Saying Adios to Burnaby North

You can’t say North Burnaby without mentioning Anton’s Italian Restaurant. A staple of this area, people line up in the cold to get a taste of their oversized pasta plates which you can have leftovers for days. Go to 4260 hastings st e for this experience.

Let me give you a summary of this area. A truly multicultural area. It is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Vancouver. A cost of a one bedroom apartment to rent is $1500 to $1600 dollars. To buy a family home you are looking at a range of 1.5 million to 2 million.

You would like the feel of this neighborhood, a cross between when hippies met yuppies. An academic population, whether undergrad university students, grad students, or phd’s. And also throw in all the ethnicity flair you can imagine with beautiful European cafes and bakeries.

How you get here?

When you arrive in downtown Vancouver. Grab the Bus 95 at Hastings St and Granville. And then sit on the bus till it reaches Hastings St in Burnaby North.

Men, Now you can attract the woman of your physical dreams

It is very simple, the best marriages are the marriages that the man feels they won the prize and got the woman of their physical dreams. Men through biological and social conditioning are bred hunters. To make this simple analogy, a hunter must catch his targeted prey, but if he doesn’t he will spend the rest of his life thinking about the prey. I will discuss in this article the five ways in which a man can increase the chances of getting that woman of his dreams both physical, and mental.

  1. Become the best option for the woman you find attractive. Become a man who is physically, mentally, spiritually and financially able to take care of wife before you pursue or commit to one woman. Scientifically between the ages of 18-25 an adult male brain hasn’t fully developed yet. I would agree that there are a minority of men that are able to take on the role as husband and father as such a young age. However, for the majority of men, these ages between 18-25 are the ages that you must learn to develop as the man. Avoid attaching yourself to one partner at this age, and concentrate on building yourself. If you meet that girl that meets all the qualities you want at these ages, there are two things you can do a) quicken up the pace to develop yourself so you can pursue that girl b) let her go, and develop yourself first.

2. Travel, Travel, Travel….Read, Read, Read…there is nothing more for intriguing to a woman of substance than a man of substance

3. Get yourself a mentor. Unfortunately we live in a society today that men are not trained or developed to embrace their masculine traits of protection, providing and building. True masculine traits, not toxic traits. So many men are raised in environments where positive masculine traits are not encouraged whether they come from divorced parents, single parents or busy fathers who do not have to time or ability to impart those traits. I encourage men to develop these traits on their own if by the age of 18 they have been able to get a mentor to do so. Research and obtain life coaches in your area that will help you work on different aspects of yourself. Read self help books and biographies, take online courses and pay for programs by well known life coaches. Most successful men invest in themselves, you should take the time to invest in yourself.

4. Be kind to women that are not your dream girl that you encounter in your life. Many women will cross your path, some may turn into friendships and some you will realize after dating them for about three months that they are not the one for you. The ones who are your friends, gain from them the knowledge you need, do not abuse the friendship. Be honest with the ones who want to commit to you, but you do not feel the same way about them. Do not prolong a relationship for 2 years, 4 years, 6 years, hoping somehow your view of the particular woman will change. After three months if you do not see this woman has the dream girl, please cut off the relationship. In the end it will create a negative experience for the both of you. That brings me to the topic of sex, please avoid “friends with benefits” scenario and do not engage in sexual behavior with any woman who you will not commit to, unless you are honest with the woman about the direction of the relationship and allow her to choose to decide to proceed.

5. Gain confidence. Seek counselling to gain confidence. Work on your self esteem. No one can heal your wound except for yourself with the aid of course of a licensed therapist if you do need one. A confident man knows his value and projects that to the world and the world responds. It is is not fake confidence, it is confidence gained from knowing all your positive and negative attributes and developing them to help yourself and others around you. Learn how to take pride in yourself, eat well, exercise, become financially literate, care for your body, mind and soul.

How to attract quality men

Now lets discuss how to marry up your social, and economical class. First what is a quality man? Basically a man whose goals in his life include to provide (financial, emotional, and mental support), protect, and build for the woman he chooses to marry. Not all men are capable or want to do this, so it is in the woman’s best interest to vet potential men and make sure they can provide, protect and build for them. Now how can we women encourage men of quality into our lives. Here are the five steps to do so:

  1. They key to getting a quality man is to become a quality woman yourself. Invest in yourself first. Get to know yourself, all your positive points and negative points. Once you accessed all your qualities, you need to learn to embrace yourself and learn to love you as you are. Then next move is then to enhance your positive qualities and try to make a best version of yourself. Take those classes that you always wanted to take, for example that writing class, the pottery class, and join a exercise class. Just learn to invest in yourself physically, emotionally, financially and mentally. Learn how to practice self care, you need to love yourself first in order for someone to love you.
  2. Expose yourself to quality men. Start early and expose yourself to quality men. In society, men are generally encouraged to explore their options in the early stages of their dating life, sometime between the ages of 18-25 years. This enables them to fine tune what their imagined “right woman” actually looks like in real life. For women I propose the same exact thing, between the ages 18-25 should be the exploration period. Women should date only to explore and expose themselves to a variety of men. If you are past the age of 25, what you should do is give yourself at least 2 years to explore and expose yourself to a variety of men. When I say dating, I mean dating without sex. I prefer women wait till marriage to have sex, If one does not subscribe to this, just wait till at least 6 months. At this time of exploration it is better to stay away from forming serious relationships unless you happen to meet a quality man that proposes marriage.
  3. Go where the quality men are: After you expose yourself to different men, then the next step is to become selective. Focus on events, sports, self help seminars, and charity events that attract quality men. Move to an expensive neighborhood, even if it is a smaller space. However if you can not afford an expensive neighborhood, visit that area often.
  4. Form friendships with quality women that have in the circle quality men. Remember this how Megan Markle met Prince Harry, through the introduction by her quality girlfriend.
  5. Travel, Travel, Travel, Also Read, Read, Read. The point of Travel and Reading is about exposure. Quality men want to be around a woman with ideas. Travel and Reading will enable you to attract quality men, and for yourself it will expose you to different worlds and make you a better version of yourself.

