It is your attitude about yourself that a man will adopt.
Agree with everything, explain nothing, then do what is best for you.
Don't believe what anyone tells you about yourself.
Anytime a woman competes with another woman she demeans herself.
A beautiful woman can make herself look ugly in the eyes of a man if she is very insecure.
Standing up for yourself doesn't always involve verbal confrontation. Sometimes it's about not wasting energy on people who are negative.
