How To Find The One

If you combined «The Secret» with” He’s Just Not That Into You” and threw in a dash of «The Rules», you would have How to Find the One. Now if you read these books, then you really don’t need to go to this seminar as they’ll just re-​hash everything that’s already in the books.
However if you’ve never heard of any of these books, this could be useful… maybe…sorta.
The seminar centers around the host interviewing six panelists. Three of them are married and three are single. Four are «life» coaches. The other two were a travel agent (its okay he’s deals with lots of couples) and a singer (she writes about love so she has to be an expert)
Two of the panelists are male and the other four are female. But the entire seminar is really targetted at women. So if you’re a guy looking for some advice, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
Again, if you’ve not read the books I mentioned earlier, you can get some useful advice. But it really relates to dating more than actually finding «the one». I suppose that i was expecting this to be a bit more psychoanalytical. I was hoping that the experts would have had a bit more experience and expertise in giving advice as to why we attract the types of people that we do. Instead, there was a lot of cliches and I left feeling like I wasted my afternoon.

The quick summary of what this event is? A series of interviews with supposed «experts» in the field of dating about how to find the «one». I put experts in quotes because a few of the interviewees were anything but, IMHO. I felt the first interviewee had her head hopelessly in the clouds, advocating a plan of detailing each and every minute feature of their perfect mate. To me it came across as borderline obsessive focus on details, even though I know she almost certainly meant to convey a less hard and fast approach. However, no matter how you spin this, I don’t see this as healthy, realistic or even remotely applicable. People, relationships and attraction are just too diverse to ever put in a box.
The 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th speakers were decent, and carried themselves in a way where you felt you might actually be able to learn something from them. This part of the show I enjoyed somewhat.
The 5^th and 6^th speakers I felt were completely irrelevant, and could almost have been randomly selected.
So as you can guess, my overall feeling on this wasn’t great, but having said that, I was the complete antithesis of the target market for this. The title should have given it away… yes, I admit that. This was heavily aimed at woman who want to settle down and get married. From the write-​up of the event I felt it was equally aimed at both sexes, and was more an exploration of the dating game and psychology of attraction (neither of these aspects featured much), and was going to be a little more academic in nature. I was wrong, don’t make the same mistake!
