Last week I was sitting down with a client to create her online dating profile and we got to the section that said, "What are you doing with your life?"
The answer was Managing Director of an entire division, managing over 500 people. She asked me, "is it okay to put that there?" I said, "100%, yes!"
"But won't I scare men away?" She quickly retorted.
I replied, "I hope so! The man that is right for you will be impressed by your success, and be excited to learn more about you. The guy that is wrong for you, will be intimidated and instead of building you up and pushing you forward will compare his career to yours and feel inadequate."
You can craft an online dating profile that is a total people pleaser and you will receive more messages than everyone else. Or you can create a profile that truly depicts who you are and what you need in a partner and then receive messages from men that want you and are solid contenders for a lifelong partner.
I would suggest the latter because who has time to go on 2000 dates with men that can't handle your success and don't want you for you?

Everyone wants to know, what are the chances of falling in love? How many dates do I need to go on? How many people do I need to meet?
Well today, I am going to give you the answer. One study says if you meet 1,000 strangers you would be fall in love with either 5 or 6 people. Since most of us just want to fall in love once, this would mean, if you met 200 strangers, one of them could be the love of your life.
I am not sure if 200 is a discouraging or encouraging number, but in my humble opinion, that's not bad.
Now, imagine instead of meeting strangers, you knew definitively what you needed in a partner. If you knew that and then attempted to go on dates with people that qualify, how many people would you need to meet to fall in love?
