00:00:03.024 --> 00:00:05.889
Hello and welcome to Keep Hope Alive podcast.

00:00:05.889 --> 00:00:23.027
Today I have Andrea with us, and he is an author, an app creator and CEO and, might I say, a dating coach and, with that being said, he gets to learn all about him and what he does in the world of dating.

00:00:23.027 --> 00:00:25.873
We all need this subject.

00:00:25.873 --> 00:00:28.984
Right and welcome, I'm so glad to have you on.

00:00:28.984 --> 00:00:37.731
Before we do get started, I have a question for you how many weddings have you been to in the past year?

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.985
Hi, nadine, nadine, sorry, should I say that, nadine?

00:00:42.985 --> 00:00:51.389
Yes, last year two weddings One was a client who finally got married and the other one was a relative.

00:00:51.389 --> 00:00:52.411
So yeah, it was great.

00:00:53.201 --> 00:00:54.204
That is so cool.

00:00:54.204 --> 00:00:59.116
So one of our biggest sponsors here is Life on Record.

00:00:59.116 --> 00:01:10.394
And before I go into what they do, let's pretend we got invited to go to a wedding and we're going into the ceremony site and over to the right there's something there to sign.

00:01:10.394 --> 00:01:12.040
What are we signing?

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:13.804
To let that couple know we were here.

00:01:14.927 --> 00:01:21.572
We're signing the welcome book, definitely we're giving them all our best wishes, and well, whatever you want to give them really.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.165
Yes, that's awesome.

00:01:24.165 --> 00:01:34.787
Well, instead of that book, life on Record came out and brought a vintage rotary phone that you can now pick up and leave those messages instead of the writing in the book.

00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:36.947
So I'm right next to it.

00:01:36.947 --> 00:01:46.549
They have a QR code that your guests can scan, also if they didn't want to use the phone, and they can leave their messages either before or after, even during the event.

00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:48.867
So it is awesome.

00:01:48.867 --> 00:01:54.673
You can leave messages like up to one to three minutes, five minutes, 30 minutes if you wanted to.

00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.930
But I suggest for weddings, do not stay on that phone for 30 minutes.

00:01:57.930 --> 00:01:59.667
You're going to have a line and everything.

00:01:59.667 --> 00:02:05.194
So they collect all the messages that are congratulations.

00:02:05.194 --> 00:02:15.272
It's about time you put a ring on that finger, whatever it may be, and they will burn it either on a 12-inch vinyl record or a keepsake speaker box.

00:02:15.272 --> 00:02:20.651
Now you get the phone number for one year.

00:02:20.651 --> 00:02:29.207
You got to return the phone, but this way, if it was a wedding, you could call right before their one-year anniversary and leave messages again.

00:02:29.207 --> 00:02:31.781
But this goes for any kind of event.

00:02:31.781 --> 00:02:34.306
Their plans start at $99.

00:02:34.306 --> 00:02:40.324
And to learn more about Life on Record, please visit them at wwwlifeonrecordcom.

00:02:40.324 --> 00:02:44.090
All right, so let's get started.

00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:46.212
Who is andrea at?

00:02:47.313 --> 00:02:56.330
one point as a former dj and working with vinyl, I can vouch for that has great gift to get your voice messages on vinyl.

00:02:56.330 --> 00:02:58.543
It's come back now, so it's a great.

00:02:58.543 --> 00:03:00.225
Uh, yeah, I, I'd love that.

00:03:00.507 --> 00:03:13.574
Thank you, I'm gonna try that myself, although I'm already married, like one of the first companies that started that too, and I I saw pictures I'll post on my facebook page for keep up alive.

00:03:13.574 --> 00:03:24.710
The pictures of the phones are just so nice and they're very elegant and I was like, oh, I just wish I had one here for the show that I could pick up to do the commercial all the time.

00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:31.024
So, it would be easier, wouldn't it?

00:03:31.024 --> 00:03:31.344
Yes, okay.

00:03:31.724 --> 00:03:32.606
Yeah, who am I?

00:03:32.606 --> 00:03:33.747
I know you're waiting.

00:03:33.747 --> 00:03:34.949
Who am I?

00:03:34.949 --> 00:03:48.223
I'm Andrea and I call myself a dating coach, but, as you rightly said, things have moved forward a little bit now.

00:03:48.223 --> 00:03:54.580
I've been dating coaching for around 15 years, um, researching and testing my theory of compatibility, which is now is now available as an app.

00:03:54.580 --> 00:04:08.641
Um, it's not on the google or app stores yet, or the apple store yet, um, but it is available on a web browser so you can get a link and you can get the app on a discounted rate.

00:04:08.641 --> 00:04:13.573
For the moment I'm advertising, but I shouldn't be, but anyway, you can get it.

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:14.602
You're supposed to.

00:04:15.362 --> 00:04:20.293
Yeah, okay, so you can get it now and take advantage of this offer.

00:04:20.293 --> 00:04:21.543
We call it a Valentine's launch.

00:04:21.543 --> 00:04:28.464
We technically launched a soft launch on valentine's day, um, and so the the app is evolving.

00:04:28.464 --> 00:04:36.389
Um, it's pretty much done in content, uh, but we're adding or I'm adding stuff like blogs and and help tips.

00:04:36.389 --> 00:04:41.944
There's a community on the app, um, and there's one vital question that you ask people when you're dating.

00:04:41.963 --> 00:05:09.302
So, whether, whether you're, if you're on a dating site or if you're in a bar, and someone comes over to you and they start talking to you, you just ask them this one question, and this one question will reveal enough for you to decide whether you want to carry on the conversation or you want to kind of politely say look, you know nice talking to you, but even though I fancy you, now the reality is, who you fancy is very subjective.

00:05:09.302 --> 00:05:14.533
But your foundation in relationship, your compatibility, other.

00:05:14.533 --> 00:05:17.185
You know values, morals, ethics.

00:05:17.185 --> 00:05:19.250
There's lots of things people think about.

00:05:19.250 --> 00:05:27.781
You know the height of the guy, how you know how rich they are, whether the girl's blonde or brunette or green eyes or blue eyes we've all got preferences.

00:05:27.781 --> 00:05:41.274
But the fundamental compatibility is your foundation, and your foundation for me is a little bit more deep than just the superficial swipe, swipe, look, look.

00:05:41.274 --> 00:05:43.387
It's a question and you need to.

00:05:43.387 --> 00:05:46.966
You know, I need to ask you the question and then you'll understand what I'm talking about.

00:05:49.201 --> 00:05:50.786
Well then, ask the question.

00:05:50.786 --> 00:05:53.065
I would love to hear what that question is.

00:05:53.708 --> 00:05:57.706
Okay, well, all right, if you're ready, there's a clue behind you Circus.

00:05:58.509 --> 00:05:59.612
Circus Okay.

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:07.480
Or behind me, shall I say there's a clue behind me, anyway, nad.

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.363
Or behind me, shall I say there's a clue behind me, anyway, nadine.

00:06:09.363 --> 00:06:10.024
Take a deep breath for me.

00:06:10.045 --> 00:06:10.365
Clear your mind.

00:06:10.365 --> 00:06:13.009
I don't mind, let's go for it close your eyes.

00:06:14.031 --> 00:06:14.593
I'll do it with you.

00:06:14.593 --> 00:06:16.963
Close your eyes, deep breath.

00:06:16.963 --> 00:06:19.632
All your viewers can do this with us.

00:06:19.632 --> 00:06:26.704
Nadine, imagine you're at a circus.

00:06:26.704 --> 00:06:42.980
Imagine the lights, the sounds, the smells, the fun, the laughter, the thrills and the suspense.

00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:51.637
Now imagine for a moment that you are one of the acts or performers.

00:06:55.464 --> 00:07:01.108
Which act or performer would you be, and why Can I open my eyes?

00:07:01.108 --> 00:07:02.451
Yet Can I open my eyes?

00:07:02.471 --> 00:07:03.634
Yeah you can Okay.

00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:10.184
I don't know why I see myself swinging.

00:07:10.365 --> 00:07:14.872
I don't know okay, okay, maybe swinging on a trapeze.

00:07:14.872 --> 00:07:16.360
What did you see?

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:17.182
Anyone else with you?

00:07:17.182 --> 00:07:18.024
Were you on your own?

00:07:18.024 --> 00:07:18.805
Were you up high?

00:07:18.805 --> 00:07:18.846
I?

00:07:19.988 --> 00:07:28.545
was up high and it was just me, and I feel like my legs were wrapped around the bar and I was hanging down for some reason yeah, that's correct.

00:07:28.586 --> 00:07:31.091
Okay, so you identify with a solo trapeze.

00:07:31.091 --> 00:07:34.685
Trapeze is the bar, so it's not the silks.

00:07:34.685 --> 00:07:40.923
Yeah, it's not aerial gymnastics trapeze and you're up there high, um, do you know why?

00:07:40.923 --> 00:07:42.425
The why part is quite important.

00:07:44.209 --> 00:07:56.970
Maybe I wanted to get away from everything on the ground, that I just wanted to be solo and free spirit, basically, and do my routine up there and get it over with.

00:07:56.970 --> 00:07:57.310
Maybe.

00:07:58.574 --> 00:08:00.660
Okay, that makes sense.

00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:18.005
The being free and up there and safe and all the words that come along with that are similar to how a bird feels up in a tree, um, and what it identifies is that you're quite independent, you like your freedom, you're quite self-sufficient.

00:08:18.005 --> 00:08:26.896
These, by the way, the circus question, is an analogy of the circus role in the act to real life.

00:08:28.341 --> 00:08:42.405
OK so it establishes your role in a circus, but it identifies your ideal role, your role and your partner's role in a circus, but in real life, ok.

00:08:42.405 --> 00:08:44.152
So I'll give the.

00:08:44.152 --> 00:08:47.782
The clearest analogy would be the lion tamer and the lion.

00:08:47.782 --> 00:08:53.832
They only function as a great, balanced act if they're together.

00:08:53.832 --> 00:09:00.068
The lion tamer doesn't work with a clown, the lion work with you know, still walker.

00:09:00.068 --> 00:09:15.821
So you identify your role and your role identifies your real life compatibility and it works from an unconscious selection process okay okay, so I I'm explaining the question.

00:09:16.101 --> 00:09:36.850
The first part of the question is um, it's a location and, uh, I don't know if you work with nlp, but with NLP, with suggestion, the first part is suggesting where you are and then the second part is the unconscious selection, by prompting you to imagine your role.

00:09:37.731 --> 00:09:38.033
Okay.

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:44.110
So, unconsciously, you've told me something and I can now put that to good use, especially if we're dating.

00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:48.125
Ie, you're dating and you're applying that to potential partners.

00:09:48.125 --> 00:09:56.111
Now you're going to say how the point is by identifying your actual role, which is trapeze solo.

00:09:56.111 --> 00:10:10.943
There are various traits character traits that belong to you, Abilities, traits that are positive in a in a balanced relationship and negative in an imbalanced or toxic relationship.

00:10:12.347 --> 00:10:33.682
And my app, which I I kind of refer to because I said I've told you before there are 50 plus acts in a circus and I can't remember half of them, let alone all of them, and I have to just take although I can give you some basics like the main three, because you know you are independent, you are really independent In a relationship.

00:10:33.682 --> 00:10:38.245
If you're not independent, it stifles you, you get resentful and you have to get away.

00:10:38.245 --> 00:10:41.133
Correct, Yep, Okay.

00:10:41.133 --> 00:10:44.202
So if you were with a lion tamer, I'll use the analogy.

00:10:44.202 --> 00:10:45.865
If you were with a lion tamer, I'll use the analogy.

00:10:45.865 --> 00:10:54.414
If you were the lion tamer who profusely expects their partner, the lion, to do as they're told, that's their perfect, balanced relationship.

00:10:55.255 --> 00:10:55.456
Yeah.

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.004
Kind of and I'll be gender positive here in respect of the male is the lion tamer, the female is the lion.

00:11:03.004 --> 00:11:06.181
Okay, it can be gender reversed and it can be same sex.

00:11:06.181 --> 00:11:09.029
Okay, so it can be two women, doesn't?

00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:09.532
It doesn't matter.

00:11:09.532 --> 00:11:13.143
The the dynamics is what is important, not the gender.

00:11:13.143 --> 00:11:15.528
I do work with trans.

00:11:15.528 --> 00:11:24.793
I do work with gay and lesbian clients, so they're fascinated how it works and in fact it's not gender relative, so that's good anyway.

