How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/Expert Profile

Expertise

Looking for a lifelong, loving relationship? I`ve been with the same partner for 30+ years and it`s not just a coincidence. I`ve worked at it and the first part was to find the right man for me. I hope I can help you do the same. (I`ve also read a lot about the subject and know many couples - some who have made poor partner decisions and others who`ve maintained a lifelong relationship of love.) This information would be appropriate for either gender.

Experience in the area

My own marriage has worked out great, though it has taken work, I've learned a lot and continue to learn. I realize, though, that everyone is different and so is each relationship, so I enjoy observing others.

What do you like about this subject?

Many people are searching for a relationship, but so few have a clue about how to make it life-long. I believe I can help them have a happier life through understanding the nature of this important relationship. I'm sure I already have. I also have been helpful to homosexuals (gay & lesbian) since the advice seems to work pretty well in all lovin

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I will continue to observe others and read about various psychology theories pertaining to romantic relationships. I'm not too impressed with Divorce Court, but it does show how wrong people can go.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Our hormones are largely responsible for our drive to be with someone and these can now be controlled to some extent - more so as time goes by. Other body chemistry also effects our mood and desires about which scientists are learning more.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Monogamy (having one mate) may not be for everyone whether straight or gay. My advice is for those who believe that they really want a monogamous relationship with the same person for as long as possible. I accept those who don't feel this is the life for them, though I'm not prepared to advise them.
