Welcome to Love Life, I'm your host Matthew Hussie.

Now here's a secret about men that most women don't realise.

Men really want to feel manly around you.

If you know how to make him feel like a man, he'll want to be around you day and night.

So how do you do this?

I'm going to give you my five most powerful phrases for making him feel manly around you

right after we get into today's topic.

We are back again today with a caller.

I'm very excited to have Angie on the line. Angie are you there?

Hi Mad, how are you? I'm excited to speak to you too.

I'm excited to speak to you. I feel very happy that you actually managed to get through to us

and we're able to answer your question. What was your question Angie?

Well the thing is that in the last couple of years I've gained some weight

so I'm about 40 pounds overweight right now.

And so when I was lighter I was much more willing to put myself out there in terms of dating

to not use weight as an excuse to not make myself available?

How long have you not dated for Angie?

It's been a few years now so about three years.

And I'm interested what's made you want to lose the weight now?

Because obviously in those three years you hadn't made that decision to do it
