hier and more fulfilling partnerships?
Men like a challenge, and they want
an equal partner. When a woman has a
dynamic, interesting life, men want to be a
part of it. It draws them in. Most men will
be more appreciative that a woman who has
to make time for him and they tend to work
harder to become a part of that woman’s
life. When I talk about being a “challenge”
I’m not only referring to how quickly a rela-
tionship is consummated in the bedroom. A
woman who is a “challenge” doesn’t move
a man to the top of her priority list within
the first week and pick up the phone on the
first ring. She doesn’t text multiple times a
day. If she is interested in her own life, it
shows. When a woman has goals, activities,
interests and a fuller life outside of a relati-
onship, and she isn’t available all the time,
most men will respect her time and attention
much more.
Your work has been featured in
numerous magazines worldwide
and you have made appearances on
national television. How do you feel
about the widespread impact and
recognition of your books, particu-
larly in influencing discussions about
relationships?
It is fulfilling to know that I have helped
women and that I can earn a living doing
something I enjoy. With regard to public
recognition, it’s a two-edged sword. Being
in the public eye exposes you to people voi-
cing their opinions online anonymously, and
you don’t always see the best side of human
nature on the internet when they can hide
behind a fake name. However, every day I
am inspired by the many women who were
helped by my books, and who feel much
more confident and empowered after reading
them. I enjoy hearing all the success stories
from my readers.
Your books have been translated into
over thirty languages and continue to
be bestsellers worldwide. What do
you think contributes to the universal
appeal and relevance of your insights
on relationships across different
cultures and societies?
People from different countries may speak
different languages, and eat different foods.
But all human beings want love, dignity
and respect. The emails that I receive from
a woman in Europe will usually express the
same feelings, insecurities, concerns and ho-
pes as an email that I receive from a woman
in India, or Latin America. Thank goodness
for Google translate. The people who read
my books are also very diverse in age. My
audience includes men and women including
pre-teens, college aged-women, middle-aged
people, mothers, fathers, and senior citizens
who are re-entering the dating scene late in
life. I find it fascinating to see how similar
we all are particularly in romantic relations-
hips. If you’re a woman reading this and you
are struggling with something, you are not
alone.
As a bestselling author and relations-
hip expert, what advice would you
give to women who may be stru-
ggling to find their voice or assert
themselves in their relationships? Are
there any key principles or strategies
from your books that you believe are
particularly important for women to
embrace in their romantic lives?
When you begin to assert yourself, be
clear, be respectful and speak your mind. Say
what you mean and mean what you say. But
don’t say it meanly. It’s never mean to let a
man hear you speak your truth and see you
stand up for yourself. When you believe in
yourself, your partner will believe in you
more as well. He will respect you more when
you show respect for yourself. It’s important
to remember that a man should never be the
reason you are happy. He should add to your
happiness. Remind yourself daily that you
are worthy and you deserve to be happy. It’s
a mindset. Choose your dignity and peace of
mind over impressing others. Once you start
to believe in yourself, things start to change
for the better. Confidence is a superpower.
