Accountability

Is it me or have women/girls today stopped allowing themselves to be held accountable for not only what they say but their actions as well? Why do women/girls today not own up to who they are as people. Why does it seem like they can do whatever they please whenever they please and never have to own up to it?

We live in an age where women/girls are taught to be independent women. To be strong women who are dependent only on one person, themselves. Yet, there are quite a few times when I see times where women/girls are using and manipulating men/boys. They use men/boys to get a free meal out of them as well as, when they are dating, an expensive purse or some other pricey gift.

Maybe I am out in left field but when I go out to dinner with a guy friend of mine I feel there are two ways to handle that situation, especially when one is in a committed relationship, one way is to go Dutch, split the check, a shocking concept especially to those women who believe not only should their boyfriend/husband cater to them but every man on the planet. Another way to handle the situation is if he pays for the entire dinner then the next time that you two go out together YOU pay for the entire dinner. Now granted guys feel a bit odd when a woman pays for their dinner so your best bet is to just split the check. That way especially if you are in a relationship you don't give your guy friend the wrong idea.

Another thing I have an issue with is that girl that thinks that because it's her birthday or a holiday that your poor boyfriend/husband must either put together an extravagant event or buy that latest Michael Kors purse. Don't get me wrong presents are very much acceptable but not at the demanding level. Allow your guy to put some thought into the gift and allow him to choose the amount that he wishes to spend on you. Again if you BOTH conclude that spending crazy amounts of money of your significant other is what you wish to do then go forward and be happy. At the end of the day though if you're in a relationship then you need to just be happy with the person that your significant other is not with the money he has. Just my two cents though.

Personally if I want that expensive Michael Kors bag I'm going to find a way to get it on my own dime. I would feel better about owning that bag if I got it for myself rather than being one of those women/girls that demands her significant other get it for her. That's just how I feel about it personally. I feel achieved and proud of myself if I can provide for myself the things that I want.

I think that is where things fall flat. Why wait around for some guy to buy your dinner or that purse that you're eyeing? Why not find a way to achieve it? When did women/girls stop being responsible for their actions and how they act as people? I wonder...because I am not sure, but there is a part of me that is completely wrong about those peeves.
