Why settle for second best from fear of being alone?? WHY??
Why date a guy who treats you like s***, doesn't keep promises, lets you down, doesn't compliment you daily, texts instead of calls??
Ladies we need to raise the bar on how we're treated by guys, then and only then will there be a better class of guy out there if they're not given the opportunity of taking advantage of us!!

To Flash: Ok a few texts are allowed, I was referring to the guys that only text their girls.
Blah I've had enough of this, I was mearly trying to help a few girls out there with low self esteem and put up with dick for fear of being alone.
Ladies just read "He's just not that into you" by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillio, get wise and move on!! Only £4.99 from play.com the best £5 a girl could spend!!

Girls, once reach their "marriageable" age, tends to feel pressure from the family and society. People will start speculating if you are a lesbian or simply because you are undesirable. Especially in the Asian society. Women should be independent. Love is important but we only live once, I'm not settling and getting married for the sake of meeting the society "standard" practise.

Ok so, let me see if I get this right. The first couple things I agree with, if he treats you like sh*t, doesn't EVER keep promises and CONSTANTLY lets you down, that is completely understandable and I couldn't agree more. but compliment you DAILY? I promise there will be days you won't deserve a compliment, but I digress.... I agree that a relationship is an effort but a daily compliment is asking alot, for ANYONE male or female. I'm in a relationship now, that I may end soon if this problem doesn't, stop. I never get an encouraging word and am insulted constantly. I honestly believe that we should take some things and appreciate that we get them at all. Compliments are great, but everyday not only is hard to do, but after a while your going to think they are hollow and insincere. How about every other day? 6 out of 7 days, as often as we can? Now, the text issue....what's the problem getting a text instead of a call? You should be pissed if he doesn't contact you at all. But at least he is making an effort and making contact with you. I have to text my baby because of my work load and the poor reception..I only have a few seconds sometimes to send it. I believe you're spoiled and just are a very demanding person. I'm not saying this to insult you just making an observation. I promise you if your that demanding and unyielding, the only men that you will be able to keep you won't be able to respect because they will have a weak personality and won't think for themselves. Sorry just my observation and opinion.

Alot of men start off with the best intentions, to treat a lady like a lady, you know, do all the sweet things that make you feel special. But then we get s#*t on, so for some men and I stress some, will go the other way and 'do un to others as they do un to you' Shame, a real shame!

Yes i agree with you. I'd much sooner be alone than be treated like dirt, although i'm in the process of getting out of a bad relationship. I've met someone who treats me so well and who i love to death, I can't understand why i've put up with crap for all these years. Oh, by the way, are you my twin avator??!!! Lol

Always put trash in the bin honey!
Aim high. Accept no compromise.
Treat them the same way that you want to be treated though. It's a 2 way street. Guys want to be treated with respect, courtesy and dignity too.
A good one comes along eventually!

Yes, I agree. We need to make guys into gentlemen again. It is up to us as mothers and girlfriends and wives to create boys with a sense of respect and obligation towards women.

You are right........You have to love yourself before a guy can even respect you.........You can be married and be alone.......exercise daily...eat right...be happy with you..have friends ...keep busy ...and the right guy will come along..guys like girls who know who they are...and what they want...but still a lot of woman...Wake up so you can be the one who picks the guy...You will look happy and be happy

I agree with you. This is what I keep telling my female friends (and the male ones who are in similar situations).
