Strong Women Would Rather Be Alone Than Spend Their Time With Assholes [View all]

https://www.higherperspectives.com/strong-time-alone-2640051536.html

The primary reason is that high level of inner confidence. Strong women know who they are, and they don't need a man or a relationship to help define that.


Which leads into the second reason strong women will pick being alone over being with a jerk — because they aren't afraid of a bit of temporary loneliness.

They know true happiness comes from within, so they don't need to waste their time chasing after someone who can't provide even a modicum of emotional stability.

And this all culminates in the final point — strong women know that a relationship isn't supposed to be something to cling to avoid being alone.
