How to find the right woman? Let me tell you something. I used to settle in relationships because I lacked confidence, self-esteem, leadership, and never felt good about myself. I thought being in a relationship would fix that. So, I dated the first woman who showed up, despite being only โ€˜kind ofโ€™ attracted to her. Big mistake. Donโ€™t get me wrong. The first few weeks and months of being with her were pretty good. But soon enough, the relationship became toxic and I ended up feeling a lot worse. In this post, I want to share with you a couple of things I did to change, including the best tips on how to find the right woman. โ€œWithout a Code of Conduct you are a chameleon of a manโ€ โ€“ Bruce Bryans. And thatโ€™s exactly who I was. I would never admit at the time but I was a man who โ€˜changed colorsโ€™, hoping that people would like me. And I, very rarely, if ever, stood up for myself or spoke my mind. Thatโ€™s until I stumbled on a book by Bruce Bryans called What Women Want In A Man. This book contains a ton of useful and practical information. What really resonated with me is the part about why a man should have a Code of Conduct to live his life by. what women want in a man bruce bryansWithin six months of writing my Code of Conduct and living it every day, I found myself being the man I always wanted to be. When it came to the women I liked, I stopped putting them on a pedestal and didnโ€™t feel the need to impress them or get them to like me. In fact, it was the complete opposite; women were trying to impress me and often made the first move.

The List

If you donโ€™t define what it is you want by narrowing down your options, youโ€™ll always get what it is you donโ€™t really want. When it comes to attracting the right woman, sheโ€™ll never show up on your radar because youโ€™ll have no idea what she really looks like or how she behaves โ€“ Bruce Bryans

I dated several very attractive women but none of them was the right fit for me. It was like having a high paying executive job with a swanky office view but never enjoyed it because youโ€™re always in a meeting or buried neck deep in deadlines. I asked myself: What do I really want in a woman and a relationship? I soon figured out that if I was to attract the right woman, I had to know what she looked like, how she behaved, her age, hobbies and interests, values, beliefs, and so on. This is where writing my List helped. writing down list ย  I drew a line down a sheet of paper. On one side I wrote what I wanted. On the other side, I wrote all the things I didnโ€™t want or that were negotiable. I looked at my list every day until it got to the point where I knew exactly what she looked like and who she was. It might sound corny but I would imagine what it felt like to hang out with her, kiss her, make love to her, and wake up next to her.

Got Out Of My Comfort Zone

I knew having a list was pointless if I won't be working my ass off, get out of my comfort zone, and do new and exciting things. So, I wrote another listโ€“ a list of activities, interests, and hobbies Iโ€™ve always wanted to do but had been making excuses not to. Once I did that, I wrote a promise to myself that Iโ€™d make time to do these activities and start creating a compelling life and lifestyle for myself. One of those interests was going to the Farmerโ€™s Market every Sunday. Iโ€™m a massive fan of โ€˜Street Foodโ€™ and enjoy browsing the many interesting and sometimes quirky stalls. It was at a bookstall that she walked into my life and Iโ€™ll never forget it. I completed my purchase of books, turned around to leave, and bumped into her, although I argue to this day, she bumped into me. Anyway, my books went flying everywhere. โ€œHey, howโ€™s things?โ€ I said to her as if I already knew who she was, which of course I did. Her response was similar, โ€œNot bad, thanks. How are you? By the way, I love Robert Frost.โ€ That night we met up for drinks and have been together ever since.
