be on your need list because you do not want to go find a man and who you are,
• 41:12
  and you like to be with multiple people and that's going to be a non-negotiable
• 41:15
  for you for the rest of your life and then you go find a man that wants monogamy
• 41:18
  that's not fair right because then you're going to end up cheating on them and
• 41:21
  hurting the poor soul and people do enough damage to each other without intentionally
• 41:26
  doing it so you need to be intentional about this list yeah be truthful Be truthful.
• 41:32
  Make this list specifically for exactly what you're looking for.
• 41:36
  Do not be playing games with someone's heart. It's cruel.
• 41:39
  Probably one of the cruelest things people can do. If you're not interested,
• 41:42
  let them know and move on. If you like the person, let them know.
• 41:46
  It's not a game at our age. No. The games are done.
• 41:49
  Yeah, no time for games. There's no time for games. If you like the person,
• 41:53
  let them know. And if they choose that they don't like you, that's okay. Walk away.
• 41:56
  There's no need to stick around with someone that doesn't mesh or align with you.
• 41:59
  No. So what do you think? Anything else we need to add to our list?
• 42:03
  I think location is important.
• 42:05
  If somebody's not within, I don't know, half hour, 45 minutes of where I live.
• 42:09
  Yeah, I know. I don't, I'm not dating.
• 42:11
  Plus, they could be a scammer if they're in Europe.
• 42:14
  No long distance. No long distance. Yeah.
• 42:16
  And food-wise, you have to like the same food. You have to like,
• 42:19
  well, food doesn't really matter.
• 42:21
  Because you don't eat. I have to have someone who could eat the way I do.
• 42:25
  You do love to eat. You're a foodie.
• 42:27
  So, but what I was going to say is that like when I got married,
• 42:31
  one of the things I did like about my ex-husband was that he helped expand my
• 42:35
  palate and introduced me into all different kinds of restaurants and places to go eat.
• 42:41
  And I expanded my palate.
• 42:43
  So they don't have to like what you like, but they have to be willing to try.
• 42:47
  Try. Yeah, because not everybody likes the same food, but at least they're adventurous
• 42:51
  enough to go out there and try.
• 42:53
  If you want to find someone, they don't have to be exactly like you,
• 42:57
  but they have to be open to being, having fun with you and adventurous with
• 43:03
  you and trying new things and open to change.
• 43:05
  And again, you may not want someone open to change.
• 43:08
  You may not want someone with a growth mindset because the growth mindset,
• 43:12
  people are always trying to do more and do better. You may want someone that's
• 43:15
  comfortable and safe. Right.
• 43:18
  And that's okay. Because if you have a comfortable, safe mindset and you find
• 43:22
  someone with a comfortable, safe mindset, it might be a math. Mm-hmm.
• 43:26
  It's just, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the 1% that has
• 43:30
  that really big growth mindset. And they're hard to find.
• 43:33
  Yeah, they also need to be blend in with your family, too, and respect your
• 43:36
  family. That's not necessary.
• 43:38
  No. I'm the big thing with families. Yes. For you, it is, but that's not necessary for me.
• 43:44
  So for me, because I don't live near family, right? My family's far,
• 43:49
  far away. I'm here all by myself.
• 43:52
  So for me, I don't need someone to mesh with family.
• 43:57
  You, your family's integral. You see your family every week.
• 44:00
  There's family everywhere. Yeah, everywhere. So they're everywhere.
• 44:04
  And then you get together with them for gatherings. You hang out with them.
• 44:07
  So they would have to be integral to your family and mesh.
• 44:11
  But for someone like me, not so much. And even when I go see my family,
• 44:14
  if they don't get along with my family, I'd be okay with it because we only see them once a year.
• 44:18
  Yeah, you just go in a hotel. Yeah, we just go stay at a hotel.
• 44:21
  See, that's not a requirement for me, but it might be for some people. For me, it is.
