Thoughtful, fun, interesting… Those are date must-haves. But guys, a girl who solely bases your relationship potential on her x-ray of your bank account isn’t someone worth taking out. Meeting Men Monday is usually Women’s World. But I’ve been receiving emails from men lately expressing how inadequate they feel in the courtship competition when they don’t have the funds to …
For this Ann Taylor photo shoot, I took a rainy stroll along a slough with my dad, who manned the camera. Since sloughs are Earth’s supermarkets, we turned off our phones and absorbed the scenery. There’s something so classic about communing with nature where the only sounds are the breeze blowing through the leaves and the rustling of animals. And …
I’m referring to my dare devil brother. Sisters have certain bragging rights, so here I go… Clay is one of the best rock climbers, doing vertical nerve-numbing routes, testing climbing and skiing equipment for manufacturers, doing rigging for shows, and being showcased in premiere climbing magazines! Last year he was on the cover of this issue. Yes, that’s my brother …
Longing for more love in your life? I’ve got a tip backed by research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

I’m talking about Laila, the scent created by Geir Ness, Norway’s perfume genius. Laila was #1 in a test of which scents men found most attractive on women! It’s sold today because some powerful men asked for it. Geir spent almost five years creating Laila and named it after his mother. He secretly imprinted a copy of her signature on …
The lovable girl featured in my video is in a love dilemma…
This week is Celebrity Central. I’m featuring different A-Listers and what makes them amazing. Since it’s Meeting Men Monday, I couldn’t think of a better subject than actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. He may be Game of Thrones’ BAD boy, but in reality, he’s GOOD when it comes to romance. In a recent InStyle interview, Nikolaj explained about his wife, “It was love …
Since this is Meeting Men Monday, I’m sharing tips I just learned at one of my favorite weddings. I first met the bride and groom at the pool the day beforehand. They had carefully planned a beautiful destination wedding on the beach at sunset. The guest list was limited to close family and friends—but the couple arrived at their resort …
This video is packed with appealing European men revealing their romance secrets—including some enticing Irish lads. They were in NYC for a soccer tournament, and are so loveable you’ll want to say, “Kiss me, I’m Irish”…whether you are or not.
I’ve been invited to several college campuses to talk about the study abroad experiences of friends in my book, The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men. Each time, girls tell me that they feel like they have to act a particular way to attract the men they desire. Not so, darlings! Putting on a false persona to try and …
This guy may look buttoned-down and he is a successful businessman, but he’s also a total daredevil and outdoor sports buff. Just to give you a sample, Austin has whitewater-rafted down Class 5 rapids in only a life jacket and hiked Mount Whitney – the highest summit in the contiguous US – in only a day. You’ve heard of heli-skiing, …
Ladies, these tips are straight from a man who specializes in training people to get the gold—in the Olympics. Rusty is a recruitment coach. But he’s no Gunnery Sergeant. His tactic is to train with positive encouragement. Lately, I’ve been training for the Couch Potato Olympics. It goes like this…sit on the couch, watch the athletes compete, and vicariously feel …
Who could top that for a Valentine dinner? If your relationship has entered monotonous mode, this concoction should send it sizzling tout de suite.

Today, I’m featuring a guy who’s a total CATCH. From that reference, the title of this post, and this picture, I bet you can guess his background! Billy had a professional overseas baseball career playing for teams in South Africa and Australia. You might recognize Billy from the Meeting Men Monday and Travel Thursday banner pictures on my homepage. It’s …
Since I was little, I’ve made up words…not in school papers though. I learned early on that teachers don’t allot A’s for creativity! ARTISTocrat in the “Katherine Dictionary” is someone who has achieved the highest level of artistic excellence. That perfectly describes Jencen. He’s a professional-level pianist, and an award-winning cook who relies on his sense of smell more than …
