The worst thing that has ever happened to me is having casual sex. I didn’t know it was bad, I was in high school, everyone was doing it and telling me it was a good thing. I didn’t learn until years later the horrible consequences of this. I am still traumatized from it. This is a tragedy for me honestly and I wish that society taught me this. I will definitely be teaching my daughters about this (if I have them)
Your future husband and children will be so blessed to have you. Your comment shows that you have a good moral compass, take ownership of your own behavior, and want to set a good example in front of others. That's amazing and something to be so proud of.
Please STOP STOP STOP distinguishing between Catholics and Protestants as CATHOLICS & CHRISTIANS. That's such an insult to Catholics. Say the word PROTESTANT.
@@petrichor5294 It is like this only in USA. Here in Europe we are all christians (ortodox, catholic and protestants). I think this is protestants agenda to state that they are only true christians and catholic and ortodox aren't christians at all.
Love your interviews! Not sure if it’s a possibility you’d even be interested in but I would be so interested for you to interview Kevin James! I always see clickbait articles about his Catholic faith but I’d be so interested to see how he applies it to his work in Hollywood. I can tell it’s important to him just by how much cleaner his comedies are than others but I’d like to know more
Say what? First, manners, welcome to Alessandra Conti! Second, I read the timestamps and Father Mike Schmitz is mentioned! Yipppe. Lila, I struggle with cynicism but when it comes to people who I've trusted on the internet who are decent sincere Catholics and I just told my friend this, and it's not the first time, it's you, Father Mike Schmitz, Trent Horn, and Jimmy Akin.
@@neenupaulson1449 Thank you for the recommendation. I heard him on Pints With Aquinas. There's many Catholics I've liked listening to including Lila's guests! Last week, listening to Lila's interview with Jessica Ray was wonderful!
"If you don't have love"........correct. As a nurse, and some one who has had broken hearted syndrome, it's real. Life with out love leads to autoimmune diseases too.
If I had to go back in time knowing what I know now about relationships and do it over, I would not date. My personal standard would be to hang out in groups only, never alone with a man. It would allow the energy between me and a possible candidate to be natural without pressure. It would also protect me from sin and him from temptation. My alone time would be phone chats. And any guy who actually seriously likes you will respect that and understand you are setting yourself up to wait for marriage by never putting yourself in the lion's den to begin with. All this dating with the need to perform and audition is truly a culprit in why so many of us go through unecessary heartbreaks and failed relationships one after another. If we ladies just had higher standards and only allowed ourselves to mingle in groups, we wouldn't form these ridiculous emotional attachments before knowing a man. Make the man a familiar person to you before ever considering a date. That would have been my plan knowing what I know now.
this is why I changed to hangout than go on 'dates.' Hanging out allows for the person to be themselves and not feel like it's a performance or an interview. I'm so over that
Great stuff sisters! What I just disagree with is the outfit choice for the first date. Maybe for nonbelievers that fitted dress could work, but for us brothers a more modest dress that’s poofy or more drapey is more of a green flag. Not saying frumpy at all BTW 😂
As someone who has tested out different ways to dress and the effect it had, you sir are so right! I typically like form-fitting clothes, but for my first times out with my now husband, I dressed VERY modestly, especially for where we live (Las Vegas) and he was so used to going our with women showing everything that he was really taken aback by me being more conservative, in a good way!
A dowry isn't something paid to a man from the woman's family, at least not in European cultures. A dowry is the woman's exclusive inheritance. It's functionally equivalent to a contemporary life insurance policy on the husband's life.
@@Waldemarvonanhalt wrong, but thanks for playing. American heritage dictionary: dowry /dou′rē/ noun 1. Money or property brought by a bride to her husband at marriage.
Christian man here: I do not care about puffy sleeves 😂 Criteria: (1) Loves God and neighbour as self (2) Warm, kind, loving, maternal, family orientated (3) Accepting and willing to accept male vulnerability and be affectionate and compliment (4) Intelligent (5) Devoted life to helping people (e.g. in a career as a nurse, doctor, charity, volunteering, etc) Also, physical attractiveness, but this is less important than these.