• 44:24
  So that's another requirement. So Diva Kat, if she was dating again,
• 44:28
  which she's never going to date again because she already found her perfect
• 44:31
  man, but she would have to find someone that went along well with her family. What about religion?
• 44:36
  Doesn't matter. So religion doesn't matter to you. What about spirituality?
• 44:39
  Same spiritual. So there's a thing that has kind of evolved over time is that
• 44:44
  some people require someone to be Catholic and then they have to find only marry
• 44:49
  a Catholic or they're Jewish and they only want to marry a Jewish person.
• 44:52
  It doesn't matter anymore. depends on the person because
• 44:55
  some people still stick to that right i want someone
• 44:58
  spiritual yeah i don't care what
• 45:01
  religion they are as long as they're not shoving
• 45:05
  it down everyone's throat that they talk to i want someone spiritual
• 45:08
  i want them to believe in god for sure yeah and i want someone that is connected
• 45:14
  because i'm very spiritual i have so much faith in me i believe that everything
• 45:20
  comes in the right way and the universe or God will, it comes at the right time.
• 45:25
  I have such a strong core belief in faith. That's why I just let things flow and I don't force it.
• 45:30
  So for me, I need someone that believes that kind of same mindset.
• 45:34
  Now, I don't quote scriptures often because I don't know scripture often.
• 45:39
  I remember some of the Bible stories and things like that, but I couldn't quote
• 45:44
  scripture like some people memorize scripture and that's okay.
• 45:47
  And they would have to be okay with that in me.
• 45:49
  It's just not me. I can quote...
• 45:52
  Programming i can quote technology i can quote
• 45:55
  financial growth and business and things
• 45:58
  like that and stop prices all right but don't ask me to quote the bible because
• 46:04
  it's not integral into what i need spiritually now for me belief is more spiritual
• 46:08
  yeah the bible and then some people you know it might be a completely different
• 46:13
  religion right right you could have a hindu married to a Muslim,
• 46:16
  you could have a Catholic married to a Jew, and they get along just fine.
• 46:21
  Because spirituality, they're balanced and they're aligned. But it is something to think about. Yeah.
• 46:26
  But some people, it's important to them, though. They have to be the same religion.
• 46:29
  It is important to some people. What about political affiliation?
• 46:32
  We don't talk politics. You don't with your partner? Or you don't want to hear?
• 46:35
  You don't talk. We don't talk politics.
• 46:37
  Ever? Ever. With your partner. So politics is important for some.
• 46:41
  And I think that I will say, if you're in a relationship with someone,
• 46:47
  it is going to be a little easier if they're both conservative or they're both liberal.
• 46:50
  Because politics has taken on a religious connotation.
• 46:54
  Now, it's the same idea. Maybe you're both moderate. Maybe one's liberal and
• 46:59
  one's conservative, but you're right around the middle.
• 47:01
  That might work. But I'm telling you, if you're far right and they're far left,
• 47:06
  I'm not seeing that come together in the middle.
• 47:08
  So just realize that political affiliation may matter. Yes.
• 47:12
  You may get into heated debates. It could end a relationship.
• 47:16
  So you may want to put political affiliation down. It may not be a must-have,
• 47:20
  but it may be a want. Yeah.
• 47:22
  Maybe put in like a small fine print. A small fine print. I would like someone
• 47:26
  that's right down the middle.
• 47:28
  Yeah. Right down the middle. Right down the middle. You're not asking much.
• 47:31
  I would ask about political affiliation because it doesn't matter a little to
• 47:35
  me, but it's not an end. I have friends that are across the spectrum.
• 47:38
  Yeah. I have far left friends. I have far right friends.
• 47:41
  I'm in the middle, but we don't talk politics.
• 47:43
  If someone has a specific political affiliation, that's fine.
• 47:47
  I lean a certain way on some issues, and I lean the other way on the other issues.
• 47:51
  So it just depends on what the issue is. You only can't stop market.
• 47:54
  I care about the stock market. I care about trading. I care about business.
• 47:59
  Yeah, that's more important to me than the political affiliation.
