They Don't Know How to Keep a Man

Dear WISY,


I just wanted to talk about women and why they are so bad at finding and keeping a good man.  First of all, women nowadays are more concerned with image. They want who looks good and not who can provide stability. Second, they are incapable of committing to one man. They want to try all the sausage because sausage is everywhere, but not all sausage is good for your health!

Also, women don't want to struggle with their men. They want things too easy. If you can't handle some hardship you don't deserve luxury! Me, I'm a woman of strength because my man and I have been through it all. That's why I can live comfortably now. You have to put in the work to get results and keep results. That's for the women who like to comment on Facebook like they are experts, but don't have a man!  LOL!

Signed,

Comfortable Wife

Dear Comfortable Wife,


I agree with some of the things you mentioned, however, it's wise to not generalize and cast judgment.  I think your letter would've been received better if you didn't include the dig at the end.  I'll let the Facebook users take it from here. 😎  Join the conversation.

Walk good,

  1. First off that was a very generalized statement lol. Secondly it seems like all you were looking for was a man who could provide for you so that’s a contradiction the only thing you’re saying is that you went through hell and back for him which isn’t always necessarily a good thing. Women now a days know their worth and leave when the situation isn’t healthy. There are some who do just look for “who” to date instead of the qualities they have but that’s rare. Just bc you stuck through everything he’s put you through doesn’t make you a woman of strength ESPECIALLY depending on what he’s put you through. Sometimes it makes you a woman who just settled.

  2. I agree with Anonymous above. First I'd like to know what they mean by "sticking things out" or "struggling" in a relationship before I can agree or disagree with that point. I have questions LOL. Besides that, the OP's letter was nothing but over-generalizations and ego-stroking for being married, as if that's evidence of her value compared to other women. The way we interact with each other as people, dating and otherwise, has been shifting far away from how things used to be. It's a shift that's been in effect for probably almost 2 decades now at least, I would say. Women are feeling more empowered and are exercising different ways of being coupled and uncoupled. People are choosing to stay single longer. People are opting out of traditional marriage and even opting out of having kids. These changes aren't necessarily good or bad though, and those who still subscribe to the marriage/family track don't deserve to be exhalted above anyone else for it either. We're really living in a time where an "anything goes" or a "do you boo" philosophy is more widely recognized than ever, so although the OP can reserve the right to be pleased with her situation it's misguided of her to then use that as a token to s**t on women who are out there still figuring it out.
