I caught this article on "How to Be a More Empowered Woman" and even though it wasn't necessarily written about dating, I think it applies to that as well. After all, being an empowered woman often means that you're able to attract the very best guys. The more empowered you are, the more desirable to The Opposite Sex.

I especially liked the first point on here, which is to always keep learning. Doing that helps with more than just your brain power. First of all, increased learning means you have a wider point of view and will be a better conversationalist. (And who knows, you may meet someone at one of the classes you take!)

And while I don't necessary agree with the one of the things listed in the second point (I think women should ALWAYS have a cell phone with them in case of emergency), I do agree that it's healthy to be able go to dinner or for coffee by yourself. I know of a few women who aren't happy in their own company and tend to glum on to any guy that comes along. And is THAT attractive? (Hint: No way.)

The point of the article is simply that to get the great life and relationship you want, be the type of interesting lady that no man can resist. Be someone who is so fascinating that a guy will want to be a part of your world for who you are. Not what you look like, or how much you weigh, but for you really are inside. That's the way to find a real and lasting relationship.
