Today I was trying to convince my date coaching client to start compartmentalizing. Does anyone know what compartmentalizing means? It has nothing to do with organizing your clothes or making your tiny Manhattan apartment more livable. It is adopting the belief that you have the right to be sexually satisfied without having to be in love with the guy that you are are sleeping with! Read more »
Attention All Women: Learn to Compartmentalize
Manhattan Men Want Barbie But Don’t Look Like Ken..
Manhattan men want Barbie but they sure don’t look like Ken. The outrageous audacity of the “Manhattan Man” never surprises me. This arrogant serial dater has been granted an air of entitlement when it comes to dating in the Big Apple, not as a result of his charm, charisma or overall appealing persona, but only due to the sheer numbers that favor him.

Leave a commentIn NYC Looks Aren’t Enough
I had a date coaching client scheduled earlier this week at the Hudson Hotel. As usual, I was cutting it close by stopping at Starbucks first for my third iced tall double shot of espresso. I prefer to deliver my dating advice with as much liquid enthusiasm as possible. I ran into the lobby of the hotel at 2:03 looking for my 2:00 appointment. As I was searching for the self described “girl next door,” my eyes came across one of the sexiest women I had seen in NYC in a very long time. Our eyes met and I quickly went from “accomplished date coach” to “wanna be single guy.” Yes, yes I know I am married but every once in awhile it’s fun to throw that meaningless sexy smile out to a beautiful Manhattan woman in hopes of receiving a “right back at you smile” just to know I’ve still got it. As I passed her, I flashed my pearly whites and hoped for the best. Well, I was certainly surprised with her reaction. This beautiful creature not only smiled back, but actually knew my name. I stopped dead in my tracks. How did she know me? Was it from my incredibly successful Lifetime Television Show (1) season..oh boy (LOL) probably not. She didn’t seem like the traditional Lifetime viewer. Or, maybe it was from my electrifying early morning CBS Early Show appearances as their dating guru. That was doubtful too, this girl got a lot of beauty rest.

Leave a commentCosmo Mag: The Case Of The "Crazy Ex"
I was waiting for a friend at a restaurant when a beautiful woman asked if she could join me. She sat down and said, “You don’t remember me, do you, Matt?” She looked familiar, but before I could respond, she said, “It’s Belinda, from Philadelphia.” Um, Belinda (not her real name), as in the craziest ex-girlfriend ever? I scanned her body for hidden weapons. You see, even guys who race motorcycles and laugh at Saw VI want to run to Mama when faced with a psycho ex.

When Cosmo calls…I am always here to help! Check out my latest article…
It was 85 degrees at 9 a.m., and I was headed to the pool to cool off. Sud denly, I heard my significant other’s voice coo, “Matt, can you call to board the dogs for Thanksgiving?” Huh? That’s five months away. They’re two 7 -pound Chihuahuas — how much space could they take up at the doggie day spa? Clearly, she was kidding.
I grunted in response and carried on with the day. At noon, she rephrased the request: “Did that number work — the one for the kennel?” Then at dinner, my personal favorite: “So, what did they tell you when you called about boarding the dogs?” This was July. She was talking about November. At this point, I had no choice — it was self -preservation. I pulled out my secret weapon, the one itty- bitty phrase that’s proven to drive her straight up the wall: You’re nagging.

She walks into the coffeeshop and our eyes immediately meet. I almost fall off my chair because this woman is gorgeous. And to make matters worse the universe is definitely trying to screw with me because judging by the look and smile she just gave me, she’s interested.
Did I mention that I’m a happily married man yet? This of course might complicate things… actually it makes this potential minefield quite simple to navigate.
I love my wife, and I will not cheat. Been there, done that. In my past life I made a series of mistakes that left me a divorced man with a wounded and empty soul, that man would have slept with the woman above, most likely five minutes after spotting her walk in to the coffee bar.
So how am I going to escape this cosmic curse of temptation? By following the rules below, they’ll never send you in the wrong direction, I promise.
