When I first meet with women who haven't been dating for a while, most of them use the same excuse for not getting out there! They all tell me that they have to lose five to twenty pounds before they feel they are ready to date. I am sure we all feel we could lose a little weight; we are women aren't we? Advertisers are constantly bombarding us with images of thin supermodels to get us to buy products, and it has a very bad effect on us.  I love the new Dove soap commercials that show real women and their real curves! The truth is it isn't about your extra pounds, or whether you look like Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez or Halle Berry.

There are lots of women with a few extra pounds who aren't gorgeous models who are successful in the dating/mating game. What is their secret?

Men can "smell" when you feel attractive, turned on and excited about yourself. This is how the Catch-22 principle of why it's easy to attract men when you are already involved in a relationship works. The trick is to create these feelings of high self-worth and attractiveness when you are not in a relationship; they act like a secret beacon that pulls great men in! This principle is more essential to master than finding the right places to meet men. When you are feeling great about yourself and radiating this potent chemistry, almost anyplace is the right place to meet your future husband!

If you are recently out of a relationship, or it's been a long time since you have been dating, follow this exercise to get your "man magnet" super charged:

What would it take for you to feel really attractive, sexy, desired and confident with men, so you radiate love and feeling great about yourself? Do you need to imagine someone like Brad Pitt, George Clooney or Bobby Brown romancing you? Would having a dozen men calling you and sending you flowers make you feel great? Would it take an old boyfriend or husband coming back to you and saying he made a terrible mistake to make you feel wonderful and special? Or perhaps, appearing on Oprah as the Most Eligible Woman in the US? Indulge yourself and have fun with your fantasy, close your eyes and imagine a romantic scenario that even seems over the top to you! Let yourself revel in this for 5-10 minutes so you can soak it all in!

When you are done, please write down your fantasy so you can some back to it anytime you need an ego boost to spark up your man magnet. Practice pumping yourself up and going out on the town with a friend. Notice the difference in the type of attention you attract when you are feeling this way!