• 48:03
  And what policies are being implemented that will affect the stock market matter more to me as well.
• 48:09
  So those are things that you may want to get in financial literacy.
• 48:12
  Yeah, financial, I think it's much.
• 48:14
  So here's the thing. Some women don't care because they're going to be the ones
• 48:17
  taking care of the finances for the household.
• 48:19
  Whereas some men will say, I'm going to be taking care of the finances for the
• 48:23
  household. So that will matter.
• 48:25
  And some women are financially illiterate and they have to have a man that's
• 48:29
  financially, extremely financially literate to take over the finances or they won't function.
• 48:33
  Like if they don't have a strong financial man, they won't be able to survive.
• 48:37
  Some women's like that, though.
• 48:39
  A lot of people I know. So I took care of the finances.
• 48:43
  In my household, and I don't want to. I would like to have a balance or,
• 48:48
  yeah, I would like a balance.
• 48:49
  I'm okay to keep an eye on the finances and help managing them,
• 48:52
  but I would like a man that's also financially literate.
• 48:55
  I guess that's kind of what I want. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't want somebody
• 48:58
  that's just financially clueless that leaves bills piling up.
• 49:02
  I don't like that type of thing. No, no, no.
• 49:04
  No. I need to know what my bill is. I might not pay bills, but I need to know
• 49:07
  what it is. Yeah. I mean, you got to know what common goals. Yeah.
• 49:11
  Now, do you want a person that challenges you? I do. You do?
• 49:15
  I want a person that always challenges me to do better.
• 49:18
  And I want to be able to challenge a man to do better. I'm too bad.
• 49:22
  I know. You like your whatever game it was. It's much, huh?
• 49:27
  Yeah. I want somebody that we wake up in the morning and we say,
• 49:30
  how can we make this the best day ever? Okay. Yeah.
• 49:32
  I like a person that challenges me. And, you know, it matters, those types of things.
• 49:37
  Yeah. To me, it's not. I just want to wake up healthy. You want someone to support
• 49:41
  you. Yes. That's important, too.
• 49:45
  Supporting mentally, physically, financially, sexually. Don't forget about the
• 49:50
  sexually. That means physically.
• 49:51
  That's someone. Okay. so yeah someone that
• 49:54
  supports you and then what about argument style now
• 49:58
  arguments are going to happen and there are men that
• 50:01
  get aggressive and there are women that get aggressive i've seen on tiktok and
• 50:05
  stuff women hey men and the men are just trying to push the woman off and i
• 50:09
  i was beyond myself i was like that's not how you treat a partner but that's
• 50:12
  my belief system right you shouldn't be hitting someone no you should not be
• 50:16
  man or woman yeah or woman so argument style matters.
• 50:20
  And you really don't know someone. Actually, I had a friend tell me this.
• 50:24
  He might be listening to this podcast.
• 50:25
  He said, you don't know if you're in a good relationship until after your first
• 50:29
  argument. And you see how they handle the argument.
• 50:31
  Are they listening to you? Are they receptive? Or are they attacking you?
• 50:35
  Are they blaming you for the argument?
• 50:37
  Are they going after you? And not that I want you to induce an argument,
• 50:41
  but you may be dating somebody for three months and not argued yet.
• 50:44
  And when you have your first argument, how is the behavior?
• 50:47
  And that goes to emotional maturity too that shows a
• 50:50
  lot though it does yeah so how do
• 50:53
  you handle an argument and how do they handle an argument
• 50:56
  i was in a relationship with someone that would always try to push my buttons
• 50:59
  and whenever i'd bring anything up would attack me i couldn't say anything so
• 51:03
  i ended up just not arguing you're just not talking and i withdrew and the relationship
• 51:09
  ended because of it because i was just like i couldn't even bring anything up
• 51:13
  so i couldn't be my authentic,
• 51:14
  open, honest self because if we ever had a discussion, it would turn into a
• 51:18
  fight and they would be attacking me.
• 51:21
  And that's not maturity, emotional maturity either. So you have to realize that
• 51:25
  you should be able to bring up conflict.
