A biography for Matthew Husseyhasn’t been written yet.
“Even when I was young, I cared too much about what other people thought, especially girls.”
“Working with guys allowed me to at least understand guys in a way that I could then say to women, 'Look, here's what I've learned about men.'”
“The whole 'Secret' sensation really rubbed me the wrong way; I just don't believe in it. The grain of truth is that what you focus on you'll get more of, and that's got to do with the reticular activating system in your brain, not 'The Secret.'”
“A friend of mine once earnestly said to his girlfriend, 'You look so pretty tonight,' and she replied, 'You're such a dork.' Her deflection was a total turn-off. It didn't make him feel attractive, nor did it encourage him to keep complimenting her.”
“Love is closeness.”
“The need to make sure everyone knows all of the great stuff about us is usually an insecurity in itself.”
“Guys don't get as many physical compliments as women do. Tell him his CrossFit habit is paying off. He'll work double time to impress you.”
“If you find yourself annoyed at his lazy tendencies early on, be wary - because that's one trait of his that won't magically change when he gets a better job or finally joins that gym.”
“By getting hurt, you might realize that what you thought you wanted and needed wasn't actually right for you. And that's a lesson only heartbreak and pain can teach you.”
“Too many people say they want someone extraordinary in their lives but they aren't extraordinary themselves.”
“Quite simply, if someone tells you often that they're dreaming of, or thinking about, you, it means you're someone they see as a big part of their life. When you're in their head, it means you're also pretty close to their heart.”
“When someone feels truly in love, they feel certain. That means they lose any commitment-phobia and will want to find ways to bring you closer together.”
“Women often try too hard to say what they think a man wants to hear, to like what he likes, to laugh at every joke, and get so nervous talking about themselves that nothing interesting comes out.”
“Any online dating profile is about making us more human, more three-dimensional.”
“Women leave my seminars with a level of confidence they didn't have before. They can go out, meet people, start conversations and have a good time. They don't have to worry about waiting for someone great to come along as they know they have the tools to make it happen.”
“People en masse have lost the ability to go out there and meet people in real life.”
“So many books are designed to help you with your love life spend their time telling you what you can't do. What I love about 'Get The Guy' is it spends the majority of its time telling you what you can do.”
“Choose a guy who has a similar level of drive as you. There's nothing sexy about being your boyfriend's life coach.”
“One of the classic mistakes is we think if we get closer to someone by just listening to all of their relationship woes, we're going to suddenly end up romantically involved.”
“Think of your early dates as a chance to leave clues about your expectations with a little technique called pre-framing. Say: 'My friend gets annoyed because her boyfriend never opens the car door for her. It's a shame when guys don't do those little things.'”
