There is only one objective. No hoops.
People will find much more success if they do the following:
Figure out who you are.People spend too much time trying to be who others want them to be. If they trick someone this way, one of two things happen; the other person figures out who you really are and bails, or you live a lie and die regretful.
Only after completing step one, can you move to step two. Figure out what you want.Once you know who you are, you can determine what you want. Only then can you effectively determine who amongst the people you encounter, meets your wants. If you ignore what you want and go after what you think you are supposed to want, somebody, likely both will be unhappy and again failure.
Step three is the really tough one.Plan on being alone and prepare yourself. It's true that there is someone for everyone. It doesn't matter what kind of freak you are, somebody is down to hang with your freaky a**. If you are honest with yourself, with the rest of the world, and look for a freak like you you have set yourself up better than others. The rub is, there is no guarantee you bump into that freak. If you accept that all you can do is pursue happiness and plan your life around being alone you won't get desperate. Notice I refrained from saying "need." When you are needy, you don't make good decisions and you negotiate from a position of weakness.
I think people ignore obvious signals out of fear of being alone. Most people I talk to can do a detailed after-failure analysis of their failed relationships. In hindsight the signals are clear. They are clear at the time too if you respect yourself enough to look critically at your significant other.
This whole mars/venus thing is a lame excuse. If people took the time to really listen and understand the other person it would be easier.
Guys, when you are getting ready to leave and you grab your thug gear and she says "is that what you're wearing?" assume nothing. You girl might care, she might not. Chances are if if she emphasized THAT, she may not like it, if she didn't she may be genuinely inquiring for the purposes of dressing similarly. The trick is, hear it, think about it, and if you aren't sure, ask her! Many women don't come right out and say it, some do, learn your lady and meet her halfway.
Ladies, you need to listen to your man but in a different way. I'm sure there are unusual guys with subtle levels but speaking for myself, and every other guy I know, we are pretty 1-dimensional. You need to not analyze so much, unless you know you have a deep man. Otherwise, when your man says "is that what you are wearing." that's it, we asked a question with no agenda. We make the same mistake you do and think you think like us, we don't. So, if you have an important feeling you are trying to convey, hit us straight with it. We are straight to each other and we will usually do most anything if asked directly and respectfully. Instead of saying is THAT what you are wearing, and expecting us to get it, tell us it's a problem in a fair way. Most guys are clueless about fashion and are lazy, we are happy to be your doll if the clothes aren't too adventurous.
