I have to say, I'm a bit worried that I see so many people change who they are for whom their with. It is a trend that I fear is never going to end. Now a days it seems like if you know someone for more than a year, you'll see them become at least three different people in that time. This metemorphasis is not always a bad thing unless, however, the person is changing to please someone other than themselves. I'm all for evolution and growth, but the trend I'm seeing isn't growth, it's probably more of a step backwards than anything.
I was talking with a good friend last night, into the wee hours of the morning in-fact, about relationships, and how destructive they have become. Anymore it's like women define their self worth according to whom they're currently dating, and heaven forbid a woman be, GASP!, single. So many women never take the time to find a decent match for their empty hearted relationship, let alone finding themselves. Don't get me wrong, it's great to care for someone else. It just isn't healthy to convince yourself that you're in love with a person whom you really are just with because you don't want to be alone. Sure, there's probably some sentimentality for the very fact that you've shared your life with that person for x amount of time. Can most of the world's population tell me truly though that if they dissect their romantic relationship, they'll find that they're honestly happy with the person they are committed to? I bet at least 90% of people are with someone that they shouldn't be with, and about 75% will never leave.
That's the sad thing about feeling like you're not worth the things you desire, which women are quite guilty of in my opinion. Men are the superior sex? Really? Then why do you fall every time a woman so much as feigns an interest in you? I don't care which sex is physically stronger, if you're mentally inferior then you will not win the war. Strategy always trumps brawn. Brains will always top muscle, and beauty will always tame the beast. It's just the way it is. In the same way that men are hormonally set up to fuck as much as possible to keep the race going, women are also meant to survive. Men are here to keep the women alive so that they can keep the population up.
If you believe males are superior to females, you're fooling yourself. Any woman that looks half way decent can have anything she wants from any man. Women simply believing they are inferior is the problem. My friend said, "look at the past, women are just inferior to men. Women are here to be play things to men. What would women do in a war? Go topless to distract the men?" Uh, yeah. It would work, too. All we'd have to do is make our front line lay down and spread, and the men would forget what they came there for. How can the male sex be superior if they can be thwarted so easily?
Exactly.
Women aren't inferior, we've been told from day one that we are supposed to be inferior. Not only do we come into the world born to emotionally damaged, self-loathing mothers, but we are taught from a young age that we should all look like Heidi Kloom. Every woman, no matter how beautiful, goes through life constantly feeling like they wish they were more like that other woman. I could say that I'd kill to look like Heidi, and Heidi will say that she'd kill to look like Tyra, and Tyra would say that she'd kill to look like Beyonce....and so on.
So, why do women hate themselves?
The only reason women don't rule the world is that we are too busy hating one another to come together. The only reason women want men is to find that attention, to mistake having someone care about us romantically for the value of our own self-worth. That's why women feel like something is wrong with them when they're single. We've learned, or perhaps taught ourselves/one another, along the way that a man's love shows us our worth.
It used to be taboo to be single and 45. Anymore it seems like it's taboo to be single and 24.
You know what? I refuse to fall for it.
The media is not fooling me.
For, truly, how can any self-respecting woman allow herself to get caught up in what a particular guy thinks of them?
I'm wrong you say? You disagree? Great, now tell me why.
relationships,