Woah, you gotta pro! Looking forward to learning to be in the know! Good morning, Lila and everybody! "Liked" before listening (and figuratively, will like and during listening so I don't undo the literal "like"=)
Longer the list of requirements, more clueless a person is regarding how attraction works in general. People tend to lie to themselves and label artificial "could be nice to have" traits as mandatory, but natural needs will always supersede fake requirements. Women usually benefit from being reserved even if they have a high body count. While physical attraction is important, bedroom fun doesn't guarantee long-term success.
1:14:00 -- I think the trauma bond temptation which is subconscious, is a way for some one who is maybe hyper vigilant, on guard for being hurt and part of the "assessment".just a woman in her 40s with plenty of experience as a nurse knowing thousands of people, NFP practitioner, and single chaste women who has been working on herself and can tell you most christians are NOT working on themselves. Can't just "pray it away"....gotta do the WORK!
It seemed like the podcast was basically an advertisement for a high-end business that most Catholics can't afford! Here are questions that I think should have been asked: 1. Is it ethical to charge someone $10,000 - $90,000 for something that is not guaranteed? What exactly is being provided for that amount of money? Is the required style/ wardrobe/ makeup stuff included in that price? It sounds predatory to me, but perhaps the idea is that celebrities have a lot of extra cash and so it doesn't matter? This is an important question if Conti is being held up as a Catholic business person (which this podcast does). 2. Similarly, are the people who pay $200 to be placed on a database given any sort of return on investment? 3. What is the actual success rate in the business? You established that there are "thousands" of marriages and only 12 divorces, but how many people have been successfully matched v. how many have paid $10,000+ and left empty-handed? What is the percentage breakdown of men v. women who seek their services?
Weirdly, they focused on the wrong "success rate" figure. It's not how many marriages did not divorce; it's the match rate people want to know about. Yes, it's a big advertisement for her firm, but the guest was also generous with information she had learned from years of doing this work.
@@derek4412 She said she was matching making for a household-name celebrity, someone everyone would know. Then that person suddenly passed away in 2023.
Do everything you need to do to be the best version of yourself as a man and the rest leave it to God. I say that as a single young man who wants to marry.
47:06 Mmmm that’s a word right there. I relate to that so much and women in their 20s like me have such strong feelings about both of these tropes. I never quite of thought of it like a spectrum before 😅
Something here just doesn’t seem right to me… I don’t know why, but in my spirit there is a warning. PRAY before you move forward. I also think that her prices are ridiculous!
I don’t think necessarily that would be the case if you find a photographer that you love their style! Maybe a friend that’s a photographer that knows you well, or a photographer that gets to know you first. Outdoor photos are great for fitting personalities
I’m curious how they track all of the couples they matched for 12 years to know if they’re still married? How do you know that there has been only 1 divorce but not know exactly how many couples you have matched?
Most important compatibility item for me: religious beliefs! However, I'm in a smaller non-denominational group with less than 2,000 young adults both single and married male and female around the world, the options are slim. Wish I could use this matchmaking service, but there's almost zero chance of finding someone who shares my beliefs who is in the service to be matched with!
Great interview. But the guest matchmaker struggled quiet a bit with articulating her main points. She'd start to say something then go off on a tangent with a random example. I found it hard to follow her.
Yes! Have her back on🙌 love all the dating advice ...also can you talk about pornography and if clients talk about this at all in any context ... it's such a problem and addictive habit or full on addiction for some and it has influenced the dating pool. Any thoughts or wisdom on this would be great please!!! Thank you
Suuuuuuch a problem I've been screaming (and whispering) about for decades. I saw the coming in early 2000s when the "smart" phones came out. Porn makes it all worse, and the phones make porn worse. It's a NIGHTMARE. I'm 45, single eligible, Catholic woman and it's a hot mess :( Depressing actually. The anti humanity efforts is a plandemic in itself and I saw that coming. Anti social media is a HUGE addiction for most and I don't participate.
