ANGELES TIMES - JUNE 17, 2001 "SINGLE
: NOTHING BUT CONFUSION
IN MODERN DATING GAME"
SOUL (MATE)
SEARCHING To be single and dating today is to know true despair. Why does
relating to the opposite sex seem so impossible? ...
"That is where it gets complicated", says Renee Piane, owner of LOVEWORKS,
a dating and personal coaching company in Brentwood. "Most
people walk around with the fantasy of what they want, but it's not in line with
their heart and soul," says Piane, who interviewed hundreds of singles over
six years for a cable television show. "You have to look at the spirit of
the other person, which makes you look at your own spirit. A lot of people don't
want to do that. They don't want to go that deep. "Add
to the strain the changing roles between men and women, and it's a wonder anybody
makes it to the altar these days," says Piane, who has never been married.
"It's harder
today because women are so much more independent, and the men don't know what
their role is and they'll confused," she says. "The
women of the world need to realize that we have shifted. We've become a more powerful
and commanding presence, very much like men. I think both men and women need to
send out vibrations of openness. People get so weary." 'WHAT
MEN REALLY WANT' "You
ladies have to flirt with men!" the petite Piane rises out of her chair and
yells! "Men
are stimulated by your beauty," coaxes Piane. "But, this is LA, home
to the most beautiful and unapproachable women in the world. Men get rejected
and rejected. Be loving! Be friendly to everyone! Men will feel safe." #
