Anti Aging Hacks & Strength Training

Timmerie and pro-matchmaker Cristina Pineda talk about a pretty relevant topic in the dating world: how important is physical attraction in a relationship? This episode starts with a story of a woman highlighted in an online column who found her "perfect guy": except she doesn’t find him attractive. Is it worth sticking it out, or is it time to swipe left?



Here’s what Timmerie and Cristina unpacked about the role of attraction in relationships:



Reality Check on “Perfect Looks”



We all carry ideas from our younger years (thanks, Hollywood) of what we think our “type” should look like: often unrealistically perfect. But as people age, real qualities like kindness, reliability, and faith become way more important than abs or a square jawline. Cristina pointed out how clients of hers are shifting their priorities too, favoring qualities like intelligence and stability over flawless looks.



Looks Aren’t the Whole Picture



Cristina shares that attraction can grow with time. When a person’s character aligns with your values: like wanting marriage, kids, or faith alignment, looks start to matter less. Plus, they discuss “SRS” (Sudden Repulsion Syndrome): if you hit that level of disgust, okay, time to reconsider. But if things line up on core values and you enjoy their company, keep going!



Don’t Let Outsiders Mess with Your Heart



Timmerie and Cristina raise a solid point: loved ones need to butt out when it comes to commenting on your partner's appearance. Even “harmless” comments like, “Really? Him?” can make someone second-guess. Whether it’s an innocent family comment or that friend who thinks she’s being “helpful,” those remarks can stick and undermine what’s otherwise a good thing. 



Advice for Singles: Don’t Settle on What Matters



Don’t compromise on deal-breakers like shared values, faith, and character, but don’t be too quick to dismiss someone who’s kind and shares your faith. Give it time to see if that spark grows! And if you're struggling with outsider opinions or doubts, bring it to prayer and stay focused on what really matters in a relationship.



TL;DR



Looks fade, but a good person’s heart and character stay strong. If someone treats you well and has the qualities you want in a spouse, keep giving them a chance. Focus on the lasting qualities, not just the immediate attraction.

Parenting the soul of a child

Loving your family living alternative lifestyles with therapist Michael Gasparro who specialized in sexual incongruence and same sex attraction. (4:28) What does the Church teach about same sex attraction?  What causes it? (23:08) Parenting the soul of a child. (43:10)


Resources mentioned : 

Catechism of the Catholic Church 2357-2359:

Chastity and homosexuality

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
