been there done that.. theses words could have been written by me. Yet I still get the guys who want to play ya.. There is a flaw to your argument.. It assumes men know what they are looking for. Where as in reality men are just as confused as women. They think they want a "warrior" and when they get one they get intimidated, cold, unappreciative and mistreat the girl. If they get a "waif" they become abusive,cold and loose all respect. There lies the real problem!
The TL;DR version: A woman who doesn't have enough backbone or self respect to assert herself and work for what she wants will never get farther than a long string of failed relationships with guys who take advantage of her.
You life is exactly what you make it to be, the good and the bad. Everyone has control over every thing in their lives. Understand this and you will be happy.
Great job. One has to respected and loved herself before others respect her. Be confident in her choices and knows what she wants. Knows when to say "no" and means it, and times to say "yes".
Great article. So true. Unfortunately, a lot of things you need to learn from experience, but hopefully now boundaries and self respect won't be one of them for whoever reads this.
I would take this as I am a good woman and have done everything to secure my success (to a point) with the man I love. He's called me his warrior woman!

I completely agree that women should be less passive. But I'm not sure I can agree with your outlook on men whether its true or not.
Yes, even if yo do not succeed in all of your dealings, everyone must have strength and standards. . . .even the waif in some way
lol... your article is a good one but it was missing a key element. I was broadening it. if you don't like that just say so :)
wooooo how do you get your article all pretty like that lol. Ps that is true, a girls should put as much effort as the guy.
Great article, and it was exactly what I needed to hear. Being passive gets you nowhere!
Excellent article! It's too bad so many girls have yet to realize this.
I didn't know there was anything wrong with letting someone open a door for me.
You'd think that, dudeman, but you would be surprised how many people need to be told this
timeandtimeagain: Yes, it is something that applies to both men and women.
HAHA! You said my name on the start of your article! :'D
Now... time to actually read the article.
Brilliant set standards, don't be so desperate you fall for anything
Cool :) It is a good article and I wish more girls would get it !
