The process of selling yourself short
I came to a decision last night that I am not going to underdate anymore and as a matter of fact, I am going to super date – in other words if they aren’t fabulous then talk to my hand – the one that is pointing towards the door. This came about as M was admonishing G that she had to decide between brains and braun when choosing a man and I countered sharply – WHY? – I have both – looks and brains, so why shouldn’t the man I choose have both as well? He said it doesn’t work that way.
In his world, I say.
Too many women I know, who are my age, keep telling me the same thing – “I don’t know what I want, or if I even want anyone, but I know that I could be very happy on my own.” Underdating is for pussies – enough said.

ahh ! love your article.
So true, men have it too good these days and why on earth should a woman have to chose between brains or looks. Of course we should and will have both.
Risk with superdating as you call it is that no guys will come aroudn – appart from one occasionally so you will have to cope with being on your own for periods, but then again, it’s worth it and we’re strong enough!

I think people sell being on your own short – it’s fabulous to be in love and with someone you want to be with but it’s much better to be alone than with someone you don’t want to be with or who doesn’t want to be with you.
