Whether dating is a distant memory for you, or whether you are currently navigating your way through today’s dating pool, there are some really good reasons to approach the concept of business networking much like you’d approach dating. In fact, throughout my twenty five years of networking, I’ve often pointed out how similar dating and networking really are… and shown people how some simple “dating strategies” can be adapted for networking — with some amazing results.

What makes networking so similar to dating? For starters, everyone has felt nervous or apprehensive at one time or another during the dating process…and just as many people feel those same “pre-date” jitters when venturing out to a networking event. What’s more, just like dating, you never know when that one date – or networking event – will turn out to be “the one” that will transform your life. In networking, as in dating, you’ve got to “try on” a host of different people, and be willing to give a little. And, just like dating, sometimes networking relationships don’t take off either. As a mature adult, though, you won’t simply discount the person who isn’t a fit for you. Instead, you’ll introduce him or her to another who is also part of the “dating pool.” Who knows? That person may be the perfect fit for someone else.

Whether it’s a dating pool or a “networking circle of influence”, the key is to expand your contacts. And the key to that – whether in dating or networking – begins with a plan.

The Key to Successful Networking: It Starts with a Plan

Those who plan and set their networking goals find that they can indeed broaden their circles; yet surprisingly, few businesspeople – even the savvy ones – do this enough. The best way to get started? Take out a pen and paper and start to define your goals.

The Seven Best Tips for Setting Networking Goals

1. Be as clear and specific as possible in describing your goals. Saying that you want a new job, want more clients, want to increase your business is not clear. But saying that you want a new job in a specific field, or even in a specific company, helps people know what to “give” you.

2. Lay out your goals into the short term (month-by-month), long term (next year or two) and the future (two-to-five years from now.). Short term goals can be as simple as attending three different organized networking groups and deciding which one to join and calling two or more people that you haven’t spoken to in the last six months and inviting them out for coffee, lunch, or just a quick business meeting. Long term goals can be actions such as obtaining a seat on the board of the not-for-profit that you are active in, developing a workshop on your area of expertise and beginning to reach out to organizations, associations, groups and gatherings in your community to pursue speaking opportunities. Future goals could include things like starting your own networking group, working towards being further recognized as an expert in your industry, and anything else you want in your life and are willing to work towards.

3. Make sure your goals are realistically attainable within the designated time frame. Goals are great to have as they keep us focused, they give us something to work towards, they motivate us. They can also be daunting, so if this is the first time you’ve developed goals for yourself, keep them simple, attainable and make sure that after you identify a goal that you write a couple of action steps underneath each so that you understand what it takes to reach that goal.

4. Set up a daily networking plan and set daily goals — making sure to connect with someone each day that you can either help in some way, or who may be able to help you.

5. Make it one of your goals to have fun while networking, treating each event you go to as just a fun party with interesting guests!

6. Review your goals monthly and adjust them as necessary. Also, keep your goal sheet out where it’s visible so that it reminds you to do one pro-active networking activity per day.

7. Be accountable to your goals. If you aren’t great at being accountable, get an accountability partner. Hire a coach or someone who can review your goals with you and keep you accountable in the action steps necessary to reach your goals.

When dating, there are some dates that just “click” while others just don’t. The same holds true for networking. And just as we’ve all probably cringed when seeing the quintessential “bad first date” couple out at a restaurant — with seemingly nothing to say and no chemistry in the air whatsoever – watching (or being a part of ) an awkward networking exchange can be equally uncomfortable. But remember – never get discouraged, never get “jaded” and always look towards the next networking event (or date) as the one that just may change your life (or at least career) forever!

Ever make the mistake of letting a woman know that you want her more than she wants you? If you have, then you probably know that the effects of this are not always too pleasant. Suffice it to say, if you want to get in on the right foot, you have to make a woman want you more than you want her. If you don’t, then you are going to end up pursuing her until the point where she feels trapped by you.

Some guys think that pursuing a woman is what they are supposed to do, and that anything else is not going to work. Those are the kind of men that end up spending a bucket load of cash on a woman and end up getting nothing but a kiss on the cheek if they are lucky.

Here are some tips to make a woman want you more than you want her:

1. You need to know how to play aloof with her. Ever see how a woman reacts when a guy is aloof and barely notices her? It usually drives them crazy, especially when a woman is good looking and is used to commanding attention from men. If you want to get her to pursue you, then you need to practice acting aloof around a woman.

2. You need to know what really drives her wild. Most guys have this really nice image of a woman and that she does not like to talk about sex, or things like that. But, if you are going to drive a woman wild, then you need to get rid of that image and get real about things. Women are just as into sex as men are, and you cannot neglect this side of her.

3. You need to be able to entice her with your body language. Body language commands more attention than any string of words that you can use on a woman. When you can use body language to create attraction with a woman, then you will always be able to make her feel like she wants you.