• 51:27
  You should be able to bring up issues. If they did something you don't like,
• 51:31
  you should be able to bring it up.
• 51:32
  If you do something they don't like, they should be able to bring it up and
• 51:35
  you should be emotionally mature to handle it. This is a growth thing.
• 51:39
  You should be able to be truthful to each other. You should.
• 51:44
  Regardless of what you feel.
• 51:45
  You should. And anger happens. It happens.
• 51:49
  But it shouldn't be rage. And you shouldn't be screaming at a person.
• 51:53
  You might yell once or twice. Don't get me wrong. People get a little heated once in a while.
• 51:57
  But if you find yourself yelling at the other partner every day,
• 52:00
  you guys need to see therapy or you need to part ways.
• 52:04
  Because if you're in a marriage even and your conflict is at that level,
• 52:08
  that's not emotionally helpful for either side. Yeah.
• 52:12
  And it's going to do damage to both sides. So just remember that a marriage
• 52:16
  and even a long-term loving relationship, you should have a level of respect for each other.
• 52:22
  And respect comes through when you argue as well. Yeah, smoking is a no-no for
• 52:26
  me. Smoking? What about drinking?
• 52:29
  Drinking, occasional drinking, yes. Like social drinking, but not like you have
• 52:33
  to be drunk. No alcoholic. Yeah.
• 52:35
  Yeah. But that's a line of emotional maturity too, is can you handle your vices?
• 52:39
  Right. I don't like smokers either.
• 52:42
  No. I don't like, and this may offend people, I'm not into marijuana smokers
• 52:45
  because I'm allergic, right?
• 52:46
  So I have heart palpitations when somebody's smoking marijuana around me.
• 52:50
  I actually have to get away, which sucks when you go to the big cities now because
• 52:53
  it's open smoke everywhere. Like I went to Chicago.
• 52:56
  You could just smell it. And you walk down the street and people are puffing
• 52:59
  away. Yeah. And I was like, oh, this stinks. Don't go to Vegas.
• 53:02
  Yeah. Vegas is worse. Vegas is terrible.
• 53:05
  So, but yeah, so if somebody's a marijuana smoker or a cigarette smoker, I don't know.
• 53:11
  Oh. Plus it does brain, changes your brain too when you're on marijuana too.
• 53:14
  They've done studies on that. Yeah, so those are requirements.
• 53:18
  And then we've talked about if you could find your ideal partner today,
• 53:21
  what would they look like?
• 53:22
  I know what mine looks like. What's yours looks like? So I don't think I'm as
• 53:25
  much on looks as I used to be.
• 53:27
  I would like someone taller than me. I would like someone with bigger shoulders than mine.
• 53:31
  I would like somebody that's kind of a bodybuilder, but they don't have to be.
• 53:35
  As long as they're healthy and working out and doing the necessary things,
• 53:40
  and they don't have excuses.
• 53:42
  See, for me, a victimhood excuse type person that's always living in their excuses,
• 53:47
  I don't want that type of person because excuses are just a person's way of
• 53:51
  justification of their laziness. That's my line.
• 53:54
  If they want to justify laziness, that's not the right fit for me.
• 53:58
  So if they have a problem, great. Let's find a solution. We'll come up with
• 54:03
  a game plan and we'll fix it.
• 54:05
  If they don't want to apply the fix and they just want to live in their excuses,
• 54:09
  then it's not a good fit yeah i agree yeah
• 54:12
  and then you know there's there's the emotional side
• 54:15
  which is kind of what we talked about how true they are to who
• 54:18
  they are as a person as well as are they emotionally mature and then
• 54:21
  there's the spiritual and there's also the lifestyle what kind of lifestyle
• 54:25
  are they affluent enough for you to match so for me i want someone that has
• 54:31
  a certain level of income so that we can match now is it a requirement no but
• 54:36
  if i'm taking care of a man, they're going to have to offer something.
