Any woman who's been in a bad relationship with a no good man, then found a good man to do right by her will co-sign this topic. My issue is: Why should a woman have to love a bad man before she appreciates a good one? That's bananas. Everybody should know how to appreciate a good (wo)man in their lives, but many don't. Some people have to learn the hard way; they have to go through several bad relationships before they can appreciate a quality spouse. Some women are so used to losing that they don't know when they've won. I don't know about anyone, but I couldn't see myself loving bad women before I finally get a good one. No, when or if a good woman comes into my life, I'm gonna appreciate her off top. She's going to get all my goodness and then some (I just hope she can handle it). Some people need to practice preventative measures: Get yourself together before a good (wo)man comes into your life. When you get that person, you'll know what to do. You won't have issues appreciating a good (wo)man in your life because you've worked on yourself. The reason why there's some validity to this statement is because some women jump into relationships with blinders on. They don't use discernment. Some women give their goodness to some random man, not knowing if he's going to appreciate it. When that man gets to acting stupid, she wonders why. You don't give the benefits in the beginning. Once you get to know someone and y'all are vibing, then you can give them the benefits of being involved with you. To give your benefits when you two are JUST getting to know each other; I can't see that. Many failed relationships can be alleviated if the couple practices caution. Stop giving the benefits without committment.