45 year plan for my life

I have a 45 year goal plan. Yes you have heard me, I have goals I want to achieve each year of my life. When I was younger, I had an older woman tell me, “that you couldn’t plan your life.” So for the next years, I stopped setting goals and objectives for my life. But it wasn’t until my late 20’s that I realized although you may not be able to plan every aspect of your life, because sometimes things happen beyond your control. However, unless something drastic happens, I can always follow my plan, and alter my plans depending on how drastic that event happens to be. So here is a summary of what I hope to accomplish 45 years from now. I will get more into details next post.

My life Today—-February 2019:

married, renter, works part time hours in an office, travel once a year, live close to family, able to have fullfilled my dream of living and seeing particularly most of Canada.

My life 45 years from:

Retired after leaving my work as self employed counselor, mother, traveled once a year, own my home, set up a charity, write my book, buy a cottage somewhere in Salmon arm or Kelowna,

Women marry for financial stability, Men marry for looks

On my last post I encouraged women to gold dig and choose men that are financially better off than themselves. In this post I would encourage men to seek their physical prototype when deciding which woman to marry. I want to tell you two true life stories to illustrate my point. The first story involves a man that was hooked up to a machine to gauge his emotional response to different objects and people. It was determined through the process that this man was particularly attracted to tall blonde women. It was then determined the physical prototype for this man was a tall blonde woman. However in real life this man had only dated shorter dark haired women. He was going against his physical prototype. All his long term relationships had ended in failure. Although all this women possessed the value and characteristics he desired in a partner, they just weren’t his physical prototype. Asked by the researcher why he never pursued a tall blonde with shared values and goals. He answered that he feared that he would be rejected, so he only approached women he felt would respond to his advances.

Another story I would like to point out is, a man’s whose physical prototype was a black woman. However he felt that his family who were non-black would not approve of his choice in a partner, and he felt that there would be too much obstacles to overcome. So he made the choice to select a non-black woman as his wife. Ten years later into the marriage, and two kids later, he decided to file for divorce and pursue his love interest.

You see what i am getting to here. Men are are programmed both biological and social to be hunters in the game of mating. Generally, by their mid twenties, most men have an idea of what woman fits their physical prototype, and it is near impossible to change a man’s directional pull into whatever direction he has decided. It has been been proven in research that it takes men a shorter length of time to decide if a women is marriage material or not, and often they will not change their mind or change their direction even when presented with a better second alternative.

Most men make the right decision and do not marry the woman that is not the physical prototype. A man would rather have a child with a woman that is not their physical prototype than marry her, giving her his legal name and announcing to the world that she is his wife. In relationships that men are with the women that are not their physical prototype, often the man will stretch out the relationship for years without formally committing to her, in hopes that he may find his physical prototype while holding onto a woman that fits other qualities he desires.

I had a similar situation with my ex-boyfriend. I was not his physical prototype. Throughout the relationship, I saw a man that was in a relationship, but was not fully committed. He would make comments about other women, he would watch porn with my knowledge or without my knowledge, he would not go that extra mile to indicate his feelings for me. I thought to myself, maybe he was not built that way. However towards the ending the relationship I saw a different side to him. He had met his physical prototype and now he was a more emotional man that displayed his emotions and proclaimed his love for his new woman.

The men that choose to marry woman that are not their physical prototype are usually not full participants in their relationships. Their wives often complain about their lack of intimacy, the display of emotions are lacking, and also the men do not go out of their way to help the woman out with their household. Many of these relationships end up in divorce, either the man decides to leave the relationship after they meet their physical prototype or when the wife gets tired, she decides to leave the relationship.

In summary, I feel in making the decision on whether to marry a woman, a man should first consider whether the woman is physical prototype. Then secondly look at the other factors such as the women’s values and goals.

Finance Matters

On Tuesdays when I post I will focus on self improvement. Self improvement involves financial, spiritual, mental and emotional improvement. I will give detailed information about my yearly goals, and my life goals and give you step by step detail on how I plan to achieve this goals. Look forward to the next post

A Look at Vancouver Neighbourhood

Cioffi’s Meat Market & Deli in North Burnaby

The featured neighbourhood this month of February is North Burnaby. It is a large area that includes a number of smaller neighbourhoods that stretches from east to west, Boundary Road to Simon Fraser University and from north to south, Burrard Inlet to Lougheed highway. We are going to be looking at the area, along East Hastings (Boundary road to Burrard Inlet) for this month and focus on Simon Fraser and Lougheed Highway, in a separate month.

The east to west corridor along East Hastings offers a tantalizing experience. With ethnic shops and restaurants, this is the place to sample all the the world’s cultures. From Italian deli’s, Vietnamese Pho, Chinese restaurants, European bakeries, Indian restaurants, Turkish shops and food. I will be showing pictures of the different places I visit during this month, and I will tell you how to get to this places on your visit to Vancouver. So for this first post on the neighbourhood, I present Cioffi’s Meat Market & deli, located on 4142 Hastings St. This place takes you back to an old Italian deli where you have to grab a number and wait your turn in order to get a chance to partake in this delicious surroundings. Deli meat galore, and cheeses out of this world. For our trip today we purchased wine salami and cheddar white-epicure cheese. Who needs a trip to Italy, when you have this deli shop right in your neighbourhood.
