Understanding Men: Connecting With His Heart Ever found yourself puzzled by the complexities of men’s behavior? You’re not alone. Many accomplished women grapple with the challenges of understanding men, navigating a maze that often feels bewildering. One moment, everything seems perfect, and the next, you’re left pondering over a sudden shift in mood or an […]
I had lunch with a friend the other day. We hadn’t seen each other in probably 3 months and before that, certainly a year. He’s successful by most standards and very efficient when it comes to running his companies. In short, he knows how to get things done. In addition, he loves his wife and […]
I know it’s confusing trying to figure out men. The truth is that we really don’t use as much of our brains when it comes to relationships like women do. We get accused of being mean, selfish and rude (well men can actually be all of these), but in reality many times it’s simply
by Bob Grant I see this problem often. How women (men too) long for a confident and powerful man who is sensitive to their feelings. Most men are good at doing one or the other and I have heard numerous stories of how frustrating that is to women because
Why wait to have Sex? I get responses from women all the time who ask me when they should have sex with a man. Mostly they want to know how many dates then need to go on before they can give themselves to a man/guy. Rather than simply giving them
About a year ago I read a fabulous book called, “Blink.” I’ve observed how often trusting your gut turns out to be true and here was a book that explained why. I went
Here’s an interesting post I noticed in doing research for my upcoming book, “How to Marry the man of your dreams.” Of course the title may change in the next 6 months. These are just some ideas of
How often do women (men too) confuse intensity with what is true. Because something FEELs good, they assume it is good. I wonder what would happen if there was some kind of law created that made a man and woman have to work together at a job for 6 months before they were married. It […]
Here it is on Christmas and I am so thankful for the relationships that I have. In fact, for many single women having a attitude of gratitude often precedes an improvement in their relationships. Many wait until their relationships improve before they are thankful and they wonder when their luck will finally turn. As the […]
So you want a relationship to die for. There isn’t anything you wouldn’t do to have the guy of your dreams come into your life and pursue you until you gave in to be his girl and later his wife. Are you certain you can do what it takes? I mean if
Why Do Men Cheat? When I went looking on the web for research I was surprised at how little information there was for women. David Zinczenko says that among other things, men were more curious and there biology influenced them in this direction more. I agree with him that
Cindy, I did look at your site cheatingways.com and liked what I saw. In addition, I appreciate the resources in your site, e-books, detective agencies, and articles. It pains me to say that a

I must admit that I have been pleasantly surprised at the popularity of “How Do I Get Him Back.” I knew there was a need but I didn’t know how great it was until now. While many women have taken advantage of my FREE 15-minute coaching session, some have not and have emailed me that […]

What Is The Eligible-Bachelor Paradox? Yes, I do agree that women are more in control of the process of selecting a mate than most would admit. However, what they fail to understand is that for those women who know how to captivate a man, even in an age when there appear to be fewer quality […]
If you have just had a relationship end, then you are most likely feeling overwhelmed (assuming you want him back) and perhaps a bit desperate.

Here’s the quote from the owner/founder of The Millionaires Club. It’ always interesting when a woman points this out. She also said this,
Every now and then a reader of “The Woman Men Adore…and Never Want to Leave,” will send me an e-mail complaining that my book suggests that women should become subservient to men. They speak of equality, and not allowing a man to ever take advantage of them, etc. They give me the impression that a […]

