Women can be such suckers, no matter how smart we are. We never stop believing in fairy tales.

Still hanging around, waiting for the White Knight to swoop in and save us, but he was never the White Knight, he was just charming. We're being naive and gullible, and now we look silly, standing around, waiting for help that will never arrive.

And waiting.

Perhaps we just need to wait some more.

Maybe he didn't notice that we're waiting, yet.

But, once he does, he will surely rush to our aide.

We just have to signal more clearly, so that he can't miss it.

We just have to be patient...

He told me he was easily forgotten

Just another man

I told him I understood

How wrong he was

As I’ve told many to forget me

Over the years

He was right

Every one we meet

Falls in love with us

Immediately

For no logical reason

We each have

Cursed charismatics

He was right

- to go left

Men and women fail to grow up in very different ways, but ways that seem absurd to the other gender. It's an interesting dynamic.

We don't want to leave our innocence behind, completely. We don't want to face the harshness of the world.

Laeserin 1y ago

My bros can get sort of exasperated. "We told you he was like that, girl, but you don't listen, cuz oh he seemed like such a good guy." 🙄

But he did seem like such a good guy. Please tell me he's a good guy. I don't want to believe anything else. Let me redo all of reality so that he stays the hero of the story.

Them sunk costs done be sunk.

So much less complicated as a man. Just shirk those responsibilities and play games with kids or play with toys, depending on availability of kids.

Laeserin 1y ago

I guess you disassociate and we double-down.

Laeserin 1y ago

I actually think intelligent women are worse about this because we are better at holding on to fake realities, to alleviate our cognitive dissonance. We've evolved to invent fake realities at higher and higher levels of complexity.

Perhaps because our innate vulnerability has tended to leave us trapped in bad situations, so we've evolved to go full Stockholm Syndrome to cope.

Dumb women be like,

"Hey, you did something bad.

You are a bad man!"

Smart women be like,

"Hey, you did something bad.

But I know you aren't a bad person, deep down.

There must be some mistake.

You had a difficult childhood.

Or I provoked you.

It was an accident.

You were just stressed out.

Actually, there's probably a very good reason for this and it's actually much more complicated than I can even understand -- I am such a silly, stupid girl!

I should have known better.

I will try to do better next time.

I apologize."

Nah, it takes a lot of intelligence to be that incorrigibly stupid.

Beat a midwit once, and she'll report you.

Beat a genius twice and she'll report herself.

Laeserin 1y ago

Well, twice is a pattern, right? You felt the need to smack her twice, and she's in the pattern both times, so she must be essential to the pattern.

Like, duh. Obvious. Think about it.

No one will come to save you. Also,no one is responsible for our happiness but ourselves. It’s not only women who act like that. I know guys that put their hope of having a good and happy life in the shoulders of their girlfriends/wifes. I do agree we need good relationships,but the first healthy and happy relationship is with yourself. If you’re not well when you’re alone,you won’t be well when you find a partner. Unrealistic expectations destroy relationships on both sides:for men and women.

Laeserin 1y ago

Yes, I know this. Intellectually.

But I tend to exhaust all options of begging for rescue before I give up and crawl off to do it myself.

Farfallica 1y ago

Don’t do that. You’re better than that.

Maybe I act differently because I grew up alone without siblings. My parents taught me to defend myself at school when I got bullied. So I never relied on anyone to do anything for me. I understand you because sometimes I do expect things that are unrealistic too,but in the end it’s good to be independent and sovereign in all aspects in life.

Laeserin 1y ago

I think it's because the intellectual and emotional hurdle for some of the things I desire is so high, that I'm intimidated by it, so I'd much rather prefer someone else fight my battles.

But nobody else wants to fight that battle. It's just me. I'm the knight.

You’re a mid forties woman that has chosen to be a SAHM. Right? What did you expect? Genuinely?

Laeserin 1y ago

Yes.

No.

This post is not about my personal life. It's about putting my faith in kings.

You are truly the shadow of me. 🤣🙌🫂

Deleted Account 1y ago

Or I’m the shadow of you if that’s easier. I truly mean no offense. 😘

Deleted Account 1y ago

I have thought this over. If you must put your faith in kings

that’s understandable

I myself led as a Dominant Masculine before. And healed a lot of Dominant Masculine that layed within them. Recognition of that is good: cause toxicity was balanced.

Then I’ve led as a Dominant Feminine. Been a Goddess & and a saint.

Divine is always within us. Our sex, private belief in Gods, Goddesses, or none…

We are good.

While I abhor most six Sigma …

Knowing I can choose Kronos or Rhea allows me to choose 🫂✨💜

What a tricky thing to know...

How do we know if our expectations are high, low or accurate? (For me is an open question, I don't have an answer)

Farfallica 1y ago

Unrealistic expectations are,among many others,to expect your partner to anticipate problems and not communicate clearly your emotions in the hope they will guess things just because they love you. Treat your partner like a parent is the biggest poison you can give to your relationship. Your wife is not your mom, your husband is not your father. Something else that is very recurrent is to be jealous of your partner’s past. We all got a past. Even a 5 year old has a past. Instead of being worried about how many guys she has slept with or how much in love he was with his ex, pay attention to now, make the relationship work out, because we are not that young anymore and we all should be glad our partners have a past,for,without that, they wouldn’t be who they are now.
