[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I do. Men on this board and the sort of men who string women along certainly don’t seem to. High expectations, high standards, and [b]no compromises[/b] are the ways women avoid being strung along.

What do you do when you like a man with high expectations, high standards, and no compromises? If you cannot compromise, you cannot get along.

Your extreme arrogance is indicative of low self-esteem.

You will reply with something like, "I am not arrogant, I just uphold my standards," or "I will not compromise for anyone." However, you treat any man who will compromise to be with you poorly because your low self-esteem makes you view him as inferior (i.e., you know he is flawed because he would compromise to be with you.)

You get strung along because you want men with equally low self-esteem and view them favorably when they treat you poorly because, deep down, you believe this is how you should be treated.

I don’t get strung along— I’m happily married to the kind, successful man I met more than a decade ago. But when we were dating if he’d been wishy-washy on our future, expected me to tolerate man-child behavior, or act as though I was unaware of my own value as a partner, he would have been this guy I saw in grad school for a couple of dates. My advice to all women is to know what they want, know what they deserve, and not compromise on it.[/quote]
