If you're amazing you won't be easy, if you're easy you won't be amazing. If he's worth it he will wait. If he doesn't wait... he's not worth it x

'A man is not the prize of a woman's life.'

Sux2buthen · 10/09/2022 16:16

I don't understand what the first one means by 'easy'🤔
Or if I do, then I don't think that's right

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 10/09/2022 16:19

I think by 'easy' the op doesn't mean it in a sexual sense but in the sense of being your own woman and sure of your boundaries.

ShirleyJackson · 10/09/2022 16:20

You have the right to end any relationship, at any time, for any reason.

ohfook · 10/09/2022 16:20

Oh god I don't think that's inspiring at all; I think it's fucking awful.

Although I am both amazing and easy so it's probably not aimed at me!

Terriblethirtytwos · 10/09/2022 16:21

I assumed that the OP was being sarcastic…

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 10/09/2022 16:22

@ohfook It does rather imply that all single women are looking for a man, doesn't it?

Bestcatmum · 10/09/2022 16:25

Here are a couple of quotes from me - I love living alone, to me its a state of absolute heaven. When people ask in whom do you place your trust, I reply myself.

‘It takes a strong woman to remain single in a world that is accustomed to settling with anything just to say they have something.’

‘I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone.’

OrangeFlowersAreLovely · 10/09/2022 16:32

Absolutely not slut shaming AT ALL fuck who you like. Get yours! It's about a life partner, someone you enter into an emotional commitment with and expect certain traits from. And let's be honest, whether you like it or not there are a lot of women on here completely undervaluing themselves because of shit partners. That's not an opinion. It's a factual observation.

I don’t think that quote is very inspirational.

I came across this recently and loved it though!

“Women are not rehabilitation centres for poorly raised men.”

don’t know who said it but it hits the nail on the head for me re my ex’s behaviour!

SteveHarringtonsChestHair · 10/09/2022 16:39

Just googled and it was attributed to Julia Roberts. But I’ll take that with a pinch of salt! And it was badly not poorly - but sentiment remains

That doesn’t address what you mean by the word easy in your OP.

Do you mean the opposite of difficult, or the opposite of chaste?

That's fine if you're not mate. As I say this thread is for the single women who are though 🤙

What does that even mean 'If you're amazing you won't be easy, if you're easy you won't be amazing'? In what context? Either way it's rubbish, sounds like if you're a strong, independent woman with healthy boundaries you'll be hard to deal with? Bollocks.

Wish folk especially other women would stop saying things like this. You CAN be amazing and be a nice person who's not some high maintenance diva.

Whatwouldscullydo · 10/09/2022 17:13

The only quote/motto i try and by is

" if you are going to do something wrong, do it right"

Everything else is just cheesy crap..

Not helpful in relationships, I apologise 🤣

DoIHaveTooo · 10/09/2022 18:46

What did the private message you sent me say OP? I'm guessing it wasn't particularly nice as my account was suspended as a result of you reporting g me. Go on, let's all hear it.

DoIHaveTooo · 10/09/2022 18:47

Awaits further suspension 🙄🤣

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 10/09/2022 18:50

You said struggling. There are more ways to struggle as a single woman than by being unable to find a man.

Mate.

There are two facts in this life. We are born, and we die. The journey from A to B goes quicker than expected for many, so please make the most of your time by spending it doing productive or interesting stuff, and reserving yourself for interesting people.

'A man is not the prize of a woman's life.'

When I read this first I thought it said price, 'A man is not the price of a woman's life', as in a man's not worth destroying yourself for.

‘I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone.’ @Bestcatmum this one's so true for me.
