Inspiring Interview | Susan Winter

Inspiring Interview | Susan Winter

On my recent work trip to New York City, I was lucky enough to be invited to meet and interview the fabulous Susan Winter – such a great opportunity to get the lowdown on this leading US dating expert. She worked in classical theatre, before going on to host a TV show for the equivalent of today’s CNBC before becoming an evolutionary dating expert. She has written two books and been a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show among many other things. So – you can probably imagine just how excited I was to head to her fabulous apartment in the heart of Manhattan, a few blocks from the famous Times Square and a stone’s throw from Central Park, to meet her back in late September.

We touched on so many cool topics and literally chatted for hours on the terrace of her gorgeous Manhattan apartment (Giles, the bf, had to come and find me wondering where I’d disappeared to all morning) but here are some of the highlights. (Please note I have paraphrased in places – so my apologies Susan if I have ended up misquoting you). I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed listening. You have to imagine lots of laughter and the background noise of New York taxis and sirens…

On Oprah

Saskia: I have to ask about Oprah before we get started. She’s such a legend. What was it like meeting and chatting with her?

Oh yes, Oprah is the real deal. Now, I have never had a publicist in all these years, but her people found me and invited me on to the show. They like people who have a purity of intention and who are the expert on their particular topic, but it also helps to be controversial of course. I’d written my book ‘Older Women, Younger Men’ a few years earlier which came with quite a bit of controversy and a strong message. Oprah likes people with a message. Her whole aim is to inspire people to have a bigger vision of life. She has been working hard all these years to create a step-change in people, in society. She has always encouraged people to do something positive with their lives and it was great to be able to play a part in that.

The controversy in my book wasn’t about older women being with younger guys, that goes on a lot obviously, no what was controversial was older women loving younger guys. I was promoting a different kind of love. It has always been hard to be truly unique and true to yourself and not worry about people judging you for doing things differently.

On living an authentic love life

Saskia: Yes, I hear that. My parents are from different races (Jamaican dad and British mum) and got married at a time when it was still illegal, in some places, for blacks and whites to marry, so I totally understand what you mean about promoting a different kind of love. 

Wow yes, absolutely and people who struggle through barriers like this often end up with a stronger love. As we become more authentic in love, we become evolutionary. I’m an evolutionary dating expert, I’m addressing the way the world is today. The cookie-cutter formula for love isn’t working any more. Women now have their own power / money and can choose their men. It should be an exciting time for them. They have the luxury of choosing who they date and they can date down if they like but they don’t. Many of these intelligent women want to date CEOs and the equivalent. Well there are tonnes of intelligent women and not many CEOs so there are lots of disappointed women out there. Something has gone wrong.

Saskia: Let’s talk about the cookie-cutter formula for love in a minute. I ‘m really keen to find out how you became an evolutionary dating expert. 

I have a theory – the universe has a plan. It dangles a dog treat, in my case a gorgeous man, and it got my attention. I leapt into where I was supposed to be. (To find out how this man helped her leap into where she was supposed to be, check out her book, Allowing Magnificence.) The key to our truth is following our path. When we have a calling or a purpose and you are open to that purpose, life kicks you sideway. There is no roadmap, you have to trust yourself – one of the hallmarks of personal evolution is getting off the charted road. An authentic life doesn’t look like anyone else’s. There are some similarities but it’s uniquely yours and that’s when you’re living your truth. That is when who you are and who you date changes.

Saskia: How many people are living this authentic life? When you look around do you see many of these people?

The younger generation are, for sure. Look at their commercials, kids with purple hair, jumping around, doing their thing.

Saskia: You’re talking about the Millennials?

Yes, that’s why I can sit down and talk to a 20 year old guy (who’s gorgeous) and relate to him as thought we haven’t skipped a beat. The younger generation come pre-programmed with what we’ve learnt and spread into the social consciousness.

Saskia: Yes, they are so lucky. I love how they approach work for example. They know there is no job for life anymore so they are growing up entrepreneurial. They know with a good idea and an iPhone they can make money. It’s exciting. Work in a bank? No, instead they figure out what skills they have and boom! 

