I’ve had multiple women go out of their way to try and force me to lower my standards. Once they do this I lose so much respect for them and automatically distance myself as a friend. For instance, I had one woman I know try to tell me that I’ll never find a man if I don’t tone down my strong personality or will. I’ve had another woman tell me that I’m entitled for simply wanting men to pay for dates and to be a provider. It’s funny because many men in my life have constantly told me that I should never expect less from a man, but I’ve had several women try to hammer me down and lower my standards. And last but not least, another woman told me that all men cheat and I really only have an option of choosing an ugly man with a nice personality or a handsome man who treats me like shit. I absolutely cannot stand self hating women like this. They can’t stand themselves so they want to drag you down with them and kick some dirt on you for good measure.

My retort has always been: how are my standards too high or wrong If I can meet every single last one of them. If I exist, surely there is a man who is of some value. And every single one of those women who belittled me in that manner have been in the worst scummy relationships of all time. Coincidence? I think not

Some people will really hate you because they’re upset they don’t have the self respect nor the esteem to want or do better for themselves.