@@Hrvoje876They say it is pretty essential, which it is if you want the human race to continue. If you are happy remaining single, that's fine, but most people want to have someone in their lives, and for those who accept Christian morality, that means a spouse.
For my first date with my husband I wore: a long brown skirt, and a feminine but simple black satin blouse. The outfit made me look slim, understated, and classy. I was comfortable, wasn’t “showing it all” but also highlighted my best features 👍🏼 would recommend.
It really let my natural beauty come through without being distracting nor enticing, but also not just boring and plain. It was a standout from the environment, which is key to creating interest.
Our italian blood causes that -- we're emphatic and expressive. That's probably some of it. Also, though for them, they are Californians, so that valley girl twist is also likely why. Strong traits in blood though over all - passion
I don’t think it could be the latter because I imagine you have to be over 18 and she first worked with this individual over a decade ago if I am not mistaken.
*lost I can’t speak for Catholic men as I’m not one, and I can’t say it won’t be more difficult, but scripture says to submit your requests humbly before the lord. If God’s will is for you to remarry then you will.
Thinking a man is looking specifically for a woman who is wealthy is a way of projecting your ideals of what you're looking for in a man onto your idea of what men want.
while single, ladies, chastity as well as excavate your childhood wounds -- we ALL have them, to varying degrees and intensities but wounds will definitely lead you to or away from what you need, vs what is familiar. Some of us wanted marriage and family in our 20s, and while waiting, was doing the work to heal and grow as whole people, serving, and remained available. I dated (chaste, not always with perfection - that human experience thing ;) ) a lot in my 20s, early 30s...what was happening in that era? NO SMART DEVICES/antiSOCIAL media Pink elephant in the room for some of us. Add porn in? And hello, this is HUGE. This is not a small variable. Social skills, communication skills, ability to love and be loved, skills, curiosity (which means to care, in latin)...which are lost with porn and antisocial media. How and why? They are one way things, with no curiosity outside of immediate gratification. I'm not a big professional anyone, but I'm an "expert" in my experiences in my "field" of observation and reality. Great episode, you have wonderful people on your show, thanks.
I've told many unnattractive women I am not interested. But for the attractive ones, I do not say anything or else I would give up all hookup possibilities in the future lol. Girls hate rejection...they are not use to it
yes, but come on you know what they mean.. are you the single guy forever, latin Mass going but measure her skirt to ensure it's on the ground meanwhile use porn type? :) Just asking since I met hundreds over the years where you are corrected every other word.
1:200:00 -- Ave Maria Singles 101. Yes yes yes.....the spiritual abuse is real. The Blessed Mother photos behind the men in their selfies, the dates are all and only Mass, Confession, Adoration, Rosary......red flags to me as they usually can't emote, plan, relate, converse, etc. It can make you jaded honestly
I did not know about the puffy sleeve situation until I googled it, Reddit has a post about it which is the babydoll top, some men refer it as the boob curtain lool. This is so interesting cause I find babydoll tops cute for all women I did not know guys are quite turn off by it, apparently the most attractive women clothing to men is sundresses/ summer dresses.
I find waiting 3 months so tricky. With that said, my last relationship went into exclusivity very quickly and crashed and burned. But I feel uncomfortable with the idea of waiting so long. I wouldn’t want to almost.. ‘compete’ with other women he’s dating, or on the flip side get caught up in a ‘situationship’ where it isn’t exclusive but there’s blurred lines. Any advice?
I understand about the waiting but it's only 3 months... And try not to feel like you are competing with other women. It's only you and him, and be your beautiful self, learn more about relationships, femininity. And if it's meant to be it will if not, not...
