Why Women Shouldn’t Settle!
What’s up Global Grinders!! Even though I’ve been pretty busy with the release of my single “Juke It”, I’ve been using my down time to think about a few important things, like why I won’t settle for just “any” man.
I’ve had people tell me that I’m too picky or my standards are too high, but what it all really boils down to in the end is that they are MY STANDARDS. I made a list of realistic things that are important to me like sense of humor, fitness, etc. I don’t want a man trying to live off of me because he’s lazy, or one that’s extra jealous and talks down to me because HIS self esteem is jacked up! Every time I’ve lowered my standards I’ve kicked myself afterwards because I’ve had to deal with the heartache, wasted time, and sometimes anger over a situation I could have avoided.
I’ve come to the conclusion that GOD has put someone here for me and right now, we aren’t ready for each other. Instead of looking for a good man I’ve decided to spend my time making sure I am secure and actually able to be a good woman. Right now he is out there growing into the man GOD wants him to be for me.

This really hit home when I ran into a guy I dated a looong time ago – he was a strait DOG back then and I went through hell with the cheating, lying, yall know what I’m talking about. Well he’s happily married now, AND a faithful husband. You see ladies; my point is that he wasn’t ready and still needed work back then. If I wouldn’t have settled I could have avoided all the b.s. So going forward I’m focusing on things I want to accomplish, places I want to see, and goals I want to achieve. I’m focusing on me and my happiness and I’m not settling.