I’ll admit I haven’t read the article, but judging from the cover she seems to be saying all the right things. What I do wonder is
I remember what I said to myself when I first heard about internet dating. “Okay. I’ll take a look, but I’m not saying that I’m going to participate in online dating just yet. I’ve heard the success stories and the horror stories about online dating. I do not have any first-hand experience to share with […]
I’d like to ask a favor. About.com is doing its 2011 Readers Choice Awards and is taking nominations. It would mean a lot if you would take the time to nominate me for Best Dating-Related Blog and Best Dating-Related Book of 2010 (The Woman Men Adore).
What you believe has a huge impact on not only how your life turns out, but how others see you. It’s more than simply being “positive.” It has to do with
It seems I hear from countless women who tell me, “No one does that anymore.” Well, a lot of people don’t believe in monogamy and it’s getting to the point that a lot more don’t even believe in the value of getting married. It’s almost enough to make me wonder
Understanding Men Blog Here’s my first video posting. I’ve always given relationship advice that reflected what was actually helpful instead of telling my clients
Guest Post: One of the things that you have to find out about relationships on your own is that when they are working well the time flies by, but when you are having niggles it can really drag. It is during that ‘dragging time’ that doubts can
Regardless of whether you think Kim “staged” her wedding or it honestly ended, there’s something wrong with her. I don’t mean crazy, but it’s important to realize that patterns don’t lie. She’s got more money than most people even dream of and she’s very pretty and since she’s
Marriages that are passionate are the ones when each person realizes that passion is created rather than it simply happens. So often singles think that if they simply pick the right person, they’ll have a wonderful marriage.
Here’s an article I just read about the difference between being hot vs. pretty. I’ve said it so many times, but it’s just as true today –
I saw this article and was intrigued by the title. Written by researchers that have discovered the truth that men will ALWAYS cheat.
So someone sent me this link about how living together is better than marriage. Let’s be honest,
Without a doubt, Internet dating is a simple, quick, and fun way to find the best people possible. Although at first, online dating was regarded as a masquerade that led many people to debate its efficiency and predict an unfortunate future for this practice, today the phenomenon enjoys a lot of exposure and positive feedback […]
For the past five years Susan has been on a dating roller coaster. Each guy she dates has two identical qualities; they are always exciting and eventually treat her like dirt!
Many women ask me how they can get what they want without “playing games.” The idea of not directly telling a man exactly what they want (ie. “I want a relationship”), when they want to tell him, appears to be somehow disingenuous to some women. To these women, and many others, they fear that anything […]
As a therapist, I regularly counsel women who are suffering from a broken heart. They tearfully tell me how much they want to save their relationship and yet their fear often causes them to focus on getting their man back, no matter what. In many cases, they do things that actually ruin any chance of […]
I had a friend who was getting married to her long-time partner. They had lived together for a number of years and owned property together. It seemed that marriage would simply perfect what they had – make it permanent.
Contrary to popular belief, the priority on a first date should be more about not making a mistake rather than making a good impression. Face it, the very fact that a guy asks you for a date means that you have already made a good impression. Because of this, you don’t have to impress him; […]
Why doesn’t love last? If you’re like most people, you’ve probably asked yourself the above question — not just once, but several times. With about 50% of marriages ending in divorce, and pre-marital relationships failing at an even higher rate, I’m certain you’ve seen your share of failed relationships among your friends and family members […]
You’ve just had the “perfect” date… then wondered why he never asked you out again? You seemed to have such a great connection. You had fun. He seemed to have a good time as well. Yet he never called you again. What went wrong? This scenario is unfortunately common, one many women have experienced. Here […]
If there was one part of my job that I could do without, it is watching couples spiral down the path to divorce. While most couples I see don’t end up getting a divorce, there is that small percentage who are so filled with resentment that either one or in some instances both of them, […]
Why do men struggle with commitment? This question about the tendency in men to find it hard to commit seems to surface over and over again from women all around the world. If I could identify in a few simple strokes of the keyboard on a page of my site the answer to this question, […]
At least once a month, one of my clients will come into my office upset about how her date went the previous weekend. Either she feels she did something wrong or worries that the guy didn’t seem to be too interested in her.
One of the most universal needs that every woman has is to feel special. It’s not silly or childish but actually a very deep longing in the heart of every woman. Some women try and minimize this need by staying busy and productive so as not to notice the pain that comes when they realize […]
And the two reasons why you haven’t done any of the five things listed below… One of the biggest questions women have about men is “Why didn’t he call back?” We know why insensitive men don’t call back;

You’ve been dating a great guy for about nine months now and things seem to be going very well. You are attracted to him, enjoy hanging out, and can see a great future ahead.

Of all the questions I get from women around the world about men, these are the most common. “Why can’t I get a guy to notice me?” “What did I do wrong that made him not interested in being more than friends?” What usually follows is their list of everything they believe they did wrong […]
One of the great lessons of love is known as “the scarcity factor.” Plain and simple: people tend to want what they cannot have!
When a man has stopped contacting you, should you contact him or send him an email telling him that you have moved on? Here’s the quick answer… “A Closure Letter makes him think you’re needy and desperate”.In fact, it’s one of the biggest mistakes women make that women do that ruin any chance of saving their […]
In my counseling practice, I often work with clients who have a deep fear of commitment. These individuals generally say that they want to be in a loving relationship, yet they keep picking “the wrong people.” Someone like Allison who sought my help because she was in two relationships that she admitted wasn’t good for […]
Kevin apologized to Melissa after he missed an appointment. It was a simple misunderstanding, so Melissa said she wasn’t really upset, just frustrated and disappointed. But Kevin sensed there was more to it. Melissa’s smile seemed forced, and he felt there was more she wanted to say, but Melissa insisted they forget about it and […]

