It's widely known that there are numerous exceptional single women globally who possess intelligence, humor, and overall remarkable qualities. However, the question remains, where are the great men? Although some argue that dating is a mere numbers game and that there are more exceptional single women than eligible men, this claim is baseless. The actual reason why many of us are still single is quite straightforward: most men are not worth dating.

1. Women Are Becoming More Educated, Accomplished And Independent While Guys Are Getting Crappier

As single women, we bring a lot to the table both in terms of what we can offer a potential partner and what we can contribute to the world. We are strong, ambitious, and fully capable of taking care of ourselves. On the other hand, it appears that some men have abandoned the notions of chivalry and romance, and instead, believe that doing the bare minimum is enough. Frankly, we're not interested in that kind of laziness, and we would prefer that they take it somewhere else.

2. We Won't Put Up With BS

Although we could enter into a relationship by turning a blind eye to the immature behavior of dishonest and manipulative individuals, what would be the point? We've witnessed this type of behavior countless times and heard every excuse in the book. We hold ourselves in high regard and refuse to tolerate it for the sake of being in a relationship. Instead, we would rather be single and content with our own company.

3. Our Standards Are High And They'll Stay That Way

Given that we understand our own value, we refuse to settle for anything less than what we deserve from men. They must match us in every sense of the word, and if they are unwilling to do so, then we are not interested in dating them.

4. Guys Think Their Options Are Endless, But We Won't Settle For Second Best

One of the issues with contemporary dating is that men assume that all they need to do to find someone new is swipe right on their phone. Ghosting and benching have become commonplace, but as soon as we detect any signs of unfavorable behavior, we are out of there before he can even open Tinder.

5. Our Lives Are Already Full — If A Guy Can't Add To It, He's Not Worth Making Room For

As single women, we have busy lives with loving families and personal passions that we pursue. Our schedules are full, which means that if we are making space for a guy, he needs to bring something fresh and valuable to the table. If he is only interested in a physical relationship or is uncertain about his future plans and wants to "hang out," he should look elsewhere.

6. Many Of Us Just Aren't Looking For Husbands Anymore

While some of us are open to the idea of eventually getting married, we don't spend our days wondering if today will be the day that our "Prince Charming" arrives to sweep us off our feet. Walking down the aisle is not a requirement for us to feel like we've accomplished all that womanhood has to offer. We recognize that it's not the 1950s anymore, and we are just as committed to our own happiness and success as we could ever be to a romantic partner.

7. We're Becoming Our Own Husbands

Thanks to feminism and the progress we've made in the workforce, women are now able to provide ourselves with all the advantages that husbands used to offer. We no longer need a man to pamper us or buy us a house because we have already secured those things for ourselves. Additionally, we don't require a husband to have children; if we desire to become mothers, there are alternative ways to achieve that goal without marrying someone who we may end up divorcing after just a few years.

8. Too Many Guys Are Intimidated By Strong Women

We refuse to minimize our intelligence or downplay our goals and achievements when we've dedicated ourselves to reaching our potential. Unfortunately, many men struggle to be with a woman who refuses to be submissive and quiet. We have high standards for every aspect of our lives and we won't tolerate men who either feel threatened by our success or attempt to undermine us to boost their own egos.

So, what can a woman do in this situation? Honestly, not much other than to continue being true to yourself until someone of worth comes along and makes you want to pursue a serious, long-term relationship or marriage.