00:11:24.793 --> 00:11:30.405
So, talking to you now, I would say you must avoid lion tamers and you must avoid lions.

00:11:30.405 --> 00:11:35.020
Lion tamers would stifle you and want to control you.

00:11:35.020 --> 00:11:36.023
They're up here.

00:11:36.023 --> 00:11:41.121
Lions wouldn't give you enough because they'd be waiting for your direction.

00:11:41.121 --> 00:11:44.712
So a lion needs direction from the lion tamer.

00:11:44.712 --> 00:11:47.481
I'm putting the lion up there and the lion down here.

00:11:47.481 --> 00:11:49.206
Okay, there's a reason for that.

00:11:49.206 --> 00:11:50.731
You're in the middle.

00:11:50.731 --> 00:11:59.407
You need a relationship where you can share the responsibility, share the dynamic, share the independence.

00:11:59.407 --> 00:12:07.296
So your partner needs to appreciate your independence yes they also need to let you shine.

00:12:08.923 --> 00:12:10.585
Yes, they also don't.

00:12:10.585 --> 00:12:12.207
They mustn't be jealous.

00:12:12.207 --> 00:12:16.234
Yes, they mustn't be.

00:12:16.234 --> 00:12:18.022
Um, not so word for it.

00:12:18.022 --> 00:12:18.442
Um, a lion tamers.

00:12:18.442 --> 00:12:19.565
Look, this is how it works with lion tamers.

00:12:19.565 --> 00:12:21.067
If they get a partner who's a lion, we're using the analogy now.

00:12:21.067 --> 00:12:22.049
Yeah, they get a partner who's a lion tamers.

00:12:22.049 --> 00:12:23.913
Look, this is how it works with lion tamers.

00:12:23.913 --> 00:12:27.144
If they get a partner who's a lion, we're using the analogy now.

00:12:27.144 --> 00:12:28.768
Yeah, they get a partner who's a lion.

00:12:28.768 --> 00:12:33.647
The lion does as they're told because they want direction, not because they've been abused.

00:12:33.647 --> 00:12:40.527
So my analogy doesn't work that a lion tamer is cracking the whip at the lion and the lion's been abused.

00:12:40.527 --> 00:12:44.192
Abuse is a no-no, that's toxic in itself.

00:12:44.714 --> 00:12:55.582
But in a correct dynamic where a person wants leadership from their partner, they want that partner to decide where they're going to take them when they go out.

00:12:55.582 --> 00:13:06.326
They want that partner to make the decision about what they're going to eat tomorrow night, because they you know, or what film to go and watch in the movies, or you know.

00:13:06.326 --> 00:13:09.090
All these things are small things.

00:13:09.090 --> 00:13:16.937
But clients have always said to me I just wish he would take control, I just wish he would make a decision for me.

00:13:16.937 --> 00:13:21.950
I don't want to make decisions in my life.

00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:30.229
And that's the lion where they specifically want the partner to take control, and that could be a male, we use that terminology.

00:13:30.229 --> 00:13:33.496
A bottom yeah, want their top to take control.

00:13:33.496 --> 00:13:35.221
That could be in the bedroom, okay.

00:13:35.482 --> 00:13:42.384
So you could apply this in many, in many guises, and we're also applying these, this formula or this framework, to businesses.

00:13:42.384 --> 00:13:59.475
Now there's a couple, couple of HR people in a company that they're employing this with interview technique, so they use my question to identify management and other roles that people are applying for Gotcha, you know if they're able to control these roles, because it takes something.

00:13:59.475 --> 00:14:04.705
If you're a lion tamer, you have charisma, you have confidence, you have style, you have communication skills.

00:14:04.705 --> 00:14:05.107
You have everything.

00:14:05.107 --> 00:14:07.139
A lion tamer will have charisma, you have confidence, you have style, you have communication skills.

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:08.883
You have everything the lion will do.

00:14:08.883 --> 00:14:14.480
Yeah, I've never seen a lion tamer walk into the ring and sheepishly turn to the audience and go.

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.543
I'm a bit scared.

00:14:15.543 --> 00:14:17.926
They control the floor.

00:14:18.626 --> 00:14:31.143
Yeah, yes yes but put a lion tamer with you and his insecurity will come out, his jealousy will come out, toxicity 100%.

00:14:31.143 --> 00:14:34.605
And you've probably, like a lot of my clients, had that relationship before.

00:14:35.501 --> 00:14:42.390
Oh yeah, several times and toxic, and it's only that because it's toxic for you and it's toxic for them.

00:14:42.390 --> 00:14:48.226
Unfortunately, you can't control men or women that are abusive and are narcissists.

00:14:48.226 --> 00:14:59.952
By the way, the lion tamer is probably the biggest narcissist of the circus, so identify narcissists at the get-go, okay.

00:14:59.952 --> 00:15:07.760
So if you're on a dating site and you know what you are, you're a trapeze solo and you know.

00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:12.373
On my app it actually is quite easy to use.

00:15:12.373 --> 00:15:21.570
Once you know your answer, you go into the app and when you get into the app, if I can find it, it will show you.

00:15:21.570 --> 00:15:27.130
I think I've sent it to you, but basically you're able to put in your choice.

00:15:27.130 --> 00:15:47.336
See, that's the logo, the circus question, okay, and you're able to then go tap into a form which is like a… said.

00:15:47.336 --> 00:15:54.226
You find your trapeze solo, which is there.

00:15:54.246 --> 00:16:02.546
We go submit and trapeze solo comes up qualities, traits, character qualities I don't know if you can see that and it lists everything.

00:16:02.546 --> 00:16:04.431
Now that's in a balance relationship.

00:16:04.431 --> 00:16:10.076
Underneath that you've got negative traits and character qualities in a negative relationship.

00:16:10.076 --> 00:16:17.370
So that shows you your negative traits that become amplified when you're in the wrong dynamic.

00:16:17.370 --> 00:16:19.407
So that's what we need to avoid.

00:16:19.407 --> 00:16:27.028
But what I'm demonstrating in the app is showing you that one question can unlock all that about you.

00:16:27.028 --> 00:16:29.365
No, data protection.

00:16:29.365 --> 00:16:40.912
I've got a secret into unlocking your compatibility, because what I'm able to do is learn about myself.

00:16:41.712 --> 00:16:42.573
So I'm a ringmaster.

00:16:42.573 --> 00:16:44.176
Okay, you were curious.

00:16:44.176 --> 00:16:45.745
Yeah, I'm a ringmaster.

00:16:45.745 --> 00:16:46.751
Okay, I, you were curious.

00:16:46.751 --> 00:16:56.013
Yeah, I'm a ringmaster, and my traits are communication, diplomacy, encouraging acts, my partner, people around me.

00:16:56.013 --> 00:16:58.361
I'm a coach to be the best they can be.

00:16:58.361 --> 00:17:00.888
Yeah, those are my major traits.

00:17:00.888 --> 00:17:02.471
There's always three or four major traits.

00:17:02.471 --> 00:17:08.393
Like I said about the lion tamer being charismatic, you know, a good communicator, diplomat, that's what?

00:17:08.393 --> 00:17:11.200
Um, they're quite narcissistic.

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.645
That they love their self-image, that's a hundred percent.

00:17:13.645 --> 00:17:21.259
You very rarely see a fat lion tamer and I know circuses aren't as popular now, but they still are around, especially in the movies.

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:25.491
So, um, you very rarely see a fat, out out-of-shape lion tamer.

00:17:25.491 --> 00:17:29.409
They're usually a strapping fine example of a man or a woman.

00:17:29.409 --> 00:17:30.652
Okay, yeah.

00:17:30.652 --> 00:17:38.268
So you see that in the app and then you read love language and yours is quality time.

00:17:39.381 --> 00:17:40.645
Oh yeah, definitely is.

00:17:41.560 --> 00:17:42.202
Of the five.

00:17:42.202 --> 00:17:45.372
The primary love language that you possess is quality time.

00:17:45.372 --> 00:17:51.846
I didn't have to go through Gary Chapman's test there, I just found that from my analogy.

00:17:51.846 --> 00:17:56.789
Okay, and also your attachment style is secure okay.

00:17:56.789 --> 00:17:57.813
Have you done that?

00:17:57.813 --> 00:17:59.025
Have you done the attachment styles?

00:18:00.040 --> 00:18:01.266
No, I haven't done that yet.

00:18:01.887 --> 00:18:05.230
Okay, so your attachment style and you'll be able to check this out actually.

00:18:05.230 --> 00:18:13.743
So your attachment style is secure, but in a yes, in a dysfunctional relationship, in other words, an imbalanced relationship.

00:18:13.743 --> 00:18:14.707
That doesn't work for you.

00:18:14.707 --> 00:18:15.789
It's avoidant.

00:18:15.789 --> 00:18:19.508
So when it's not working out, you want to run away.

00:18:19.508 --> 00:18:22.365
Yes, you're not committing, correct?

00:18:23.249 --> 00:18:23.449
Yes.

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.337
So I was able to tell you all of that and you haven't read the app, because when you read it you'll probably agree more and I'm confident.

00:18:31.337 --> 00:18:32.721
That's why I give a money back guarantee.

00:18:32.721 --> 00:18:41.388
I give a seven day money back guarantee of a 750 app, one-time access, as in for life.

00:18:41.388 --> 00:18:52.525
So if I can show you that, then you take this app and you go okay, I'm on whichever let's call the dating sites.

00:18:52.525 --> 00:18:54.750
Okay, you go on the dating sites.

00:18:54.750 --> 00:18:57.082
You're scrolling through someone's match with you.

00:18:57.082 --> 00:18:58.305
You think, whoa, he's nice.

00:18:58.305 --> 00:19:00.409
Let me ask him a question.

00:19:00.409 --> 00:19:02.933
My opener Hi.

00:19:02.933 --> 00:19:05.028
I'm really curious to know your answer.

00:19:05.028 --> 00:19:12.169
You'll know your answer to this interesting question I heard the other day that's not an interview.

00:19:12.169 --> 00:19:15.701
Yeah, imagine you're at a circus script.

00:19:15.701 --> 00:19:17.846
It exactly as it is on the app.

00:19:17.846 --> 00:19:20.932
As I asked you, you'll get a reply.

00:19:20.932 --> 00:19:28.529
From that reply you can go into the a to Z on the app, type in or just tap in what they've answered.

00:19:28.529 --> 00:19:37.269
Then you can actually analyze them and see if you are a match or not.

00:19:37.269 --> 00:19:38.972
Do you get me?

00:19:39.933 --> 00:19:41.355
Yes, I do, I do.

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:50.771
But there's something else on the app that actually makes it much easier and that's the compatibility system of Circology.

00:19:50.771 --> 00:19:57.728
I've named the system Circology, circus, circology, to identify your match in a numerical sense.

00:19:57.728 --> 00:20:06.669
Okay, people, when I coach people, it was easy for them to come back to me as emails or in sessions and say look, I've met a clown.

00:20:06.669 --> 00:20:07.431
What does that mean?

00:20:07.431 --> 00:20:09.153
I say a clown?

00:20:09.153 --> 00:20:11.226
Oh gosh, well, that means blah, blah, blah.

00:20:11.226 --> 00:20:45.315
So you kind of need me, but with the app, all you need is access a little bit further on, because the first part of the app is free if you want to, but the second part, which is the compatibility part, the psychology part, which is the compatibility part, the psychology part is where it becomes numerical and the numerical part is identifying that yours is, your act is a number four, a lion tamer is a nine a lion is a one, so they're the extreme ends of the polarity spectrum that I've identified.

00:20:45.375 --> 00:20:46.736
Yes, yeah.

00:20:47.580 --> 00:20:52.792
So, polarity being the compatibility spectrum.

00:20:52.792 --> 00:20:58.353
So if you add the 9 and the 1 together lion, tamer and lion you get 10.

00:20:58.353 --> 00:21:04.111
If you take a 4 and put that with a 9, that's 13,.

00:21:04.111 --> 00:21:06.707
Okay, that's way over a 10.

00:21:06.707 --> 00:21:08.605
That's off the scale.

00:21:08.605 --> 00:21:19.845
In fact, that's 13, which makes it impossible Sorry, it makes it wrong for you to be together, because it identifies that you're over a 10,.

00:21:19.845 --> 00:21:22.289
Okay, do you get me?

00:21:23.031 --> 00:21:23.593
Yes, I do.

00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.690
So the idea is find the perfect 10.

00:21:27.690 --> 00:21:34.874
Now you need somebody who's a ringmaster, who's a 7 would still be okay for you.

