Common Sense is Key

I am in a strong like of this new TV Reality show on VH1 called, “Tough Love”. This is a show using several principles of the book, He’s Just Not That Into You and a helpful therapist with the goal to help the cast of women to find true love however they have to change their destructive behavior in order to get to that point of their lives. I do own the book and actually found it helpful as when I started to officially dating in my late 20s (yes I’m a late bloomer) I was definitely not in the know and now have enough experience to know and understand some of the verbal and nonverbal language.

Seeing many of these women and I wondered if they were serious but they seemed to be that serious, basically thinking they are the cat’s meow and more than a bag of potato chips. The premiere show looked at the ladies’ lives, their past track record and unfortunately each are single.  They learned when a man compliments them to say thank you and don’t try to water it down. I have in the past been guilty of that one, and the guy is not at fault but it is the woman who couldn’t accept the compliments. Having the self-confidence to accept compliments from others and know that you do deserve them. There is nothing wrong with that however do not fish for compliments, and on the show there was indeed one woman who did that with one man, trying to get him to give her compliments. Compliments are suppose to happen naturally, and freely but not forced. I’m excited to see more of what they will talk about in the future episodes.
