Relationship Timeline: Men VS Women

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Finding Love | 2 Comments

There are huge inherent differences between the relationship timelines of men and women. So as women, we need to know why the timelines are different and what it means for you. Here’s the truth: Men can father children pretty much throughout their whole lives. The world record holder for the oldest man to father a child is a 93 year old Indian farmer. Imagine that! To us women, that concept can be so foreign because we have our womb and our ovaries, and they do have an expiry date for doing the job of bearing children successfully. We are…

If You Never Initiate, You Will Lose the High Value Men

By Renee Wade | All, Attraction, Commitment, Confidence, Finding Love | 21 Comments

😳 Conversation is getting a wee bit silly over in our Facebook group. I have seen some folks suggesting many times to “never initiate” when dating men. Where do I even start with this? If you’re going to latch on to a principle, that’s fine, but let’s get our definitions straight first, because initiating is clearly getting confused with chasing. Initiate = cause a process or action to begin Chase = pursue in order to catch or catch up with Let’s use our thinking caps – we aren’t mindless women following dogma about what it means to be “feminine” without…

Polyamory: 10 Reasons Why It Would Never Work Long-Term

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Finding Love, Relationship Issues | 6 Comments

There are 10 good reasons Why Polyamory would Never Work Long-Term… yes I will probably get some flack from the poly communities, but put your thinking cap on and hear me out as to why polyamory isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Polyamorous relationships are getting more and more popular each day. Social media and dating apps has changed the way we date and find a partner. It’s caused our culture to value distractions, selfishness and instant gratification rather than real emotional connection. It’s caused us to treat the opposite sex like candy, and as an avenue through which…

How Your Refusal to Grieve Makes You A ‘One of Many’ Type of Woman

By Renee Wade | All, Attraction, Commitment, Finding Love | 18 Comments

💔💔 I know many of us have been burned by a man (or men) in the past. However, it’s one thing to grieve, process and appreciate exactly what happened in our past – coming out of that experience more aware, emotionally calibrated to men and better at protecting our investment with men in the future. It’s another to refuse to grieve, process and feel – instead choosing to blame the male gender overall for being sh*t. That approach, though easy, just leads to gutlessness and invulnerability. It also leads to resentment and defensiveness, killing our chances of showing up high…

The Women Men Commit to Versus the Women Men Leave

By Renee Wade | Commitment, Relationship Issues | 2 Comments

Let me share something important with you. There is a huge difference between the types of women that men commit to, versus the types of women that men leave. And the difference is not what you think it is. I used to know this woman who was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Everywhere she went, she turned heads. On top of that, she had a great bubbly personality, so all the guys loved to talk and interact with her. Yet, all throughout her life, she kept attracting men and relationships that were subpar, damaging, and even toxic! She had a boyfriend…

4 Steps to Stay High Value when He Doesn’t Text or Call

By Renee Wade | All, Attraction, Confidence | 6 Comments

There’s nothing worse than feeling emotionally invested in a man, and in the outcome of your relationship, only to find that he doesn’t text or call you back. The anger, the disbelief and the pain you can feel when you’re in this situation is horrible. Let me first assure you that you are not alone. You are not the only one experiencing this. So, what can you do if the guy you want isn’t calling or texting back? What can you do to help yourself in such a difficult and sometimes painful situation? First of all, you need to know…

Is He Serious About You or Just “Interested”? Critical Distinction.

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Finding Love | 4 Comments

Is he just “interested” or is he serious about you? There is a big difference between when a man is just interested in you, VERSUS when he’s serious about you. To know the difference is absolutely important for you as a woman, and here is why. A man could be interested in you for so many different reasons. Many of those reasons could be for his own gain and if so, a man’s interest is kind of cheap. And because of that, the interest that he may initially show you can often disappear overnight as well. So interest isn’t actually…

Why Men Don’t Put More Effort into the Relationship?

