I am going to keep this short and sweet. This fell on my heart and I had to share. You can either ignore it or take it in and hopefully pass it on. The choice is yours. This rant is dedicated to my ladies. Women complain a lot about men and their behavior but these same women will continue to deal with said man for years and years with no end to his bad behavior in sight. Some people mistake tolerance for loyalty, but it is not the same thing.

Ladies, don’t be a bottom feeder. Don’t love out of desperation and fear of loneliness. Don’t be accepting of men who are on the bottom of the barrel when it comes to how they will treat the woman they are involved with. When you set a precedent for accepting b.s. then that is what will come your way. If you welcome trash into your life, then you will live a life of filth. You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. If he sees you swallowing disrespect, he will keep serving it.

Ladies, you should never feel like you have to accept someone giving you nothingness. By nothing I mean lack luster love, non-affection, cheating, abuse, or anything else that can be destructive in a relationship. Never place energy into the lie that if you don’t accept it then another woman will. Perhaps another woman will accept it but wouldn’t you rather it be her than you? I know I would. The fear of being replaced is not a reason to accept mistreatment.

Stop being a bottom feeder. Meaning, stop falling into the mental trap that you have to accept any and everything from a man in fear that if you don’t he will leave. Stop accepting the worst from a man. This a horrible way to maintain a relationship. Never accept the notion that you must accept and love scum or risk being alone. Don’t search through trash, accept trash and expect a clean and healthy outcome. Real love does not require you to shrink yourself or surrender your dignity.
