why I stopped dating
I recently went on a date & realized, this dating world doesn’t have much to offer. Too many men lie about their expectations, just to get what they want & waste your time. I have come to the realization that I am completely content on my own! I have a great career and a loving family, we don’t even need men to have children these days! I have already don’t extensive research on artificial insemination, for if and when I decide it’s time for me to be a mother. I guess what I’m trying to say here is, fuck men girl, we got this shit on our own! 🩷

The modern dating landscape can often be challenging, filled with miscommunication and unmet expectations. Many women find themselves frustrated with the superficiality of some relationships. In recent years, the rise of independence among women has sparked conversations about self-sufficiency and personal fulfillment. Skillful exploring personal interests, career aspirations, and family dynamics can lead to rich and satisfying lives without relying on traditional relationships. Additionally, alternative methods of motherhood, such as artificial insemination and single parenting, have provided women with exciting new options for building families on their own terms. It is essential to prioritize self-care and emotional well-being while navigating social pressures related to dating and relationships. By sharing these experiences, it encourages others to reflect on their priorities and seek fulfillment outside conventional dating norms. Embracing individual journeys can ultimately lead to a more empowered, content lifestyle.
I genuinely hope you heal from the things you don’t talk about. ❤️ I understand where you’re coming from because dating today can be exhausting, & there are definitely people who aren’t honest about their intentions. But I don’t believe all men are the same. As a single mom of two, I know firsthand that you can raise children on your own, but it’s SUPER hard & isn’t supposed to be this way. It’s emotionally, physically, mentally & financially exhausting. I do it because I have to for them, not because it’s what I would choose for them; I PRAY I HAD A MAN to help me with the kids, they are constantly nagging me about me dating/being happy & them having a dad, because their bio dad is a POS & doesn’t come around & i should have known that when i got with him… Children benefit from having both parents. Moms and dads often bring different strengths to parenting. A good man can provide support, guidance, protection, encouragement, & share the responsibilities that come with raising a family. Parenting was never meant to fall on one person’s shoulders. I don’t have help. I don’t have family or friends stepping in to babysit whenever I need them or help take care of my other child if one of my kids needs me most, I’m literally raising my children every single day on my own, & while I wouldn’t trade them for the world, it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Being a parent isn’t just about bringing a child into the world, it’s about having the emotional, physical, & financial support to raise them well when life gets hard, because life will get hard. Independence is a beautiful thing, but I don’t think it means we were meant to do life alone. For me, the goal isn’t simply having children, it’s building a stable, loving family with the right man by my side. That’s worth waiting for… & I pray everyday that I’m brought the man who needs his rib back…. Yes there are some real crappy boys(men) out there ; but there are also, mature, loving men out there, I’ve met some.
