We're not, but when I get my workshop up and running, I expect to see you in Edmonton.
The idea that 99.99% of decent men are married is shit. That's like saying that 99.99% of the women we're interested in talking to are taken. It's simply not true. There are a lot of good guys out there, but separating them from the dicks can be a very difficult thing to do, for a few reasons.
Women need to establish very firm standards as to what makes a decent man and what does not. Everyone is looking for different things out of a relationship, so she needs to know which features are important to her. Then she needs to make sure the men she's with have those qualities.
Women are expected to supplicate to men they desire. A woman who wants a decent guy has to run counter-intuitive on this and hard qualify. If she sees a pretty piece of flesh across the room, she needs to be able to walk away if he fails to meet her standards.
It's a tricky process. We're still working on it.
I agree to a point.. But I still stand by my statement.
I like the 80/20 rule. Which just says that 80% of the women are worth being involved with, but only 20% of the men. And that 20% are quite popular. They typically get the best choices when it comes to women. That's why most of them tend to be married, unless young and inexperienced, or rich, rock star, etc...
Competition in the workplace hasn't helped matters either. Both men and women have become less sure about exactly what their roles are in the whole process. It used to be so much simpler.
The dating game in todays world by comparison is an exercise in frustration, miscommunication, suspicion and discomfort. We have a saying around here, without alcohol 1/2 the relationships wouldn't occur at all. The rest are a result of economic realities, frustration, or Johnny strong arming little betty in the back seat with no protection.
Not hard to figure out why 50% of marriages end in divorce. Grass is always greener on the other side of the hill I suppose. Until you really get to know 'em and have to live with 'em daily. That tends to seperate the men from the boys. Must be that mystery method again.
It's definately a two way street. And a largely corrupted exercise.
I'd dig coming to Edmonton.