• 54:40
  Kind of like women. To women, if a man is financially supporting you,
• 54:43
  what are you offering in exchange for that support?
• 54:47
  Does that make sense? Yes. So if I'm taking care of a man financially,
• 54:51
  maybe they're supporting my business or helping me grow in other ways.
• 54:55
  There has to be a trade-off.
• 54:57
  So yes, I want somebody though that can travel with me.
• 55:01
  That's a big one. Yeah. And pay for themselves. And pay for themselves.
• 55:04
  Yeah yeah and take me for dinner once in a while yeah
• 55:07
  yeah i like that too i like that and then
• 55:11
  what about sexually sexually so much so this is the tricky part right so let's
• 55:16
  say you've met someone and you've been dating for a month or so and you haven't
• 55:20
  been intimate maybe you've kissed them a few times and they excite you and then
• 55:23
  sexually they don't do it for you what would you do well i would reference our
• 55:27
  podcast on toys right yeah,
• 55:30
  Because if they check every single box except for that, you're going to want to work it out.
• 55:36
  Although I do say sexually it matters too. Yeah, I think it does.
• 55:40
  You should have done what you need. Well, here's the thing, ladies.
• 55:43
  And let's get blunt. A lot of men don't want to go on hormone replacement therapy.
• 55:47
  And we have a podcast on that as well.
• 55:49
  We have a lot of podcasts out there. So a lot of men don't want to do HRT or
• 55:54
  testosterone replacement therapy, which is TRT.
• 55:57
  And they need to. It not only helps fix the little boy downstairs,
• 56:01
  but it also helps with their muscle maintenance.
• 56:04
  It helps them with their bones. It helps them with their mind.
• 56:08
  They've done studies where people that are on hormone replacement therapy,
• 56:11
  they stay mentally acute and alert for longer.
• 56:15
  You have to, once you're on that, you have to stay consistent.
• 56:18
  You're going to stay consistent on that.
• 56:20
  And I highly recommend, heck, I'm on hormone replacement therapy myself.
• 56:24
  So it's a thing that happens for people as they get older.
• 56:28
  And then there's also Viagra. If the little boy's not working.
• 56:32
  Check with your doctor at the Viagra. You do. Make sure you don't get hot of
• 56:35
  it. There is actually some natural versions.
• 56:38
  Viagra? Of Viagra that are organic. That all it does is actually increase blood flow.
• 56:44
  And it doesn't have the side effects of Viagra or whatever the other ones. I don't even remember.
• 56:48
  But there's some natural health things that you can do.
• 56:51
  And I'll have to look them up at a later time. I mean, we'll talk about him
• 56:54
  in a later podcast when we talk about erectile dysfunction, which is coming.
• 56:58
  And I do believe that there are things you can do to help.
• 57:02
  And honestly, sex, you should realize you're going to be having sex for the
• 57:07
  next 30 to 40 to 50 years of your life.
• 57:09
  If you're 50 years old, don't expect it to only last five or 10 more,
• 57:13
  guys. It's going to last for a while.
• 57:15
  So make sure you have a partner that you can be sexually happy with. That's true.
• 57:20
  There's other things you can do as well, but just make sure you mesh sexually.
• 57:25
  And, you know, here's the thing. Once you get to that level,
• 57:28
  and it may take a person two, three, four months before they have sex with someone.
• 57:31
  I don't know what your time limit is. You may even wait till you get married. I don't know.
• 57:35
  But once you get there, if you wake up in the morning, how do you feel?
• 57:39
  That's a big one for me. If you're laying next to a partner and you wake up
• 57:42
  in the morning, you smile. Yeah. Or they make you happy.
• 57:44
  Or they make you laugh. That's important. Very important. Wake up together is
• 57:48
  amazing. That's important. You have to wake up happy together.
• 57:52
  Yeah. And I think you need to be respectful and proud of your partner,
• 57:55
  someone that brings you joy and energy and gives you a good vibe.
• 58:00
  Yeah. So I wanted to go over, kind of wrap this up, just some daily affirmations.
