Last week I wrote of love being all around us and being open to the possibilities of giving it more frequently than just one day a year, because at the end of the day, everyone has the same angle, we are all trying to find our better half. So for the single folks out there, before rushing to make just anybody yours, you should be absolutely sure that they are worthy to be considered a somebody, and not just another nobody. But in a city like NYC where time, much like the people, never stops moving… how do you weed out the true from the faux?
In 2009, a study was done which revealed that for every single guy in NYC, there are 100,000 single women (including kouger activity and such). Another report the same year calculated the single male to single female ratio to 210,000. Who knows which is the most accurate but rest assured, it’s in the 6 figures, which means men have their pick of the pool. So what’s a girl to do in a sea where there are plenty of fish? Only one choice, set yourself apart. Put a value on your time, and label it as a precious commodity that should be earned. If you’re conservative with it, and let him earn it, it’s the only way you can be sure he values you.
The test of time always tells you the true holds, while the faux folds. Men have and will always play the age old game of Predator and Prey. They want to feel like they won the grand prize, because what fun is it for a predator to be handed his prey when the chase is the best part? Truth is even when they win the chase, they still want to feel like…

Lol...this is a great post. I love that you referenced Winnie the Pooh, a children's story, because it goes to show basic this need is for love and how important it is to have the "sure thing." Just the other day I was talking about how unfair it is for us ladies to have such slim pickins in this city! But if you think about it, we women of substance view it that way because we know we are a cut above. A man will never appreciate what he doesn't have to work for...whether it's cars, a promotion or a woman. That's not to say we should make them suffer unnecessarily (although I will admit...it IS fun to watch them squirm, particularly the ones who think they're hot $#!*), but we should never give ourselves completely to someone who isn't sure about us.
