It’s a conundrum.)Īnother part of this book that really spoke to me: the chapter on being a “high-value woman” and specifically the section on femininity. ( I know, I know. I want a relationship, but not more, at this moment, than I want to do whatever I want. I really am going to do the 200-man challenge. And if you asked me right now if tomorrow I had the choice between going to the Bay of Kotor or meeting the love of my life - I swear, I’d ask if I could meet the love of my life next week (right after getting back from the Bay of Kotor.) I might just like to travel too much to settle down. Of course, I almost immediately stopped talking to anyone except my already established friends after I got home and went back to work. But I might have! I don’t think it takes much more than a few exchanges to think “Hmm, maybe there’s something here.” And after reading this book, I felt empowered to do that. I talked to a guy in the salad shop who was Canadian. I talked to a Croatian guy who owned a salad shop (FRANKLY THE BEST SALAD OF MY LIFE, BUT OK.) I talked to an American guy who was in Zagreb for a saxophone convention (really). I’d just read this book before I left for a trip to Croatia, and I started my challenge then and there. I’m sure I’m not the only writer out there who’s like, I would have to change everything. How would your life change if you set yourself the challenge of meeting two hundred guys in the next twelve months? What would you have to do differently? How would you have to spend your time differently from the way you spend it now? But I was out and about in a way I’m not now. Of course, these weren’t exactly great meeting spots, since I worked mostly with women, and I date guys.
What men want matthew hussey series#
I haven’t always been like this - before going freelance, I worked in a series of magazine offices. Except for the motivated (rather than the tired, and I guess I am both, but I’m more the latter), it is easy to just isolate behind a pair of Bose headphones and downloaded movies. The thing I remember more about this book than anything else is this, an idea introduced in sentence one of chapter one: “How many guys do you meet in an average week?” And its success depends on volume - on meeting lots and lots of people. Dating, Hussey says, is a product of actions - easily achievable actions. What I love about this book is that it doesn’t spend too much time getting into anyone’s head. But first, my Get the Guy review, because it’s amazing and everyone should know about it. I hope I’ll be cooler/smarter/fitter/more successful in a year. (Slash-ennui.) Here’s the thing: Get the Guy made me so much better at meeting people, and so much more enthusiastic about relationships in general, that I started wondering: What else could I learn? And because I like a list/challenge as much as anyone, I’ve resolved to read one self-help book a week for the rest of the year.
What men want matthew hussey windows#
I spend a lot of time looking out windows - which I generally think is a good thing, but can devolve into entirely too much relaxation. But there are, one might say, areas for improvement: I haven’t had a boyfriend for two years.
I don’t have it too bad: I like what I do, I have a solid network of friends and family, and I get to travel a lot. What he had to say was so important to me that it took me an extra hour to get there, because I kept stopping in random parking lots to take notes. Nothing - nothing - has done more to change my perspective on dating, relationships and love more than this book, which I initially listened to on Audible while driving to my family vacation in Maryland. Sounds like an exaggeration, right? It’s not. Matthew Hussey’s book “Get the Guy” changed my life.
