PRAISE THE LORD!!!
This is a conversation worth having because so many females fail to realize that they are the prize. So what that it seems like there's more females than there are men, that doesn't mean that we have to be in competition with our sisters. Settling for a man, just to say that we have somebody.

Take it from me, I'd rather be single and satisfied, than in a relationship and miserable. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going to down play men, because all of them are not dogs. Plus some of the ones that are didn't start out that way. There was a no-good female that took advantage of what she had in a man and turned him out. She made him no good for anybody else, but that's another post...Getting back to my sisters, you must realize that the guy should be trying to please you. Ladies we are precious jewels. Not everyone knows the value of that. If a guy doesn't know the value of you than there's something wrong. Don't let any man set your value by monetary or material things, that is not what gives you your value. We are Royalty, because a woman plays a valuable role in everything that she does. We cannot be the Queens that the Lord has made us to be, if we are always being someone else. Don't change who you are just to please someone, change is suppose to be for self-improvement. Ladies we are born with a standard and sometimes we compromise that because of what ever reasons, but today we must say, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!" "WE ARE SOMEBODY & WE SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH WHO WE ARE!!!"
We were having a womens meeting at my church and the first lady gave a demonstration about what happens when saved and unsaved people try to hang out. Well, I think that it will also work in this situation. There was two people, one was on a chair (this person is going to be the woman) the other person was on the floor (this is going to be the man). She had them grab hands and without holding on to anything, Lady Michelle had them pull. The "woman" will be trying to pull the man up to her standards, while the "man" would be trying to pull the woman down to his level. Well the person on the floor accomplished what they were trying to do. She did the demonstration twice and both times the person on the floor pulled the person out of the chair. So, with all of that said, let me bring it home for ya...If you're not equally matched with someone, than instead of you bringing them up to your standards, they will always find a way to bring you down!!!
