Is Being Too Picky A Bad Thing?

Are you a wonderfully successful, beautiful and single woman? Do you often think how you could be single?

Well. It could be as simple as your expectations.

Nowadays, women have more self-esteem and respect for themselves than ever before which is wonderful but that doesn’t make us perfect. Guys are much more apt to see past our flaws than we are of their flaws.

Why is that? Why do we always think there is something way better out there? A part of it may be because we are always checking out what our friends have and thinking we should have the same or above experience. The truth of the matter though is that we don’t see everything that goes on behind closed doors. Some couples that appear to be absolutely perfect on the outside fight like cats and dogs when no one is looking. This in turn gives us all a false perception of what we should and shouldn’t accept.

I have a video response here for this question that was submitted to me here:

There is a wonderful book called “Marry Him: The Case For Settling for Mr. Good Enough” – and I know it rubbed a lot of women the wrong way because it’s basically telling women to settle in their early thirties but the author, Lori Gottlieb has a lot of good points in what she’s saying. Women are the most “marriageable” and “fertile” in their early thirties and when women get to age range 45-65 there are only 71 single men for every 100 single women.

In short. There are not enough single men in your age range and a lot of the ones that are, are looking for young women in their thirties.

Why don’t we return the favor and be more accepting?
