You Don’t Pick the Wrong Men.
You Exit the Pressure.
Arguing with women about the men they choose is useless.
Because many women don’t choose—
they settle to avoid disappointment.
The pressure isn’t the man.
The pressure is wanting to be loved and cared for.
Wanting deeply puts the body at risk:
risk of hoping
risk of trusting
risk of being seen in desire
So instead of remaining under that pressure, the body exits.
It doesn’t exit loudly.
It exits reasonably.
You call it “being realistic.”
You call it “giving him a chance.”
You call it “not asking for too much.”
But what’s actually happening is this:
You numb desire so you don’t have to feel the vulnerability of wanting.
You settle so you don’t have to stay present with disappointment.
You choose safety over truth.
This is Womb Gate collapse.
Not because you don’t know better.
But because wanting still feels dangerous.
No amount of arguing about standards will fix this.
No list of red flags will override a nervous system that exits desire.
The work is not “pick better.”
The work is remain when desire rises.
Remain when hope appears.
Remain when care is possible.
Because every time you settle, you didn’t fail.
You left.
And life slowed right there.