• 58:05
  When you're starting to grow into your partnership with someone.
• 58:08
  You need to realize that and say to yourself in the mirror, I am worthy of deep, soul-aligned love.
• 58:13
  Isn't that a good one? Yeah, I like that. I attract emotional,
• 58:17
  available, loving partners that match and align with me. And I like that one too.
• 58:22
  I am ready to give and receive extraordinary love.
• 58:26
  You should write it on your mail. Yeah.
• 58:28
  I got to read, especially the receive part. Yeah. Because I've been with so
• 58:31
  many takers that I'm really looking to find a giver.
• 58:35
  Oh, that's another thing I should put on my must-have. It must be a giver. No more takers.
• 58:39
  You're done with takers. I'm so done with takers. Yeah. That's the blessing.
• 58:42
  When you get ladies if you've gone through a divorce even if it
• 58:45
  was a nasty one that's a lesson take it as a
• 58:48
  lesson that's a blessing because you look back you know
• 58:50
  like i shouldn't allow that you shouldn't allow that so my next
• 58:53
  partner i've learned my lesson yeah and now i know what i want it's okay to
• 58:58
  make mistakes as long as you learn yes and then i think you should create a
• 59:01
  vision board we should i never done one actually well we should have a vision
• 59:04
  board party you sit around and you drink well non mocktails for me but yeah
• 59:09
  you have a vision board party And you have all the things you can cut out and
• 59:12
  you can grab pieces from anywhere.
• 59:13
  I had one with our other friend, our other diva friend.
• 59:17
  And yeah, you can rewrite your vision. You can put things on there.
• 59:20
  You can visualize who you want to be, who you want your partner to be.
• 59:23
  Now, I wouldn't put a head on it unless you know exactly who you're going after.
• 59:26
  Because if you put Tom Selleck up there, although that's pretty dating me. Mine's Brad Pitt.
• 59:30
  Yeah, she's going to put it. I had to go see F1. You had to see that movie.
• 59:34
  That was the first day coming out. I saw that. She's in love with Brad Pitt. Yeah.
• 59:38
  No, she's in love with her husband first. So, yeah, whatever you want to reflect
• 59:42
  on, and then you'll attract.
• 59:44
  Now, if you want somebody, you know, that has his own jet, maybe you put that on there.
• 59:48
  If you want to have your own jet, maybe you just do that. Have your own jet,
• 59:51
  and then your partner can come and fly on your jet with you.
• 59:54
  My vision balls right now is going to be vacation, vacation, vacation.
• 59:57
  Now, one of the things that our coach said, our divorce coach on a few episodes
• 1:00:01
  ago, she said keep this list with you.
• 1:00:04
  So you might want to take a picture of it and look at it when you're in the
• 1:00:07
  supermarket. and pull out your phone and take a look at it.
• 1:00:09
  You may want to have a piece of paper or you write the list out again and then
• 1:00:13
  you're going to revise it.
• 1:00:14
  So you're going to go on dates and you're going to say, okay,
• 1:00:17
  I was data collecting on this date and I went out with this person and oh my
• 1:00:21
  gosh, he opened every car door for me. He opened the door.
• 1:00:24
  He stood up when I sat down. He was such a gentleman, very chauvrisque man.
• 1:00:28
  Maybe that goes on your required list. Sometimes you need to step away from
• 1:00:32
  a relationship as well to just kind of analyze it and see what you like and
• 1:00:36
  what you don't like. And maybe you're dating a person and they want to keep pushing for more dates.
• 1:00:40
  Maybe it feels good. Maybe it doesn't. You get to decide. You're the prize.
• 1:00:45
  I see. You're the flower. Men need women. It's true.
• 1:00:49
  That's true. Men really do need women. And in this day and age,
• 1:00:52
  women don't really need men. I don't think so. It's sad to say,
• 1:00:55
  but it's... It's sad to say.
• 1:00:56
  Now, we want men to make us feel safe. We want men to be partners with... We enjoy male company.
