It's easy to find yourself comparing your attractiveness to others in dating. We compare our looks, our job, our body, our wealth...and we can easily feel like we don't match up.  But people don't fall in love with characteristics. And comparison will always leave us with more anxiety and self-sabotage than learning to love what we have.  In this episode, Matt and Stephen discuss the problem of comparison and what really makes someone fall for you.  ---  Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey ---  ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023 → MHVirtualRetreat.com

(Rewind): What People Really Fall in Love With…

When you’re looking for a partner to have a family with, the pressure of the timeline imposed on you by your biological clock can make the whole process overwhelming. (Not to mention, when you’re fearful that time is running out, you can end up making bad dating choices.)  In this episode, Matthew talks to two experts on fertility: Dr. Serena H. Chen, a fertility doctor, and Dr. Ioana Baiu, a surgeon who’s gone through the egg-freezing process, as we dive deep into the benefits and challenges of family planning, to find out ways you can get your power back when it comes to deciding on when to have children, how to consciously date when you know you want a family, and how to maximize your reproductive options.  ---  ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023 → MHVirtualRetreat.com

210: The Science Of The Biological Clock (And What YOU Can Do About It)

In the aftermath of a toxic or narcissistic relationship, we can lose all sense of self. Whether our partner tried to steal our joy at every opportunity, or they wore down our self-esteem with endless arguments and cold-shoulder treatments . . . the end of a relationship like this will leave us feeling disoriented and lost, and it can be hard to rewire our brains and resume normal life once we’re free.   At this point, it can be unbelievably hard to trust other people again. Logically, we may understand that not everyone’s like our ex . . . but emotionally, we see danger at every turn.   But there is a way we can heal—so we can move on and learn to trust ourselves again. And in today’s episode, I share 3 mindsets that can help you do just that.  --  ►► Begin to Truly Trust Yourself & Believe in Your Own Worth. Learn more About The Matthew Hussey Virtual Retreat. . . → http://www.MHVirtualRetreat.com

(Rewind) Keeping the Attraction Alive in A Relationship

Today I wanted to share a great conversation with special guest Justin Baldoni. He is an actor, a filmmaker, a writer, a speaker, and someone who caught my attention for the work that he was doing to help men, in becoming more vulnerable, in relating differently to their masculinity.   In this episode, we discuss:   Why men are more sensitive than you think  Getting over our trauma  Dealing with conflict  Understanding masculine vs. feminine energy  Getting closure after a relationship   ---  Follow Justin on Instagram @JustinBaldoni  You can also grab Justin's book "Boys Will Be Human" - buy your copy here

209: Unlocking The Truth About Modern Masculinity (with Justin Baldoni)

We all know we won’t connect with everyone we meet . . . but one of the most frustrating situations we can find ourselves in is one where we feel an initial spark and a connection, but things just don’t seem to progress. And in the end, they end up fading as we feel a lack of momentum.  Rather than giving in to our desire to double down on communication, there’s a simple shift we can make on a date that allows unique attraction to grow. And it’s the kind of thing that will leave them thinking of us long after the date has ended . . .

(Matt Monday): Want To Keep Their Attention? DO NOT CHASE; Do THIS Instead

Back in ye olden times, the fear that a partner might be cheating was enough to keep someone up at night. But in recent years, we’ve added a new layer of anxiety to the mix: “micro-cheating,” a.k.a. “back burner relationships.”   In fact, when Psychology Today recently polled people who are in a relationship, 56% revealed they had a back burner person: someone they’re in contact with who could be an option if their current relationship doesn’t go the distance.   That’s not to say that everyone realizes what they’re doing. Many feel it’s harmless—that they’re just being friendly and keeping in touch with a friend.  Today’s episode will give you a simple test to figure out if you’re in a back burner relationship, and provide you with the mindset you need to give your current one its best shot.  --- Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey ---  ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023 → MHVirtualRetreat.com

(Rewind): If You're Thinking About OTHER PEOPLE In A Relationship, Listen To This.

When we like someone, it’s tempting to move fast, let our emotions take over, and simply do what feels good. But in this frenzy of excitement, we can inadvertently end up on a path we don’t want to be on…  In this new episode, I answer a question from someone who didn’t want to repeat the last 2 years of her life, which she spent in a ‘friends with benefits’ situation.   ---  ►► Unlock My Best Solution For Your Current Dating Situation → http://www.YourDatingSolution.com

(Matt Monday): Want More Than A Situationship? DO NOT CHASE; Do THIS Instead

Did you know that men and women respond differently to breakups? My brother Stephen and I talked about recent research that showed differences in how men and women process emotional pain, how long they take to recover from heartbreak, and how likely they are to want to get back together.  Of course, we are all individuals, and our response will also be determined by our own personality and experiences, but it's always interesting to see these general patterns of male and female behaviour and whether they conform with our stereotypes.  What do you think? Have you noticed any of these differences in your own relationships?  ---  Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey  ---  ►► Heal Your Heart & Move on Strong From Your Breakup.

