You Don't Need A Ride or Die You Need a Therapist

"You're going to leave me just like everyone else in my life, huh?" Yes. Yes, I am, I replied as I dug into my purse for my keys. There was once upon a time when I would see someone broken and felt that is was my responsibility to fix them with my love. You know, that "stay down and build him up", one-sided mess a lot of us have been conditioned to believe. Then through experience, I came to realize that women are not rehabilitation centers for men and their change isn't contingent on our love. So to be frank, being a "Ride or Die" is a scam.

Why Fewer Women Are Getting Married: A Shortage of Economically Attractive Men

A study done through Cornell University suggests that one of the reasons why marriage is on the decline and at it's lowest in 150 years, is that there are not enough economically attractive men. The study describes economically attractive as someone who is educated and/or making a salary of 40k or more annually. When CNN reported the study, it was less than favorable among quite a few male viewers. One viewer tweeted "My own version: "US marriage rates are down at a 150 year low because of an overabundance of painted eyebrows, fake tits, and women that are more interested in a perfect selfie than finding a real companion." Fixed it!" Then he goes on to tweet the same women he described "Hey beautiful" whilst hoping for a response. As you can see, some may find the study jarring. However, does it hold a valuable point? I say absolutely.

“That’s Just How I Am”: Okay Then Work On It

A hard pill to swallow for those who attach their flaws to their Identity is that not everyone is going to accept “That’s just how I am”. It may work for some people which is why that’s their automatic response when their behavior is addressed, but I guarantee that it will not work for all. The truth about “That’s just how I am” is that it is the golden response from someone who lacks accountability. Instead of taking action towards the issue they are fully aware of, they accepted that is their issue and you must accept it too. “Love it or leave it” they may say.