Yes, they have no roadmap, they have to trust themselves. What worked for their parents doesn’t work for them. This is also why dating is so confusing for Millennials. Dating is such a mess. What I love about these guys is they are open with me, they tell the truth and have no game. I’d rather have a guy be straight up and say to me that they don’t do relationships so I know where I stand. I can then say, ‘what can you do?’, ‘what are you good for?’ I negotiate. I’m all about monogamy, no toe-dipping. If you’re with me, then you need to jump in. If you can give me a month or a year, make sure you’re all in for that time. No games.

The difference between me and a lot of women today is that I am open, my heart is open but when it comes to the bedroom, well that is VIP. Nowadays, most people the bedroom is open and their heart is the VIP area. Yes, women are in control of their love lives and sex lives but it doesn’t mean it’s authentic. What’s empowering about sex being open to all? It’s the same model (choosing marriage and children) superimposed in a different format i.e. doing what everyone else is doing. Everyone is living out someone else’s plan. I’m glad we have open sexuality and can sleep around, test boundaries and test out the fluidity of our sexual preferences but do we have to have it the way society says we should have it? We need to be asking the question, ‘What is right for us?’. Make our own choices. It’s not working out that well for these women.

 On working with clients

Saskia: Are your clients mainly women then?

No, I’d say 80% of my clients are men. Women love what I say and some follow my advice but women in general listen to girlfriends and don’t tend to pay for ongoing coaching. While men don’t have friends to talk things through with and so they have stellar results working with me. They follow my instructions well. I give them permission to know they’re phenomenal. The women I work with go from a revolving door of hook-ups to marriage in a short amount of time because they trust me. My words are different to other coaches. Once they listen to me, I’m committed to staying with them on their journey. I’m asking them to open up their heart and show up and that’s hard. I know that, which is why I stay with them.

Life uses pain and pleasure as a motivator. Pain, in particular, is a significant motivator. It got me to write my second book, Allowing Magnificence. The pain was so tremendous, it needed to come out. Not just for me but for other women living in similar situations with younger guys.

I’m living my truth and trying to create an infrastructure for people to find comfort and security as they pick what’s right for them on an a la carte menu of love. I’m trying to be there for people as they authentically choose their truth. This is a time where we get to choose a model that works for us. My only job is to help people do that with integrity and authenticity.

 On knowing exactly what her job is

That’s it. That’s my job. To help people reconnect to their truth and make it ethical. Empowering people to live their true lives, their true love lives. Then I’m done. When we live our true selves, when we are connected, the choices automatically become of a higher level. If we’re disconnected, we become vindictive. When you’re really connected to yourself, to the source within you, you’re much stronger. You can’t function outside of that. People can suss out if they’re being lied to. But lets face it, only a small percentage of people wake up to do damage and those people are mostly terrified. Afraid of being hurt, not being approved of, or not being accepted. They are the ones that do the greatest damage.

What I teach and share is the long way. There are easier ways to make money. All those packages / courses, e.g. Teach any man to love you for $600, are just garbage. It’s a much longer journey to help people find their own strength and connect with themselves but that is the only thing that creates change.

The individual journey is the only journey that creates mass change.

I understand human nature and what people need – whatever their issue is, you need to figure out what is motivating them and you’ll know how to help them.

A lot of negative behaviour is driven from a place of fear. Everyone is scared. In Manhattan, we live in a posturing society and at the core of all of that are people who are afraid that they’re not good enough in someone else’s eyes. And that is amplified when we’re not together with ourselves.

The big news is….

The big secret is that we don’t need all those products and goods. Do you need to pay $1000s of dollars to sweat in a tent, half way up a mountain. No, the big news is that we already know the answer.

We were born with the knowledge inside us. The job we actually need to do is uncover layers of misinformation.

God, the Creator, whatever you want to call it did not leave us without direction. Our guidebook is inside us. Imagine when people know that and they never need to ask anyone else, we’d put everyone out of business. Imagine if you put trust in yourself and asked what if I trust myself to know the answer? You are now in the process – you’ve got to dig deep. The time that you feel most lost is the time you’re most on target. You have to figure it out yourself. There is so much noise around us, people selling us ‘the answers’, that generally people don’t have the chance to think for themselves. We have it all programmed in ourselves.

