Are we settling as women? Are we accepting the crap that most men give us because we think we can't do better, or are we afraid of rejection? There are so many wonderful and beautiful things about being a woman; however, we have got to learn to be more outgoing like the men. How many times has a guy come up to you in attempt to pursue you? And how many times have you turned him down? I'm sure on numerous occasions, but the difference is he doesn't call his friends that night, and have a ice cream and cake pity fest. He probably forgot about you ten minutes later, and moved on to the next pretty lady. Don't take everything so personal. If you see or know a great guy you like or would like to get to know, don't be afraid to spark up a conversation. We all know men are lazy and usually have bad judgment. Its okay to make the first move. If he accepts your invitation and likes your spunk then that's great, kudos to you, but let's not get all emotional if he turns you down. Rejection only means another opportunity to test "the new you" elsewhere. Ladies, we have come to far, and been to successful at being independent to be timid when it comes to finding a man. Don't settle for a mediocre guy or relationship because he's the only one who asked you out. That sounds even more ridiculous and pitiful than you probably feel. Try something new. Go for it, it can't hurt. Remember ladies, think like a man and act like a lady.
