Mid-Life and Looking for a Guy? Here's Help.

Written by Susan Dunn, MA, Midlife Transitions Coach


Are allrepparttar “good ones” married? Are men your age only interested in women 20 years younger? Is it “impossible” to meet men?

Okay, although logic never convinces anyone of anything, let’s counter some of these silly ideas.

Yes, many good ones are married, but half of them will be divorced sooner or later.

Some men are interested in women 20 years younger. It rarely works out and some men have to learn thisrepparttar 101441 hard way. You can catch one when he’s finally gotten a clue, if you’re patient. My friend Sheila did.

Is it impossible to meet men? Only if you’re determined it is.

He’s looking for you just as hard as you’re looking for him, but he’s not going to come knock at your door? I know men who’ve called long-lost loves, sometimes after 40 years. A telephone or email works fine and it can happen. If you heardrepparttar 101442 stories I hear as a coach, you’d know that anything’s possible.

I was in marketing for many years, and it occurred to me that what you need is a marketing plan. If I were marketing an apartment complex, here’s what I’d do: Interviewrepparttar 101443 owner to find out what her goals were. Check outrepparttar 101444 curb appeal. Find out whatrepparttar 101445 amenities were. Do a quick study ofrepparttar 101446 competition. Write up a marketing plan, applyingrepparttar 101447 fundamentals.

Now forrepparttar 101448 fun part – let’s apply this to you and your search for Mr. Right.

WHAT YOU WANT?

What are you looking for in a man? Be specific. Make a list. Actually write it down. When you know what you want, you attract it. Write downrepparttar 101449 traits, qualities, values, appearance and so forth.

CURB APPEAL

Inrepparttar 101450 apartment industry, “curb appeal” means whatrepparttar 101451 place looks like when you first drive up. So do an honest assessment of your curb appeal – what do they see when they look at you? Sometimes all you get is a first impression.

Do a makeover. If you need to, get a new hairstyle, get in top shape, get your nails done, and take a look at your wardrobe. Men fall in love with their eyes.

Work on your smile and your eye contact. A coach can give you tips on this. You want your inner light to shine. This means you must work on your attitude. Learn some optimism. It can be learned and you don’t need a reason. Not only will you feel better, but you’ll be more attractive to other people.

THE AMENITIES

At an apartment complex, that’s ceiling fans and hot tubs. For you, take a look at what you bring to a relationship. I’m not talking about material things, I’m talking about things that really matter. Make a list of all your good qualities. Zero in on two things that are unique to you and exceptional about you. Keep these in mind and project them.

THERE IS NO COMPETITION

Keep in mind abundance – there’s someone for everyone, andrepparttar 101452 goal is to find a good fit, in which case, it really isn’t a competition.
