Love Life With Matthew Hussey

Arguments in relationships are unavoidable. But if the guy you’re dating is more interested in winning them than solving the underlying problem together, chances are good he’s a toxic person.

Let’s not let them get away with it, ladies! Today I’m revealing 3 subtle clues that give away your date’s secret status so you can kick his sorry cheating butt to the curb.

Waiters make their tips based on good service. But regardless of what we do for a living, we all serve others in one way or another.

In other words, do you “earn your tip?” The right approach can create incredible opportunities, and we’ll explore how to do that in today’s episode.

For any woman, it’s extremely tricky to answer a guy’s question, “So…how many men have you slept with?” But what if you’re a virgin?

Oh, and by the way, we’re also going to talk about why being a virgin isn’t a B(ig) F(reaking) D(eal) to begin with. So relax already!

What happens when you hurt your man and he loses trust in you? Can you ever what you had together? My answer is yes, but it can’t happen overnight.

“I’m going to finish this work project in one hour.” “I’m going to clean out all of the clutter in my house today.” “I’m going to lose 10 pounds this week.” I hate to break it to you, but as soon as you commit yourself to a grandiose plan, you doom yourself to fail.

Well, I’ve got a plan of attack for you that will help you actually get things done…so you have the confidence you need to get even more things done! It all starts with a first step…

Nobody – woman or man – appreciates being objectified. Whether you are being judged on the size of your breasts or your bank account, it is offensive because you have so much more to offer the world than something so superficial. But what if you are the person doing the objectifying? This behavior is also dangerous for you. It pretty much guarantees that you’ll never meet the kind of men you’d actually like to attract. I explain why, and give you one simple trick that will help you connect with the real person you want most.
