STOP Recycling Men: Here's Why You Deserve Better!

Have you ever found yourself in a relationship with a man who keeps revisiting his past, unable to detach from his old ways? Do you often feel like your person is not truly committed to growing and evolving themselves? If so, then you might be recycling men! Recycling is when you take an old, outdated thing, and make a new use of it. You don't deserve an outdated man who is stuck in ways. You deserve someone who is continuously evolving and reinventing himself—a man who is letting go of his past, his soul ties, and his youthful mindset. Let's talk about why you deserve better and how to avoid the pitfalls of recycling men who are stuck in their old ways.

You deserve a man who is ready and willing to create a completely new version of himself. Someone who is committed to shedding his old ways, letting go of old ties, and breaking free from younger mentalities. You deserve someone who is growing. Recycled men often come with baggage that prevents them from truly evolving. Baggage that they haven't dealt with, or that they don't know how to deal with. It is not your place to help him carry that load. He should have dropped it off, or lightened it long before he jumped back into the dating pool. If you're with someone who's stuck in his ways, or weighing you down it's only a matter of time before you find yourself in a toxic cycle. You deserve someone who is committed to growing and renewing themselves.

Recycling men will only result in regret and disappointment. It's understandable to want to give someone a chance, but if he has not been making a clear effort to better himself, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Don't waste your time preparing that man for another woman. You deserve someone who values and appreciates all that you bring to the table. Someone who is in the right mindset to recognize it, and someone who is willing to put in the effort to create a happy and fulfilling relationship.

Recycling men can hurt your self-esteem and confidence. If you're constantly with someone who fails to meet your expectations, it can be damaging to your self-esteem. You begin to question your worth and value, which can lead to an unhealthy cycle of co-dependency. It's important to remember that you deserve someone who loves and respects you for who you are. Don't settle for someone who only sees you as a placeholder until someone else comes along.

Choosing to recycle men can be a sign of fear and insecurity. Sometimes, it's easier to stay in a familiar situation, even if it's not fulfilling or healthy. Fear of being alone or fear of not finding anyone else can cloud our judgment and lead us to settle. But settling will only lead to frustration and disappointment.

Don't be afraid to hold out for someone who is worth your time and energy. You deserve someone who is willing to put in the effort. Someone who values and appreciates all that you bring to the table. Someone who is evolving. Don't sell yourself short. You deserve the best.

Recycling men is a cycle that is best avoided. It only leads to regret, disappointment, and hurt. You deserve someone who is committed to growing themselves. Someone who values and respects you for who you are. Don't settle for less than you deserve. Hold out for someone who is worth your time and energy. Remember, you deserve the best!

Ex ...(P2.1) The beginning

I think ...for you to truly understand, I have to go back to the beginning. I love, being in love, and back in my 20s it was I could dream about. I wanted a husband and a friend. I wanted a soul mate and a lover. I wanted a family. I wanted to grow old with my husband. I dreamed that one day we would be elderly sitting on our porch in rocking chairs fussing at our grandchildren together. My husband and I. Summer Fling 2002 - I was sitting in the kitchen listening to music when my mother called. She was at work and needed tampons. I grabbed the tampons and my purse and headed out the door. It was a warm summer night. I walked to the corner and checked for the bus. Nothing. I'd have to walk the four blocks to her job. It was Friday and the whole neighborhood seemed to be outside. Teenagers roamed the streets in groups talking loudly. Cars cruised down the block with various genres of music fading away as they passed. A small crowd lingered outside the Chinese store. I walked q...

Managing Money: Use Different Accounts for Different Purposes

Money management is key to building and maintaining wealth. And as women, it's important that we pay close attention to our finances and invest them wisely. One of the best financial tips that I've learned in my personal journey is to use different accounts for different purposes. By using this simple yet effective method, you can easily manage your money and reach your financial goals faster. How to set up different accounts: The first step is to determine which areas of your life require financial planning. This may include a retirement account, an emergency fund, a vacation fund, and so on. Then, open a separate account for each of these goals. Most banks offer free savings accounts, so take advantage of them. Once you have set up each account, determine the percentage of your income that should be allotted to each account. The benefits of using different accounts: By using different accounts, you can easily track your spending and savings. Each account is designed for a spe...

Dating After 40: Why You Deserve a Man Who's Done the Work

I'm 44, and while I'm no expert, I believe women in their 40's should have a different outlook on dating than those in their younger years. As we age, our priorities change. We reach a point where we no longer have time for "projects." And that includes men who don't have their shit together. At this age a man should be stable, both financially and emotionally. We've invested time and energy building ourselves up and we deserve a partner who has done the same. Once you reach a certain age, you can no longer afford to invest your time and energy into someone who isn't on the same page as you. You've spent years working on yourself and improving your life. You've invested time and money into your education, career, and personal growth. You've learned the importance of taking care of your physical and mental health. So why should you settle for a man who hasn't done the same? A man who has done the work is someone who is emotionally matu...

Invest in Men Who Invest in Themselves

A lot of women fall into the trap of settling for men who are not growing emotionally or mentally. So, today let's explore the importance of investing in a partner who invests in themselves. We will look at the five warning signs that a man is not growing. Unwilling to be accountable - A man who is not willing to take responsibility for his actions or mistakes is not growing. He may blame others for his problems, make excuses, or refuse to admit when he's wrong. This lack of accountability can cause major problems in a relationship, leading to mistrust, resentment, and emotional distance. Unaware of his faults - A man who doesn't recognize his faults and limitations is not growing. He may have a fixed mindset, believing that he is who he is and can't change. (You know, those, "I'm set in my ways" guys). This can be frustrating for a partner who wants to grow and evolve together. Dependent on you for every little thing - A man who is dependent on you ...

Stop Dating Needy Men. You're not the Goodwill

Ladies, it's time to stop dating needy men. You know the ones I'm talking about, the guys who seem to only take from the relationship and never give back. The ones who drain your energy, demand your attention and always need you to do something for them. If you're tired of being the Goodwill of your relationships and donating your vagina to men who don't deserve it, then this post is for you. First, let me clarify what I mean by “needy men.” These are men who are incapable of doing anything for themselves and believe that the world owes them something. They are the ones who always need you to babysit them emotionally or financially. When you’re dating a needy man, you are the one doing all the heavy lifting in the relationship. You're paying for the majority of expenses, driving them around, and picking up their messes. Let me emphasize the importance of reciprocity in relationships. Relationships should be about give and take. When you're doing everything for ...

A Weak Man Hates Anything that Challenges Him to Be Better

Let's talk about weak men. We've all come across them. The ones who blame others for their shortcomings. The ones that struggle with accountability and reject anything that challenges them to be better. In essence - the narcissistic and self-centered ones. It is not easy to deal with these men, especially when you find yourself romantically involved with them. Weak men often have fragile egos, and anything that threatens their little fragile sense of self is perceived as a threat. We have to understand that these men are not secure within themselves, and they rely on external validation to feel good about themselves. Therefore, when you try to challenge them to be better, they feel like you are attacking them, and they become defensive. They cannot handle criticism, and they struggle with personal growth. One of the reasons why weak men struggle with personal growth is that they are afraid of change. They are comfortable in their current ways, and they are not willing to step o...
