We just finished another bootcamp for women in Chicago and are about to head to New York City for another one for men this friday-saturday, and I have to tell you how one thing strikes me: so often, men think that they have to be perfect in so many ways - perfect at their dating skills, finding the perfect woman to marry, and after a tough time of a long relationship or the absence of a dating life on the other end o

On the way to London recently to train women at how to attract, date and form quality relationships with quality men who are right for them, I came across some stunning actual scientific findings from evolutionary psychology. In fact, the results were so rigorous and convincing that it seemed that they would surely shoot holes in what I was about to teach. After all, women worldwide want to find what works for them to become more accomplished in the area, to actually have some control and power over their lives.

Words are important. What they mean and how we use them can get you a job, or send you into bankruptcy. They can cause the end of a date to find you in the arms of a man, or trudging home in the cold, bitterly. They can even make the difference between living for years in a certainty that you are no good, worthless, a loser who is never going to win the career, the man, or the life you dare not think you deserve, and actually having those things.

If you didn't believe words were important in this way, you likely wouldn't be reading this magazine.
