Do you?
Focus on the interaction, not the outcome.
Aug 4th
Whether it be the dating world, the business world, or even with friends. Focus on making the interaction awesome and not on what the outcome of the interaction will be. I promise you if the interaction is awesome the outcome will always be awesome. If you focus on the outcome then the interaction will suffer as will the result.
A woman’s touch by Christina.
Jul 6th
We have a few several writers here on IDM and we feel it’s vitally important that we have a female on staff. We’ve given Christina a blank slate to write about and we’ll be posting her articles every few weeks.
I’ve been single for a while now. While it bugs me to no end when people say “Got a man yet?” usually these people, who lack in basic grammar skills, also lack in great relationships. When I look at these people and their partners, I believe they promote the reasons I’m single. All of my girlfriends are attached to someone, yet their relationships don’t inspire me to run out and get the next available guy. I witness a lot of boredom, disrespect and unhappiness. Yet they tell me “You’re too picky!” Frankly, I don’t think they’re picky enough. I have some simple things I look for when I meet a guy, and while my standards may be high, they will make me happy, so why not wait to find someone who meets most of my requirements?
I don’t think girls are terribly hard to figure out. The biggest turn-off for me is drugs. I know a lot of people in my neck of the woods think I’m being too strict on that, but I don’t want to date someone who isn’t himself around me. So keep it legal and it’s a good start. I like a man to have an education beyond high school, that may sound pretentious, (I am no rich girl however, and I paid for my first degree with tips from my part-time job) but I think brains are sexy, and I also think goals and dreams are sexy. Guys who read regularly are an added bonus. Yes, looks are important, but what I’m attracted is different from what other girls are attracted to, I like tall, slim guys with a nice set of chompers that bathe daily. There’s a long-standing debate about chivalry between men and women, and I don’t think it’s dead. I’m very independent, but I don’t think holding a door for me takes away from that.
Obviously my list can be completely different from other girls, but we just want someone who digs us and treats us well. I want someone who is loyal and respectful to me, fun to be around, sure of himself, challenges me and makes me smile more than makes me cry. Is that too picky? I’m not sure where I’ll meet him, but in the mean time, I’m going to focus on my goals and dreams. Perhaps the next time I hear “Got a man yet?” I’ll respond with “Got a job yet?”, “Gotten rid of your guy yet?”, “On the diet yet?” and people won’t be so quick to judge me, I’m only holding out for the best!
Cailean’s POV – Monogamous? Cailean? really?
Feb 13th
Sexy People never stay single for very long. It’s really easy to get dates, the hard part comes when you have to figure out how to make a relationship last. I had a recent brush with monogamy that has left me feeling a little bit lonely, a little bit older and a little bit wondering if I’ll be an old lady with 20 cats one day. I really don’t want to live my life vicariously through soap operas with itchy eyes and hairballs on my furniture, so after I ended my two month relationship I started to evaluate myself and my ability to be in a long term, monogamous relationship. If I couldn’t make it work with Mr. Perfect then what are my chances with future prospects? I picked up the phone to call my Mom. I’m not exactly sure what I expected from that conversation but it certainly wasn’t “you are mean, rude, way too picky and destined to be alone.” So I hung up and quickly called my sister. She always has a great way of putting things into perspective and after convincing me that Mom didn’t mean it and reminding me that no matter how sad you are, Dane Cook can always make you laugh, I hung up the phone, took a deep breath in, swallowed the lump in my throat and smiled to myself. I’m single again!
Owning your world
Dec 6th
I stood in line today at a local coffee shop and watched three well dressed people bumble about. First they were trying to decide who should drive “no no, it’s ok, you can drive if you want” , “are you sure, I don’t mind if you drive” , “Jon, would you rather drive?” , “oh, I don’t care who drives.” Throughout this painful ordeal they passed the keys around and around. Following this show of submission the girl behind the counter asked “can I help who is next” – the three of them proceeded to bumble even more “you go first…” “are you sure?” “no no I insist you go first” – the girl behind the counter was growing frustrated with their babel and I wanted my coffee as I had somewhere else to be. FINALLY one of the three stepped up and ordered a coffee, the second ordered a coffee and then the third. They proceed to bumble while trying to pay the girl and then trying to figure out who’s coffee was who’s. At this point I my fuse was lit and I getting tired of this demonstration of useless dancing about. Eventually the bumbling idiots grabbed their drinks and proceeded to discuss at which table they should sit. I ordered my coffee, made small talk with the girl behind the counter, added my milk and proceeded out the door saying a quick “hi” to a friend and then off on my adventures for the day.

Seduction is a deceivingly simple concept. Its meaning is easy to understand, but its application is significantly more difficult.
I would indulge you to draw the analogy of the “buy low, sell high” concept of the stock market. Everybody can easily grasp the notion that in order to earn a profit, a stock must be sold at a higher price than its purchase price. However, to understand when a stock’s price is at its low point and is slated to increase requires various skill-sets of market knowledge, training, stock research, and a type of innate understanding of the mechanisms and market forces at play.
Seduction is a very similar concept. Anyone can understand that the meaning of seduction is to gain the interest of a woman in you in order to develop a relationship.