00:21:34.874 --> 00:21:37.388
Just over a 10 or just under a 10 is fine.

00:21:37.388 --> 00:21:41.750
So a 7 and a 4, 11.

00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:49.247
But whenever you go vastly over a 10 or vastly below a 10, bear with me one moment.

00:21:49.247 --> 00:21:56.041
I just need to get rid of my daughter oh, it's all right, let's see guys.

00:21:56.482 --> 00:21:58.124
Hmm, I want to hit that 10.

00:21:58.124 --> 00:22:04.349
Yeah sorry, no, it's right, I get to talk to my listeners.

00:22:04.410 --> 00:22:11.256
It's half term here in the UK and, yeah, I'm looking after the children.

00:22:11.256 --> 00:22:12.336
My wife's also busy.

00:22:12.336 --> 00:22:18.092
So she wandered in because there's no lock on the door on the inside, because the kids can lock themselves in.

00:22:18.092 --> 00:22:20.026
So, yeah, so she wandered in.

00:22:20.026 --> 00:22:20.848
I didn't realize.

00:22:20.848 --> 00:22:23.548
Anyway, she threw me a little bit there.

00:22:23.548 --> 00:22:25.667
But anyway, what we're looking for is a perfect 10.

00:22:25.667 --> 00:22:30.051
So by using the numbering system, you're able to just go into the templates.

00:22:30.051 --> 00:22:35.332
Look, for example, at Clown, who is an 8, 8.5.

00:22:36.641 --> 00:22:39.508
And you can say immediately 8.5 and 4,.

00:22:39.508 --> 00:22:41.251
That's way over a 10.

00:22:41.251 --> 00:22:43.365
I'm not going to visit that one.

00:22:43.365 --> 00:22:53.374
You can read about them and you will identify traits that aren't compatible with yours but the number makes it fast track.

00:22:54.742 --> 00:23:05.645
Everyone wants it fast these days, I'm afraid, which is why we numbered, so if you're using the numbering system, you can immediately kind of press the button and go yeah, I kind of this.

00:23:05.645 --> 00:23:27.933
This has got some possibility, so I will explore it, because my theory is based on two elements of compatibility the power dynamic and masculine and feminine essence, and both those elements come to the fore using the first circus question you can identify.

00:23:27.933 --> 00:23:32.209
The power dynamic is who actually is leading or sharing the relationship?

00:23:32.209 --> 00:23:35.884
Now, you're a sharer, I'm a leader.

00:23:35.884 --> 00:23:41.559
I like to be in a relationship where I control the dynamic and I make decisions.

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:50.212
But I'm not a nine, I'm a seven, so I'm closer to the middle, which means that I still share with my partner.

00:23:50.212 --> 00:23:59.532
My partner's a four, by the way, she's a contortionist and trapeze solo.

00:23:59.532 --> 00:24:01.122
So you share some common traits.

00:24:01.142 --> 00:24:19.146
By the way, when people pick two choices and I have that quite often three-quarters more with men than with women In other words, three women will choose one act and one man will choose one act, so it's the other way around with the twos.

00:24:19.146 --> 00:24:29.982
Men normally will not make their mind up in relationship and compatibility till later on in life.

00:24:29.982 --> 00:24:30.624
In other words.

00:24:30.624 --> 00:24:42.969
What happens is, men are kind of 30 years old, they're still not sure what they want with their lives, and they usually, if you ask them to choose now, they'll probably choose two choices, and that's it, that first choice.

00:24:42.969 --> 00:24:49.432
First choice is where they are, and the second choice is where they're going, or where they were and where they are.

00:24:49.432 --> 00:25:01.008
It's up to you then to kind of use the app to identify where they are in their truth, whether they are actually, you know, maybe they're a trapeze flyer or catcher.

00:25:01.008 --> 00:25:10.641
If they're a catcher, that's ideal for you, because that's for five and a half Again, that's five.

00:25:10.641 --> 00:25:14.713
And're a catcher, that's ideal for you, because that's for that's for five and a half again that's, but that's pretty good, um, because a catcher will give you the balance that you require.

00:25:14.713 --> 00:25:23.854
And most of the balanced acts in the circus are in the middle the juggler, the stilt walkers, the gymnasts, the acrobats, the contortionist, you know the.

00:25:23.854 --> 00:25:27.039
The acts that rely on balance and poise are in the middle.

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:53.088
The ones that are extreme danger are at one end lion tamer and control, the clown and those that rely on service the ticket sellers, the popcorn sellers, the production crew, the audience, the lion, the elephants, the monkeys, all of those that rely on direction and being controlled a little bit, are at the other end.

00:25:53.088 --> 00:25:57.566
So that's your polarities and that's where your power dynamic is.

00:25:58.248 --> 00:26:10.769
Your masculine, feminine essence is interesting because what I've noted is, at the extreme end, lion tamers are particularly masculine characters.

00:26:10.769 --> 00:26:21.030
They're what I call the commando man, the rambos, the ones that want to get their truck and go, you know smashing it up.

00:26:21.030 --> 00:26:23.769
They like their football and they like their Budweiser's.

00:26:23.769 --> 00:26:26.189
And don't interrupt with me, woman, I'm watching the game.

00:26:26.189 --> 00:26:28.468
That kind of guy you get me.

00:26:28.468 --> 00:26:43.508
And the other end of the spectrum is the kind and I'm going to use the guys here, but I'll use the girls in a minute the other end of the spectrum is the guy that kind of is into his creative side maybe is quite effeminate.

00:26:43.508 --> 00:26:48.233
Is not your rambo, is not your triathlon iron man?

00:26:48.233 --> 00:26:50.162
Okay, your iron man.

00:26:50.162 --> 00:26:53.933
The other end, yeah yeah they're the go-getters.

00:26:54.536 --> 00:26:59.906
They're saying these, the receptive type that does a lot of reading and maybe does something, and they're all fine.

00:26:59.906 --> 00:27:14.575
But you need a partner that compliments you, and when I hear the phrase, I need a partner that compliments me or completes me, and recently I've heard a lot of this.

00:27:14.575 --> 00:27:16.443
Well, that shouldn't happen.

00:27:16.443 --> 00:27:17.907
You shouldn't need someone to complete you.

00:27:17.907 --> 00:27:25.711
Well, actually, you do, some people don't, and some people do, and size doesn't fit all.

00:27:25.711 --> 00:27:27.253
Which is why the circus question.

00:27:27.253 --> 00:27:31.130
I desire devise the circus question because I've been in your shoes.

00:27:31.170 --> 00:28:03.829
I've been in most people's shoes two marriages, two engagements, four failures yeah seems like a trend these days well, yeah, when I, when I decided to date again after breaking up from a 13 year relationship, I was 47 and I couldn't go to clubs or bars and not quite fit in that easily without lying about my age, because what are you doing in a bar as 20 year olds or a club and um?

00:28:03.829 --> 00:28:06.953
So I found that I was online dating.

00:28:06.953 --> 00:28:20.019
And online dating was very alien to me because I've been in a 13 year relationship and there I was for three solid years dating online and of course, your tinders and your okay cupids and your plenty of fish and your hinges and whatever.

00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:25.992
So I did the whole lot but while I was that, I couldn't identify who was right for me.

00:28:25.992 --> 00:28:40.534
I could identify who I fancied, I could identify who I could have fun with, but I couldn't identify who I wanted to settle down with long term just from looking at their profile and you know what?

00:28:40.534 --> 00:28:42.325
I was fortunate, I got quite a few likes.

00:28:42.325 --> 00:28:53.227
Like I said, I was a professional portrait photographer at one point and I had some great photos and that makes a difference and I advise my clients to take the best possible pictures and write a good bio.

00:28:53.227 --> 00:29:03.130
So I got some interest, but not all that interest was quite what I wanted, because after I started talking to them I was thinking we're not compatible.

00:29:04.121 --> 00:29:11.067
So I devised the circus question and the circus question helped me filter people.

00:29:11.067 --> 00:29:14.653
It wasn't in exactly the state that it's in now.

00:29:14.653 --> 00:29:19.790
It was a little bit more, a little bit less elaborate, although it's simple.

00:29:19.790 --> 00:29:22.422
It was what would you be in a circus?

00:29:22.422 --> 00:29:27.022
And that just gave me a conscious reaction and normally it would be.

00:29:27.022 --> 00:29:28.950
Well, I don't like heights, so I'll be this.

00:29:28.950 --> 00:29:36.028
And then I changed it because it didn't work, just getting a what would you be in a circus?

00:29:36.028 --> 00:29:39.910
People think of what they can do, not what they would imagine they would be.

00:29:40.391 --> 00:29:40.811
Yeah.

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:43.990
Imagination that reveals your truth.

00:29:43.990 --> 00:29:57.542
And once I changed it, I was able to then tell people listen, you're a lovely lady, or you're a lovely girl, um, but we're not compatible.

00:29:57.542 --> 00:29:59.988
And I'd get the reaction well, how?

00:29:59.988 --> 00:30:01.520
You don't know me, you don't know me.

00:30:01.520 --> 00:30:02.164
How would you know that?

00:30:02.164 --> 00:30:03.795
And I said well, one, I've read your profile.

00:30:04.336 --> 00:30:14.682
Two, I know from your answer to my question that you are this, this and this and this and this and this is what you need, not what you want, but this is what you need.

00:30:14.682 --> 00:30:19.000
Actually, you know, you're right, I do need that.

00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:26.348
And I would say to them this is what you don't need, which is more important, because what you avoid is the red flags.

00:30:26.348 --> 00:30:29.769
So the red flags, when we're dating someone, we always avoid the red flags because we were dating someone.

00:30:29.769 --> 00:30:43.566
We always avoid the red flags because we think, oh, I like her, I like him or I like her, um, and you think, well, I'll make them the way I want them to be, they like me, so she'll come around to my way of thinking.

00:30:43.566 --> 00:30:49.663
No chance wow especially no chance.

00:30:50.124 --> 00:30:57.121
So you're better off cutting your ties there and then and saying, look, it was lovely knowing you, but we're not compatible.

00:30:57.121 --> 00:31:04.564
Or we are compatible and I'd like to get to know you, which is which is why we use the circus question as a filter.

00:31:04.564 --> 00:31:07.358
And if we use it right at the beginning, there's no commitment.

00:31:07.358 --> 00:31:10.125
You're not ghosting anybody.

00:31:10.125 --> 00:31:11.715
You know you're not.

00:31:11.715 --> 00:31:15.075
You know you're not ghosting anyone by saying, right, yeah, let's get to know each other.

00:31:15.075 --> 00:31:15.798
Then you disappear.

00:31:15.798 --> 00:31:18.170
You just tell them straight look, we're not compatible.

00:31:18.170 --> 00:31:23.845
This is the reason, especially if you're a dating coach yeah I'm gonna explain why we're not compatible.

00:31:24.487 --> 00:31:36.146
And I ended up coaching people because, although I was on t looking for a partner, I was getting far more people that I weren't compatible with than I was.

00:31:36.146 --> 00:31:52.201
And I found myself in a position where and I love psychology and I love the whole dynamic of understanding people and I'd say to them look, I don't mind helping you, there's my inbox, go off and do this, ask the question, come back in my inbox.

00:31:52.201 --> 00:32:01.263
And I had hundreds upon hundreds of women obviously women coming back to me and saying, andrea, I want you to help me here.

00:32:01.263 --> 00:32:03.402
I've met this guy.

00:32:03.402 --> 00:32:04.444
He says he's an audience.

00:32:04.444 --> 00:32:07.218
He doesn't know what he'd be, he just wants to be in the audience.

00:32:07.218 --> 00:32:12.805
And I'd say, okay, and I explained what that meant and they'd be like but how does it work?

00:32:12.805 --> 00:32:14.227
How does it work?

00:32:14.227 --> 00:32:15.127
How is it possible?

00:32:15.127 --> 00:32:25.465
There's over 50 choices now and the app has got the odd new one coming on every now and again.

00:32:25.465 --> 00:32:27.770
But I would get people saying what's audience?

00:32:27.770 --> 00:32:29.786
And I'd say, okay, audience is passive, supportive.

00:32:29.786 --> 00:32:32.781
You're there and you're supporting your partner who's up there.

00:32:32.781 --> 00:32:34.647
You're letting them shine.

00:32:35.028 --> 00:32:43.625
Comedians, especially famous comedians, often have partners that just want to be unknown.

00:32:43.625 --> 00:32:47.678
Yeah, I just want to be your support network.

