Why you can’t find a man

Why you can’t find a man

By Miss Kes 

The single life is no good life. Man was not created to be alone. But the battle to find someone in a society with not many decent fish in the sea is unending for many. For some, after years they manage to snag a decent catch; for others they’ll sit and wonder why not them. What can you do or stop doing to break the single cycle?

KL:

I would say the first thing I see wrong with women these days is that they have no standards. When I scroll through social media on a daily basis, I see why we have no real men. Men are weak to what they see and if we as women do not adhere to the standards our grandparents had, we are basically doomed. Right now being a side chick is a privilege. Some women are extremely proud to wear the title. This is what it is.

Diana:

My advice to the single ladies is to stop being so picky. I am all for knowing what you want and going after it, but some women are looking for Ken – the perfect man. He doesn’t exist, so rethink the ’10 qualities list’ that outlines what your dream guy should have, and look at the good men around you.

Latoya:

Ladies, stop being so desperate. A man loves a good chase. I know you’re single and yes, you need a man, but relax and play the game safely. If you rush it, you crush it. Just be patient and have your standards up as high as your heels.

Tricia:

Dismiss the perfect guy from your minds. He is a myth. Just understand that no man is perfect so decide what you want and try to get it, but if you don’t, try to get close to it and live anyway. I wanted tall, dark, handsome, intelligent and rich. My husband is fat, a bit on the short side, but loves me world without end. Love is much more important than a list of what your man should and shouldn’t be.

TH:

Carry yourself well. I know a friend who has been single for a decade and she whines and cries about it all the time. I told her straight up that she needed a makeover and although she felt offended, we got her one and now she has a date this weekend coming. Ladies, remember that men are moved first by what they see, so ensure the package is pretty.
