It does genuinely warm my heart to see young women tenacious about holding onto their standards and not willing to be bludgeoned into accepting men’s disgusting behavior just to not be lonely or whatever. We can have whatever we want! We do not need to lower a single standard
I’d rather stay single forever than to go into every relationship with the thought that I’m actively getting cheated on, I’m sorry but that sounds miserable 😭
In the same way, people who are brutally honest are never brutally honest about praising you or being kind. It's always the bad stuff they have to say that they feel the inability to temper.
I hope younger women know that when an older woman says to you, “your standards are too high, you’ll never find a man who meets them” it isn’t really about you, they’re just thinking about all the things they’ve had to settle for