00:32:47.678 --> 00:32:54.843
I want to be the woman that you come home to and maybe you cry, or the dishes are done and the cooking's done and the kids are in bed, or whatever it is.

00:32:54.843 --> 00:32:56.421
I will support you.

00:32:56.421 --> 00:32:59.622
It doesn't mean you're not a valuable part of my dynamic.

00:32:59.622 --> 00:33:00.925
You are very valuable.

00:33:00.925 --> 00:33:05.223
But the comedian wants to be the star, the comedian being the clown.

00:33:05.263 --> 00:33:10.722
Yeah, yeah, in the circle of the clown, but the clown wears a mask, by the way.

00:33:10.722 --> 00:33:11.846
This is the thing with the clown.

00:33:11.846 --> 00:33:13.519
The clown is a controller.

00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:20.182
That's why they're an eight and a half control, emotional control.

00:33:20.182 --> 00:33:26.721
The lion tamer's kind of the physical, not necessarily whip, but kind of the come on, let's get going dynamic.

00:33:26.721 --> 00:33:29.990
And the clown is very much the the pensive.

00:33:29.990 --> 00:33:44.066
I'm gonna be funny today, but then when I come home I want to be really thoughtful and you don't bother asking me what's wrong, because you know I'm a deep thinker yeah yeah, so they wear the mask.

00:33:44.287 --> 00:33:47.657
They're funny when they're out there and they're quiet when they're at home.

00:33:47.657 --> 00:33:53.666
This is not necessarily, but they go through these moods and so they have an emotional control.

00:33:53.666 --> 00:33:56.757
So they need a person that understands that.

00:33:56.757 --> 00:33:59.604
But they also need a person that's going to put up with it.

00:33:59.604 --> 00:34:02.878
You wouldn't, definitely you wouldn't.

00:34:02.878 --> 00:34:05.486
You'd be the kind of person that go, look what's up with you.

00:34:05.486 --> 00:34:07.623
You're not talking to me, what's going on, can I help you?

00:34:07.623 --> 00:34:11.096
And he'd be like man, look, just leave me alone.

00:34:11.096 --> 00:34:13.922
I just need to I don't know be in my man cave.

00:34:13.922 --> 00:34:20.844
I just want to be in my man cave, read my, read my book, or I'll just you know, ah, I'm not ready for jokes.

00:34:20.844 --> 00:34:23.096
I'll come out when I'm ready to have fun with you.

00:34:23.096 --> 00:34:26.201
Put the mask on, have fun, because that's what a clown does.

00:34:26.201 --> 00:34:28.503
They only let you see what they want you to see.

00:34:28.503 --> 00:34:32.028
When they want you to see it, to see it.

00:34:32.769 --> 00:34:34.981
Yeah, hence wearing the mask.

00:34:36.155 --> 00:34:54.023
And we often meet and I've been victim to this so many when I did the analogies and when I actually I mean it's taken a long time to get these together and I mean they are deep, they go on and on and on and on right yeah like I said, there's over 50 choices.

00:34:55.445 --> 00:34:59.355
Every single one has got depth and substance.

00:34:59.355 --> 00:35:01.340
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here.

00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:04.567
They've got depth and substance that you will relate to.

00:35:04.567 --> 00:35:09.003
So if you pick an act that you think, aha, this won't be there, for example, if you pick an act that you think, ah, this won't be there.

00:35:09.003 --> 00:35:14.195
For example, if you pick tiger, well, tiger isn't there, but lion is.

00:35:14.195 --> 00:35:27.581
So I suggest the app that, if it's close to you, know the area that you know, you just pick lion, because lion, big cat, you know, black panther, cheetah I've had all kinds of.

00:35:27.581 --> 00:35:31.942
You know I can't write pages on everything because it would just be copying.

00:35:31.942 --> 00:35:37.824
Lion is a generic for Big Cat, lion Tamer is generic for Lion Tameress.

00:35:38.394 --> 00:35:40.422
So, masculine or female, you're in there.

00:35:40.422 --> 00:35:44.900
Ringmaster, ringmission, yeah, yeah, so we get it.

00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:51.704
There's Snake Charmers, sword Swallows, fire Eaters I mean you'll be shocked wheel of death.

00:35:51.704 --> 00:35:59.574
There's loads, and when you listen I'm shocked at how many there are, and I do get them.

00:35:59.574 --> 00:36:03.784
Occasionally there are the ones that are more popular, but you know what, when?

00:36:03.784 --> 00:36:16.925
When someone says to me what the most popular ones, I can tell you what the most popular ones are, but it's not relevant to you, because what's relevant to you is what you chose, because what you chose is where you are.

00:36:16.925 --> 00:36:20.179
Nadine, what star sign are you?

00:36:20.179 --> 00:36:21.885
What?

00:36:21.885 --> 00:36:25.135
What star sign are you?

00:36:25.894 --> 00:36:27.278
Oh, you mean like Aquarius.

00:36:28.101 --> 00:36:28.724
That's the one.

00:36:28.724 --> 00:36:30.759
Yeah, what zodiac sign are you?

00:36:31.976 --> 00:36:33.480
well, isn't that the same?

00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:34.802
Am I getting confused here?

00:36:34.802 --> 00:36:35.242
So?

00:36:35.262 --> 00:36:37.407
what star star sign?

00:36:37.407 --> 00:36:38.516
Well, we call it star sign.

00:36:38.516 --> 00:36:52.916
Maybe zodiac sign, zodiac sign okay, just aquarius okay, aquarius, are you familiar with the compatibility system of a synastry where you know they say your aquarius should meet blah blah should never go with.

00:36:53.358 --> 00:36:59.175
I don't know, I'm not gonna lie my daughter just did that to me like my last date.

00:36:59.175 --> 00:37:00.659
She asked what is he?

00:37:00.659 --> 00:37:01.460
What sign?

00:37:01.460 --> 00:37:11.907
He was a scorpio and my daughter goes like right away I should listen to her you know, you're the, the, this generation, that are dating.

00:37:11.987 --> 00:37:14.079
Now it's become very popular.

00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:24.054
Synastry and astrology and the whole compatibility thing with star signs or astrological signs has become extremely popular, especially on dating sites.

00:37:24.054 --> 00:37:25.496
People are asking people now.

00:37:25.496 --> 00:37:28.121
15 years ago they weren't doing that so much.

00:37:28.121 --> 00:37:35.762
Um, because people need something that they can use to give them a filter or a head start.

00:37:35.762 --> 00:37:44.856
I mean, listen, it's been reported recently and I'm sure when this podcast comes out, it's only just been reported in the uk that the dating sites are having problems.

00:37:44.856 --> 00:37:53.757
People are voting with their fingers, they're swiping away, hundreds of thousands of users are coming off the sites.

00:37:53.757 --> 00:37:57.885
And it's not because dating sites are not any good.

00:37:57.885 --> 00:38:05.907
It's because the compatibility filters on dating sites aren't really helping people enough.

00:38:05.907 --> 00:38:10.186
Hence I'm trying to create a tool which will help people.

00:38:12.101 --> 00:38:17.476
But if you've got a tool that will help you filter people, it doesn't necessarily guarantee 100.

00:38:17.476 --> 00:38:18.599
Nothing's 100 in life.

00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:20.664
I mean, god, I could walk out the door now and get killed.

00:38:20.664 --> 00:38:22.356
You know nothing's 100.

00:38:22.356 --> 00:38:29.867
But what is 100 is if you put the effort in, you will get the reward that you deserve.

00:38:29.867 --> 00:38:32.931
So if you go in blind, that's one of my.

00:38:32.931 --> 00:38:36.942
My marketing strategy for valentine's was don't date blind.

00:38:36.942 --> 00:38:40.954
Use the tool to help you get a head start.

00:38:40.954 --> 00:38:49.521
So your daughter's not wrong, in a sense, because she must have done her homework and said right Aquarius and Scorpio don't go.

00:38:49.521 --> 00:38:57.608
Funnily enough, my dating, my serious dating although obviously some of them have been failures.

00:38:57.608 --> 00:39:02.092
That's why I'm here now with a successful one, but even she's Cancer.

00:39:02.092 --> 00:39:05.626
I'm a Virgo.

00:39:05.626 --> 00:39:18.650
All my serious dates have been Pisces, cancer, because I'm an, an earth sign and they're water and I need water to go together you get me?

00:39:18.670 --> 00:39:18.992
yes, I do.

00:39:18.992 --> 00:39:20.295
So that part of it I understood.

00:39:20.295 --> 00:39:55.061
I don't really know about the other ones but it's a coincidence, but it isn't because a cancer, because a Cancer or a Pisces, actually their personality works with mine and that compatibility is kind of summarized in the circus question because those traits of patience, of communication of you know I could list them, but you know it's hard for me to list them actually because I can't see but but basically you will see and agree with most of them.

00:39:55.061 --> 00:39:57.387
There might be the odd one that you can't know.

00:39:57.387 --> 00:40:00.019
That's not me, but then read the negative.

00:40:00.019 --> 00:40:03.728
Then you'll be in a toxic environment.

00:40:03.728 --> 00:40:07.056
Am I avoiding in a toxic environment?

00:40:07.056 --> 00:40:08.021
Am I resentful?

00:40:08.021 --> 00:40:09.606
Well, you'd say we all are.

00:40:09.606 --> 00:40:22.666
But those are the traits that really come to the fore and when you're in a toxic environment we often put up with those, with things, and that list will resonate strongly with your past relationships.

00:40:23.168 --> 00:40:40.731
You don't want them in your future so by teaching you what to avoid and showing you in the app, I'm hopefully giving you a head start and an opportunity to pursue the guy you fancy, rather than the guy you fancy blind.

00:40:40.731 --> 00:40:43.903
Because, listen, guys, people can tell you anything.

00:40:43.903 --> 00:40:54.260
Of course, it's not foolproof, proof and people have said to me okay, so what if the person I asked the question says they're flying trapeze?

00:40:54.260 --> 00:40:56.985
And you say okay.

00:40:56.985 --> 00:41:00.777
So you look at your list, you go okay, he's this, this, this and this and this.

00:41:00.777 --> 00:41:03.706
That sounds like we are compatible.

00:41:03.706 --> 00:41:06.034
Let's continue our conversation.

00:41:06.034 --> 00:41:12.356
And you're the one with the app, you're the one everything about that person and their traits.

00:41:12.356 --> 00:41:24.976
So then you go out on a date and you're sitting there across the table and the menu comes and he says Nadine, I'm not going to ask you what you want to eat, I'm going to order for both of us.

00:41:24.976 --> 00:41:27.880
You're like whoa, hold on a minute.

00:41:29.003 --> 00:41:39.085
Big red flag yes, yes, that happened a month ago I'm gonna order the wine, but I don't drink wine.

00:41:39.206 --> 00:41:42.000
No, I'm gonna order the wine, you're gonna drink wine.

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:43.003
What the f?

00:41:43.003 --> 00:41:44.085
Am I doing here?

00:41:44.085 --> 00:41:47.402
Why are you taking control, nadine?

00:41:47.402 --> 00:41:50.827
You're not wearing that short skirt next time we go out.

00:41:50.827 --> 00:41:53.219
You're not wearing that because I don't want guys looking at you.

00:41:53.740 --> 00:42:10.688
Whoa, these insecurities, this control reminiscent of the lion tamer so no lion tamers for me you look at the lion tamer in the app and you go, whoa, that describes this guy and no more dates.

00:42:10.688 --> 00:42:27.882
And you can tell him listen, mate, you said flying trapeze, but I think you may have lied a little bit there or you may have kind of deceived me a little bit, but but you, by seeing the red flags early, you've saved yourself heartache yes toxicity.

00:42:28.322 --> 00:42:30.829
I mean, look, you mentioned a daughter.

00:42:30.829 --> 00:42:35.422
If you're going into a next relationship and I've got three kids now, okay I might.

00:42:35.422 --> 00:42:42.900
My very story was at 47, started dating at 52, met my wife.

00:42:42.900 --> 00:42:44.782
I've now got three kids under six.

00:42:44.782 --> 00:42:47.166
Hello happy story.

00:42:47.166 --> 00:42:54.380
All from not the app, because the app wasn't developed then, but from the circus question because identified who I really wanted to be with.

00:42:54.380 --> 00:42:56.626
She interviewed me, trust me.

00:42:56.626 --> 00:42:57.617
She interviewed me hard.

00:42:57.617 --> 00:42:59.762
We took us a month to actually get together.

