The Jay Cataldo Life Coaching Blog

If you were following my rants and raves last year around this time, then you’re well aware of how much I dislike the pseudo-holiday known as Valentine’s Day. Sure, I could go on and on and rehash my gripes but my perspective hasn’t changed one bit since last year. What HAS changed, however, is the fact that I’m currently in a relationship and my girlfriend doesn’t exactly share my sentiments. So it’s safe to assume that today… the sh*t is about to hit the fan.

I have some good news for all you Valentines Day haters out there. As I’m sure you know from reading my last V-Day post, I’m on a mission this year to destroy this pseudo-holiday once and for all.

So here’s the good news… The ever-so-lovely Miss DeAnna Lorraine (www.deannalorraine.com) recently had me on her show to explain just why I hate Valentine’s Day so much. Since every guy on the planet needs to hear this, I’ve decided to make the recording available (at no charge) for a limited time, so fill out the form below and download the podcast while it’s still available.

About a week back, I put up a tweet on twitter that got everyone all riled up. I’ll admit that it was a bit controversial, even for me. It read:

“The more frustrated men I work with, the more I believe that falling in love is the biggest mistake a man can make in a relationship.”

And of course, everybody started freaking out. While I did get a few “amen brotha”s, most of the responses (from both men and women) accused me of being “crazy”, “cynical” and an all-around poor excuse for a relationship coach. lol Pretty funny actually, but I understand why everyone was so upset. I quickly followed up with this: Read the rest of this entry »

This next piece is a guest post from blogger Andrew Kennedy (http://ankank.blogspot.com), the author of “Essential Personalities”.

Hi all,

This blog was initiated by dating coach Jay Cataldo (@JayCataldo on twitter). Jay has done a great thing in inviting others to contribute to his dating blog.  He has been warm and generous with me especially when we probably don’t agree that much about some matters, but to those readers new to my blog let me introduce myself.
