My friend told me I should write something about men. I’m not exactly sure what she was expecting me to write. I’m a reasonably single woman [lol.] and, well, I have no problem with men.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard girls complaining and whining about men…. about how they’re no good or how they never say or do the right thing or how they always get caught cheating, etc. But those same girls who I listen to complain are always with a man. And more often than not, they’re with the same man they’re always whining about! My question is, if men are so bad, why are you always with one???!
It is easy to drift from relationship to relationship hoping that the next man will be different. But the more difficult task to take on, especially since we as women are so prone to nurture and thrive in meaningful relationships, is to be content enough in your own skin to be alone.
I know you’ve heard it and read it a billion times before. I’m not going to go on and on about finding your joy and crap. BUT how about you embrace singledom and have a little fun?
I don’t whine and complain about men because I don’t give them the opportunity to act up. Why waste the time? I date. I have fun. [[pimp,pimp....hoorayyy!lol.]] But at the end of the day, I know that I haven’t met the man who will sufficiently compliment my most fabulous qualities. I also know that I can’t just keep someone around who has a few of the qualities that I hope to find in a man, expecting him to magically change. That concept is not only nonsense, it is settling for less.
Ultimately, men only get away with what your limited expectations allow them to. And, when you get to a higher plane of thinking, that thing that says: “Yea. He’s grimy, but he never deserved me.”, you’ll realize that there’s something to be said for loving and respecting what God made.
My name is Nadia. Yes, I’m single…. and I’m enjoying every bit of it!!!
