What if I told you that for generations, women have been conditioned to choose partners not based on love, but on societal approval? That in many cases, emotional fulfillment was never even part of the equation?

For too long, society has dictated who women should be with. The focus has often been on who can provide, who can father children, and who can hold the title of a husband — rather than on deep emotional connection. A woman’s own desires, feelings, and expectations were treated as luxuries rather than necessities. The idea of choosing love over mere availability was almost unheard of.

But times are changing.

Women are no longer simply settling for who is interested in them — we are choosing who is worthy of us. Emotional connection is no longer an afterthought. We are demanding that our feelings be acknowledged, that our emotional needs be met, and that the outdated narrative of women enduring emotionally detached relationships be rewritten.
