1
00:00:01.150 --> 00:00:02.490
Diane Brandon Moody: Starting in progress.
2
00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:17.569
Diane Brandon Moody: Hey, everybody! It's Diane Brandon, Moody again. I am here with another episode of 50. Something love which Buzzsprout says is in the top 25% of all podcasts.
3
00:00:17.790 --> 00:00:24.119
Diane Brandon Moody: I know there are people with more listeners than me. But I am thrilled because that means
4
00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:30.509
Diane Brandon Moody: somebody's listening. Somebody's paying attention. I'm not just talking into the void I love that.
5
00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:42.969
Diane Brandon Moody: So today's episode. What we're going to talk about is how women can supercharge their dating for women over 50, and this is a part 2 as well.
6
00:00:43.930 --> 00:00:51.329
Diane Brandon Moody: So, ladies, I'm going to give you a little bit of different advice that you've probably never heard before. And I'm going to say this
7
00:00:52.470 --> 00:01:00.489
Diane Brandon Moody: the minute somebody turns out to be something that is different from who he said he was.
8
00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:05.129
Diane Brandon Moody: You get to walk away. I'm giving you permission to walk away
9
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:10.100
Diane Brandon Moody: now. I prefer you do it in kind of a nice way.
10
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:25.759
Diane Brandon Moody: and I don't mean super super nice, but just not Herodin and Shrew, but to walk away. So let's pretend you are meeting somebody for drinks at a hotel bar.
11
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:40.260
Diane Brandon Moody: Suppose this guy walks in, and he finds you, and you discover he's been using filters online or very old pictures it and look anything like he said he did
12
00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:50.150
Diane Brandon Moody: in the past. What I've done when that happened is I would kind of suffer through this drink or this date.
13
00:01:50.330 --> 00:01:56.219
Diane Brandon Moody: and then at the end of it, say, no, thank you. I I think we're not a match.
14
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.829
Diane Brandon Moody: I think you need to always end it
15
00:02:00.020 --> 00:02:09.010
Diane Brandon Moody: and end it politely. And that's because of Karma. I don't care if you hurt their feelings. If they're trying to pull something over on you. It's really more for Karma.
16
00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:16.619
Diane Brandon Moody: So now what I advise people to do if somebody shows up.
17
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:21.540
Diane Brandon Moody: you know, looking 20 years older than his pictures.
18
00:02:21.850 --> 00:02:24.030
Diane Brandon Moody: you don't have to stay for the date.
19
00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:25.899
Diane Brandon Moody: You can say
20
00:02:26.901 --> 00:02:36.399
Diane Brandon Moody: appreciate your asking me out, but I am not interested. You really don't look like your pictures at all. They're very old.
21
00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:40.760
Diane Brandon Moody: Best of luck to you and walk away. You don't have to.
22
00:02:40.980 --> 00:02:45.990
Diane Brandon Moody: You don't have to stay. Women have been conditioned over millennia
23
00:02:46.330 --> 00:02:48.069
Diane Brandon Moody: that we're supposed to be nice.
24
00:02:48.470 --> 00:02:49.340
Diane Brandon Moody: So
25
00:02:49.930 --> 00:02:56.159
Diane Brandon Moody: being on Tiktok quite a bit, and having a lot of daters come to me and ask me for advice.
26
00:02:56.420 --> 00:03:02.130
Diane Brandon Moody: You know they'll say something like this, and well, I stayed through the date, and I tried to be nice.
27
00:03:02.600 --> 00:03:05.649
Diane Brandon Moody: Why, why stay through the day.
28
00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:19.080
Diane Brandon Moody: you know. I mean, if he lied about his height, if he lied about his weight, if he lied about how old he is, any of that stuff. You don't owe him anything. Walk away.
29
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:26.759
Diane Brandon Moody: hold your head up high and just walk away. We're not going to do that anymore. We're just not.
30
00:03:28.490 --> 00:03:32.170
Diane Brandon Moody: That is the number one piece of advice I have for you
31
00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:35.080
Diane Brandon Moody: on what you can do to supercharge your dating.
32
00:03:35.630 --> 00:03:42.720
Diane Brandon Moody: Now I am not talking about the guy who you're not sure you have any interest in.
33
00:03:43.490 --> 00:03:46.440
Diane Brandon Moody: Well, I'm going to give you the opposite advice to that.
34
00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:50.909
Diane Brandon Moody: If you meet a guy you had great
35
00:03:51.721 --> 00:03:55.629
Diane Brandon Moody: phone relationship. You got along well.
36
00:03:56.070 --> 00:04:01.289
Diane Brandon Moody: you zoomed and or facetimed, and you felt good about them.
37
00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:11.319
Diane Brandon Moody: and then you meet in person, and there's no chemistry at all. What I'm going to say then, is to give it 2 or 3 dates, assuming he's feeling the same way.
38
00:04:12.550 --> 00:04:15.270
Diane Brandon Moody: 2 or 3 dates will tell you more
39
00:04:15.690 --> 00:04:23.529
Diane Brandon Moody: if you try to to do it all in one date, and you walk away. You could miss out on some really good guys.
40
00:04:24.050 --> 00:04:32.919
Diane Brandon Moody: So let's not do that. Okay, so just do give it time.
41
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.369
Diane Brandon Moody: Some people take a minute a hot minute to bloom.
42
00:04:36.630 --> 00:04:42.480
Diane Brandon Moody: If you're looking for something magical, like Cinderella and the Prince dancing until midnight.
43
00:04:42.690 --> 00:04:45.500
Diane Brandon Moody: That's fantasy. Folks that isn't real.
44
00:04:46.290 --> 00:04:47.570
Diane Brandon Moody: Give it time.
45
00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:54.489
Diane Brandon Moody: Give it time to explore the end of 2 or 3 dates. You still don't feel like you can do it.
46
00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:03.970
Diane Brandon Moody: Then it's fine to walk away and again be be polite about it like you don't have to be a jerk. You can be polite.
47
00:05:05.820 --> 00:05:15.299
Diane Brandon Moody: That will also supercharge your dating. Now it sounds like I'm giving you 2 opposing directions.
48
00:05:15.550 --> 00:05:16.490
Diane Brandon Moody: I am.
49
00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:22.149
Diane Brandon Moody: I am the person who tries to portray himself as something he isn't
50
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.799
Diane Brandon Moody: is not ever going to be good for you.
51
00:05:27.450 --> 00:05:32.520
Diane Brandon Moody: He's just not, and the person who is trying
52
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.869
Diane Brandon Moody: but isn't tickling your fancy immediately.
53
00:05:36.390 --> 00:05:39.620
Diane Brandon Moody: He might. You just need to give it a little time.
54
00:05:40.490 --> 00:05:52.829
