Single in Sin City

I was raised by 2 great men ~ my older brothers. They weren’t perfect but they took care of me like a princess, they taught me how to be independent, they told me that if a man could not care for me like they did, he didn’t deserve me. They spoiled the heck out of me and set me up to be a dating failure; they just didn’t know it! Lol just kidding kind of… As I grew into a queen, for some reason I adopted a mindset that all men were kings & to be treated as such. Reality has proved otherwise, the kings I have had the pleasure to meet have been few & far between. I’ve have met a lot of jesters though. So nowadays this has me wondering… Is this them or is it me?
I know too many women…Excellent women, educated, independent, good providers with great personalities who are; yes you guessed it S-I-N-G-L-E!
It seems like the more educated a woman is or the more financially independent she is, the smaller and smaller her dating pool is. If I hear that a man is intimidated by me, one more time I am literally going to scream, yes at the top of my lungs, scream AHHHHHHHHH!!!
What is it about today’s man that is afraid of a strong woman? You would think that a man would want someone who can take care of his home, care for his children, satisfy his every need in the bedroom and run a business all in one breath! That is not the case. Is there such a thing as being too strong? What about the women who can do all of the above and still make him feel like a man; why is she still at home twiddling her thumbs every weekend waiting for the phone to ring?
Are men even settling down anymore?  It really appears as if most men would rather remain single. Is being unattached a curse to women but a blessing to men, maybe so I don’t know.
It seems like the only options a girl has is to settle for that man who she knows is no good for her or get with the one with multiple women and just hope she’s next in line or she can keep twiddling her thumbs, hoping and praying that the sweet Lawd will bless her with her knight in shining armor and hope that he shows up before her garage is full of cobwebs. I don’t suggest she do the first two so you tell me…what’s a girl to do?
Until next time...

The only thought that comes to my head after reading your comment is...In the meantime. In the meantime we live and we enjoy our lives to the fullest. We focus on what we have instead of what we feel we lack. We appreciate the good times...Much L♥ve to you Anonymous