(Matt Monday): Why You Need To Stop The Obsession With Tall Men

We’ve all experienced this relentless form of self-torture . . .   Whether your breakup was two days or two decades ago, you find yourself looking back and wondering how things could’ve turned out had you acted differently. Had you known then what you know today.   Pretty soon, you’re living in the timeline where you didn’t “ruin everything” with that person . . . ultimately punishing yourself over a parallel universe you’ve created in your mind.

We asked you what your biggest fears for the future were, and you answered! No matter how confident we feel, we all have worries about what lies ahead.  The future is unknown. And many of us can’t help but occasionally let our biggest anxieties and worries about where our life is going get the better of us. It could be about your career, your relationships, or anything that keeps you up at night.

206: Your BIGGEST Fears In Life (And How To Overcome Them)

Listening to our gut when something’s off can save us a lot of time and stress when we’re dating . . . but what if we can’t tell the difference between when our gut is warning us and when our anxiety is trying to sabotage us? What if the red flags we think we’re seeing are actually our fears in disguise?   If you have a tendency toward anxiety, this second-guessing can make the early days of dating extra stressful, because you may have a hard time separating an important concern from your ever-vigilant anxiety.   If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me or is it them?” you can’t miss today’s episode, in which I share five ways to tell if it’s a major concern or your anxiety talking.  ---  ►► Stop Doubting Yourself & Start Believing In Your Own Worth Learn More About The Virtual Retreat → http://www.MHVirtualRetreat.com

(Matt Monday): Are They Pulling Away or Are You Just Anxious? 5 Ways to Know

I don’t like it when I hear people say, “You need to be happy first before you find a relationship.”  It’s not that the sentiment is a bad one, but saying to someone who is facing challenges in life that they need to be happy before they can be with someone seems highly unproductive to me.  As if it’s not hard enough being alone when we want to find a partner . . . we now also have to achieve this elusive feeling of happiness before we do?!  I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to be happy before you find a relationship . . .  You just need to be “happy enough.”  ---  If you want to spend 3 days with me creating the conditions for your own happiness, then my next Virtual Retreat of 2023 is coming up fast!

(Matt Monday): Want More From Someone? DO NOT Chase; Do THIS Instead!

Your phone buzzes. It’s a text from them ;)  You can feel your stomach flip over with excitement. Every message they send is like sweet honey for your brain. “Damn”, you think, “I’m an addict.”  And then you fire a cute message back. And you wait...and wait…  “Why aren't they replying?” you want to scream to your friend on the couch next to you. But she’s too busy with her phone to notice.  You try to shift focus, but you obsessively check for a text every 30 seconds.  Sound familiar?  We’ve all had this agony of “anxious waiting” with someone we like. It’s distracting, it’s unattractive, and it drains you of your peace of mind every minute you sit in limbo.  If you’re sick of waiting for his text and want to finally take back your power, listen to this...  ---  ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW → MHVirtualRetreat.com

(Rewind): STOP WAITING For Them To Message And Do THIS Instead

Today, Matt answers a question from a listener who feels she is independent, successful, and ambitious, but is only meeting guys who fit a more "beta" male stereotype (who take the backseat in a relationship), rather than the driven "alpha" guys she would like to meet.   Matt talks about some practical strategies to meet the right kind of person for you, and how to think about the qualities that you value and seek out in a relationship.   ---  Do You Have a Question About Your Love Life?

204: The Allure Of The “Alpha Male”

When everybody seems to have found “their person,” it can make us feel so behind and deeply afraid. This is the very moment we fall prey to saying “yes” to the wrong person, just to put an end to the feeling that we won’t find anyone and will miss our chance at having an amazing relationship.   But choosing temporary comfort is a short game, and as we shrink our view of the world, we lose sight of just how much abundance is waiting for us. In reality, those who are successful in love play the long game—one where they trust they deserve more than a relationship that is inherently not meeting their needs, or simply not right for them.   In today’s new episode, I not only show you how to identify someone who’s wrong for you, but I also share how to take that leap to start fresh and set your love life on the right path.