00:42:59.762 --> 00:43:01.827
I don't advise my clients to do this.

00:43:01.827 --> 00:43:06.315
I actually said get together as soon as possible because you need the eye contact, but it took a month.

00:43:06.315 --> 00:43:09.565
And it took a month because she interviewed me, interviewed me.

00:43:09.565 --> 00:43:10.615
Do you know what I thought?

00:43:10.615 --> 00:43:15.251
Blimey, this is the person I need to be with, because this is yeah anyway.

00:43:15.251 --> 00:43:22.106
So the next person you want to date, nadine, and ideally settle down with, is your ideal partner.

00:43:22.568 --> 00:43:33.539
You can't be, I mean, if you, if you want to have fun and what I call you know I call it casual relationships and formal relationships you want a formal relationship?

00:43:33.539 --> 00:43:34.483
You've got a child?

00:43:34.483 --> 00:43:35.637
You probably aren't.

00:43:35.637 --> 00:43:37.023
You don't want to be messed around.

00:43:38.175 --> 00:43:39.079
Yes, exactly.

00:43:39.755 --> 00:43:46.907
One thing that's going to give you an edge, and I know you're a dating coach, I know you probably get you've got your profile amazing pictures.

00:43:46.907 --> 00:43:49.514
You know amazing bio 100%.

00:43:49.514 --> 00:43:51.755
I coach quite a few coaches actually.

00:43:51.755 --> 00:44:00.501
So I need to change my name from dating coach to dating mentor, because I I've coached so funny because yeah, I probably need you.

00:44:01.282 --> 00:44:10.465
I was like I may be a relationship coach and people come to me, but I just feel like I've been duped so many times going on dates.

00:44:11.005 --> 00:44:12.007
I've been there.

00:44:12.007 --> 00:44:12.929
You know, I'm not going to lie.

00:44:12.929 --> 00:44:14.581
I used to date blind.

00:44:14.581 --> 00:44:15.815
I'd go oh God, she's great.

00:44:15.815 --> 00:44:22.784
Well, with my eyes that are rose-tinted glasses, wow, I've got to get this girl's number, get her number.

00:44:22.784 --> 00:44:31.257
I mean, I was an international DJ, so I was DJing and girls would throw themselves at me and, of course, if I wanted fun, I had fun.

00:44:31.257 --> 00:44:36.820
But there were some that I actually thought, oh my God, wife material, because we date with our eyes.

00:44:36.820 --> 00:44:41.143
Yes, and you're like, oh my God, yeah, you know what.

00:44:41.143 --> 00:44:44.018
There's some things I don't like about you, but I will make you the perfect wife.

00:44:44.018 --> 00:44:48.217
Big mistake, yeah, the perfect wife.

00:44:48.257 --> 00:44:50.099
Big mistake yeah.

00:44:51.079 --> 00:45:00.228
Look, if and my theory is this, if you're in the right foundation with the right partner, one you fancy, one that fancies you.

00:45:00.228 --> 00:45:13.217
Obviously there are other elements that are great, and I don't need to explain all of those smells, icks that you don't mind.

00:45:13.217 --> 00:45:14.501
They're under six foot, they're five foot eleven.

00:45:14.501 --> 00:45:15.503
Oh my god, one inch.

00:45:15.503 --> 00:45:16.847
I bet you get that as a dating coach.

00:45:16.847 --> 00:45:19.998
I want them to be six foot plus, when 80 of the world are under six foot.

00:45:19.998 --> 00:45:27.121
You know you're already creating a problem when it shouldn't be five foot eleven and three quarters.

00:45:27.221 --> 00:45:30.025
For god's sake, just go with it, man.

00:45:30.025 --> 00:45:31.829
I mean, I'm a short ass.00:45:31.829 --> 00:45:35.543


I was dating a six foot catwalk model.00:45:35.543 --> 00:45:38.248


You know, at the end of the day I shouldn't have been.00:45:38.248 --> 00:45:38.449


She was.00:45:38.449 --> 00:45:43.692


She was beyond me on that scale, but not from a relationship point of view.00:45:43.692 --> 00:45:45.958


We're 13 years together, so that wasn't the problem.00:45:45.958 --> 00:45:53.059


The problem was probably me, because I lost my business and I was depressed and there were loads of issues.00:45:53.059 --> 00:45:55.364


But you can't control those factors.00:45:55.364 --> 00:46:01.724


But things you can control are you find a partner that you're compatible with and you grow together.00:46:01.724 --> 00:46:15.621


You go in the same direction together, because the less chance and I use this analogy your ideal partnership is one where you're in the same car with the same partner going in the same direction.00:46:15.621 --> 00:46:24.081


Right, right, you really don't want to be in two separate cars thinking you're going in the same direction.00:46:24.081 --> 00:46:25.606


What's going to happen?00:46:27.376 --> 00:46:30.083


We've all had someone follow us in a car or we followed a car.00:46:30.083 --> 00:46:31.206


You get lost.00:46:31.206 --> 00:46:33.702


It's impossible to maintain.00:46:33.702 --> 00:46:42.860


You might think you're going in the same direction, but at some point you drift apart and there's no guarantee to life.00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:47.123


Like I said, even if you're in the same car, you might just hate the sight of each other after a while.00:46:47.123 --> 00:47:01.775


I mean, this is always the thing, the conundrum that's always bugged me why, when you meet someone new relationship energy you are infatuated beyond control.00:47:01.775 --> 00:47:10.222


We've all been that sick 16, 18, yeah, but you still get that in the 30s and that you can't stop talking or thinking about them.00:47:10.222 --> 00:47:11.438


Are they texting me?00:47:11.438 --> 00:47:12.519


Are they not texting me?00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:13.181


What?00:47:13.181 --> 00:47:14.324


What they doing right now?00:47:14.324 --> 00:47:15.695


You know the kind of thing.00:47:15.695 --> 00:47:17.864


You know what the time I wonder where they're at.00:47:17.864 --> 00:47:22.097


We've all been there and that new relationship energy is amazing.00:47:22.097 --> 00:47:30.349


There comes a point, when you break up with someone, that you hate the sight of them.00:47:30.349 --> 00:47:31.130


I was going to swear.00:47:31.130 --> 00:47:33.260


Then you hate the sight of them.00:47:33.260 --> 00:47:34.143


Am I right or am I wrong?00:47:35.536 --> 00:47:39.715


Well, I wish people these days did verbally communicate.00:47:39.715 --> 00:47:42.704


They wanted to break up instead of ghosting.00:47:43.574 --> 00:47:57.365


Well, you know ghosting and I'm going to say this because I've been a man on dating sites and I've seen it firsthand with clients all the time Ghosting is easy when you've got a plan B.00:47:57.365 --> 00:48:17.664


So in the old days when we went to a bar or a club or something in our local area and we met someone, it's very difficult to ghost the girl you're going out with if your local club or hangout is where she's going, because if you ghosted her you'd get seen or found out and there'd be some kind of your lockheads.00:48:17.664 --> 00:48:30.802


Okay, online it's very easy to disappear because you just disappear, especially if you're on a dating site and you are just a name and there's no social media connection or anything.00:48:30.802 --> 00:48:36.920


So I think I think the problem with ghosting is something we're going to have to live with.00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:54.159


But if you can respectfully put someone down and say, look, we're not compatible bye-bye, you're doing your part to actually be respectful, because no one likes, no one likes, you've been ghosted.00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:55.581


We've all been ghosted at some point.00:48:56.344 --> 00:49:04.677


You know there were times when I'd message people and I'd get, you know, one word answer and I'd kind of go okay, how do I carry on this conversation?00:49:04.677 --> 00:49:06.681


How are you fine?00:49:06.681 --> 00:49:13.009


Okay, okay, right, at least the circus question opens a discussion.00:49:13.009 --> 00:49:15.518


It's a great opener, I mean for a guy.00:49:15.518 --> 00:49:34.090


When I started using the circus question, if I put out 100 circus questions to ladies, women, I'd get 78% return immediately, not disappearing to the ether, whereas before if it was hi, how you?00:49:34.090 --> 00:49:35.836


I'm andrea.00:49:35.836 --> 00:49:39.204


I'm not not a huge paragraph, but a little bit of info.00:49:39.204 --> 00:49:45.018


I saw your photograph or I saw that you like going to, you know skiing or whatever it was.00:49:45.018 --> 00:49:47.822


Make a comment about the profile, which is what I coach people.00:49:47.822 --> 00:49:53.108


Now you know I would get one in, maybe 10.00:49:54.250 --> 00:49:55.152


Photograph what you're saying.00:49:56.115 --> 00:49:57.561


My bio was exactly the same.00:49:57.561 --> 00:50:11.097


The difference was the opening question, just the opening question, because I mean, you know, I don't want you to reveal how many, but if you're on a dating site, nadine, and you put 10, I don't know you look at your inbox, how many have you?00:50:11.097 --> 00:50:14.025


You're on a dating site, nadine and you you put 10.00:50:14.045 --> 00:50:14.286


I don't know.00:50:14.286 --> 00:50:14.987


You look at your inbox.00:50:14.987 --> 00:50:15.969


How many have you got?00:50:15.969 --> 00:50:23.929


10, 20, 30, I usually 10 out of the week and whether yeah, sometimes you can just pick up on a profile reading, so how?00:50:23.969 --> 00:50:24.329


do you feel?00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:36.338


my goodness, I guess I'm ghosting too, because if they don't respond, you see yeah so I guess, yeah, I guess I am.00:50:36.338 --> 00:50:46.059


But you know, if I open up and said, hey, I just don't think we're compatible, it's gonna be like why, you know?00:50:46.059 --> 00:50:50.507


It's like oh, because I paid more attention to your bio or you know what is it?00:50:50.547 --> 00:50:56.072


okay, I'll give you my link, send them the link to the app and then go find yourself.00:50:56.072 --> 00:50:56.894


That's all you have to.00:50:56.894 --> 00:51:01.306


Go find yourself, not the f, other words, other f word.00:51:01.306 --> 00:51:05.856


Go find yourself in the app and then you'll see why we're not compatible.00:51:05.856 --> 00:51:13.329


And if you want, just say listen, I'm trapeze solo and you're lion tamer.00:51:13.329 --> 00:51:25.728


I'm going to use lion tamer as an example yes go find yourself and then tell me if we're compatible, and what it will do is help them find who they need yeah, is that you know?00:51:25.867 --> 00:51:29.240


people say what is the what is the right choice?00:51:29.240 --> 00:51:30.565


There is no right choice.00:51:30.565 --> 00:51:32.856


The right choice for you is the right choice.00:51:32.856 --> 00:51:34.460


That's why I don't do.00:51:34.460 --> 00:51:39.896


I once um, coached um, someone that was really big on empirical data.00:51:39.896 --> 00:51:42.003


You know what that is, don't you stats?00:51:43.286 --> 00:51:49.150


oh, okay and she said to me I love your question, I love that, have what's your empirical data like?00:51:49.150 --> 00:51:50.235


And I said, what do you mean?00:51:50.235 --> 00:51:51.557


Because I didn't know what she meant.00:51:51.557 --> 00:51:57.958


And she said, well, what percentage of people pick this and what percentage of people pick that?00:51:57.958 --> 00:52:01.105


And I say, how is that going to help you?00:52:01.105 --> 00:52:03.068


I said, well, it's not.00:52:03.068 --> 00:52:03.775


But I'm curious.00:52:03.775 --> 00:52:10.259


And I said, well, let it be curiosity in 10 years time, when I've got enough stats to actually produce that.00:52:10.259 --> 00:52:11.657


But that's not going to help people.00:52:11.858 --> 00:52:15.815


It's not about picking the one that's right, because there is no right or wrong.00:52:15.815 --> 00:52:21.675


It's what's right for you, because who's going to date you, who's going to marry you, who's going to live with you?00:52:21.675 --> 00:52:29.320


You are with the other person, so don't make one up, don't pretend you're Nadine.00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:33.525


If you said to me I want to be a lion tamer, well, you want to be a lion tamer, but is that your truth?00:52:33.525 --> 00:52:38.726


No, can you sustain that control in a relationship?00:52:38.726 --> 00:52:42.021


Do you want to be the one Telling someone what to do?00:52:42.021 --> 00:52:48.239


No, do you want them waiting for you to tell them Even worse, waiting for you to tell them?00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:54.887


Or do you want them them even worse, waiting for you to tell them or do you want them to share responsibility for the relationship and actually get off their butt?00:52:54.887 --> 00:53:01.722