In my professional opinion, we are all scared that we’re not good enough. People are spinning all these plates in the air and we try and hide the areas where we feel challenged. When you feel pain, that is when you need to act. Pain is a great motivator, it’s like life’s cattle prod, telling you that you need to move, do something. Pain is there to help you figure out a solution to your problem. Don’t try and escape from it, but move towards it, transform it, get new tools to tackle it. Every time you do this, there comes greater understanding of your situation and less pain.

Saskia: I love that – I know everything myself. I have my own guidebook inside?

Yes, and my job is to guide people to empower themselves to find the answers. It’s like meditation. All meditation does it to help stop the noise and chatter long enough for you to hear yourself. There are lots of techniques for this and I’m helping people find the fastest way to do this.

 

And finally…please complete the sentences:

I’m currently inspired by.… the brilliance coming out of Silicon Valley and other startup hotbeds around the world. Today’s entrepreneurs are changing our entire business model by fusing purpose with passion and passion with a purpose.

I’m at my happiest when…. I’m in the company of dogs, horses, and good friends.

Saturday Nights are for….. pleasure; whether that means indulging in alone time or dancing till the sun rises.

dating app profile
👑Originality is King 👑 The more original your dating profile and pics, the more success you’ll have on the apps. Research backs this up. But how do you create dating photos that capture your unique, special voice and vibe? Start with this simple, but powerful, question: How do I stand out from other people? Write it all down - passions, interests, inspirations, values, vibe. All of it. And use that as your framework to create your profile pics. Think about how you can visually capture your story in your photos using props, clothes, body language, locations, vibe and attitude. It’s challenging to do this, but have fun with it. It’ll show in your pics. You have been watching Hey Saturday, the OG Dating Photographers.

Is it time for an originality check on your dating app profile? Recent research has backed up what dating experts having been saying for years, people respond particularly well to the use of originality in dating profiles. Higher originality in your dating profile is associated with the following: + increased belief in physical attraction + greater intelligence + higher romantic intention (ie how likely would you be to date this person?) + higher humour perception + lower perceptions of oddness/peculiarity Brilliant news then! They found nothing negative associated with adopting originality in your profile. Therefore we can all benefit from an originality check 🙌🏽 Check out my recent blog post with some ideas on how to review your own profile through the lens of originality. It’s kind of obvious when you think about it - that the more you reveal some real truths about yourself the easier it will be to connect with your kind of people - but it’s still something people haven’t mastered, tending to rely on well worn cliches and lots of generalisations in order to fit in. I’ll say that again - the more you reveal about your authentic self, the easier it’ll be to connect with your vibe of people 🙌🏽 Dating apps are not the place to fit it.

I hope I never have to hear the words ‘fatfishing’ ever again … yuck … but while we’re here, this is a useful and timely reminder to check that the set of photos you have on your dating app profile are up-to-date and pretty much representative of who you are today. Research has shown that if you use photos that misrepresent you in any way, your date will feel deceived. Eek. And since going on dates is a key way to find out how trustworthy someone is, you’ll have blown it before they’ve even sat down and got a drink in their hand. I’m not just talking about weight here, of course. We’re all changing all the time, inside and out and the more your profile pics can capture the latest iteration of you, the better it’ll be. As the woman says in the article, it isn’t so much their size that’s the issue, she’s into dad bods apparently, it’s to do with the deceit. You don’t want to build something with someone who’s ok to start a romantic connection based on that. What do you think? Have you experienced any form of this?

My favourite dating photo tip Hold something 💛 When we’re in front of a camera lens, many of us feel self-conscious and often our first thought is ‘But what should I do with my hands?’ Holding something in your hand is a great way to relax your body and focus on looking and feeling good instead. Even better, is when you hold something you love 💛💛 When you hold something you love like a plant, your camera, your dog or guitar you feel instantly good, as your focus shifts from the shoot to something that brings you joy. It has the added benefit of telling people more about who you are, your personality interests and passions🍦 You have been watching Hey Saturday, the OG Dating Photographers.

