How to get the guy of your dreams

A Life coach claims that he has the knowledge to land any woman with her dream man.

Matthew Hussey hosts 'Get The Guy' seminars and conducts individual coaching sessions which teach women the skills they need to find the right man.

"My job is to empower people and for them to be proactive in that area of their lives," Hussey told The Voice.

Passion

After studying psychology, Hussey began coaching men on how to attract women.

"I have been reading up on behavioural psychology since I was 12 and it is something that I have always been interested in. I didn't know everything about women but I had a good understanding on people," he said.

However, he soon realised that women also needed help with finding the right relationship.

"For as many men who have problems in this area, there are alsowomen who want help with their love life too," he said.

Despite the scores of dating advice and self-help books, Hussey says that what makes him different is that he can speak to women from a male perspective.

Tips

"Part of the issue with women is that they are suffering from really outdated advice and being bombarded with advice from other women. I tell women exactly how it is from a guy's point of view. I've coached every sort of guy; the bad guys, good guys, shy guys to the confident guys and that's the knowledge I can pass on to women," he said.

In his seminars Hussey claimed that he can make a woman a man magnet within four dates.

"Women for far too long are used to playing hard to get and that's what they have been taught in magazines and books. The truth is that men are not into hard to get, they are into high value," he said.

According to Hussey, playing hard to get or being needy are two mistakes that most women make.

"Guys want a woman that is in demand; every guy wants to be with a woman that he thinks everybody else wants to be with too. So when you're out with a guy, the type of person you need to portray is someone that is busy, has a lot going on and is content with your life, that's the type of things that makes a guy want to listen up," he said.

Hussey also teaches women to be more confident when meeting and approaching men and says that women must not wait for their ideal man to just suddenly appear.

"I think women are conditioned from a young age that one day Prince Charming is going to come along and sweep them off their feet. They wait for that day but too many women get to middle age and they start worrying that Prince Charming didn't come along. One thing I teach is that you can either wait or create," Hussey said.

Despite being only 22, Hussey says women between the ages of 19 and 60 flock to his seminars eager to ask for advice on the problems they have encountered in the dating world.

"Some of the main problems women ask me to resolve are why 'he never calls me back', 'we slept together and he disappeared' or that 'I am seeing a guy and I want to make it into a relationship'," he admitted.

Proven

It seems that Hussey's recommendations have worked, as he has a number of success stories.

Lucinda, a black professional, first went to Hussey after she was recommended by a friend and says she managed to meet someone after two weeks of attending a seminar. Lucinda has now been dating her man for two months and says things are going well.

"I was interested in attending because it's one of those areas where there is no expertise about relationships from a man's perspective. I just wanted to learn," she said.

Successful

After being taught key skills such as increasing network opportunities and self-assurance, Lucinda said she applied the tips and it made a difference as, before, she was too nervous to talk to a guy.

"One of the tips I was given was to talk to everyone around you, be friendly and not just make an effort to talk to one particular guy. It worked because I met someone and he asked me out and I think it's related to Matthew's tips," she said.

Despite being in a relationship, Lucinda says that she has been cautious not to make the same mistakes she has made in other relationships by following Hussey's advice.

"I learnt not to be invested too heavily in someone you don't even know and expecting things instead of taking things as they come," she said.

Lucinda added: "Just because he's been out with you once you assume he's your boyfriend and you're on his back because he hasn't called you."

Knowledge about men

Armed with new knowledge about men, Lucinda says that she would encourage more black women to attend Hussey's seminars.

"I definitely recommend it even to women in relationships," she said.

Lucinda's case is just one of the many successes that Hussey has achieved and he says that it's the best aspect of the work he does.

"I get phone calls every day from women saying the tips had worked and one particular woman told me that she had to fight the men off in a club a day after attending my seminar! When I hear about these results it really surprises me," he said.

Hussey hopes to develop his seminars so that they become bigger and attract attention worldwide.

"I always had a goal to be talking regularly to 12,000 people and to go around the world and coach people, that's my passion," he said.
