So, they want you broke, fatherless, and looking impoverished as well? 👀 Why? Never dim your light for someone else to shine.

[@ulovemegz]

I guess that would make some feel like "big man on campus!" LOL

[@brandygee9954]

Basically.

[@tc47440]

That’s exactly what they want.

[@02loud]

They absolutely do.

[@navimarlow]

Word for word.. bar for bar.

[@vegan4810]

It's not your responsibility to secure someone else's insecurity! That's what a therapist is for! Keep your confidence & the one will accept you and be proud of you and what you do.

[@ulovemegz]

Agreed!!!

[@BeautifulBrwnBabyDol]

Meg you are just beautiful. No ma’am. Don’t dim your light! Something to consider: when I was dating I realized that some people will project onto you how THEY would be if they had the access and the name that you do. That is telling. You are amazing, understand your worth, but you are also humble and kind. Most of them would NOT be if they had that position you have. ❤ The right one will understand exactly what you explained instead of simply going by what they assume.

[@ulovemegz]

Great point! Thank you so much!!

[@Softsoul.]

I LOVE THIS!❤

[@HoneyIYKYK]

Social media has ruined dating…small businesses, especially salons and barbershops….people’s self esteem…living in the moment…and so much more lol

Don’t share any socials until you are actually in a relationship with someone. That’s the best advice I can give you.

[@ulovemegz]

@@MiaMsMoo so if I share I'm a content creator and they say “oh that's cool where can I check you out?” what should I say?

[@YouWell2]

​@@ulovemegzi like how you don't reduce this conversation into a men-bashing session. in time, the man that matches and complents your energy will surely come. you are attractive in many ways, and you come across as non-combative.

[@garygreen7104]

​@@ulovemegzjust let them slide the reason isn't even important. Keep shining.

[@RelDaDev]

​@@YouWell2 this is the one 💯 she comes off as a genuine sweetheart. Not entirely sure about the ignorance around not understanding the view of appearing high maintenance not a bad thing really especially if and could very well be sincere. Most men know and\or experience that it becomes an expectation or their responsibility to at least contribute to in some way. But when you're a truly awesome woman and give him the same energy in return. Many men will happily do so. She definitely sounds sincere so this will help her find who's right for her and stand out from the girls those guys avoid. Especially because of how she speaks about this and doesn't bash.

[@amira_shmira]

@@YouWell2the men have arrived to give their opinion on everything and nothing at the same time. Instead of giving scooby snacks for tone checking you could’ve given your opinion on the topic at hand but I guess that would be too much like the right thing to do 😵‍💫

[@CupcAk47]

Honey, dating is just trippy these days. I think social media has improved our access, but it has damaged our social skills.

[@ulovemegz]

I totally agree!

[@tanyas1644]

Sis, please don’t let these men gaslight you. They will find any reason to ghost. Their insecurities have nothing to do with you. There’s literally nothing wrong with you. Be your beautifully blessed self and the right man will love you. Be your authentic self… continue to grow, stay in tuned and fine tune what you want. It’s coming. ❤

[@ulovemegz]

Thank youuuu 💕

[@827honey1]

High maintenance is code for can't afford to date you and understand you won't be easily impressed. Also having a good relationship with your father means they can't run game on you because he will spot the b.s. a mile away. Men avoid women with standards and expectations.

[@VerleanHurd]

No damn lies detected. However, boys do that. Men love a woman with standards.

[@ulovemegz]

I think that is a big part because my discernment is so on point now! I have standards I stand by and many don't wish to sustain that.

[@clara7920]

It’s wonderful you have a good relationship with your Dad. Dating is challenging because you have lots of men that are avoidants and have low self esteem and some are not where they need to be financially. Glad u share.

[@ulovemegz]

Yeah I'm getting alot of avoidant communication and attachment! You're right because I'm noticing a lot of that.

[@KeepingUpWithAdine]

Some men's egos are very sensitive. I'm not a full-time content creator but I live a very blessed life and they still feel a type of way Lol.

[@ulovemegz]

I can definitely see that. It may just be how some women are able to provide for themselves and that can have some feeling a way lol which is odd but heeeey what can we do lol

[@brandygee9954]

I found this out too. 😮 Especially if they didn't have active fathers. Is there a jealousy there- or just me?

@@brandygee9954 is not just you. I think the same thing .Some men really be jealous. 🥴

[@KeepingUpWithAdine]

@@ulovemegz all we can do is keep living our best lives. Just like you said the right one will stick around.