A few things are out of touch: 1. Only desperate or clueless men are using dating apps to find serious relationships. They are hugely unsuccessful for them, in part because the women on there are looking for attention. Most women don’t need dating apps to get a relationship. 2. Men’s standards aren’t superficial. We find “hot” women attractive but also understand they don’t make the best companions. We’re content with, prefer in fact, women who are average to cute, in part because they are lower maintenance. And don’t even get me started on “men want billionaires”. 3. “Men should pay for first dates.” 1,000 times no.
intersecting subject, but I feel the guest was very nervous and confused. Also the video editor messed up during advertising sections. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
No, not nervous. She is enthusiastic, but also aware she's on a very Catholic venue, so maybe trying to be careful about her language. Why important to identify you are from Brazil? So sorry by the way what awful things are going on there! Prayers for you all there, and please pray for us here too. To only write with criticisms, is not too charitable. I think since it's already aired, it's not a loving correction. What I do is thank God for the person hosting, the person guesting, and any good that comes from it. Maybe consider some positives too. It's a very hard time to date and marry, mostly because of what wasn't elaborated on that I did comment, which is the pink elephant in the room surrounding how anti social media use and addiction, along with porn and the smart phone, ruined humanity, including Catholics (who often think they are holier than the world and yes, I'm Catholic but know enough to be wholistic and do my part with healing all areas).
Haha puffy sleeves.... but literally as a young woman they aren't my fav look on women all the time... depends how big they are for sure 😂inhad to get used to the trend, so it makes sense guys don't fall for it either
As an italian myself, I can tell you before they spoke, I knew they were Italian. Ears plugged, just looking at them, I knew. We know our own. Also, our passion is more intense than hispaniacs -- as in, we are passionate about agape love, service and gregarious expressionism. We also don't think we're perfect and the only culture :) DEFINITELY not hispanics. Hispanic women "tend" to be snooty, have an "air" about them and our men are different too. Very sensitive lovers, very feminine with emotion (not always good haha) and very masculine with taking care of business...money wise, DIY projects wise, cooking and cleaning, working hard in every facet. What we don't have is your awesome music to dance to!! LOVE the rhythms for dancing. I love the diversity of our cuisine though better. Yes, it's beyond "pizza and pasta" and no, Dominoes is not pizza ;) Nor is Kraft, cheese :) Hope you have or have captured your woman! :) Ciao y vaya con dios (our people had to learn your language because ours spoke English when they came here heehee)
Sorry but in every single relationship or marraige today the woman is always held superito the man. As a Cathcoli Christian I am opposed to that as is my duty.
Not the best way of looking at it. It’s a mutually assured destruction on both parties. I have so many young men in my men’s group have such pornrot in their brain and are unwilling to date women who aren’t supermodels. That said it is not just the men.

It really let my natural beauty come through without being distracting nor enticing, but also not just boring and plain. It was a standout from the environment, which is key to creating interest.
Thank you for this!!
I love hair, but if he is a humble, sacrificial, good friend and lover and bald? Bring him on.
They look like twins, even their facial movements and voices are similar
Our italian blood causes that -- we're emphatic and expressive. That's probably some of it. Also, though for them, they are Californians, so that valley girl twist is also likely why. Strong traits in blood though over all - passion
Hi Lila I hope you see this do you know of any novenas/fasting etc leading to the election
Matthew Perry? Any other guesses?
If you’re a believer, then you know there is no such thing as a “soul mate”.
Either Matthew Perry or Angus Cloud
I was thinking Matthew Perry, too. Such a gifted actor. He got the Covid jab, and also struggled with drugs.
I don’t think it could be the latter because I imagine you have to be over 18 and she first worked with this individual over a decade ago if I am not mistaken.
As a single mother over 40 that’s a revert to Catholicism,I’m afraid to ask if maybe I’m a loss cause to a good Catholic man.
*lost
I can’t speak for Catholic men as I’m not one, and I can’t say it won’t be more difficult, but scripture says to submit your requests humbly before the lord. If God’s will is for you to remarry then you will.
