longevity Are you living in a place that feels like your home?
I want you to look around your house, and I want you to ask yourself: if my dream girl came over today, would this house represent who I am? Is this furniture a statement of who I am? Is the artwork that’s on the wall a statement of who I am?
Is the lawn furniture in the living room a statement of who you are? (Those are for those of you that never really decided to get a couch.) Does your bathroom resemble who you are? Does your bedroom resemble who you are? Do some of you live in a place that you used to live with your ex, and all her stuff is still around because you were too lazy to get rid of it?
Where you live represents very much who you are. Are you living in a neighborhood that represents who you are? Are there enough things to do in your neighborhood that keep you busy? Are there enough people like yourself that you can meet? Is there a market that you go to in your neighborhood that you really enjoy? Does your neighborhood represent who you are?
Does your city represent who you are? Do you enjoy where you live? Are you proud to say you live in that area? Does it represent the lifestyle that you want? Is it the climate that you want? I want you to take a look at where you live today, and I want you to ask yourself: is this where I want to be? Am I around people that I want to meet? Am I living in an area that I’m proud of? Am I living in an area that I really enjoy?
If the answers are too often “no”, then I encourage you to move to an area that inspires answers that are more often “yes”.
Being really happy with where you live and living in a place that really represents who you are as a person, is a big step in meeting like-minded people that you can date and enjoy. So look around your surrounding and ask yourself: do I live in a shantytown with people that I do not connect with or do I live in the place of my dreams? Your choice.

Couldn’t agree more with your dating tips for men, David. Women are attracted not just to men who know how to use good pickup lines, but men who have a full identity. Women like the whole package, but I think that we as men need to strive for this not just to impress women, but for our own self-fulfillment and growth. Rock on!
