Telling the truth is important in a relationship of any kind. When you don't speak your truth it may signal your reluctance to confront what is really going on inside of you. Sweeping things under the rug makes it more difficult to address the underlying reasons. Lying is generally fear-based. Facing issues can relieve the stress and help you get on with life and rekindle relationships.

John discusses Smart Women. The prevailing thought is that men are too intimidated by smart women. It's not uncommon to have breakdowns in communication, but to assume it's intimidation leaves out the real possibility of a connection based on mutual mutual respect in the union of the sexes. Men appreciate smart women and in fact see them as allies. The perception that a woman has to dumb it down to attract a man is a mistake that has to be rewritten.

John asks how long do you wait to have physical intimacy? The honeymoon phase of a relationship provides a huge spark to wanting and having sex. Yet this impulse jumps over the asking of why do you want to be physically intimate with this person. Pleasure seeking makes this a compelling reason to ask these questions ahead of time, and before you get stuck with someone with whom you don't find much else in common.

John asks the question, wha'ts your love worth to them? Its begs the question because as individuals we look at relationships from the perspective of our own needs or pleasure. This spins the question to inquire that you consider why someone would want to be in relationship with you. What do you bring to the table in terms of nurturing, stability, kindness etc? These subjects reflect a person's character in a relationship which would be highly desirable. This levels the playing field in terms of being relational as opposed to creating connections based on looks or finances.