Thinking a man is looking specifically for a woman who is wealthy is a way of projecting your ideals of what you're looking for in a man onto your idea of what men want.
"I've been doing this for 12 years"....
I got married a year ago & THANK GOD l don’t have to date any more it was SO STRESSFUL. I dated a lot of frogs before l met now my husband. 🥴😂😖😬

“Date him til you hate him” in other words
Bring this lady back and combine the interview with Jennifer Roback Morse. Now that might be an interesting conversation.
while single, ladies, chastity as well as excavate your childhood wounds -- we ALL have them, to varying degrees and intensities but wounds will definitely lead you to or away from what you need, vs what is familiar. Some of us wanted marriage and family in our 20s, and while waiting, was doing the work to heal and grow as whole people, serving, and remained available. I dated (chaste, not always with perfection - that human experience thing ;) ) a lot in my 20s, early 30s...what was happening in that era? NO SMART DEVICES/antiSOCIAL media Pink elephant in the room for some of us. Add porn in? And hello, this is HUGE. This is not a small variable. Social skills, communication skills, ability to love and be loved, skills, curiosity (which means to care, in latin)...which are lost with porn and antisocial media. How and why? They are one way things, with no curiosity outside of immediate gratification. I'm not a big professional anyone, but I'm an "expert" in my experiences in my "field" of observation and reality. Great episode, you have wonderful people on your show, thanks.
Would Alessandra Conti help me out ? I live in Dallas, Texas single 38 I live alone in my own house no kids and 5'4
I've told many unnattractive women I am not interested.
But for the attractive ones, I do not say anything or else I would give up all hookup possibilities in the future lol. Girls hate rejection...they are not use to it
Your only soulmate is Jesus Christ.
yes, but come on you know what they mean.. are you the single guy forever, latin Mass going but measure her skirt to ensure it's on the ground meanwhile use porn type? :) Just asking since I met hundreds over the years where you are corrected every other word.
1:200:00 -- Ave Maria Singles 101. Yes yes yes.....the spiritual abuse is real. The Blessed Mother photos behind the men in their selfies, the dates are all and only Mass, Confession, Adoration, Rosary......red flags to me as they usually can't emote, plan, relate, converse, etc. It can make you jaded honestly
Alessandra, can an old dog (74) be taught new tricks?
as long as we're alive, we CAN LEARN. Just takes work and consistency, prayer and persistence. Neuroplasticity is a thing for a reason
I did not know about the puffy sleeve situation until I googled it, Reddit has a post about it which is the babydoll top, some men refer it as the boob curtain lool. This is so interesting cause I find babydoll tops cute for all women I did not know guys are quite turn off by it, apparently the most attractive women clothing to men is sundresses/ summer dresses.
I find waiting 3 months so tricky. With that said, my last relationship went into exclusivity very quickly and crashed and burned.
But I feel uncomfortable with the idea of waiting so long. I wouldn’t want to almost.. ‘compete’ with other women he’s dating, or on the flip side get caught up in a ‘situationship’ where it isn’t exclusive but there’s blurred lines.
Any advice?
I understand about the waiting but it's only 3 months...
And try not to feel like you are competing with other women. It's only you and him, and be your beautiful self, learn more about relationships, femininity. And if it's meant to be it will if not, not...
A few things are out of touch:
1. Only desperate or clueless men are using dating apps to find serious relationships. They are hugely unsuccessful for them, in part because the women on there are looking for attention. Most women don’t need dating apps to get a relationship.
2. Men’s standards aren’t superficial. We find “hot” women attractive but also understand they don’t make the best companions. We’re content with, prefer in fact, women who are average to cute, in part because they are lower maintenance. And don’t even get me started on “men want billionaires”.
3. “Men should pay for first dates.” 1,000 times no.
"Women have been fed this lie" is blaming outside influences for your internal beliefs. You dont have to believe what is told to you.
