Interviewer(M) Pepper Schwartz(W)
Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
M: Pepper Schwartz is a sociologist and author of Prime: adventures and advice on love and the sensual years. Pepper, good morning to you.(1) Now this book is extremely personal.(2-1) You were married for 23 years and you’ve recently divorced. How did you feel about putting all of your personal business into a book?
W: Well, it was hard, I mean, to make a decision. Once you made the decision, you move ahead.(2-2) But I felt as an educator—I teach at the University of Washington—that(3) sometimes the best education is personal: your life, the ups, the downs, the heartbreaks, the triumphs, and then get some lessons from it.
M: So was it tough? I mean how you started off, getting back into the dating world, after 23 years of being married. What’s the first thing you did?
W:(4) Well, I tried to lose weight. That’s the first thing I did. But the second thing was just to get my mind in shape, just say: "OK, I really want to find somebody. " Then I went online.(2-3) I was actually already a relationship expert at Perfectmatch. com, but I had never done it myself. So I had to go.
M: So what’s it to go online?
W: Well. You know, you have to prepare your ego. Not everybody is going to want you: not everybody is going to meet you and say: "Oh, you are great. " They are going to say nothing. So, you have to deal with that.
M: I love the story you said about how you met a guy online who made "annualized noises during conversation" , and then you met this tattoo-clad French guy. But what I love about you is you didn’t just go plug your nose and say, "Oh, that was horrible. " You take little lessons away from these dates.
W: Oh, absolutely.(5-1) At the end of every chapter, I say, here is what I learned out of the lesson: here is what you can too. I think like an anthropologist, I am out in the world, learning things I wouldn’t normally learn. There is nothing I can’t be educated by. And I don’t even have to take this as "Oh, gosh, another bad date. " Because that’s what a lot of women do. They say: "OK, there are three bad dates. It’s over. I am not going there. I am done. "(5-2) No, you have to be able to be flexible, and look at it as education and you will find someone if you take, if you keep at it.
