All people suck. Men are dogs. Women just want one thing. You keep attracting the same type and you've decided that's just how people are.

It isn't. That's how you see people. And how you see people is a direct reflection of what you believe about yourself.

I know that's not what you want to hear. Say it anyway.

This episode is about dating, relationships, and the sweeping generalizations we make when we keep bumping into the same kinds of people and can't figure out why. I've been married five times. I'm not talking theoretically. I'm talking about what it costs to walk into relationship after relationship without knowing what you actually want — and then wondering why nothing works.

So here's the exercise. List five qualities that make a good partner for you. Now ask yourself — why do you keep settling for three out of five?

And when you're done with that question, ask yourself the harder one. When did you last sit down and develop the same kind of generous, patient, compassionate relationship with yourself that you keep hoping someone else is going to show up and give you?

The episode ends with me wanting pancakes at midnight. My wife said it was too late. My choice whether to eat them anyway. Think on that.
