I just watched "The Materialist" and I have some thoughts. This movie's message about dating and having standards? Let's just say I completely disagree with their approach.
The film revolves around a matchmaker trying to help her client find a person who fits their "list" of qualities they have for their ideal partner. But after watching it and seeing how it all plays out, the underlying message is: Stop being so picky and just settle for whoever shows up.
This is exactly the kind of advice that keeps women stuck in mediocre relationships.
Here's what I know for sure: I found my husband Will just one and a half months after writing my list. That clarity wasn't materialistic – it was strategic. It was me finally honoring my worth and refusing to settle for crumbs.
Your standards aren't too high. Perhaps what you have on your list shouldn’t be there like their height, which truly doesn’t matter and is one thing that the movie conveyed that I agreed with.
Want to hear my full take on why this movie's dating advice is completely backwards and what actually works when it comes to finding your person?
Listen to the full episode where I break down the real strategy behind attracting C.R.A.Z.Y. love – the kind where you can be Completely Real and Authentically, Zenfully You.
