Nobody – woman or man – appreciates being objectified. Whether you are being judged on the size of your breasts or your bank account, it is offensive because you have so much more to offer the world than something so superficial. But what if you are the person doing the objectifying? This behavior is also dangerous for you. It pretty much guarantees that you’ll never meet the kind of men you’d actually like to attract. I explain why, and give you one simple trick that will help you connect with the real person you want most.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