[@ICreateThoughts]

They can’t afford you that’s it. You’re dodging a lot of narcs as well. They hate women who love & take care of themselves. Your shining light & self confidence intimidates them.

[@ulovemegz]

It's more that they want an easier route because they definitely can afford the same things I have and have more than me. I think its the effort they wish to not take part in. For some of these men, their job title is their pull, and when I'm not impressed by that alone... it's like they don't know what to do because I'm somewhat of their equal and I'm used to what they're used to LOL

[@Softsoul.]

War zone 😅

[@AllysseMarie]

Men are more complicated than women are, truly. There were so many red flags in those Reddit threads it’s not even funny. They want you to look like an Instagram baddie that has your DMs full in person, but they in fact also want you to have 12 followers with a default photo of your cat. All the responses you were getting about your “follower count” being the issue is because that’s an issue for them. They don’t know how to act with all those followers. Power is the weakness of many men. It has made them just as quickly as it has ruined him. Our weakness as women is love. All you have to do is love us. It doesn’t matter how powerful we become, we will always come back to your love. They got the game all twisted up.

[@brownie3401]

Keep doing you girl!!! Those guys are grown boys not men. They haven’t done the work to be secure. The real men who are secure will be proud to be with a woman like you. It’s great you’ve worked on your inner self, you look great on the outside too😍😍 Side note: I’m sick and tired of these men making women feel like we are a lot to handle just because we love to look after ourselves and are financially independent.

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so much!!! Its almost like they freeze up and don't know what to do! LOL

[@itsjenscott6320]

Let's start with...YOU LOOK STUNNING MEG, WHEW 😍 back to the video.

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@ICreateThoughts]

Nope! They’re just insecure. I don’t care what you look like or have. If a man wants you he don’t give a ish. Having a positive father image scares the losers.

[@ulovemegz]

Agreed! I think its the attention thing too

[@iamlashawnda]

Girl you are so right. That is not your problem that they are intimidated by your success and following. I think the bar has become soooo lowwwwwww when it comes to what guys bring to the table that they want you to just let them slide with the bare minimum... And if you aren't a damsel in distress then all of a sudden they are no longer interested.

[@MzBunny2790]

I feel like social media podcasts are ruining everyone’s dating lives. If you’re attractive, and you have a certain body type, men automatically assume, ”you’re for the streets”. With your situation, you also have to be careful of men trying to get clout off of your success as well. But my advice is to just stay positive and believe that what’s for you, won’t miss you.

[@SandcastleGirl]

Omg I 1000% agree! I recently commented on a topic regarding Chris brown taking a pictures with his fans. The men in the comment session were ranting about how disrespectful it was and how the girl don't have no respect for their man. I agreed with the one gentlemen (he's seem like the rare confident and secure type) who said it's just a picture and real men are not worried by a pic, especially if it's with a celebrity and she paid to see him. A lot of men said came hard after me and said "I'm for the streets". The funny part they don't know about me is I'm a virgin and never been intimate before, so how could I be for the streets, wtf 🙄 lol. Like if your insecure and not confident with yourself, then just say that! We can have an opinion and agree to disagree, but just be respectful. But of course, I'm not surprised they reacted that way as a lot of them are not stable mentally and are frustrated with their lives lol 😆 😂 🤣

[@VerleanHurd]

The men that were talking to you on Thread are telling you how they think and feel. Clearly, they don't have their ish together. The ones that ghost you did you a favor. They made room for the right man to come into your life. Stop looking, and allow yourself to be found. One last thing, a secure man will never be intimidated by your social media and lifestyle. Key word is secure.

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so much! I actually allow myself to be found, and these individuals approach me first, so it's always really interesting how it turns out when my social media is revealed.

[@thebeautystarlet]

I love that you’re being so resilient in this process!!!! I think in this day and age, the girls that can continue to get back up and keep trying and stay open will find someone. Also, I find the most confident men don’t have social media, so maybe start looking for men who don’t fool with it.