Good topic and taking some ado from this. Just an observation, you ladies talk over each other a bit much.
It's normal italian dynamics......I'd rather it be real, and found that wasn't a bad feature
Just looked her up . She’s a celebrity match maker 😂
Sorry but I don’t trust anything coming from Hollywood at all
great
Thank you for listening!
intersecting subject, but I feel the guest was very nervous and confused. Also the video editor messed up during advertising sections. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
No, not nervous. She is enthusiastic, but also aware she's on a very Catholic venue, so maybe trying to be careful about her language. Why important to identify you are from Brazil? So sorry by the way what awful things are going on there! Prayers for you all there, and please pray for us here too. To only write with criticisms, is not too charitable. I think since it's already aired, it's not a loving correction. What I do is thank God for the person hosting, the person guesting, and any good that comes from it. Maybe consider some positives too. It's a very hard time to date and marry, mostly because of what wasn't elaborated on that I did comment, which is the pink elephant in the room surrounding how anti social media use and addiction, along with porn and the smart phone, ruined humanity, including Catholics (who often think they are holier than the world and yes, I'm Catholic but know enough to be wholistic and do my part with healing all areas).
Haha puffy sleeves.... but literally as a young woman they aren't my fav look on women all the time... depends how big they are for sure 😂inhad to get used to the trend, so it makes sense guys don't fall for it either
Guys want a woman who'll make a great wife. If the girl is traditional and attractive the puffy sleeves are great.
Guys don’t care if sleeves are puffy or not, ultimately.
Every time I see puffed sleeves, I can't help but think of Anne of Green Gables, who was obsessed with them.
when you're already wider on top structurally, this is never in the closet haha
Real housewives of Hollywood but she says she's old school yeah alright. Women are doing men a service by letting men pay for a date😂😂😂😂
😊😊😊
Interview trump and Vance
italians? you both look hispaniacs! ❤❤
As an italian myself, I can tell you before they spoke, I knew they were Italian. Ears plugged, just looking at them, I knew. We know our own. Also, our passion is more intense than hispaniacs -- as in, we are passionate about agape love, service and gregarious expressionism. We also don't think we're perfect and the only culture :) DEFINITELY not hispanics. Hispanic women "tend" to be snooty, have an "air" about them and our men are different too. Very sensitive lovers, very feminine with emotion (not always good haha) and very masculine with taking care of business...money wise, DIY projects wise, cooking and cleaning, working hard in every facet. What we don't have is your awesome music to dance to!! LOVE the rhythms for dancing. I love the diversity of our cuisine though better. Yes, it's beyond "pizza and pasta" and no, Dominoes is not pizza ;) Nor is Kraft, cheese :)
Hope you have or have captured your woman! :) Ciao y vaya con dios (our people had to learn your language because ours spoke English when they came here heehee)
Pls collab with God Logic on TH-cam ❤️
Guys, be really good sports: no ball games without a diamond!
No. No ball games without the wedding first.
I wish more guys had this mentality.
"Successful women" who cant figure out how to mate😒🤭
Sorry but in every single relationship or marraige today the woman is always held superito the man. As a Cathcoli Christian I am opposed to that as is my duty.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
I have to say, lila, you and your hubby are an extremely attractive couple! 😘
Hallelujah!!! I’m favored and blessed with $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.
Oh really? Tell me more!
This is what Melissa Jonas Richard does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Melissa Jonas Richard, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Melissa Jonas Richard.
Datings been ruined and women ruined it.
😢
Men are not participating in fornication…riggghhht
Not the best way of looking at it. It’s a mutually assured destruction on both parties. I have so many young men in my men’s group have such pornrot in their brain and are unwilling to date women who aren’t supermodels. That said it is not just the men.
Fr
To a large extent, you are correct. Women have surrendered their power in romantic relationships for modern morality, which has not served them well.
I want a husband who can't talk.
