This New Era
It is obvious to me since working with my new clients, that men and women have changed so much I no longer understand them.
It used to be so simple. Men wanted a career and a family and a mistress LOL. Women wanted a husband and family. The division of labor was simple. Now men and women seem to just want to have fun, sex, romance, etc. And women now want careers like men.
This has created an era of confusion. In my opinion, the world is so mixed up, when it comes to relationships, I am not sure how to help them anymore.
From my new book Dating with a Purpose . . .
Why are there so many single people who can’t find a partner? For one thing the cultural norms, when it comes to relationships, have changed since the feminist movement of the 1970's and people do not know what they are doing.
Many women want a handsome man. They want equality in a relationship. They want a career as well as marriage. They want emotional intimacy. They want men to be able to talk about their feelings. They want great sex. They want more than some men can handle.
Many men, as always, want a beautiful woman who can do it all, and with the advent of casual sex they prefer to stay single.
In light of this, many singles have opted for serial monogamy. They go from relationship to relationship hoping to hold on to the perfect relationship. When the romance fades they move on. As they change, they want their partner to change as well. Unconditional love is a lost art.
Of course, some people reading this book will be codependent and ask for too little. They have their own lessons to learn before they are ready for a relationship.
The other reason so many people are single today is because of the addiction to attraction. It is at the top of the list of what people are looking for it. Without instant, physical attraction, men and women move on. They have no idea how to choose a healthy partner and sustain a relationship. Often they spend years going from date to date looking for the perfect person.
If you are looking for a guide on how to create and sustain a healthy relationship in this modern era of “new rules,” this book is for you.