We use that terminology get off their butt and share responsibility?00:53:02.885 --> 00:53:05.309


Yeah, career, I mean you might have your career.00:53:05.309 --> 00:53:07.699


They've got their respect that I've got to go out and work.00:53:07.699 --> 00:53:11.465


You can go down, you know it doesn't matter.00:53:11.465 --> 00:53:13.208


You could be at home, you could be a stay-at-home wife.00:53:13.208 --> 00:53:14.536


That doesn't mean you've not got a career.00:53:14.536 --> 00:53:16.059


To me that's just as important.00:53:16.059 --> 00:53:21.740


You know, I might be the breadwinner and my wife isn't the breadwinner, but she is the home builder.00:53:21.740 --> 00:53:25.954


She brings the kids up more than I do because she does everything for them.00:53:25.954 --> 00:53:29.757


You know, not everything, but most of the things 90% she does.00:53:30.958 --> 00:53:38.081


The bottom line is is understanding the dynamic that you need, not what you want.00:53:38.081 --> 00:53:40.141


We all want a Ferrari, don't we?00:53:40.141 --> 00:53:44.463


One of my analogies is we all want a Ferrari, but can we maintain it?00:53:44.463 --> 00:53:46.065


Can we pay the insurance?00:53:46.065 --> 00:53:48.286


Can we pay the service every year?00:53:48.286 --> 00:53:50.907


Can we afford to put it outside our drive?00:53:50.907 --> 00:53:52.947


Where we live in our neighborhood?00:53:52.947 --> 00:53:54.208


Will it get vandalized?00:53:54.208 --> 00:54:01.972


Because if you live in an affluent area, they've all got one, but if you live in an average area, you're going to find key marks all over it.00:54:01.972 --> 00:54:05.413


You're going to find, you know, letting the tires down.00:54:08.954 --> 00:54:09.755


So it's the same with relationships.00:54:09.755 --> 00:54:16.045


Can you maintain the relationship you want versus the relationship you need?00:54:16.045 --> 00:54:34.557


The relationship you need you very much can maintain that, make decisions with you, discuss it with you, not control you.00:54:34.557 --> 00:54:41.250


Let you be an autonomous, which is what you need autonomy, independence, lets you shine, lets you be responsible and you allow them.00:54:41.250 --> 00:54:49.438


No jealousy some jealousy can can come out and I I hate it when people say he's not jealous, he doesn't care about me.00:54:49.438 --> 00:54:50.563


Do you know what?00:54:50.563 --> 00:54:51.998


He's not jealous?00:54:51.998 --> 00:54:58.538


Because he's secure in his attachment style yeah he's still threatened by your beauty.00:54:59.219 --> 00:55:01.724


He doesn't feel threatened by other men approaching you.00:55:01.724 --> 00:55:11.034


Obviously, if you've got them out and you're short and your skirts up to your navel, there's a lot to be threatened about.00:55:11.034 --> 00:55:13.440


There's a lot to be about.00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:15.184


Yeah, we're not talking about that.00:55:15.184 --> 00:55:16.206


We're talking sensible now.00:55:16.206 --> 00:55:25.699


Yeah, so there's lots of positives and negatives in relationships that we need to identify to help us direct us in the right direction.00:55:25.699 --> 00:55:29.585


All right, definitely.00:55:29.806 --> 00:55:36.440


I am going to start using your method and I want to see how well it does out of the month for me.00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:40.329


I'm going to do and I want to report back to you too.00:55:40.329 --> 00:55:59.965


So because I do believe in this, I really do, and you know, I just look at the questions I've been asking so like tell me something I don't know or nobody else knows about you, maybe a favorite childhood memory and it opens that it's an icebreaker.00:55:59.965 --> 00:56:08.550


So it's just a way that I it's almost like interviewing- here I'm going to use the circus I'm going to interview.00:56:10.231 --> 00:56:20.143


You know, this is the beauty it's.00:56:20.143 --> 00:56:21.931


It's a question, that's not um, we need the whole idea.00:56:21.931 --> 00:56:26.318


It's quite whimsical when you say circus people actually, oh right, okay, you said, let me ask you a question.00:56:26.318 --> 00:56:30.326


You start feeling, oh my God, he's going to ask me about my past or my future, or where are going to be in five years time.00:56:30.326 --> 00:56:32.389


We all know that question where you're going to be in five years time.00:56:32.389 --> 00:56:35.838


Okay, that's great, but I might.00:56:35.838 --> 00:56:37.583


Am I going to be with you in five years time?00:56:37.583 --> 00:56:40.690


Who knows?00:56:40.690 --> 00:56:41.693


So what's the point?00:56:41.693 --> 00:56:42.936


Yeah, great to ask.00:56:42.936 --> 00:56:44.699


Those are the questions you can ask over dinner.00:56:44.699 --> 00:56:50.269


But what I want to know is are we as a compatible dynamic?00:56:50.269 --> 00:56:52.161


That's important to me.00:56:52.161 --> 00:56:55.784


Are you going to make me feel secure?00:56:55.784 --> 00:57:04.405


One of the other analogies and I talked about the extreme polarities of the lion tamer and the lion 9 and 1, making 10.00:57:06.076 --> 00:57:11.186


The most balanced relationship is the flying trapeze and the catcher.00:57:11.186 --> 00:57:14.887


You know the one right in the middle of the circus where they both swing in and out.00:57:14.887 --> 00:57:26.405


He's on one side and he's on the other side and all of a sudden she decides to flip and he catches her and he flings out this way and he comes back and he lets her go, and that's a five and a half and four and a half.00:57:26.405 --> 00:57:29.070


That's the most balanced dynamic in a circus.00:57:29.070 --> 00:57:30.215


Obviously, you're going to say why not a five and a half and four and a half?00:57:30.215 --> 00:57:31.226


That's the most balanced dynamic in a circus.00:57:31.190 --> 00:57:31.751


Obviously, you're going to say why not a five and a five?00:57:31.751 --> 00:57:41.440


Well, they're balanced, but the analogy works because you can see it, they're two people working in complete timing, complete respect for each other.00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:45.184


He knows his strength, which is to catch her when she needs it.00:57:45.184 --> 00:57:54.219


She's got her independence on the other trapeze and once in a while she lets go and he's there to catch her.00:57:54.219 --> 00:58:00.916


And that's how that relationship is is so that they're they're a completely balanced dynamic.00:58:00.916 --> 00:58:03.621


And I'll tell you when you fall.00:58:03.922 --> 00:58:09.079


That's the term that I'm thinking of yeah, exactly, and that and that works as an analogy.00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:23.297


Strangely enough and I and I'll share this with you because we talked about weddings I was at a wedding once and um, at this wedding I got talking to a guy that I knew and I won't share too much information because if he ever sees this he'll know.00:58:23.297 --> 00:58:24.460


Well, he doesn't matter because he knows.00:58:24.460 --> 00:58:28.239


But I was talking to him and he said what are you working on at the moment?00:58:28.239 --> 00:58:30.206


I said I'm working on this question.00:58:30.206 --> 00:58:42.181


I said, actually, let me ask you the question first, because if you start telling people what it's about, it's because we want our unconscious selection to work, so we want our unconscious truth.00:58:42.181 --> 00:58:45.445


So if you start saying it, you answer this question, it tells you this.00:58:45.445 --> 00:58:51.614


You kind of spoil it a bit, ok.00:58:51.614 --> 00:58:52.677


So I said to him listen, let me ask you this.00:58:52.677 --> 00:58:52.978


And it was you.00:58:52.978 --> 00:58:53.722


You kind of spoil it a bit, okay.00:58:53.722 --> 00:58:54.784


So I said to him listen, let me ask you this question.00:58:54.804 --> 00:58:59.668


I asked him the question and he said aha, and he kind of laughed into his drink because he was holding his glass of wine and I said why are you laughing?00:58:59.668 --> 00:59:01.215


He went you're not gonna believe this.00:59:01.215 --> 00:59:02.157


And I said what?00:59:02.157 --> 00:59:06.405


And he said I imagine myself on a trapeze.00:59:06.405 --> 00:59:09.250


And I said okay, what's so, what's so funny about that?00:59:09.250 --> 00:59:21.849


And he said I'm wearing a shiny leotard, sparkly leotard, and I'm swinging and I'm letting go and someone's catching me now.00:59:21.849 --> 00:59:29.585


He's a guy, yeah, yeah, but he's a guy and a straight guy, one, two, quite.00:59:30.166 --> 01:00:01.684


I would say quite a strong, masculine, male, I would you know, quite feminine in the respect of being the one who gets caught yeah but I knew his wife and immediately I went oh my god, I this, this and this about you, similar to your traits, you know you like to be independent, autonomous, you like to shine, you like this, you like that.01:00:01.684 --> 01:00:02.844


And he said yeah.01:00:02.844 --> 01:00:08.768


And I said and your wife controls the relationship but likes to share the control with you?01:00:08.768 --> 01:00:10.260


And he went my god, yeah.01:00:10.260 --> 01:00:11.275


I said yeah.01:00:11.275 --> 01:00:17.894


And I know that now because I know your wife, the saying she wears the trousers in the relationship.01:00:17.894 --> 01:00:36.563


It's true for them, because he has to ask her before he actually agrees to do anything, but not on the basis that he feels codependent, just on the basis I'm going to check with my wife before I can let you know, kind of thing.01:00:36.563 --> 01:00:44.106


And if she wants to say, I don't know, let's go holiday somewhere, if she says I want to go there, he invariably agrees.01:00:44.106 --> 01:00:46.219


But they debate it, but they agree.01:00:46.219 --> 01:00:48.925


And he said, oh my God, that analogy really works.01:00:54.094 --> 01:00:55.197


And I said it wouldn't work the other way around it.01:00:55.197 --> 01:00:57.244


She wouldn't be the one, the leotard, and you're where, you're the one catching her.01:00:57.244 --> 01:00:57.766


And he said no, no chance.01:00:57.766 --> 01:01:01.135


And she's his emotional strength, not his physical strength.01:01:01.135 --> 01:01:13.121


His emotional strength because as much as he's a guy, he's quite emotional and a little bit insecure and now and again she's the pick-me-up.01:01:13.121 --> 01:01:17.101


Yeah, and that's the compatibility for them.01:01:17.101 --> 01:01:20.324


So that was an interesting aside from when you said about weddings.01:01:20.324 --> 01:01:28.106


But we spent about half an hour chatting at this wedding and he pulled the wife over and he said look, you're going to like this.01:01:28.106 --> 01:01:30.639


And I asked the question guess what she picked?01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:34.806


Well, trapi Gotcha.01:01:35.027 --> 01:01:36.369


Trapis yeah.01:01:36.568 --> 01:01:41.204


Yeah, and we were in fit, we were like laughing and he was like, oh my God.01:01:41.204 --> 01:01:51.820


He said thank God she didn't say lion tamer, because I said, well, it's possible she could have said lion tamer, yes, but after two kids and 20 years Call out of the wedding.01:01:51.820 --> 01:01:54.219


Two kids and 20 years.01:01:54.219 --> 01:02:02.724


I think you pretty much say you've got quite a balanced relationship, yeah, so anyway, that's a good example.01:02:02.724 --> 01:02:06.960


It is you can second guess it, how old is your daughter?01:02:08.496 --> 01:02:09.541


Oh, she's 23.01:02:09.541 --> 01:02:13.878


Well, there you go.01:02:13.878 --> 01:02:14.820


You've got to ask her the question.01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:27.797


Yeah, I can definitely she's in a asking family and friends is really interesting because when you ask family and friends, you already know them and you kind of think you know what they're going to answer.01:02:27.797 --> 01:02:36.585


It's surprising when they do, when you look at the app and you can see what defines them and you think, oh my God, yeah, that is true.01:02:37.367 --> 01:02:37.867


Why didn't I see?01:02:37.887 --> 01:02:38.007


that.01:02:39.434 --> 01:02:41.041


Yeah, that is.01:02:41.041 --> 01:02:42.465


Yeah, that's really cool.01:02:42.465 --> 01:02:44.362


I am definitely going to use that.01:02:45.237 --> 01:02:47.445


It works in the workplace as well, by the way.01:02:49.141 --> 01:02:50.304


Yeah, I can see why.01:02:50.304 --> 01:02:54.003


But also, you know there is more.01:02:54.003 --> 01:03:06.023


But I'm going to do a quick, really quick break and I'm going to bring in our next sponsor for Keep Up Alive, which is Snapfans, and, as you can see, I have mine on.01:03:06.023 --> 01:03:09.405