• 1:01:02
  We enjoy sex with men. We want a man. But the days of women needing a man,
• 1:01:08
  unless you're not financially stable, then you may need a man to take care of you financially.
• 1:01:12
  But if you're an independent, financially stable woman, you don't need a man for that.
• 1:01:17
  You want a man for how they make you feel. Right.
• 1:01:20
  Whereas a lot of men need women because we help calm their storm.
• 1:01:26
  We're more of a support role and they're more of a protector.
• 1:01:30
  Women can do fine without protection. Men don't do really well without support.
• 1:01:36
  And it's changing the dynamic of male-female relationships, but it's kind of
• 1:01:41
  empowering, too, because then when two people are together, they're there because
• 1:01:44
  they want to be, not because they have to be. Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  And that's one thing I think is beautiful in modern-day dating,
• 1:01:52
  if I will say, because in the old times, people were there because they were stuck.
• 1:01:56
  Now people are together because they enjoy each other's company,
• 1:02:00
  because they make each other feel complete.
• 1:02:02
  Yes. that one person makes the wife or the man makes the wife feel safe and
• 1:02:06
  the woman makes the man feel supportive.
• 1:02:08
  It's like an integral partnership and a role. And you see a lot more power couples
• 1:02:12
  and both people together make a stronger one than both people apart.
• 1:02:17
  And that's the goal, I think, in life. And a lot of people are looking for that now.
• 1:02:23
  Now, a lot of men just want a mom and a lot of women just want a sugar daddy.
• 1:02:27
  I'm not going to say that, but those aren't emotionally mature people.
• 1:02:29
  We're talking leveling up, ladies. We're talking raising your standards to a
• 1:02:33
  level where you can actually find a true partner.
• 1:02:37
  And a man that completes you. And men, you can find a woman that completes you.
• 1:02:41
  Wouldn't it be an amazing thing if you found a partnership where you both elevate
• 1:02:45
  together and you both grow together into your authentic,
• 1:02:48
  ideal self and you spend the rest of your life growing in ways that make you
• 1:02:54
  feel amazing together and you can't see yourself living without that person.
• 1:02:59
  Amazing. Amazing, yeah. Yeah, that's how Katana is with her husband.
• 1:03:02
  So that's, I know it's, I look at you and I know it's possible.
• 1:03:06
  Well, it happened to me, it happened to anybody.
• 1:03:09
  It happens to a lot. A lot of people, yes.
• 1:03:12
  You know, you've seen marriages, I know everyone has, where the people are fighting in restaurants.
• 1:03:17
  And they're miserable together. And they give each other dirty looks.
• 1:03:20
  Or they talk negatively about each other at a restaurant with friends.
• 1:03:23
  Or they complain constantly about the other person.
• 1:03:27
  That's not a good match. It's not a good alignment.
• 1:03:30
  But you've also seen people that have been together for 30 years that are magical
• 1:03:35
  together. Or maybe they're five years in or whatever. It doesn't matter time.
• 1:03:39
  But the magic never die. They don't die. My sister and my sister and my brother, they're together.
• 1:03:44
  The magic never goes away. They say, oh, it's the honeymoon stage.
• 1:03:47
  What if the honeymoon stage lasts for an entire marriage?
• 1:03:50
  They're still on honeymoon. Now the kid out of the house, they go away every
• 1:03:53
  weekend. Yeah, you could be 50 years with somebody and stuff.
• 1:03:55
  But you have to work at it, I would say. You do have to work at it. Yeah.
• 1:03:59
  But nonetheless, you come up with what your ideal partner is.
• 1:04:03
  You come up with who you want. and your standards and go a little higher.
• 1:04:07
  Elevate yourself to the next level if you can. I encourage you to so that you
• 1:04:12
  can find a partner that's not like the one you had last that is in the growth
• 1:04:16
  mindset with you that you attract and you'll have a much better life together
• 1:04:21
  and then live as if they're already there.
• 1:04:24
  Yeah. Live every day like your last day.
