How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/Expert Profile

Expertise

I've been answering questions online for over a decade & have received good ratings. I've also helped people in many other situations - in person and in other ways online. 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.

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. 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.

Education/Credentials

I am educated as a teacher and primarily work with young people, many who are already attracted to the opposite sex at a young age, but their families often are poor role-models for having a life-long relationship.

What do you like about this subject?

Many people are searching for a relationship, but many find it difficult 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 (over 700 positive feedback).

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 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.
