#24 ladies only - men aren't thaaat bad



it's true, you got hurt - i got hurt - we built up walls but do we really blame it on men? yes we do mostly, and no it's not correct nor is it in any way right. it's not only about what we receive or are willing to receive - it's more about what we are willing to receive. and that's too much most of the time cuz it's so easy to blame, right? but what if we just take a closer look at ourselves? what if we realize it's also up to us to shut doors and abondon heartbreakers?

just think about door-to-door seller, they try to sell you their goods the best way they can because they want your money. but it's you who decides what to buy and what not. ok i was lame at that cuz i used to buy every shit - literally - i bought a key tag for 80 chf just because i couldn't say no. hilarious right? buying a 80 chf key tag you really don't need? but i did and so did you - you didn't buy the key tag but you bought all these lies, hurt and resentment. not because you are stupid - ok some of you are - but you bought it in first place cuz you just couldn't say no. and that's ok cuz nobody's born perfect, right?! nobody's born with the attitude and experience of an alpha wolf female, so it's natural that we all go through try & fail situations in our lives. 

stupid are only the ones who go through fail after fail and still buy that crappy unnecessary key tag for 80 chf - stupidity won't last forever though but hey come one, you got better things to do with your life than continuing buying that crap. so what can you do to stop doing so? simply learn to say no. i know it's hard to say no cuz you fear to maybe overreact or blow a "chance" - but infact it's a win win situation - first of all it improves your confidence because that way you show gut and stand your ground - hey it really feels good!! trust me you'll feel so strong and more confident - second it safes you a lot of time. i see women from 20 - 30 in their most blooming years (biologically) so why waste that precious years on someone who isn't worth it? it's your own fault if you let the same guys run over you again and again cuz you hope the new guy won't be as disappointing as the others.

it always takes a good mixture of confidence, sanity, and understanding to say no - there's a difference between setting boundaries and simply releasing your inner "bitch-kraken" - just saying no to everything that doesn't match your expectation and cutting off guys isn't what makes you a happier girl. love requires compromising and compromising requires maturity, maturity to seperate "that's just what i want right now and i don't give a fuck if you understand it or not" and "hey let's talk about it, it makes me unhappy for so and so reasons, how do you see it. it makes me feel so and so, are you aware of that? if yes, are you able to compromise for me/for us? if not it makes it hard for me to get along with you and we need a common ground"

common ground is the key word - everyone has different ways to see things - that's good and necessary - but there needs to be common ground to start off together. if you and your boyfriend don't have common understanding and furthermore respect for eachother about how you interact with eachother, how you interact with other girls/guys outside your relationship, how you trust eachother and where you both want to stand in 5 or 10 years - then there's no future path for you both to walk on. see? that's why you need to learn to say no -> learn to speak up about what you are all about.

#4 ladies only - avoid walking home alone when it's late

pic by theresplendentlife.wordpress.com


well let's face it, us women are physically in disadvantage and if we heat up an argument too much it's very much possible that this will not end very well. usually i'm not afraid at all to walk home alone, when someone approached me i could easily wave a friendly "no sorry, gotta go now!" and yes, usually that's it and it won't cause any trouble. not this time. i walked home after bringing my bff to her place, was around 3am, would take me about 20 minutes usually, when two men crossed my way and yes, of course they tried to hook me up in a conversation. such a perfect prey they might have though, petite, younger and most of all alone - usually in such situations i pull out my phone and pretend that I'm txting or calling someone.they were whisteling and throwing some "super hot hook up lines" as "hey beautilful, where ya goin?" - so i threw back a rather cold "yeh yeh whatever - none of your business" while walking my way.

they came after me, trying to talk to me and i told them multiple times that i don't want to talk to them. i was scared to be honest because they didn't leave! so i kept walking but those f*cked up weirdos still walked beside me when suddenly one of them pulled my arm - i can tell you i was so so so so scared - telling me i should stop for a second "we just wanna talk to you for a min don't be so arrogant", so i pulled back and shout that he shouldn't touch me. seriously there was nobody on the street and i felt so alone and so scared. however one of the guys had to throw up on the sidewalk (there you go you f*cking bastard) and the second one was so irritated that i grabed the chance and ran away - thank god i wasn't far from home and i guess i never opened the door that quick since i live there. jesus... it started quickly and ended quickly but it made me reconsider what i could do to feel safer.

to be honest it could have gone bad and i think i was rather lucky this time - so my advice is:

  • avoid getting into such situations! take a cab/last bus/etc instead of walking home alone, especially when it takes you more than 15/20 minutes and you walk through less crowded places!
  • if you get in such situations, don't give them any oppertunity to feel offended - they're like little drama queens they will feel like their ego has been destroyed - best would be to just walk on without saying anything!!!!
  • pull out your cell phone while walking, either call someone who will stay on the phone with you until you are home or pretend to be on the phone if you pass some dubious people
  • avoid walking through empty streets, if you walk, chose streets where a lot of cars drive by
  • don't give in and don't let them follow you to your place, especially when you live alone - don't do that!
  • consider to buy some sort of pepperspray
  • txt your bff when you made it home, that way she'll know everything's fine
  • don't give any response - sure that could also cause a situation - but that way you give them less "surface" to go back on
however, it's a nice feeling when you have someone who loves you + you feel safer automatically - but if there's no man in your life who actually is there for you, then you do feel somehow more insecure in such situations. can't really explain it though but every woman wishes for a man to have her back. it might be in our nature to want a protective man on our side where we feel secure and are allowed to show "female weakness" - well of course he can't be around us 24/7 but you get my point. i wished I had that...
