The Making of the Manfunnel
Flashback to the city that never sleeps….
I spent 15 years living a fast-paced life in Manhattan filled with fun and adventure.
Growing up, a self-proclaimed tomboy, I wasn't the type of girl who dreamt of fairy-tale weddings. While other little girls were writing their crushes name in hearts on the back of their notebooks, I was skateboarding, fishing and following my beloved big brother around town!
After college, I followed my brother to Manhattan where I hung out with him and his friends immersing myself in a world where I thought being the "cool girl" seemed like the key to a man's heart.
Running around New York with guys as my best friends, I saw the inner workings of the male mind and how they operated with women. I knew how the players played and a part of me wanted to be one of them….
“Guys were easy for me when I was young because I was basically one of them! It’s easy to connect with boys at school when you loved micro-machines and remote-controlled race cars, but later in life I realized this only went so far.”
Meet Megan, the former tomboy turned relationship guru who once thought her dating destiny had an expiration date.

former serial dater….
I may not have been a boy-crazy teenager but once I hit my 20s I made up for lost time!
I was happy, single, and dating tons of men in Manhattan! I lost count at about 75 boyfriends…
There was the ginger finance jew, the sexy pro-ball player, the handsome hedgefunder, the mysterious middle eastern prince… I wanted to taste all of the metaphorical cookies in the dating cookie jar.
Right around the time I was about to turn 30, I realized I was craving a more genuine connection. I was ready for.……dare I say it? LOVE.
But here's the twist: I found myself settling for 80 percent of what I wanted in a partner. Smart but not attractive? No problem. Loyal but financially unstable? I could overlook that.
Every single guy I dated (and had genuine feelings for) ended it with ME before our one-year anniversary.
The problem wasn’t that I couldn’t attract a man, the problem was that I couldn’t hang on to them…
My mother once asked, "Megan, you're so cute, how come you can't keep a man?" It was time for me to accept the cold hard truth. I was the common denomitator in all of my failed attempts at love.
On the eve of my 35th birthday, I woke up and realized: holy crap, I’m going to have to put 35 on my online dating profile! As a now 40 something year old women I recognize how silly that sounds! But at the time, after being so brainwashed by my “guy gang” I was convinced it was an absolute nightmare! Not only was I turning 35…. a frightening milestone! But would another 5 years go by and I’d find myself 40 and alone?
On the eve of my 35th birthday The Manfunnel Method was born…
I vowed to myself that not only would I be married within a year, but I wouldn’t settle on anyone who wasn’t 100 percent what I wanted……
I met and married my husband, Josh, within a year…
We were engaged after six months. Four months after that, we said “I, Do” at my dream location at The Sunset Beach Hotel on Shelter Island, New York.
This wasn’t impulsive; it was intentional. I wanted to prove that finding love doesn’t have to be a long, winding road.
Next year, Josh and I will celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary!
It took me years to realize that love isn’t about compromises; it’s about finding someone who meets your standards, aligns with your values, and embraces you for who you are.
I thought being in a long-term relationship was about making trade-offs. I didn’t believe I could have it all…
Luckily, I was wrong!
I’ve now made it my life’s mission and purpose to help other women meet and marry the man of their dreams! Whether you are ready to start a family or are dating again after decades of marriage, it’s never too late to find love!
