Ayo Gathing M.D. on LinkedIn: He did it again; this time with Safaree Samuels! I think this new book is… (2024)

LOOKS DON’T MATTER!Well, at least not as the mainstream dating advice wants to make us believe. 👇🏻The average girl doesn’t dream of being with a model.She dreams of being with an average looking guy who has his s**t together, is charismatic, confident and knows how to communicate. 😍Now - this is NOT a good reason to throw your best clothes into the fire and go Forrest Gump mode. 🧔🏻She still wants someone who can take care of himself!But it IS definitely a good reason to stop obsessing over what you don't have and start working on what you can get.👉🏼 You CAN learn how to start a conversation in an authentic and confident way👉🏼 You CAN learn how to flirt👉🏼 You CAN learn how to ask her out👉🏼 And you definitely CAN learn how to make your first date unforgettable.Daily reminder: focus on what matters. ☝🏻P.S. Apologies for the poor audio, the price you have to pay for shooting under the snow ❄️

My last date taught me an invaluable lesson about authenticity. I met this person that was “effortlessly cool”. She was so comfortable in her own skin. She didn’t mind embarrassing herself. She was so easy to be around. Why?She was so authentically herself.And it got me thinking about how the #1 compliment we get about our own marketing is that it’s “authentic”. And how she embodied the litmus test that we and every brand should use to find their own “authentic” voice…Ask yourself, “what feels effortless?” What would you say or do if no one was listening? What doesn’t feel forced?Putting out authentic content (like this for me) should feel uncomfortable. Until it doesn’t. Until you’ve put enough out on the table (like your dating life) for you to create without boundaries.They say vulnerability is key to building an emotional connection when dating. It’s no different when you’re trying to build an emotional connection with your customers. Lead with authenticity and the right customers (and partner) will find you. Who do you think has an authentic voice on LinkedIn that I should follow? 👇

Which Spice Girl did you relate to? 👯♀️Today I’m working from home in my Spice Girl hoodie. I think it’s fair to say any girl of my generation would have had a favourite Spice Girl. As a little blondie, mine was of course Baby Spice! (pic for proof, yes I’ve rocked a bob most of my life, thank god I ditched the fringe 🤣).But why were we so obsessed with them? They were relatable, fun, preached girl power and stood for friendship. 💖So, are you relatable?Whether you’re building your personal brand or selling, we need to be relatable. Marketing experts state that people buy with emotion (which is why nostalgia is so powerful in advertising). If your clients don’t relate to you, you’re at a disadvantage. So put yourself out there to build your personal brand, you can still keep it professional if that’s your style, but make it you.P.S. Girl Power!✌#personalbranding #spiceupyourlife #recruitment

Are you frustrated with the lack of honesty in today's dating scene? Before pointing fingers, ask yourself: are you being honest with yourself? Self-awareness is key to attracting genuine connections. 💭💑 #DatingAdvice #SelfReflection

Top dating tips: When dating we need to understand the rules of attraction.Just as we are attracted to individuals because of an amalgamation of our genes and background history, so too are others attracted (or not attracted) to us due to the same combination of factors. The most important thing when we embark on dating is to remember that not everyone is going to find us attractive, and that is okay. This is easy to say and difficult to carry out, but if we can hold on to the fact that just because someone does not think of us as their ideal partner, that does not mean there is something wrong with us…just that we don’t fit with their background history. Of course, if we experience this disappointment repeatedly, we will assume something is wrong with us, but I will come on to discuss these ideas and how to make sure we are choosing well in the following few blogs.Don't miss the other blogs in this series on dating. #dating #couples #relationships #love #attraction

New Post: The best dating apps to help find a relationship, a hookup, or something in between - https://lnkd.in/gS2WWtAj - Once upon a time, we had to rely on good old luck, wit, and charm to find love. Today, it's a little easier to woo potential partners without putting ourselves out there, out there. Thanks to the ever-evolving landscape of dating and technology, finding love or a quick fling is as simple as downloading a dating app.Dating apps give you the rare opportunity to connect with hundreds of people you wouldn't have known otherwise while also allowing you to explore your sexuality and find out what you want in a partner. Yes, that includes potentially connecting with hundreds of people you'd rather not have known, but we still think that the pros can outweigh the cons in a lot of cases. SEE ALSO: The dating app glossary: The A to Z of terms you need to know Statistapredicts that the online dating audience will grow to53.3 millionby 2025, a leap from 44.2 million users in 2020. It's also becoming more and more common to meet serious, long-term partners on apps. From a 2022 survey, the Pew Research Center found that out of the nearly 6,000 respondents they heard from, one in 10 partnered adults (those who were married, in a long-term relationship, or living together) met through a dating app. Which dating apps actually work?With so many dating apps out there, it's easy to feel confused or overwhelmed by the options. While Match Group (Tinder, Match, Archer, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, and The League, among others) continues to dominate the market, you don't have to limit yourself to just one brand when looking for the best dating app. SEE ALSO: How to stay safe on dating apps First Round’s On Me (FROME), for example, is a newer dating app that's gained popularity for its date invitation feature. Choose a drink, date, time, and venue; the app will send a personalized invitation to your potential match. Once a date is confirmed, it's locked into both users' calendars, and the in-app chat feature is activated 12 hours before the date.Other apps, like Pure and FetLife, cater to people open to ethical, non-monogamous relationships or threesomes. There really is something for everyone out there. SEE ALSO: What do we owe our online dating matches? The best dating apps of 2024Finding the best dating app is purely subjective.