[@ulovemegz]

I agree! The past relationship I had was great because he didn't have social media and wasn't into it and didn't feel any way about me being on social. It was way less stressful lol

[@UrbangirlnLA]

One of the many things I've enjoyed about following you over the years is not only are you talented and have a great personality but you're humble. With that being said, I think you should continue to be upfront. The guys who shy away from you with reasons, like "You're high maintenance" is code for "I can't afford to AND not willing to do what it takes to date you!" Because when you really think about it, it means this guy is going to have to work a bit harder than he normally does to afford to do things for you that you can already do for yourself. He has to put a bit more consideration in the activities, restaurants, trips, and gifts! AND YOU SHOULD NOT EVER feel the need to make someone you're interested in pursuing a relationship with feel as if he doesn't need to do the aforementioned things because you are worth it Megan! I am not a fortune teller so I can't say when it will happen, but you will eventually connect with the guy meant for you so keep your head up so that your crown doesn't fall off! 💪🏽💞👸🏽

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so much! I totally agree! Keeping that crown on straight STRAIGHT!!!! Yesss you better say the word!

[@cecilaanderson8936]

It’s never the woman responsibility to find the man . God designed the man to find you. Just be in position with having your priorities in line so the right one will come . Men will come but you want the one sent from God to stay .

Even if a man finds you, is it not on you as a woman to say yes or no? Whether woman or man, you still make a choice. You're not meant to stand there passively and just accept somebody because they chose you, you are also meant to choose.

[@SandcastleGirl]

This video came out at the right time. I'm a 32 year old woman, never dated yet, but I'm working on myself (fearful avoidant/anxiety) before I start getting comfortable with the dating scene. What I've observed over the past year is a lot of men appear to be confident, but they have some of the biggest insecurities, are not financially/career independant, and have low self-esteem. Instead of working on themselves, they just say women are to blame and have too many standards. They view women who are self-sufficient, highly productive, or independent as masculine/high maintenance or not submissive. A lot of them want to dim your light, knock down your confidence, and put you in a box of how a woman is "suppose" to be. They also expect to provide the bear minimum in a relationship but then turn around and lust for the same ig/only fans models they despise. A lot of those men you mentioned also seem like the type that are overly dominant/masculine, don't want rules/boundaries and know they will get called out for not contributing when it comes to things such as cooking, cleaning, assisting with child care, paying rent/bill, etc so they say we're to high maintenance. Hoping black women will lower their standards and settle in order to boost their fragile egos. I think it's important to look into the qualities of a man and things they say while your dating, as this will determine whether they are the right fit for you. Personally, I need a man who respects women, wants a partnership, is a great personality fit, is God-fearing, financially secure, loves me, patient, understanding and provides acts of service. I believe confident people will naturally attract one another, but it will take quite a bit of time. Whenever god gives you something good, it requires patience, though the wait can be painful. Keep living in your truth, walk in confidence, and always focus on yourself and do the right things in life. You will surely get someone wonderful in your life that will attract you and is secure and confident. PS, this might be a weird suggestion, but have you looked in dating male content creators or someone in the same industry as you? I feel when you have someone who shares the same interests as you, that could help lessen the blow of hiding who you are. Love your videos as always, please keep em coming! 🥰😍❤️

[@ulovemegz]

That was well said, and I experienced many of the things you stated in the past. It's so interesting how a man on paper appears to have all their ducks in a row but lack confidenence, and I've noticed a lot of that through conversation. So far, the men I've been interacting with have been more on the corporate, medical, and entrepreneurial side of things, so there shouldn't be any problems there, but boy, was I wrong. I haven't organically met any content creators but I'm open to exploring that in the future if it happens.

I’ve literally given up on dating and it’s sad to say because I’m just 27. I’m not a social media girl and honestly I’m more of a homebody. But, ofc I do occasional outings. No one approaches, most times they just look. I’m a tall girl, with a nice figure. Never been told I’m unattractive, yet, no compliments. I just keep to myself because most of these men are only after one thing. I want someone to know me and like me for me. You go on a date with them and they expect you to come to their house. STDs/STIs are so rampant nowadays. I just can’t with the games. I’m leaving it in Gods hands now, while continuing to live my best life

As soon as I saw ChitChat instant like!! Girl, I feel you!!! My dating life is the same. I don’t have a huge social media following but the guys I’ve been meeting on dating sites have been over sexualizing me. I don’t have provocative pictures at all and as soon as I turn them down in a classy way they ghost me. I know it’s not the same as what you’re going through but f**k man… I’m in my thirties and watching everyone having kids and getting married really makes me wonder what am I doing wrong?? I have a great personality, I take care of myself, great career and now I’m a cat lady (only one but still.) Please continue posting your journey, it definitely feels good to know I’m not the only one!! 😘♥️

