| Comment | Ok bit of a Guardian Long read there but here it goes. I was suddenly single at 34. Big shock. She got all the friends too. So here's what I did to build a new life.
1. First: Join a club. I was fencing. Soon I was an instructor and few years later my now wife walked through the door of the club. With swagger and cold steel on my hip she was hooked.
2. Work: Fake jovial carefree attitude and leave at 5.30 EVERY DAY. Unless they are paying you serious money, you go home every night and have a life.
3. Real friends are someone you can turn up with a body in your boot and they grab a shovel. You're only going to get one or two of them in a life time. Once you find them then you remain loyal and stay close as you can.
4. Love: Hunt your unicorn. Trust me they are out there but it's going to take luck and openness to get one home. DON'T SETTLE. My wife is everything I wish I knew I wanted when I was 20.
5. Be awesome. There is nothing more attractive to both men and women as awesomeness. Warrior Philosopher Artist Writer Hunter. The more awesome tales you can tell of life. The easier the clothes come off and the friendships grow deeper.
See not that hard. You just need to throw that reserve in the bin. |
