Understanding a man has been a quandary for women in general, and the editors of Cosmopolitan Magazine in particular for decades. We receive plenty of very specific questions from our Love On Purpose Community™ about a man’s behavior and why he did or did not do something, or what this or that may mean about him.
We feel your struggle and want to help you better understand a man and what his behavior really means.

Why Do Men Have Blind Spots For A Woman When They’re In Love, But Otherwise Want A Perfect Woman?
This week's question comes from Anita:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
Why do men have blind spots for a woman when they’re in love, but otherwise want a perfect woman? I met a great man and for the first few months everything was great. He was so romantic and always gave me compliments on my appearance. He seemed to love and accept me.

Is Chivalry Dead & Other Questions Women Ask As They Grow Frustrated In Their Search For Love

I Like Him But…?
This week's question comes from Debbi:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
It’s been about 2 years since my ex and I split and I took some time to heal and look within before I started dating. Now that I’ve put myself out there I’m going on quite a few dates with different men.
There’s one guy in particular that I like, except he talks a lot. I can get around that, but he also interrupts me when I’m speaking. It seems I can’t even finish 2 sentences without him interrupting me. I don’t even get to

Self-Care Is NOT Always Sexy…
As wildfires rage around California we are grateful that many in our Love On Purpose Community have reached out to ask if we are okay. Yes, we are safe and sound thank goodness, however many of our friends are displaced from their homes and several have lost theirs. It’s tragic.
We have been offering support in many ways and we wanted to let you know two things:
We are safe.
Self-care is not optional.
Here we are with N95 masks as the air quality all around Los Angeles is very poor
