It has been unbelievably cold here, but nothing stops us hardy New Yorkers from doing what
we have to and getting to where we have to go. I am, of course, referring to myself, since I actually
did bundle up and got myself to the lecture hall two nights ago to conduct the “Confronting
Your Relationship ’Fear Factors’” workshop. Approximately 70 singles showed up and participated
in a lively discussion designed to help get them closer to commitment. One impression that I walked away with was how motivated some of the men were to
overcome their limitations. A few men that I spoke with after the workshop shared with me
how they were putting extra effort into improving their social skills. These were men that I
imagine are brilliant and accomplished at work (I hate to use the term “nerd” but it does come
to mind), who realized that in order to be more successful in their social lives, they had to learn
some additional skills. And for that awareness and effort, I applauded them! (And I told them so
too, because it doesn't hurt to get some endorsement.)

How many people do you know can identify a weakness, and then work at overcoming it?
Not many, I bet. And so I raise my glass and salute all of the men out there who are working on
becoming more socially adept, and congratulate the women they will eventually marry. Because
if he can work on and overcome one obstacle, he’s capable of working on others.
