Our Generation

After having a long random conversation with my mom, my 2 great aunts, and myself, we covered alot of topics but basically everything was surrounding the topic of... our generation. My generation, and even my mother's, but moreso mine. My generation is ultimately all about letting it all hang out. There are no more secrets, there is no more privacy. Alot of men are becoming openly bisexual and, don't get me wrong I have NO problem whatsoever with homosexuality because I have tons of gay males as friends -love them btw :)- but what hope do any of us successful, independent, single-straight male seeking women have left when our only options are either cheating good-looking men, successful fine bisexual men, good-looking drug dealers and ofcourse broke regular adoring men. Now there is nothing wrong with a man that's broke who has potential, and adores the ground you walk on...who truly loves you; then you've found a diamond in the rough, the only hard part about that is sticking it out, and riding it out with your man. But with time, you never know... he could be the fine, successful man you made better and stuck through it because love was enough. These are the fairy tales we all like to believe and try to make reality, but we are LIVING in reality... and the reality is women have become adjusted to settling. We are settling for the successful, wealthy man that we've made okay for him to cheat because he's draping me in diamonds and a lavish lifestyle, so what do I have to complain about. It's okay to settle for the man that is dealing on the side, stealing, breaking every law humanly possible, because I'm not a basketball wife but he makes me feel like one, he treats me like one...btw, these men are also almost ALWAYS cheating on you as well. We're settling for any man PERIOD because the pickings are short. Most of them have gone to play completely for the other team, so what choice do we have? I've even seen some women settle for the bisexual man that is fine as wine, but the woman feels hey, I'm old, ugly and I don't have it any better than this. Women have become tired and are simply settling for the simple fact to fit into society's opinion that if you are over 30 and are still without a man, something has GOT to be wrong with you...not the man. My generation has basically lost its values...its value period. There is no more full package... we've gotta take it as they come. But shouldn't we want more...we as women...shouldn't we WANT more from him? And if he can't give it to us, then shouldn't we just let him go...or are we worth it?
