Back in this thread we were discussing how "total package women" can avoid ending up alone. The tips offered by Dr. Tarrt were:
1.Position yourself around the men who have the qualities that you are looking for. Find the events where those men go.
2. Advertise what men are looking for. Advertise that you would make a great wife.
3. Know your brand.
4. Be confident.
Let's focus on #3 - KNOW YOUR BRAND.
What does it mean to "know your brand"?
Also, what is YOUR brand?
I'll start.
What does it mean to "know your brand"? I think "knowing your brand" is basically knowing what you're bringing to the table and how you comport yourself and making sure that those two things are in alignment.
To me, it also relates to the idea of "swimming in your own lane." For example, this past weekend I went to a social event and there was a middle-aged, white gentleman - complete and total nerd (And I say this as nerd myself ) He was wearing a t-shirt of a lame band that was tucked into these gym-looking short with white tube socks pulled up to his knees. He was balding and boring as h-e-double-hockey-sticks. But he was hitting on every 20 year old dime piece in the place. It was hilarious - he went from girl to girl. When one of them suddenly had to "go to the bathroom" he would just move onto the next, engaging them in such fascinating topics as the creation of NATO and changing weather patterns.
I'm serious y'all . . . it was soooo bad! I actually felt bad for him because clearly he did NOT know his brand. He should've been hitting on women his age who were more academics - not the hottie patotties at the bar.
What is YOUR brand? I think my brand is a mixture of an old-fashioned "church girl" who also knows how to laugh and have fun. A workin-with-what-you-got kinda girl who aspires to greater things and works towards them. Work hard/play hard busy bee. (I have no idea how attactive or alluring that is, though )
Your turn!