Mine says I can't even get the words to show.01:03:09.405 --> 01:03:12.635


Oh, you know what?01:03:12.635 --> 01:03:13.637


Because I'm holding the words.01:03:13.637 --> 01:03:14.619


Sorry about that.01:03:15.300 --> 01:03:21.295


Mine says hope and this is called a mantra word for the snap bands.01:03:21.295 --> 01:03:42.480


Now mantra words will come in the words of peace, hope, love, faith, fearlessness, hope, love, faith, fearlessness everything that you can think of they can probably put on there, but the ones that they do offer will be all listed on their website.01:03:42.480 --> 01:04:08.849


They are made with a vegan leather which is nice and sturdy, but the interesting part right behind here is like a rubber band and when you pull it out and snap it, it sends a signal to the brain and this is to help you reduce your stress, your depression, your anxiety, if you have PTSD, and always kind of like, say a little prayer with it, like for me, I would say hope or have faith.01:04:08.849 --> 01:04:14.807


I'm always praying for the people who have to find a vein on me because I'm a hard stick.01:04:14.807 --> 01:04:17.358


So those poor nurses.01:04:17.358 --> 01:04:21.989


I will do that and say my little prayer and everything as it goes through.01:04:21.989 --> 01:04:32.757


But when you buy SnapBands, benefits will go to the different organizations out there for depression and stuff to help get that word out and help people see it.01:04:32.757 --> 01:04:35.664


So they want to make the world a better place.01:04:36.246 --> 01:04:48.748


Come and check out their website at wwwsnapbandscom and that is spelled S-N-A-P-P-B-A-N-D-Zcom.01:04:48.748 --> 01:04:51.130


All right, well, we're back.01:04:51.130 --> 01:04:53.896


So you know.01:04:53.896 --> 01:05:04.050


I remember that there is another testing out there that they use for what is it when you're getting hired on?01:05:04.050 --> 01:05:05.202


It's called a DISC.01:05:05.202 --> 01:05:06.170


Have you heard of that?01:05:08.358 --> 01:05:09.021


sorry, a disc.01:05:09.021 --> 01:05:11.547


In respect of what the compatibility?01:05:11.916 --> 01:05:21.507


E-I-S-C, and I guess you know, with the test it tells you if you're a D, and this is what it means, or I.01:05:21.507 --> 01:05:23.701


I know I was an.01:05:23.701 --> 01:05:26.182


I I'm bubbly, outgoing free spirit.01:05:26.182 --> 01:05:28.041


You know things are on the go for me.01:05:28.041 --> 01:05:35.878


I love to help people, so, and then S, and then you learn how to work with that person as well.01:05:35.878 --> 01:05:42.715


Now, that's being said for corporations, but I feel like we're talking to people.01:05:42.715 --> 01:05:48.045


That should be used for relationships also, and I, you know the two.01:05:48.045 --> 01:05:55.115


Like I got to thinking, I want to combine the two now because I think circus is great.01:05:55.115 --> 01:05:56.639


What are your thoughts?01:05:57.320 --> 01:06:17.563


Well, yeah, I mean I'm familiar with Myers-Briggs, the Myers-Briggs compatibility system, sorry, the personality trait system, but again, when you go on a dating site and you see someone's got enjp, okay, first of all you need to be familiar with the system.01:06:17.563 --> 01:06:20.528


Secondly, what does that mean to me?01:06:20.528 --> 01:06:29.338


Yeah, exactly, or either you know, like you said, you're independent, or you're, you're um, you're confident, or whatever those letters mean.01:06:29.338 --> 01:06:34.657


Fine, but confident people aren't always compatible with you.01:06:34.657 --> 01:06:39.987


A lion tamer is not compatible with you and I've demonstrated how.01:06:39.987 --> 01:06:41.856


So it's important.01:06:41.856 --> 01:06:42.237


And I don't.01:06:42.237 --> 01:06:43.643


I'm not familiar with the disk system.01:06:43.643 --> 01:06:47.496


I'm familiar with the insights discovery system.01:06:47.496 --> 01:06:57.442


Uh, what they use in in hr, in in workplaces, and you know, a whole four or five page manual is produced on your answering 20 odd questions.01:06:57.442 --> 01:06:59.565


Look on a dating site.01:06:59.565 --> 01:07:02.358


You haven't got a chance to ask 20 to 20 questions, have?01:07:02.398 --> 01:07:04.963


you yeah no, and you know it needs to be fun.01:07:04.963 --> 01:07:08.797


If you start asking me, why are you?01:07:08.797 --> 01:07:12.675


I don't know, like the five day, five years, where you're going to be, even five years from now.01:07:12.675 --> 01:07:25.661


First question I'm thinking, jesus, this is an interview, this is what they say when you're going into hr and you'll be interviewed for a job and you're and you're wondering whether you're going to be, you know, ambitious enough to rise up the ladder.01:07:25.661 --> 01:07:27.166


So do we want to employ you?01:07:27.686 --> 01:07:29.197


This is not what we're talking about here.01:07:29.197 --> 01:07:36.686


We're talking about a dynamic, and a dynamic needs to be fun, otherwise people hold back, they withdraw.01:07:36.686 --> 01:07:42.141


Um, it needs to be insightful because otherwise you're not getting their truth.01:07:42.141 --> 01:07:55.621


And you know what, if you get in there quickly, before they actually discover this tool, maybe you'll get the truth without them thinking, well, um, I'm going to say lion tamer, because she looks like she could be a lion.01:07:55.621 --> 01:07:57.226


The reality is this.01:07:57.226 --> 01:08:03.003


You see, nadine is when people ask me, what about if they know this tool?01:08:03.003 --> 01:08:04.889


They've, maybe they've got the app.01:08:04.889 --> 01:08:14.994


The truth is they don't know what your answer is so never, say never, say before you ask them, I am a trapeze, whatever.01:08:15.396 --> 01:08:24.381


Because then they will say if they want to seduce you, if they want to cause you harm, if they want to, you know, treat you casually.01:08:24.381 --> 01:08:40.798


And you don't want to be treated casually and enter a dynamic which is not going to be favorable for you, then you need to kind of hold your cards close to your chest and say I, I'll tell you what I am when you tell me what you are exactly the leo, the scorpio, the whatever.01:08:40.798 --> 01:08:42.988


Don't reveal what you are before you ask them.01:08:42.988 --> 01:08:47.060


Then you know the compatibility, then you can control the dynamic.01:08:47.060 --> 01:09:00.145


And that's why I like coaching women, because it gives them control, even if they want to be in control of their relationship and they want a man or a partner to take control of their relationship.01:09:00.145 --> 01:09:03.090


The tool allows them to have that control.01:09:03.555 --> 01:09:04.055


And you know what?01:09:04.055 --> 01:09:09.828


It's quite satisfying because women come to me as a coach and they say look, can you help me here?01:09:09.828 --> 01:09:19.559


And I empower them with this tool far more than they thought they were going to be empowered, because they just thought I was going to, you know, say oh, you look lovely.01:09:19.559 --> 01:09:22.126


Oh, you've written a great bio, there's some nice pictures.01:09:22.126 --> 01:09:24.078


Yeah, this picture, choose this picture, not that picture.01:09:24.078 --> 01:09:30.454


That's empowering this is this is so empowering.01:09:30.735 --> 01:09:39.395


Clients come back to me and they say, and I'm sure you will come back to me and go oh my god, I've had so much fun with this, because the guy didn't know what hit him.01:09:39.395 --> 01:09:41.505


He thought he was so clever.01:09:41.505 --> 01:09:55.264


He was kind of like yeah, I'm going to get into your sliding to your dms it doesn't have to be a dating site, by the way sliding to your dms on social media and then you hit them with a question, even better, on social media, because you can check out their profile and you can.01:09:55.264 --> 01:10:01.158


You can look down their profile and identify the traits that you're reading on the app.01:10:01.158 --> 01:10:04.765


Exactly okay.01:10:04.765 --> 01:10:06.768


But I like the guy.01:10:06.768 --> 01:10:09.779


I wonder let's have, oh my god, look, narcissist.01:10:09.779 --> 01:10:11.423


He's posing in front of his car.01:10:11.423 --> 01:10:12.426


He's got big fish.01:10:12.426 --> 01:10:13.216


You know.01:10:13.216 --> 01:10:16.085


He's kind of doing the things that he shouldn't be doing.01:10:16.085 --> 01:10:26.994


They're not compatible with me, you know, whereas someone who's balanced, who's ideal for you, might be a bit more family-orientated in respect of their life yes.01:10:27.694 --> 01:10:31.326


You know, it doesn't mean that lion tamers are no good.01:10:31.326 --> 01:10:35.300


It doesn't mean that lion tamers are no good.01:10:35.300 --> 01:10:36.523


It doesn't mean lions are no good.01:10:36.523 --> 01:10:39.609


It doesn't mean any of the attacks are no good.01:10:39.630 --> 01:10:40.532


They're no good for you.01:10:40.532 --> 01:10:41.515


That's all gotcha, gotcha, yeah.01:10:41.515 --> 01:10:45.502


So I want to look at that app and again your listeners or your viewers.01:10:45.922 --> 01:10:50.760


If they want to know directly from me, then you've got the links.01:10:50.760 --> 01:10:53.326


Um, there's a community on the app.01:10:53.326 --> 01:10:57.042


Uh, we've just installed the community where you can q and a me.01:10:57.042 --> 01:10:59.854


Uh, unfortunately, people can't talk to each other.01:10:59.854 --> 01:11:07.288


So you, you can talk to me or to the team, but you can't talk to each other at this stage.01:11:07.288 --> 01:11:10.823


Uh, we haven't created the system where people are able to share.01:11:10.823 --> 01:11:14.561


You can share comments, but you can't dm people.01:11:14.561 --> 01:11:15.264


Does that make sense?01:11:16.186 --> 01:11:19.194


it, yeah, it does, and I think that's actually better.01:11:19.194 --> 01:11:24.064


Yes, just to keep it safer yeah, definitely, I agree with you on that.01:11:24.064 --> 01:11:26.488


So let me just ask you.01:11:27.115 --> 01:11:35.130


I want to ask you a quick question so say I am at a bar for karaoke and this guy starts talking to me.01:11:35.130 --> 01:11:42.929


He's kind of cute, but you know it's at a bar and everybody tells you don't ever date anybody from this bar.01:11:42.929 --> 01:11:45.282


But then you also hear stories.01:11:45.282 --> 01:11:50.900


I met him at the bar, we're getting married, you know so, but you can't like how.01:11:50.900 --> 01:11:53.027


How would you say I have a question for you?01:11:53.027 --> 01:11:54.958


Close your eyes.01:11:54.958 --> 01:11:56.823


And I mean that's not going to work.01:11:56.823 --> 01:11:58.787


You can't tell him to close his eyes.01:11:59.416 --> 01:12:01.038


So how do you get?01:12:01.078 --> 01:12:08.738


around that okay, well, you look, for drama's sake, we closed our eyes, we went the breathing technique.01:12:08.738 --> 01:12:11.363


It would look, especially if he's a barman.01:12:11.363 --> 01:12:13.296


You know he's the bartender.01:12:13.296 --> 01:12:18.806


Hey, close your eyes, don't toss in the bottles, I just need a shot, then you.01:12:18.806 --> 01:12:24.164


Then you either need to do it a different way, which could be uh it.01:12:24.164 --> 01:12:25.667


You know you could do it another way.01:12:25.667 --> 01:12:42.896


You could write a note on your phone, pull out the app, let him read, because in the section where I ask the question on the app, I do it vocally, so if it's quiet you can hear it, or he can read it because you've got the auto.01:12:42.896 --> 01:12:49.701


Um, you know, you're not looking at me, you're just listening and you're, you can see the auto text, so it will write it.01:12:49.701 --> 01:12:57.885


You can either send them a voice note sorry, send them a note or you can whisper in their ear and just ask it the way I asked.01:12:57.885 --> 01:13:03.804


You don't worry about the breathing, whatever, because, look, it's going to work at some point at some level.01:13:03.804 --> 01:13:21.104


Okay, yeah, truth is, if he identifies with lion for you, for you, for example, lion, tamer or lion, you know, it's a dead, dead in the water if you identify with something that's kind of and you've got the app, remember, you're sliding, you can see, oh, let me just, uh, let me, oh, I just need to go to the loo.01:13:21.104 --> 01:13:25.221


