I'm taking a stand on personal hygiene

Welcome to my mind! This is where I share my thoughts, reactions and experiences as your relationship coach. I made a presentation in front of a group of 60 singles the other day, which I entitled "Attracting Mr./Ms. Right" and, of course, was asked a bunch of questions afterwards. One of the participants asked about judging someone based on physical appearance. Since I address this topic in my articles, teleclasses and other live lectures, I initially answered "that is a whole 'nother topic that I can address at another time."

But I decided that this was a good opportunity to go on record about a related topic that comes up frequently in my discussions with singles -- that of personal hygiene. Men -- have you ever gone out with a woman who didn't comb her hair, wore tattered clothes or whose clothes smelled of stale perfume? And women -- have you ever gone out with a man who clearly had not showered, and his breath was terrible too? Yet even if he did shower, his clothes were sprinkled with dandruff?

When I hear singles complain about how some of their dates don't practice "good personal hygiene," I am truly appalled and upset. How can anyone think that they're going to create a new relationship if they aren't properly taking care of themselves, i.e., their personal hygiene?

So, I decided to take the opportunity to say "Yes, you can and you should judge somebody on their appearance, specifically their personal hygiene. You can reject somebody if they have poor hygiene." There, I said it.
