“I’m not impressed”, “be respectful of my time and my efforts”, “no”, “apologize”, and “do better” are all parts of my vocabulary, and I’ve dated a lot of men who have needed to hear those words. I’m strict in my relationships; I don’t put up with much, nor am I interested in hearing excuses, and if a man can’t follow through on what he’s promised me, he can find another woman who’ll listen to him and fall for what he can’t follow through with. I don’t pity the overindulged or feel the need to roll out the red carpet for men who’ve never been put in their place by a woman.
I’m also not easily swayed. It takes a lot to impress me, and 9 times out of 10, men don’t have what it takes to blow my mind. I believe that if men are comfortable holding women to unbelievably high standards, I should be comfortable with setting my own high standards and sticking to them. I’m the sort of girl who’ll sit around and read books and articles (written by women and I verify that) about gentle femdom and then turn around and use the tactics I’ve learned to kindly but firmly shut potential tomfoolery down.
It’s important to understand that if you want the best, you have to set boundaries with yourself and with others, and you HAVE to get comfortable with rejecting people who have not treated you well. I find that my love life is at its best when I’m making connections with people who understand and suit me, not allowing men to come in and out of my life whenever they please. Once a door has shut and a man has lost my good opinion, I allow it to remain closed instead of forcing it open again. High standards, no tolerance for nonsense, and not being scared to come off as strict will get you where you want to be.

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this: get that degree. Teenage me only decided to go to college as an excuse to escape my city and start over. I didn’t fully appreciate the opportunity at the time because I was immature, naive, and convinced I could “make it” in life through other means like starting a business, chasing fame, becoming a content creator. I thought I was somehow special. But that kind of thinking didn’t come from nowhere; it was the result of being influenced by online voices selling the dream of “escaping the rat race” through showing only the highlights while glossing over the risks, instability, and long-term consequences and looking down on those who chose more traditional career paths.
Even if you know deep down that you don’t want to work a 9–5 or stay in the corporate world forever, at the very least, get your degree. Higher education broadens your mind. It exposes you to new ideas, people, and environments you wouldn’t have encountered otherwise. It challenges your thinking, refines your perspective, and makes you more intellectually equipped for life. And if you manage to get practical experience in the field while you’re studying or after graduating, you may even discover that you enjoy the field, or that the skills and credentials can be used later to build a business or pursue something more creative with a solid foundation behind you.
Most importantly, it gives you a cushion, a safety net, in case your alternative paths don’t pan out the way you imagined. Don’t let internet personalities convince you that college is a scam or that there’s no value in higher education. Don’t waste your precious youth chasing illusions when you could be laying down the pillars that will support you for a lifetime. Be strategic. Give yourself options. And don’t mistake noise for wisdom.

A wise man once said “some crushes are better left as crushes. Sometimes, you only like someone because you don’t know enough about them to dislike them” and that’s facts.

date sweet men. men who can articulate themselves. men who are soft spoken. men who are patient with you. men who respect their own bodies. men who are kind to your soul. men that are gentle. men who have self control.
