"SINGLE
: NOTHING BUT CONFUSION
IN MODERN DATING GAME"
SOUL
(MATE) SEARCHING To be single and dating today is to
know true despair. Why does relating to the opposite sex
seem so impossible?
...
"That is where it gets complicated", says Renee
Piane, owner of LOVEWORKS, a dating and personal
coaching company in Brentwood.
"Most
people walk around with the fantasy of what they want, but
it's not in line with their heart and soul," says Piane,
who interviewed hundreds of singles over six years for a
cable television show. "You have to look at the spirit
of the other person, which makes you look at your own spirit.
A lot of people don't want to do that. They don't want to
go that deep.
"Add
to the strain the changing roles between men and women,
and it's a wonder anybody makes it to the altar these days,"
says Piane, who has never been married.
"It's
harder today because women are so much more independent,
and the men don't know what their role is and they'll confused,"
she says.
"The
women of the world need to realize that we have shifted.
We've become a more powerful and commanding presence, very
much like men. I think both men and women need to send out
vibrations of openness. People get so weary."
'WHAT
MEN REALLY WANT'
"You
ladies have to flirt with men!" the petite Piane rises
out of her chair and yells!
"Men
are stimulated by your beauty," coaxes Piane. "But,
this is LA, home to the most beautiful and unapproachable
women in the world. Men get rejected and rejected. Be loving!
Be friendly to everyone! Men will feel safe."