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Relationship Issues | 8 Comments

It’s frustrating when men don’t put much effort into the relationship right? You can complain about it. You can get angry about it. You can call all men lazy or you can inspire him to want to make the effort by what I’m about to share with you. So why DON’T men put more effort into relationships? Why do they have such resistance sometimes when it comes to dating & relationships? Well, let me tell you why.It’s because most men are not only terrible at understanding, feeling and relating to women – they are not intuitively driven to create intimate…

10 Telltale Signs He Is A Highly Evolved, Deeply Masculine Alpha Male

By Renee Wade | All, Attraction, Commitment, Finding Love | 8 Comments

10 Telltale Signs he is a Highly Evolved, Deeply Masculine Alpha Male OMG, OK, so listen to this. There I was… on a cold winter night in the dodgy end of town. I wouldn’t come to this part of town even during the day, let alone at night, but anyway. I was there with my husband and two of his guy friends. We were all in our twenties back then, so we were youngish. David had gotten some free tickets to some local kickboxing and MMA fights, and I had never watched fights live before, so I thought I would…

10 Seemingly Harmless Signs of a Toxic Relationship

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Relationship Issues | 13 Comments

Let me tell you a seemingly harmless, but really toxic story. Imagine two young and healthy people get together, a man and a woman. They are both very physically attractive (above average in looks in fact) and they both have decent jobs. On the surface, everyone, even their peers, think that they have a good marriage and above average lifestyle. They make good money and look good together too. They have everything in front of them. They’re building a car wash business together, and together they have a whole lifetime ahead of them. About their personalities. One of them seems…

3 Undercover Ways to be More High Value Over Other Women & Get Him to Choose You

By Renee Wade | All, Attraction, Confidence | 21 Comments

I know right? That title is soooo preposterous! Well, if it’s preposterous then so be it. There’s nothing wrong with secretly wanting to compete with other women. In fact, intra-sexual competition is alive and well. In other words, women are always competing with other women, and the same goes with men. The only difference is, us women mostly compete in much more covert and behind your back kind of ways than men do. And there’s no shame in recognising that. To compete doesn’t mean you’re not a feminine woman. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. In fact, the more…

10 Ultimate Signs of a Healthy Relationship

By Renee Wade | All, Confidence, Finding Love, Relationship Issues | 13 Comments

“You can’t handle the fact that you hurt me!” David said to me as we argued. “What? Um, hellooo. I’m the master of handling stuff”, I thought. “YES, I can handle it!” I said to him. “No, you can’t.” He said. “You cannot handle the fact that you hurt me.” Sigh. “What exactly do you need from me?”, I asked. We were in the car, he was driving us to the grocery store and I said something that had hurt him, but I didn’t think it was a big deal. I tried to brush off what I said. Meh. I…

When He Stops Chasing You & Being Romantic: What To Do?

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Relationship Issues | 25 Comments

Hi Renee & David, I really need your opinion on this. Everyone else I’ve talked to has more or less asked me to fight fire with fire, and I’m not really that kind of a human. So, my man and I, we’ve been in a relationship for some time now (is almost 3 years long enough?) and he was/is a masculine at his core. So far, however you’ve described a masculine man, he fits that description to a T. I try to understand that he has that drive in him, the ambition to achieve his goals and I understand that…

5 Unusual Signs He Is Madly In Love With You

By Renee Wade | All | 28 Comments

“There’s two things you need to know”, Grandma said. 1: A man in love with you will move mountains for you. 2: Never lose hope that he is out there, because there is a man out there who will love you that much. I wanted to add a 3rd thing to that: 3: You can inspire almost any man to love you this much through putting the connection and attraction first. Any woman who has a man madly in love with her has knowingly or unknowingly inspired that love from him, through the basic principles that create emotional attraction and…

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Finding Love | 19 Comments

Article updated 2018 “Become the kind of person that other people want to love.” This seems like such a weird statement to make. Shouldn’t we just be loved for who we are? Well, here’s the truth: What makes someone love you more is essentially also what fosters a beautiful connection with them. So by putting even just 1 or 2 of these unusual tips to use, you are not only potentially inspiring a man to love you more, you are actually becoming more and more skillful at creating deep connection with men (and secretly, with any human!). And that’s what…
