Gentlemen’ s Guide to Excellence

You may encounter what can be called mean women in your life.   I am using the term “mean” to refer to women, or anyone, who generally rejects or is hostile toward men or all people for no apparent reason and without provocation.  I want you to have the tools to effectively deal with that situation should it arise.

Matchmaking.  This week I want to talk about what matchmaking services are, should you use such services, and what would be their value to you given you have the Gentlemen’s Guide to Flirting book.  For those considering a career in matchmaking or relationship coaching, should you provide such services once you have mastered the book or adapted some of its techniques into your own process.

This week I want to talk about something very current - a very modern problem - and that is striking some sort of productive and healthy balance between your online or digital activities and real life.  The draw and appeal of things like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, and online gaming can be so powerful to many folks that it might affect the quality of their their overall lives.

It’s time for another morale boost.   I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is needed.  I am, like I am sure all of you are, disappointed that the COVID-19 pandemic is still dragging on and affecting so many people and the economy.   In my own life, I am seeing too many people cracking under this continued stress and pressure.  That isn’t what we do, is it? We find a way to thrive in all conditions.  But it doesn’t hurt for us to huddle up from time to time to remind ourselves of that.

Today we are going to look back at a women’s beauty rating scale invented by comedian Patrice O’Neal.  Patrice introduced this concept in response to a listener’s question on his Black Philip radio show several years ago.  We’ll knock the ugly, misogynistic parts off of Patrice's rating scale and see if it still has any value in today’s modern world.

This week I want to share several pearls of wisdom and best practices around communications and conducting yourself to your best advantage out there in the world.  Too many people go through life not realizing how vital effective communications and healthy relationships are.  Don’t let that be you.  This advice will work for you for cultivating and sustaining healthy relationships at work, in business, and with your family and friends.

This week’s episode is a bit more raw and edgy than normal.   We are going to take an honest and candid look at the awkward subject of paying for sex.   If you are sensitive or squeamish, you might want to skip this one.

Finally, the greatest moment in flirting history has arrived!  Children will be reading about this day in their history books 100 years from now.  Why?  The Gentlemen’s Guide to Flirting book is available for sale on Amazon!  

Don’t worry, this podcast won’t be a long, boring ad for the book.  There is plenty of meat on the bone this week for content, just like normal.  But I want you to know that I wrote this book for YOU!  For ladies listening in, or guys who are already all set in life for a relationship, I wrote this book for men you might know and care about who are struggling to find a great girlfriend, wife, or partner, and who might benefit from the material!  I want people to be happy in all aspects of your life, including having success meeting great women.  In this week’s episode, I want to tell you what you get with the book, what is inside.  And I want to explain why I feel this book is something special, and something that needs to be in the hands of guys who are struggling with meeting women, or dating, or finding a great match.

This episode is another in our morale boost series, which is something we are doing every few weeks to help us all get through the pandemic together in the highest-quality way possible.  It is intended for anyone out there feeling social isolation, loneliness, depression, anyone feeling anxious about the future, suffering unemployment, or worried about yourself, your family, or others.  I am going to share concepts from the book, Gentlemen’s Guide to Flirting, that I think might help.  The book, as the title suggests, is focused on meeting women, but the concepts covered in the book have MUCH broader applicability than that, especially in part 1.  Let’s dig in to this a bit because I think a lot of people might benefit from it.
