Strong Women vs Average Men

She is ambitious. She is successful. She is independent. She is also single. She complains that there are no good men. She is wrong. There are plenty of good men. She just does not want them. She wants a man who is stronger than her. She wants a man who is more successful than her. She wants a man who challenges her. She wants a man who is above average. She is above average. The average man is below her. The above average man has options. He chooses someone else.In this episode, I examine the dating dynamics between strong women and average men. The strong woman wants a partner who matches her intensity. The average man wants a partner who appreciates his effort. The strong woman sees the average man as lazy. The average man sees the strong woman as exhausting. Neither is wrong. Neither is right. They are just mismatched.The solution is not for women to lower their standards. The solution is not for men to raise their game. The solution is for both to be honest about what they want and realistic about what they can get. The strong woman who complains about the lack of good men is often rejecting good men who are not good enough. The average man who complains about the lack of good women is often ignoring women who are right in front of him.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because strong women and average men are not enemies. They are just looking for different things.
