My uncle told me, “Women today are too independent, Men don't feel needed anymore” I asked him, “Why does a woman being capable of taking care of herself make you feel less like a man?” He said, “Because men are supposed to provide” I asked, “Then what happens when she can provide for herself?” He said, “She'll stop respecting him” I looked at him and said, “Or maybe she’ll finally have the freedom to respect a man because she genuinely admires him, not because she depends on him” He went quiet. I wasn't trying to win the argument. I just wanted him to hear how strange that sounds when you say it out loud.
If a man flirts with you knowing you have a boyfriend, he doesn't think you're a great woman.He thinks you're easy and not loyal.
If he knows you're taken and still slides,it's not a compliment. It's an insult with cologne on it.
He looked at you, looked at your man, and decided: "She's not that loyal. He's not that much of a threat. I can take this."
And if you smile? If you laugh? If you "don't want to be rude"? You just told him: "My loyalty is negotiable. My man is optional. Try harder."
High-value men don't flirt with taken women. Low-value men do. And they only do it because they smell weakness. They smell a woman who likes attention more than she loves her man.
Today’s Mantra:
I AM releasing and receiving.
I surrender and let go of anything
no longer serving me.
I open and welcome greater joy,
health, abundance and all
that is meant for me.
