Ok this is usually the time of year where men and women alike start trying to get that special someone for the colder weather. I've written about this from several different angles. Here is another one regarding a woman's self-worth.
Alicia Keys wrote and recorded a song over a decade ago "A Woman's Worth." The gist of it is that women will lower themselves to the lowest common denominator just to have someone. They will be with a mate that abuses them physically and mentally, neglects them, and simply doesn't have much to offer in return. They pretty much prefer to be committed and miserable than single and lonely.
The title is simple my females: you DESERVE MORE!!!
Now I'm not just talking money, jewelry, or other material possessions. It's always nice when someone can take care of you financially. However, love yourself and know your worth. Make that person want to love you as well, show you affection, laugh with you, be your best friend. That's what really counts in the end.
Now I'm not one to reference Steve Harvey often but he was right in saying sometimes you have to require more of yourself from suitors. That's right, raise and adjust those standards. Get the man that will go the extra mile. Have that person that will stand tall for you and not back down when the going gets tough. You need you a warrior on your team.
It's time to stop complaining about the lack of good men when you are dating the same "type" of man. Look within yourself and see what you attract. Often you will find you're better than that.
So ladies, please don't settle, simply settle down when that real love comes along. Leave the games on the playground and go get what is yours!
