Expert Profile: TheTruth

Expertise:  Experience is a great teacher and the more people you meet, the more you learn, the more patterns you begin to recognize and the more new insights you pick up. If you're looking for a male perspective, from one who knows how to elicit responses in relationships, is a strong listener, is highly perceptive and can translate what isn't said into clear meaning, then you know where to come. If you are looking for a female perspective, 90 percent of my interviews are with women. If you pay attention, there are definite patterns in interactions between the sexes. If you are perceptive, you can almost predict with certainty what is coming next.

Experience in the area
As I love to meet new people, I date often, getting dates from face-to-face contact, online, and from friends. My best friends and the majority of my friends, period, are women, and being a former reporter, it is natural for me to be inquisitive of others, and by being an expert listener with a strong memory, I have learned much about women's feelings, needs, desires, frustrations, and what type of men to which they are attracted.

Publications
Newspaper and online reporter. Experience also includes reporting for radio and being a talk show host.

Education/Credentials
B.A. in communications/public relations. Additional coursework in speech communications. Fieldwork and library of relationship studies.

What do you like about this subject?  There is nothing more exciting than meeting new, interesting people and finding out who they are and if there is chemistry between you. The study of relationships and how people think and behave is fascinating and my passion.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Continue to learn the subtleties about human interaction, the words and actions that occur that tell stories of someone's feelings and needs. There is so much that is unspoken that determines whether a relationship will thrive or bust out. Learning those nuances and sharing them with others is highly rewarding.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  We can focus on the risk or reward in stepping out and meeting someone. In the end, I find the reward drives me forward and outweighs the chance of meeting someone who isn't the ideal match. Read your situation quickly, ask yourself if you're interested and then take a deep breath and be bold in going for gold.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  We may be slow or clueless picking up dating or relationship clues. We may also be, sadly, selfish -- both men and women. No one gender has the market cornered on that one. In the end, even the best people are out for themselves. We are, and should be, highly selective in who we associate with and date. The people we choose to be with can be the frosting on our cake or the poison in our drink.