Hey Saturday - because you’re worth it. So much love for these gorgeous shots taken by Livia in one of our newest locations - Salford Quays. We’re loving this Manchester location as it tends to be pretty quiet, it’s by the water and there’s still lots of colour to add vibrancy and depth to the images. J’adore!

Great profile pics attract attention. Authentic ones keep it 🔥 The biggest reason people don’t get second dates, according to Match, is because they look nothing like their profile pics. And yeah, no you aren’t going to be able to win them over on the date with your sparkling personality sadly … because, before they’ve even sat down, they feel deceived by you. And that ain’t a good look on a date. People want relationships with trustworthy people. Don’t blow it. Keep it real.

AI generated dating photos? What do you think? I mean what the f-ck? Don’t get me wrong, I’m fascinated by what’s occurring in the AI creativity space at the moment. AI generated paintings, photographs, songwriting etc. I’m fascinated yeah and kind of a little horrified at the same time, I think. So yeah, for $19 you can head to Photo AI, upload some photos of yourself and they’ll generate a set of dating profile pics. Hurrah, sounds like a bargain. Buuuut … when it comes to dating, well that’s something else entirely. Dating is deeply rooted in the human experience, right. So, IMO, I believe you need that connection between photographer and dater, that beautifully unique human-to-human contact… if you want to create gorgeously authentic profile pics. The word that comes to mind for me when looking at the profile pics in this article is creepy. Creepy AF. But that’s just me. I know I’m likely to biased but…it’ll always be a ‘hell no’ from me.

Wanna transform your dating life in 30 days? Um… yeah that reel went so much better in my head 😂 Can you tell I’ve had a month off from the ‘gram!? Jeez. Anyways ~ I’ve just shared a blogpost ‘30 Day Challenge Ideas that will Transform your Dating Life’. 30 day challenges can be life-changing …. but really adopting a dating challenge is about allowing yourself to become more playful and experimental with your dating life. The goal here isn’t to find your soulmate. It’s about + throwing yourself into the middle of life + chucking out your rule book + rewriting your dating story + discarding those awful checklists + taking risks + getting ghosted + challenging your expectations + accepting the sting of rejection + showing up as your wonderfully weird self + feeling cherished + getting butterflies Yeah there was no way my menopausal brain was going to remember all that for the reel, so no wonder I went off topic. But I digress… So yes, basically they help you throw yourself into the glorious, messy joy that is life. When it’s couched as a challenge though, you’ll find it’a much easier to accept whatever life throws at you, because it’s ‘just an experiment’.

2022 - you’ve been a trip I’ve said goodbye to both my beloved in-laws ❤️ And a different kind of goodbye to my therapist, after 5 years of working together…although the inner and outer transformation will go on, Richard, I promise. But, alongside the awesomeness of Hey Saturday, it’s also been a wild ride through lots of new and old favourite places from Paris to Los Angeles and it’s provided so many moments of mischievous joy with friends and family, but most of all with my favourite person on the planet who, as of a week ago, I’m lucky enough to call my hubby ❤️ 2023?

The Two Key Ingredients for a Great Dating Profile 📣 new blog post alert 📣 A new study has just dropped that encourages dating app users to embrace originality when creating their dating profile text. Just as I encourage our clients to visually show how they stand out from others in their profile pictures, this study has backed up what dating experts, like James Preece, have been saying all along too… Lose the generic, cliché-ridden text and share something meaningful instead - like what makes you special/different from everyone else. The researchers attempted to understand what precisely makes for compelling profile text. They found that highly original text tended to contain one or more of the following 5 elements: • Metaphorical expressions (e.g. “I’m a rock-star at cooking curries” vs “I’m a good cook”) • Vivid descriptions & imagery ….. ..

Love this tried and tested hack for our clients who aren’t feeling ‘enough’ the day of their dating photoshoot. The moment they take hold of something that brings them joy - their camera, their yoga mat, their boxing gloves, their paintbrush or whatever it may be - they immediately relax, smile and feel at ease with themselves. I love this moment so much and it creates such great profile pics ✨ All photos taken by US & UK Hey Saturday photographers.