Yes the over sexualizing people and having assumptions is the wildest thing I've experienced too! Its so strange these days and its very frustrating

[@25lawyergirl]

I’ve been following you since 2010 and I can tell you’re as cool as a fan girl. Let me say that what you’re experiencing is rooted in the men’s insecurity. Period. I am a 7 figure business owner, high maintenance, and got my ish all the way together. That is intimidating for the man that is used to being performative or one that doesn’t have to work to get women because they can flash their car or high paying job and the panties drop. A woman who is established, secure in herself and authentic is going to repel a man that is not secure enough to rise to the challenge. You absolutely NEED a man that is secure in his business, life, and/or career already. At this stage in your life, i dont care how much you like a man, if he’s not there already RUN! He’s only going to try to dim your light and make you feel like you’re not that girl because he definitely knows he’s not that man! Mkay! You are beyond the phase of helping a man build because like you said, you know who you are & what you bring to the table. Your audience is drawn to you for your authenticity and your person will be drawn to you for the exact same reason. Keep being you. Thank GOD when they ghost you because they getting out the way for your man! I’ve never met you but your spirit shines through in your videos. You’ll meet your match when the time is right. God bless you girl!

[@prettybrown6247]

You just need a high value man boo. I’ve been told I’m intimidating also when a man sees you’re so pretty and you have all these things for yourself. It’s gonna take an extra alpha male who thrives in his divine masculine energy to be able to take you off the market. I’ve accepted my love story may take a little longer but I’m not lowering my standards or how I am as a person.

[@ulovemegz]

I agree with you. The men I've been interacting with have been good candidates "on paper" and are equal or have more going on than I do, but I agree it's going to have to be someone extra EXTRA lol secure.

[@jolynnmarie725]

I personally don’t have social media at all and after watching this, I learned that if the man really wants to get to know me, he will need to spend time with me to find out who I am through different seasons of life and I understand this will take some time and that is okay. Nowadays people just go to social media and find all the information they need and make quick and sometimes false assumptions and judgments about people.

[@yveray]

I think some people value anonymity more than in the past. When you date a content creator, you open yourself up to criticism from strangers. No matter how much you may try to hide your partner, people are dedicated to finding out lol. That’s just my take on it.

[@VerleanHurd]

They can't find out if you don't show them. Or, say you're in a relationship.

[@ulovemegz]

Yeah, I've hidden a few long-term relationships and kept it 100% offline because I just don't think my relationship should be content, lol. I get a picture now and then, but entire content like couples content isn't my thing.

Be who you are and allow them the space and opportunity to accept it or decide that it’s not for them. Similar to people who don’t want to date someone in law enforcement or the military. It’s all about your choices. You have the choice to be a great content creator and they have the option to say no, that’s not who I want my partner to be. It’s no reflection on you or them. Everyone has requirements and standards. Keep up the good work , be who you are and who you need and want will show up.

It is definitely their personal insecurity; and yes, it does weed out who is truly getting to know you, for you and not what you do. How you present yourself is one of the reason why they wanted to "get to know you" but once they get a grip that you are alllll the way put together in every aspect, it intimidates them.

Love this video. You’ll find the right person. Some men a just painfully insecure

[@girlygirl1890]

Meghan I am 54 years and I am speaking to you as if I were an "auntie". It's not that these men are intimidated or don't have self esteem. Most men that are making a decent living for themselves definately already HAVE that. I can tell you what I've heard so many men say. They want PEACE in a relationship. I can tell you that although you are not, alot of these influencers ARE high maintenance. Some of them portray that they live these "over exxagerated" lifestyles", and have to buy all these MATERIAL things to APPEAR a certain way and that is a turn-off for most decent men. Plus, being on social media and You tube and making videos can mean possible "exposure of one's life" and that's a noooo for most men that WANT that peace in their home. Let's be real...we all know that social media can be a head-ache for people if they have to deal with it everyday. Especially if it is someone's job. Don't listen to these comments saying "If he can't handle it".... "He has low self esteem"....blah blah blah. I think men don't want to deal with all of the "extras" that may come from dealing with it everyday. And that is understandable. I'll be honest with you. If I was single and if a man I was interested in told me that he is an "Influencer" or makes videos, It would be a little bit of a turn-off to me as well. Only because that's not how I would want to live my life. And it's not because I have low self esteem at all. We all know the different reasons. All they know in the beginning, is that you make videos and are doing social media, so for them...they are like "Oh boy...here we go"... People want - what they want in their life. I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. So, I'm not saying dim your light at all. I'm just saying you will find someone that is willing to accept your job. They just assume it will bring more head-aches to their life, when that's not necessarily true. Just be diligent and don't give up on searching. He's out there and good luck to you.

