Divorce: The First Six Months with Peter Maestrey

In this episode I speak about dating, and dating apps. What it is like to participate when you are not a stud muffin, just an ordinary guy, a strong six in my mind. I only say that because I hear stories from my lady friends, and it seems the nice guys finish last statement rings true when you are too nice and not good looking. Dating in today's age requires good looks for good responses, for the most part.
The amount of thinking that goes into building a profile, the results, and the consistent growing that happens with or without your desire for it. Well, it takes time to get to when you are below a solid seven. So much has changed around getting to the actual date, which is why I decided to speak up about it. I have started my process into the dating world, so I hope to vomit my thoughts onto you, the listener, in hopes that you can evade my pitfalls.
I will say this about the process. When you do get to be on a date, or have a conversation that you can go home with, and feel good about. It makes the learning curve all worth it. Regardless of whether you have sparks with the person. Just being with another human is a major contribution to you once you begin dating after divorce. So, if you can. Go out on dates, talk to people and enjoy their company. Learn who they are, and who they do not want to be, and do it without placing them in a box.
Don't limit yourself, or miss out on getting to know someone because you are checking boxes for a story you probably adopted from somewhere that is not based on reality. Also, don't catphish, that is just wrong.
