Are You Too Good For These Men?

My daughter, with her wise self said: we could have all been married if that is all we wanted. But we wanted more and we wouldn't settle. It is not all about looks, income, etc. with a man, it is about how they treat us and respect us.

She went on to tell me she is so glad I did not marry her father, who is an alcoholic, because she would not have had the loving life she has had with just a single parent. I had to sit down on that one.

We know too many women who marry for the sake of being married and end up divorced with children five years later. Why? Because deep down inside all they really wanted was the wedding and the status that goes along with being Mrs. so and so.

So should we be judgemental? IMO no, because that implies judging the book by its cover. Should we be discerning? Absolutely. If you start reading the book and it does not appeal to you, then put it on the shelf and find a new book to read.

This was so well said and profound Ladygreek! I also know tons of females that are willing to hook up or marry guys that are just shells. That's not me at all and I choose not go that route.

I also agree with the majority of the women here who say that these men probably like the wrong women.

Lastly, DSTChaos where do you live because I'm not surrounded by those "plethora of men" you were referring to!
