Standing Ovation Zella

Zella, I always love to read your comments, but this was magnifique!

Loved the salon comments.

If I were you, I'd toss those cheap sandals in the garbage. Purchased for $1.00 max at the Marakesh souq no less, if he even bothered to purchase them.

Our country has some of the most diverse men in the world. Men who are educated, have class (pass on pink shoes) well mannered, and treat women as equals most of the time. We have no shortage of men, and even IF we did, why subject yourself to these men who totally lack quality? Being alone is preferable!! A woman alone is far better than a woman tolerating abuse.

Get an education, respect yourself, love yourself and men of quality will come knocking on your door. You attract what you are. If you're needy, with low self esteem, you will attract men who will zoom in and use this. I think a group needs to be started, not on dealing with these men, but on raising self esteem so men like this are ignored, as they should be.

Mention eating at fine restaurants, they will run. Mention loving the Opera, they will run. Mention a diamond ring from Tiffany's they will run. Demand some respect is a turn off for them, too.

I agree with you Zella, let these men marry and treat their own women poorly. And to think, he didn't even bother to inquire what shoe size you were!

Why? Because he didn't care.
