  • Listen!


    It seems to me the biggest roadblock in modern society isn't TV, technology or even popular culture's the degradation of women. Simply put, it is you. Somehow, somewhere, we have gone off path and stopped listening to OURSELVES. In all this modern bru-ha-ha of sexy and single and useless dating advise, the biggest part of the equation is missing... YOU.

    You have all the answers inside of you. You know what is right for you. You know who is good to date. Which guy is a jerk and only wants have sex. You know who the players are, who the good guys are, and which one of the two is a good match. You know which one is going to break your heart even before you do the "deed." You know damn well who is going to call you back and which jackass is going to let your call go straight to voice mail because he is hunting new prey, until he is bored, drunk, or too lazy to find someone new. You Know.

    Ladies, what we need to do is listen to ourselves. We have to quiet our senses so we can make sense of the world around us. I challenge every woman out there; before you take that sip of wine or buy another needless outfit you can't afford or call your single girlfriend who's been dumped more times than a recyclable bottle ask yourself this question:

    Is this man really right for you? Does he challenge you to become a better person? Does he make your spirit soar and bring out the best in you?

    And if not... Listen....

    "Is this man really right for you? Does he challenge you to become a better person? Does he make your spirit soar and bring out the best in you?"

    That's some of the best advice I've ever seen on Datingish.

    he's dreamy and makes mini froggies do somersaults in my intestines does that count

    Amen sister! I try to lie to myself all the time, but at the end of the day, I pretty much always saw it coming...and went there anyway.

    A few times I was genuinely surprised, but not many.

    i personally found this to be the most naive and cheesy post ive ever seen. I don't KNOW who is going to make me happy.  and im sick of these claims that 'society' is doing this or 'society' is doing that. get over yourself

  • bonfiredancer

    Yes. If I had listened to my gut, trusted my instincts, I would have avoided a lot of broken hearts & gross experiences. They were lessons, yes, but lessons that told me even more to TRUST MYSELF!

    That quote has never a truer application than in the dating world.

    Well said.

    I used to fall for the jerks who made me something I am not! I did so many horrible things for these past relationships- mostly to myself, even if I knew it was wrong. I let myself be cheated and used...when I should've known so much better. I pushed away everyone that loved me for people that didn't even care about me.

    This was a fantastic post. I'm so happy I've found someone who has made me find the best in myself and accepts me for my flaws and gives me all the happiness I could ever want.

    Very cool!

    is this man really right for you? nope, not that I think about it, the past few months have helped me determine this


    Does he challenge you to become a better person? He made me dig deeper into myself to make me relazie I was worth so much more and that I dont need him to achieve the goals I WANT. 
    Does he make your spirit soar and bring out the best in you? he used to, I shone, but when his life isnt going right, its like mine CANT go right. 
    I was battling these questions and myself for a while and im happy that i have such a better grip and such a positive outlook on my life and situation.
    now as for meeting people.. and us women knowing whats right and wrong, your so right.. but we take a chance to try something different anyway! 
    great post!
