Don’t Be A Dating Hypocrite

For all the really great women out there that can’t seem to figure out why they are single – meet Steven Ward. This matchmaker is here to give women a unique perspective on dating – an inside peak into the male brain. Steven refuses to sugar coat anything and instead tells women exactly how men think and feel, so they can understand how they are perceived. This Spring, VH1 is putting his skills to the test with eight one-hour episodes of VH1’s Tough Love premiering on Sunday, March 15 at 10/9c. Steven’s brutally honest approach to matchmaking is what’s made him one of America’s most successful matchmakers. He has the guts to tell women not what they want to hear, but what they need to hear in order to find love.

I watched the show and I admit, I actually liked this reality tv program.  Ward said a few things I tell my girls, and some things I need to hear myself.  However, I think the tips Ward gave apply to everyone, not just women.  true to reality television form, a lot of editing was done and you don’t see a lot of positivity coming from the candidates on the show,

The tip that stuck out in my mind from Episode 1 was, “There is no room for hypocrisy in dating,  do not expect someone to do what you wont do.”

Ward gave this tip to one of the more senior daters on the show.  He asked her if she would date a younger man.  She replied she would not.  Ward then called her a hypocrite. “How can you expect a younger man to do something you, yourself, are not willing to do.”  Good Job Ward!

Unduly high expectations in dating can be problematic.  How can you request someone possess or do something that you do not have or possess and then expect that person to understand your situation?

You are ultimately asking a person to be everything you are not, and accept your flaws, but have none of their own!!

How can a chunky person request for all skinny partners?

How can an older dater request younger men but refuse to date older candidates?

How can a 5′2 woman request all her men be 6′2 and above?

How can a degreeless woman go resume hunting in a mate?

How can the jobless request financial security, cars, money etc from their mate.

Tomfoolery. 

We are all guilty of expecting a lot from a potential mate.  How do you reconcile wanting them to be all that you are not?