Women in their 40′s are in two phases of their lives, one, recovering from divorce or two, seeking out Mr. Right before her eggs get too old. Now, that may sound rather harsh, but ladies sensitive to the biological clock are thinking in that way without verbalizing it to men. Guys, there are some fundamental differences in dating women in their 40′s from any other age group. At ages 40 – 45, the woman is trying to capture the best man she can attract because her beauty is fading and it will be harder to cover wrinkles past that age. There are exceptions, but the likelihood is that aging will impact her appearance and the ability to attract a man who can support her. Some try to equate a male in this peer group in the same manner but there is no comparison, because if he has money a younger woman is only a buck away.

The woman between the ages of 46 – 49 is settled about who she is and is ready for love and sex on a regular basis without all of the cat-and-mouse games involved with dating. These women are in the best position of all women in the 40′s group, because they have seen it all and dealt with the good, bad, and ugly of life. Also, these women have matured beyond the press of trying to have kids by a certain deadline assigned by life or a fashion magazine.

Where women in their 40′s make their mistake in dating is trying to date younger men on a consistent basis. So often these women try to imitate celebrities by having a young handsome stud as arm-candy. Ladies who do this rarely find him interested after she goes beyond her 40′s. In fact the sensation for a younger man is the fantasy of being with a peer’s hot mom or with a woman who is experienced and knows how to please a man. In most cases there is a mutual fetish that brings the older woman and younger man together at this juncture. Another thing that we commonly see with women in their 40′s is personal ads requiring that the guy has muscles, abs, and all of the accessories. The reality is that they try to demand that as if the younger guy has to qualify himself. This is where many mature women in this age group go wrong. If she was in her 20′s, or 30′s, then yes by all means these demands are reasonable. But this is not a good leverage-point for the 40 something woman in that she is tolerated instead of celebrated by the younger man. What’s between her legs is far more important than what is between her ears or breasts.

The false sense of being over-valued is what tips the scales for many of these women, especially those 40-somethings that hang out in clubs with the 20-somethings. These women are there to get either lusted after or laid by a younger hunk to feel wanted, loved, admired, and important. Now, women in their 40′s who are married and do this commonly have issues at home with husbands. A sense of having control of the situation is a common motivator for these women. At home they have to listen to husbands. But when in the clubs, they make the rules of engagement. Also, these women may decide to use the younger generation as a catalyst for recapturing their own youth. They may see it as a way to make up for those lost years during marriage. Women who were high school sweethearts with their husbands are regularly the participants. Most often their only sexual experience has been with the husband and therefore they will bring the practices exercised with him as a new trick for the younger man to learn.

Now, of course we are speaking in generalities, but the bottom-line is that everyone who falls into this category claims they are the exception, so if that were the case, then who would be the rule. Women trying to lure younger men in through physical attributes must understand that this is what they will be remembered for in the minds of men in general. The woman in her 40′s that has a good head on her should, acts age-appropriate, and is not looking for a younger guy will always be the one pursued by them for a serious and legitimate relationship.

This leads us to the woman in her 40′s that is only interested in men in the same age range. These women are realistic about expectations and therefore may be more complete in respect to who they want and what they want in their lives. A high-level of understanding and communications allow them to undergo hardships, and struggles a lot easier than a younger man older woman or December-May Romance. The younger man will have options that the older woman may not have in respect to finding a long-term mate. There are two main excuses that guys use to avoid a long-term situation with a woman in her 40′s, not wanting to be a step-father, and wanting to have kids of his own. These two excuses have long been a way out fo guys involved with older women.

Here are some of the issues in dealing with women in their 40′s if you are male in your 20′s through 30′s:

1. She may be religiously insecure about you taking off with a younger female.
2. She may try to isolate you from friends and family to maintain total control.
3. She could create a financial crisis of sorts to impede your ability to leave the situation.
4. She may become very possessive of you and your time.
5. She may begin to live vicariously through you and your life with friends in your peer-group.
6. She may speak of having a child to keep you interested in her.
7. She may want to purchase things for you to keep you satisfied and around, even though she may feel that she is being used.
8. You may have to compliment her for incremental achievements compared to a younger woman in your peer-group.

These are but a few things that someone in a different demographic may have to contend with, along with differences in morals, values, and perspectives. And one last note, she may become more self-critical as she ages due to the loss of youth and relevance.

Now, I know these things are hard to digest and in no way am I condemning women in their 40′s, but guys must understand that there are things that must be considered before moving in with them, or marrying them. At age 40 or older she is more sophisticated and complex than most younger groups due to experience. The likelihood is that she may be a very good life-time partner as long as you realize what you are getting into.

Married women in their 40′s are nothing short of trouble for dating or intimacy. The rationale for this statement is that these women are well-versed on the art of cheating, and rarely is one guy enough. Younger guys should avoid the married Cougar or suburban mom by all means because she will usually stick by her family before getting involved with a younger man.

This is just something to consider before leaping into a relationship with a woman in this age group.