• 1:04:26
  Yes. Live every day like your last day but live as if they already exist in
• 1:04:30
  your life. Every morning wake up as if they're laying next to you and smile.
• 1:04:34
  Every day, believe that you're truly happy. And then your vibration will attract
• 1:04:38
  the right person into your life. Yes.
• 1:04:41
  And then when you have, when somebody asks you out, say yes.
• 1:04:44
  If they're a good fit and you think they might be a good, now if they're not, say no.
• 1:04:48
  Don't waste your time with the wrong ones. But maybe say yes.
• 1:04:51
  Make this the summer of yes. And then practice receiving.
• 1:04:54
  When somebody treats you well, be gracious and grateful, but allow them to.
• 1:04:59
  Yeah. So I think you have to really work on it. At least I know I have to.
• 1:05:04
  To open up to it though to be received you are the
• 1:05:07
  giver i have to work on that part yes i do and then
• 1:05:10
  i would say journal for about five minutes a day it only takes
• 1:05:12
  about five minutes and then as you find people you
• 1:05:15
  can add things that you like and things that you don't like yeah i need to go
• 1:05:21
  back in there yeah well i think that you also need to review your list every
• 1:05:26
  month at least once a month i think if you can review it daily you'll be doing
• 1:05:30
  better and then i also do like energy clearing.
• 1:05:34
  I do like the energy healer because she can clear stuck energy and kind of cut
• 1:05:38
  any cords you may have with your ex or with bad people in your life or bad family or friends.
• 1:05:43
  When you date, I think you'll see things that you like and you don't like,
• 1:05:47
  and then you'll have to decide whether those are non-negotiables or just a want and need.
• 1:05:53
  Because again, if you find somebody that meets 90% or 95% of everything you
• 1:05:57
  want, it might be the good want.
• 1:05:59
  And here's what i've realized too so i work out a lot
• 1:06:02
  and i'm getting i'm not in my perfect shape yet but i'm getting
• 1:06:05
  closer and if i find a man that's not in their perfect shape i'm
• 1:06:08
  okay with that as long as they're moving towards it
• 1:06:11
  just because i want somebody that's gonna stick around with me right you want
• 1:06:14
  somebody healthy and state be able to go high elevation together and i want
• 1:06:19
  to keep them alive too so i want i want to be with someone for a long time yeah
• 1:06:24
  that's what i'm looking for but you may not you may be looking for a fling but
• 1:06:28
  then you don't need your list That's true.
• 1:06:31
  This list is designed for people that really want a long-term relationship,
• 1:06:35
  whether you get married or not.
• 1:06:36
  Long-term relationship. It's a long-term relationship. Someone that you have
• 1:06:39
  as a partner, not as a plaything.
• 1:06:41
  Yeah, someone that you're going to grow old together. Yeah.
• 1:06:44
  No, I never grow old. I grow younger with more wisdom. I like that.
• 1:06:50
  No old speak. There's no old speak. I don't believe in growing old.
• 1:06:54
  I believe in growing younger with more wisdom. I think a lot of women now,
• 1:06:58
  they actually, especially what I see at the gym, does anything,
• 1:07:01
  they see the pictures now, they actually look much better than they were in high school.
• 1:07:05
  Yeah, it's so funny because somebody messaged me, you look like you did in high school.
• 1:07:09
  Yeah. And I don't. You look much better than high school. No,
• 1:07:12
  I was really cute in high school. I was really, really cute.
• 1:07:15
  Yeah, I have good jumps. No, my face definitely looks younger than in high school.
• 1:07:19
  Now it's not as young. And I'm okay with that. Yeah.
• 1:07:22
  But it was sweet for them to say. Yeah. But I haven't aged a lot.
• 1:07:25
  I mean, a lot of people by our age.
• 1:07:28
  Have aged. And I, you know, I
• 1:07:30
  take care of myself and I want my partner to take care of themselves too.
• 1:07:34
  Yeah. Well, I think that's about it. Deva Cat, what do you think?