And you go to the toilet or the bathroom or the whatever you call it in the states.01:13:25.221 --> 01:13:31.740


You go to the um, the ladies and you, and you pull out the app and you go, I said a still walker, what the hell is still walker.01:13:31.740 --> 01:13:36.006


And you look it up and you go, oh, yeah, it's a six.01:13:36.006 --> 01:13:37.929


Oh, it's a six okay.01:13:37.929 --> 01:13:39.617


Oh, I'm a four, that's a ten.01:13:39.617 --> 01:13:40.881


Yeah, that's a ten.01:13:40.881 --> 01:13:42.685


Oh, okay, that's balanced.01:13:42.987 --> 01:13:47.918


Good, you look at his main positive traits.01:13:47.918 --> 01:13:49.802


They, they resonate with yours.01:13:49.802 --> 01:14:00.747


Okay, now we've got a conversation starter, we can go back and we can start talking about things that are important to you that you know are going to resonate with him.01:14:00.747 --> 01:14:04.404


Remember, you're able to seduce him.01:14:04.404 --> 01:14:06.320


This is key, by the way.01:14:06.320 --> 01:14:12.028


You're able to seduce him by knowing what he is about.01:14:12.028 --> 01:14:20.529


Now, that's a very key situation here, because you, as the woman, are able to direct the situation.01:14:20.529 --> 01:14:23.564


In other words, you're able to tap into his vulnerability.01:14:23.564 --> 01:14:30.969


His vulnerability is the positives in his character traits, not his negatives.01:14:30.969 --> 01:14:38.462


So you're able to say, okay, I'm really family orientated, I really do this and I do this at weekends.01:14:38.462 --> 01:14:39.163


What about you?01:14:39.163 --> 01:14:48.627


Oh God, that's what I like doing, yeah, and you can create the environment that works and seduce the relationship.01:14:48.627 --> 01:15:02.770


In other words, look, when I coach clients and I'm sure you do it as well the most important element in finding your ideal partner is recognition, recognizing them.01:15:03.951 --> 01:15:18.601


Yeah, the most important is directing the dynamic, because nobody knows how good you are to another person or how well you would be together, other than you selling yourself.01:15:18.601 --> 01:15:27.365


If you go to an interview, you don't sit there quiet, ask me questions, okay, and you say, look, you know.01:15:27.365 --> 01:15:31.457


Okay, I appreciate you know you're asking me questions, but what can your business offer me?01:15:31.457 --> 01:15:40.090


Yeah, and the interviewer actually goes ah, ok, we've got a great candidate here, because they're not just sitting there waiting for me to direct this.01:15:40.090 --> 01:15:44.216


They want to be part of the dynamic.01:15:44.216 --> 01:15:55.978


So it's important to actually open the door to conversation and help generally men recognize what they are possibly going to lose by not dating you.01:15:55.978 --> 01:15:58.662


Because you said you fancy the guy.01:15:58.662 --> 01:16:00.327


Yeah, you like the look of the guy.01:16:00.327 --> 01:16:02.399


It isn't just a case of you going up to him.01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:04.445


Rejection is going to happen easily.01:16:04.445 --> 01:16:15.009


You need to be able to open a door with a conversation, and then you need to be able to continue that conversation with something that he is going to feel comfortable about gotcha?01:16:15.250 --> 01:16:16.492


yeah, definitely.01:16:16.671 --> 01:16:25.597


So that's where the strategy comes there's a lot of layers, there's a lot of layers, and the strategy that comes into it is quite important.01:16:25.597 --> 01:16:36.364


I mean, you know, it's not as simple as oh, he's a stilt walker, that's a six, I'm a four, perfect, even if you, you can explain, you can even show them the app.01:16:36.364 --> 01:16:37.850


Okay, these are your traits, are they?01:16:37.850 --> 01:16:40.600


And he'll say oh, yeah, yeah, you know what that is me.01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:43.971


You're half selling the relationship, aren't you?01:16:43.971 --> 01:16:45.899


You're kind of look.01:16:46.461 --> 01:16:48.329


You know that's the selfie where we look together.01:16:48.329 --> 01:16:52.280


You know we look great together and all your friends are saying on social media you look like a couple.01:16:52.280 --> 01:16:53.583


Do you know what I mean?01:16:54.627 --> 01:16:55.408


Yes, I do.01:16:56.015 --> 01:17:01.347


And I think it's important to have that opportunity, especially as a woman.01:17:01.347 --> 01:17:03.661


I mean, bridget Jones would have loved an app like this.01:17:05.586 --> 01:17:08.646


No, I have not seen her show.01:17:08.646 --> 01:17:09.853


I've got to watch it?01:17:09.872 --> 01:17:10.295


Oh, you haven't.01:17:10.295 --> 01:17:11.537


Is it like two or?01:17:11.578 --> 01:17:14.185


three or four, four came out.01:17:14.185 --> 01:17:15.597


So, yeah, you need to see.01:17:15.597 --> 01:17:17.221


Well, yeah, I mean, do you know what I?01:17:17.221 --> 01:17:17.603


I?01:17:17.603 --> 01:17:23.845


I really I relate to it because a lot of my clients relate to bridget jones.01:17:23.845 --> 01:17:38.685


Yeah, because I coach mainly women and they're always saying, look, I'm the one you know, I'm the one at the wedding, not the one getting married, or I'm the one that got married and got divorced, or I'm the single mother and I can't find a partner that's, you know, worthy of me.01:17:38.685 --> 01:17:41.587


And the reality is be the best version of yourself.01:17:41.587 --> 01:17:44.811


Yes, and there are lots of ways to achieve that.01:17:44.811 --> 01:17:54.921


You know, don't accept nothing for the sake of nothing, but be the best version of yourself and you will attract the best version for you.01:17:54.921 --> 01:17:58.746


You know I agree, yeah.01:17:58.826 --> 01:18:13.648


I agree as a coach, um, people say to me yeah, but you know I don't want to be so full on and pushy and whatever you don't have to be, you'll attract your perfect partner by being their perfect vision.01:18:13.648 --> 01:18:19.488


Whatever that vision is, if they're not worthy of you, then you haven't lost anything, have you?01:18:20.496 --> 01:18:22.137


nope, you haven't.01:18:22.137 --> 01:18:32.470


So even when you're going out dating and you plan another date, you're still in that learning phase too.01:18:32.470 --> 01:18:41.506


So I always look at what communication Can they communicate, like we did when we were just now meeting.01:18:41.506 --> 01:18:44.235


Has anything changed, you know?01:18:44.235 --> 01:18:54.324


And then maybe, knowing that characteristic that they carry, you know, I hate to say the whys and I just need to move that along.01:18:54.324 --> 01:18:56.859


If it doesn't work, it does not work.01:18:56.859 --> 01:18:59.926


Thank you, god, because you know what.01:18:59.926 --> 01:19:06.564


You just stopped me from investing my time into somebody who's not going to even care.01:19:06.564 --> 01:19:09.957


So that is a blessing and I'm going to take it as that.01:19:09.957 --> 01:19:14.806


So, but you know, a lot of people do go through this.01:19:14.806 --> 01:19:15.849


Yeah, I do.01:19:17.114 --> 01:19:20.961


Dating relationships are painful Not always, but they're painful.01:19:20.961 --> 01:19:23.601


I've been there, I've been heartbroken several times.01:19:23.601 --> 01:19:33.175


Luckily I'm still friends with several of my exes and I've asked them the question question and I've identified why it went wrong.01:19:33.175 --> 01:19:48.029


And it's interesting because I I can identify why we were compatible to a certain extent, but I can also identify absolutely why we went different directions yes now something I'll give you.01:19:48.109 --> 01:19:51.703


I'm I'm going to give you something as a takeaway which is important.01:19:51.703 --> 01:19:58.354


X's are an X for a reason.01:19:58.354 --> 01:20:00.516


Look forward to the upgrade.01:20:00.516 --> 01:20:03.881


Yes, you don't downgrade your phone.01:20:03.881 --> 01:20:07.826


Always upgrade your X Upgrade it yeah.01:20:08.787 --> 01:20:09.648


Look at what you had.01:20:09.648 --> 01:20:11.490


Thank you very much.01:20:11.490 --> 01:20:15.016


Like you said, thank you, god.01:20:15.016 --> 01:20:16.622


Whatever I I had, however good it was, it was good enough.01:20:16.622 --> 01:20:18.166


But now it's not good enough to be there.01:20:18.496 --> 01:20:20.681


Listen, thankfully I've not been cheated on.01:20:20.681 --> 01:20:26.819


Thankfully I've not been um in a bad relationship where I had to get out.01:20:26.819 --> 01:20:28.262


These are the proper relationships.01:20:28.262 --> 01:20:37.032


Yeah, you know the marriage and engagement relationships, uh, where I felt I needed to get away and to the point where I hate my partner.01:20:37.032 --> 01:20:38.576


It's never been that way.01:20:38.576 --> 01:20:39.618


I've had a lot of respect.01:20:39.658 --> 01:20:46.521


We've broken up respectfully, but when you break up, you don't upgrade because the other person was not good enough.01:20:46.521 --> 01:20:53.413


You upgrade because you look forward to where you are going, your, your journey of upgrading, yeah, yeah, exactly.01:20:53.413 --> 01:20:57.405


So you upgrade yourself to upgrade better, just like you do with your phone.01:20:57.405 --> 01:21:02.747


You know you'd never go back to an iPhone 4 or Google 2 or 3, whatever they used to be.01:21:02.747 --> 01:21:04.239


You know you'd never do that.01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:05.712


So why would you be in a relationship?01:21:05.712 --> 01:21:08.203


So just cut and move on.01:21:08.203 --> 01:21:18.046


Reminisce if you have to, but you know what, when you find yourself in that perfect relationship for you, ultimately you will look back and go.01:21:18.046 --> 01:21:25.668


I'm only here because of my previous experiences and I would never go back, and I'll give you a good one.01:21:25.668 --> 01:21:29.320


There's that story about the blue door and the red door.01:21:29.320 --> 01:21:36.925


Would you have the red door with the 10 million, 10 million pounds or 10 million dollars red door?01:21:36.925 --> 01:21:44.546


Or would you have the blue door and be 20, 20, be your 20 year old self again, knowing what you know now?01:21:44.546 --> 01:21:45.729


What would you do?01:21:49.000 --> 01:22:05.301


I would probably do be myself back when I was younger, honestly I know why because it's huh because you haven't got to that relationship that you if you had, if you had your perfect relationship right this minute, you wouldn't go back.01:22:05.301 --> 01:22:11.725


You'd have your 20, I would take the money hey, that's where I am, so I'd have, I I've got.01:22:11.725 --> 01:22:17.395


You know, I'm not saying I've got, but I've got the 20 million and I'm with my relationship and my kids and I'm happy.01:22:17.395 --> 01:22:34.029


If you go back to your 20 year old self, you haven't got your daughter oh well yeah, you're thinking about right, yeah so what we want really is to be our best possible future, which is more important.01:22:35.137 --> 01:22:40.439


I mean listen, if it looks like 20, 30 years younger and you know less wrinkles and whatever.01:22:40.439 --> 01:22:40.780


Why not?01:22:40.780 --> 01:22:43.243


But at the same time I don't want to lose my family.01:22:46.076 --> 01:22:47.060


Yeah, I hear you.01:22:48.154 --> 01:22:52.586


Tony Robbins says experiences happen for you, not to you.01:22:52.586 --> 01:22:53.708


Oh, I like that yeah.01:22:53.729 --> 01:22:54.872


Um experiences happen for you, not to you.01:22:54.891 --> 01:22:56.796


Oh, I like that, yeah, they happen for you.01:22:56.796 --> 01:22:57.418


It's a lesson.01:22:57.418 --> 01:23:03.578


So let's learn the lesson move forward gracefully if you're a woman, respectfully if you're a man.01:23:03.578 --> 01:23:06.345


Yeah, definitely, feminists.01:23:06.345 --> 01:23:07.506


That feisty feminine is.01:23:07.506 --> 01:23:08.756


It's not attractive.01:23:08.756 --> 01:23:10.681


Men don't like that feisty femme.01:23:10.681 --> 01:23:12.735


I want you to be a graceful female.01:23:12.735 --> 01:23:17.765


Yes, strong, yes, autonomous for me anyway, but not feisty.01:23:17.765 --> 01:23:20.296


Stop with the middle finger and profiles.01:23:20.677 --> 01:23:23.743


Oh gosh yeah, that's not classy to me.01:23:23.944 --> 01:23:52.823