I’m often asked by women how they can tell if a man is good for them. Usually what they want to know is how they can make sure they don’t pick someone who is going to hurt them, again.
Many men and women know the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result) and in spite of this knowledge, they continue to date or marry the same type of person while expecting a different result.
I sell an e-book. In fact, we sell several of them. They’re for women to help educate themselves on what does and doesn’t work in regards to relationships with men.
What do men REALLY want? If you asked most women this question, the answers would be predictable. Women believe that men want: A woman that always looks perfect The woman they can’t get Someone who will never complain Yes, it’s true that if you asked men what they want, there are many who would agree […]
Many times when men pull away, women are left wondering “What happened? What went wrong? Was it something I said? Something I did?” They agonize and replay last conversations and meetings over and over. The biggest mistake women make is not understanding how men think and feel. The very things they do to try to […]

What do you say when that cute guy you’ve had your eye on calls you? You may feel nervous and excited when he calls, even if you’re an adult, but that’s okay. It’s normal to feel like that. After all, this could be the start of a new relationship and you don’t want to do […]
by Bob Grant When a guy asks you for a date the first time, he does so because he believes that you are someone he considers fortunate enough to spend an evening with. For whatever reason(s), the woman he invites has conveyed the idea that she is – for lack of a better term – […]
Whenever you hear the word “dependency,” most of us think in terms of some form of addiction or disease. It tends to imply something that should be avoided, fixed, or terminated.

Ladies, here’s the list of what men really think, want and desire in a woman and relationship.
Years ago, there was a therapist I worked with named Susan. Susan told me she went to a seminar that a friend of ours named Steve was giving. Since she thought she may want to do similar seminars in the future about marriage, she wanted to see how Steve presented his thoughts and insight. Susan […]

by Bob Grant The Needy Little Girl This woman is every man’s worst fear. This type of woman is whiny and frequently verbalizes how desperate she is to get married. What is so frightening about this type of woman is that men can’t often identify her until
I hear from women often that tell me how some of the men they date will tell them that marriage is just a piece of paper. They wonder why be so traditional and old fashion.
For years I’ve spoken to hundreds of women who wanted a relationship that always seemed to evade them. It wasn’t for a lack of effort, at least that’s not how it appeared to them. Most of them worked hard at their job, focused on being independent and dated (sometimes frequently).
Researchers found a huge decline in happiness four years into a marriage with another decline in years seven to eight. In fact, half of all divorces occur in the first seven years of marriage, which gives rise to the popular term “the seven-year itch. This is what often happens if you just leave your marriage […]
I spoke with a client recently and just looking at her….she’s very attractive, gets lots of offers from men. Yet, she can’t find that one man she wants to spend her life with. The latest guy said something that screamed in her head, “issues!”
So I’m surfing the internet and come across this. Tell me what’s your first reaction? Honestly, what did you think when you saw the guy with his hands in the air as proud as a peacock? Here’s why this is important for you, it’s not that every guy is as trashy as this one, but […]
I’ve always found it quite amazing to observe how dramatically a woman’s life changes when she has the enduring devotion of the man she wants.
I know it may seem like I’m often telling women that they don’t have to be stunningly beautiful, pencil thin and always positive. Some of my clients have slyly suggested that I’m simply being nice (like something their mother would tell them). Please listen when I say this, “Men aren’t nearly as harsh on you […]
When you first see the guy you’ve always wanted to meet, your heart starts racing. Every thought in your head starts spinning faster and faster as you wonder, “Does he even notice me?” I understand why you’re nervous.

I know the title is kind of cryptic, but hear me out, please. I’m asking because deep down in the heart of almost every man and woman they’ve asked that question…privately.
I found this article that was fascinating. It’s a study conducted over several decades regarding what makes men happy and fulfilled. I offer this to you so that you’ll have a better understanding of the man you love…or will love. Suffice it to say, that men crave the close connection of a relationship just as […]

by Bob Grant In the 16 years that I’ve been doing relationship counseling, I’ve rarely come across a female client to whom I’ve had to say, “Try harder” when it comes to relationship building. In fact, most of my female clients try so hard that they find themselves exhausted.

Maybe his eyes are on the computer or tv screen when you’re trying to connect with him and all you get are […]
Are you tired of hearing the same old advice about men? Always be positive, improve your self-esteem, and never act “needy.” It’s no wonder that so many women feel they have to be perfect to arouse a man’s passion for them. What if I told you that you could make a man adore you just […]
