If you’ve been getting excited about the new “Sex and the City” movie, this is for you. In fact, if you’re a big SATC fan, you’ll remember the classic “Modelizer” episode from Season 1.
The modelizer is the crazy character who would only date models. Guess what? Yours truly landed the “Modelizer”… and I’m not even a model!
The lesson here is no matter who you are or where you live, there are easy ways to boost your irresistible charm. Here are six secrets that helped me land the man of my dreams:
1. Quit Complaining
Many women spend more time complaining about men than actually dating them! Want to turbo boost your irresistibility factor? Be a complaint free zone. That means no complaining about the weather, your job, your body or anything else - whether aloud or in your thoughts.
2. Burn Your Perfect Man Checklist
If you can’t find a guy with the right job, age, income, ethnicity or hair color, chances are you’ve fallen victim to using a Perfect Man Checklist. You know… a list of criteria any man must have before you’ll even consider dating him. The problem with the Perfect Man Checklist is that it’s often an unconscious compilation of ideals and mental pictures of “perfect men” we absorbed growing up. These narrow parameters from our past cut us off from boatloads of loving, single and available men that could be fantastic partners today.
*NOTE: Burning your Perfect Man Checklist does NOT mean your man won’t have the qualities you want (like honesty, loyalty or a sense of humor). It just means he may show up in a different “package” than you expect.
3. Ignite Your Naughty Factor
In the midst of our busy, fast-paced lives, women’s sex lives can often take a back seat. It’s essential for our spiritual and emotional well-being to keep our “sexy” in shape. The way to wake up our sensual irresistibility is to proactively ignite our naughty factor. Take a pole dancing class, wear sexy underwear to work, or buy some erotic fiction. Find ways to strengthen your naughty muscles and stay in irresistible sexual shape.
4. Date for Fun - Not to Find “The One”
These days, dating is often full of pressure and anxiety. Let go of trying to find “Mr. Right” and make FUN the focus of each date (what a concept!). Have an adventure. Laugh. Be silly. Let your true irresistible nature shine through. Remember, on any date you can either be miserable or have a good time. The choice is always yours. *NOTE: This FUN idea applies to couples too!
5. Chuck The Rules
I say rules, shmules. Most dating rules are either someone else’s truth that you’ve adopted as your own OR they’re an old decision you made in the past when you were upset. Either way, rules pollute the present moment with obsolete information from our past. Know this: you can break every rule in the book when you are centered, clear and in touch with your authentic irresistibility.
6. Be Present
Be fully present in whatever you’re doing. This is especially true on dates. Turn off your iPhone, Blackberry or cell phone unless it’s absolutely necessary to keep it on. Give the man you’re with the divine gift of your full, undivided attention. There is nothing more irresistible than a vibrantly alive, fully present woman.
The real secret to being irresistible is to be completely and unapologetically you, exactly as you are.
Most of us grossly underestimate our intrinsic beauty and the powerful difference we make in the world. Trust me, you are more beautiful, attractive and irresistible than you’ll ever know.
Have you ever gotten stuck being “reasonable” about life?
A few weeks ago I almost got snookered. Here’s what happened.
I was speaking to a group of entrepreneurs about productivity and well-being at a conference in Walt Disney World, Orlando Florida. I was thrilled to share the power of transformation as it relates to productivity, wealth and well-being.
Being a gal who likes to balance business and pleasure, I built fun time into the last day of my trip. Since my flight back to NYC wasn’t until 5PM, I had time for rollercoasters and Mickey before heading home.
On Sunday morning I woke up at 8:30AM and headed down to the concierge desk to find out my options.
A few months ago I did an awesome Podcast on how to get in shape for your wedding (or any big event coming up!) with the fabulous Holli Ehrlich of the Wedding Podcast Network.
It’s chock full of great fitness advice and you can listen and download here.
Holli and her team are amazing and I’m so very honored to be included on their show. We also recorded an amazing Podcast on Make Every Man Want You that will be out soon as well.
Holli has great resources on her site so be sure to check them out!

Today is a VERY special day. Want to know why? Because it’s my BIRTHDAY. (Yay for me!!!)
But before I head out to celebrate, I wanted to share an idea with you that’s been dear to my heart lately. It’s brought me countless miracles and once you “get it”, the impact on your life will be truly priceless.
If you’ve ever wanted to live a bigger, fuller, more expansive life - but feel stuck by time or money, read on…
***************************************
Have you ever wanted something for yourself but said no because of time or money? Do you ever look at an opportunity, get really excited, but then get caught in your thoughts and listen to all the “reasonable” reasons why you can’t go for it?
I remember a time in my life when I let the apparent lack of money and time dictate how I lived. I remember hearing the instant “I can’t
afford that…” or “I won’t be able to pull that off…” thought, believe it to be true and then live my life in a state of lack and contraction.
Thankfully, I discovered a whole other possibility. I found that the lack of time, money and even expertise is only a temporary illusion. An easily resolvable situation that only requires one “secret ingredient.” And this “secret ingredient” has nothing to do with your education, wealth or experience.
In fact, you already have this “secret ingredient” , you just may not be aware of how to access it. Now before I reveal what it is and how YOU can start using it today, I want to tell you a short story about how I stumbled upon the “secret ingredient” for myself.

Do you ever wonder if you’re doing your life right?
(Or running your business right?)
(Or running your relationship right?)
Have you ever scratched your head in self-doubt wondering if you should take a different path? Or second-guess your choices? Regret actions taken or words spoken? If you answered yes, you’re not alone.
In fact, to doubt oneself is to be human.
But what if self-doubt was completely unnecessary “thought habit” like worry or stress? What if you are doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing in any given moment of now?
What if your universe is taking care of you, but you just can’t see the whole picture yet?
Let me explain…
Don’t you just love seeing other people win? (If not, this may not be the best blog for you!) I heard so much amazing feedback from how much you guys LOVED reading other women’s stories last week. And funny enough, a few more came in that I feel compelled to share.
Here’s why I love seeing other people win. None of us are special (and paradoxically, we all are). Each of us is fully capable of living a magnificient life. We are sooo much more capabable then we give ourselves credit for.
And seeing other women quit settling for mediocrity and start kicking ass in life makes me smile.
It also inspires me beyond belief. I’m comitted to excellence and sharing everything I can to support others to have the same.
So without further adue, learn about Michelle who used one of my DVDs to lose over 30 lbs, Linda who is seeing magic in every area of her life, and Mara who has used MEMWY to help her find the relationship of her dreams.
Enjoy the inspiration and THANK YOU once again to all of you who send in your succes stories. Keepm’ coming!

“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I would just like to take a moment to thank you for one of your workout dvds. About 6 months ago I started using The Wedding Workout DVD by Women’s Health. I am already married but this sounded like fun. I thought if it works for brides it will work for me. And how is the video going to know I am not getting married?
Anyways, I am 27 years old, 5′ 4″ and originally weighed 175 and was a size 14. I realized it was time when my size 12 pants were splitting at the seams. I was like OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MYSELF I AM ONLY 27 I LET MYSELF GET FAT!
Do you have a friend who’s always late? Or someone who constantly cancels on you but “promises” it will never happen again? Have you ever wondered what’s the best way to deal with these people? This week, I want to talk with you about how to handle “repetitive behavior” in your relationships. Here’s this week’s reader question:
“Hi Marie, thank you so much for all your words, advise and help. I’m trying to put it all into practice and there is one thing you talk about I’d like to explore further: ‘Clearing up things’ in relationship. You say once something happened we should leave it as if it never was the case. Now, what if the behavior is repetitive?
