Smart, cute, and can hold your own in a conversation. Men act so impressed-- at first. They tell you how different you are from the other women in the dating pool-- at first. You can feel the instant connection and chemistry... at first.

Then nothing happens. Talk talk talk... Potential on 100... only for it all to die out, and there you are, starting back over, tired and frustrated.

On paper, you're the kind of woman that a man needs on his team. You're not looking for a handout; you're not trying to play games. If anything, you can make a great man even greater. Spoiler Alert: Guys don't want that shit.

Men run towards women who possess all the qualities they claim to want, only to run away in the end because those same qualities scare them. "She could be the one" is a terrifying thought because it exposes the truth of a man's character. Bro says he's ready for something real, but the closer he gets to that Game Changer energy, the more he recognizes that he's not ready to stop doing him.

The rush that comes from chasing new women is in his DNA. The ego stroke of juggling different girls is addictive. You bring grown-woman vibes to the table, and that man pushes you away in favor of casual hookups and shallow relationships with women who he knows are disposable.

No one tells women that even after they heal, after they level up, the same things that make them feel empowered will block them from the very men they want. You check all the boxes, and you still get rejected in favor of the girl in the tacky outfit with the cheap eyelashes. Why?
