So Many Men, not even one for me…
May 24th, 2008 by Maribel AlbinoSo many men;so little time.This should be the adage but hey, a friend told me the other day her version for it.Its “so many men;not even one for me”.Is she trying to tell me that she is wary that she is reaching her 30’s without Mr.Right on sight.She is beautiful, intelligent, charming with a stable job.What could be going wrong for her? Why is Mr. Right seems not noticing her all this time. Better yet, why is some nice guy not taking the guts to ask her for a date,or just a simple get-to-know with a nice coffee on hand. Perhaps, she seems to be all perfect that Mr.Possible Guy feels inferior around her.
I believe that single woman should just enjoy every single day they have. I used to think that I should be the not-know-it-all girl just to encourage single men to approach me but hey I didn’t feel right. Why should be the dumb girl am not. So I just let the true me shows. I am intelligent, speaks her mind and optimistic girl. Eventually, some guys showed their interest to me and I finally picked the right man for me. The same thing with my single friend.I suggested that they just be themselves. Its guys lost not theirs that they didn;t notice that she is a perfect mate (possible). Afterall, if you don’t have a prince;it doesn’t mean you are not a princess. Am sure, one day my friend will meet his knight and shining armour…

Your post really struck me deep and reminded me of something that I read from a womans author regarding intelligence and playing inferior. I hope it encourages people who read it like it did me:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won’t feel insecure around you.
We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone,
and as we let our own light shine, we conciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
