"Men were sending love letters in the middle of wars and you're settling for boys who won't text back, don't have time for your, and think reassuring you is too much work. The bar is hell."
I saw a post similar to this on instagram. And I wholeheartedly agree. Some of us, settle for the bare minimum in relationships. The question is why? Is it low self esteem? A lot of people will blame it on low self esteem, but I think it is so much bigger than low self esteem. I think it's combination of low self esteem, "lack mentality", and societal pressure. I think this topic requires a longer blog post. 🤔
I think women settle for less than they deserve due to a lot of reasons. Societal pressure is definitely one of the reasons. Social media is a big contributor to the pressure. Every other post in my feed is showing "relationship goals". I think it makes women feel incomplete/less valuable if they're not in a relationship. That leads to a lot of us accepting crappy relationships. And as a result of the crappy relationship it leads to women being broken. There are a lot of broken women and the cycle repeats.
