Used with author's permission.</font></small><!-- AdCentsPro --> <p>A couple of weeks ago, I watched a Sex and the City episode, in which Charlotte, in her never-ending quest to find true love, attends a seminar to teach her how to do just that.</p> <p>She drags Carrie along, who scoffs at the whole thing. She thinks both the women who got sucked into attending and the seminar leader are sad and ridiculous.</p> <p>To attract the right men, the crowd is counseled to use affirmations, which Carrie finds preposterous. These suckers actually think they're going to meet guys by reciting a string of useless words!</p> <p>During the presentation, Charlotte raises her hand to ask the leader a question. She says something like, "I've been using my affirmations, but I still haven't found the right one."</p> <p>Slightly annoyed, the leader says, you have to get out there, you have to love yourself, and so on.</p> <p>Carrie grabs the mic from Charlotte and insists, "She is out there."</p> <p>The leader says something, but Carrie drowns her out, "She is out there."</p> <p>As far as Carrie's concerned, the seminar is a scam. There are probably no decent men left on the planet. The good ones are married, and the rest have issues.</p> <p>Now, I enjoy watching Sex and the City. It's fun. It's light. It takes my mind off more serious things.</p> <p>But it is not real life!</p> <p>Carrie may discount the power of affirmations, but I didn't. If you aim to attract a wonderful man, you shouldn't, either.</p> <p>They work.</p> <p>Even better, they're free.</p> <p>Indeed, they are one of the most important methods I used to attract the right man for me(who I've been happily married to for almost 13 years).</p> <p>After years of dating losers, schmoozers, and No-Show Joes, I attracted a loyal, loving, reliable, successful, fun man by using affirmations.</p> <p>If you want to attract a man who is worthy of you, who will add to your happiness, then decide what qualities you want in a man and write an affirmation in the present tense:</p> <p>I am happily married to (or in a relationship with) a ____, ____, _____, ______ man.</p> <p>Write it ten times a day. Recite it in the shower. Repeat it to yourself as you're falling asleep at night.</p> <p>Give it time. You could start attracting better men within weeks. If you've been hurt or have trouble trusting men, it will take more time.</p> <p>But keep it up. Keep it to yourself. You'll find out that it's worth it.</p> <p>By all means, keep watching Sex and the City. Just remember that it's fiction. Few people, men or women, actually behave like its characters in Manhattan or anywhere else.</p> Terry Hernon MacDonald is the author of How to Attract and Marry the Man of Your Dreams.

Sure it's fun to watch, but if you confuse real-life with Sex and the City, you're setting yourself up for loneliness.
