The Double Standard!!

Dating in your 30's is completely different than dating in your 20's. In your 20's as a woman you wait to be approached and your more than ready to be faithful and as soon as you find the so called man of your dreams you are ready to get married. In your 20's everything has a deadline of when certain accomplishments are made and you are more willing to compromise. In your 30's there's a new awakening you may have spent the last 5-10 years in a relationship that didn't work and after having children, graduating from college and maintaining a household you have a clearer outlook on life. In your 30's if  your dating you decide that things will be a lot less stressful if you weigh your options. So you date more than one man at a time and when one gets on your nerves you call up another one or when they're both being annoying you bask in the fact that you don't have to answer to either one. I have decided that I will live my life on my own terms and I do not plan on acting like a man but I definitely will not settle on whoever approaches me just because they are interested. I learned a long time ago that a person only gives you what you accept and as long as you accept the bare minimum you will continue to receive JUST THAT. So in my 30's I am more than happy with being alone or dating on my own terms and no one else's ....LOL