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so much! I think it all takes the correct person who will “get it” and who will understand who I am and how I operate because we all aren’t on that kind of time, and it just sucks to be clumped into assumptions that ALL influencers are social media centered and never turn it off but hopefully one day I’ll run into someone who understands my purpose and how I operate, but I understand if someone wishes to have someone who doesn’t have a social media presence but it would be nice to have communicated about it if its a concern instead of just ghosting someone you've been speaking to for weeks.

[@girlygirl1890]

@@ulovemegz Totally agree with you. I think some men just don't want to hurt a person's feelings, so they may think it's better not to say anything at all about it. Most know that it will not change anyway, and who are they to even ask that of someone, even later on in the relationship. Don't want to go down that route... So they may take the easy way out early on, which is bad. But yes, what you said is so true. Blessings to you and you'll find him.💕💕

I have lived in Los Angeles for 40 years and never had good luck dating here. Its hard for blk women dating in L.A regardless of social media

[@1511ajmb]

it just seems the guys you are dating are not on your level. Level up a bit in your search and you will find what you are looking for.

[@ulovemegz]

I definitely agree on a communication level because it's not there. On paper they are definitely on my level if were talking levels but even that sounds weird to me LOL because I don't view myself to be on a level LOL but as far as their lifestyle and careers etc we actually are on the same level which is what throughs me off. Communication is lacking for sure!

[@kharyzma4u]

Thanks for sharing. It's true, people have a problem with people on social media. Could be jealousy and insecurity. Even people in a person's family act funny when they see you doing well on social media. I personally don't tell anyone anymore, just for safety purposes. If I meet other influencers, I share. I've realized that if a person will like me for me, they don't need all that info at first. I take it one day at a time. I'm not giving out my social media info because that literally is all my info too soon. I stay in the Lord and let Him do what He do. 😊 I think you'll be fine. If you "appear high maintenance", you're just "high maintenance" for them. Be yourself and the person God has for you will know how to respond to you and everything you come with in due time and due season.

[@TiannaEss]

I hate when guys ask for my socials now. Why can’t we just talk and text? Why can’t we just go out and get to know each other that way? When I tell guys I don’t have WhatsApp or any of the socials they stop communicating.

[@Ashley-qx4my]

My friend was telling a guy that she was going to play pickle ball with her dad, a guy said it was weird that she soent time with him like that. So yeah they didlike fatherless women allegedly but also women with a father is also a problem. Also, this may seem bad but are a lot of the men you date Black men cuz yeah thats a thing they're well known for disliking. You being a woman who has her own money, home, etc. Projection is another thing with them being that if they had a large social media following, they would be sleeping with every woman who dms them. They fugure that mist be you too. Its a mess. They're the wrong guys, your social media wouldnt be a problem for the right person.

I have experienced something a tad bit different, not being liked by anyone. No one approaching me, no one interested in a friendship or relationship. I guess dating gets complicated as you grow.

[@sidehustlevikki1066]

I disagree with a lot of the comments that the man is insecure. Social media is a slippery slope. I think it’s more so that ppl do have a negative perception of influencers. Now that influencers have been a thing for a while and lost its appeal I think most of us know/ think social media is fake and disingenuous. I can get why a guy would be skeptical about dating an influencer. Good luck

[@r.a5765]

Same here! Not saying that the perception of these men is correct but to dismiss it completely is crazy to me. The thing is if the shoe was on the other foot - a man dismissing feedback he was getting from tons of women - we would call him crazy. Megz is clearly beautiful and attracting these men so it's not her per se, but the perception these men have in their heads once they find out about her social media, that's the obstacle. So dismissing the perception part is only going to do harm.

[@gigi4love990]

NOT MY PROBLEM, NOT MY BUSINESS 😂 YES! I agree, social media has got things so twisted around when it comes to dating and expectations. The concept of starting a relationship or interaction by lying is so backwards. I’m not sure why there’s so much resistance to just communicating their own insecurities or misgivings about your job/confidence/lifestyle aside from the fact that the men need some therapy 😅 Best of luck Megz! Been rocking with you for yearssss and loving every season bc you’re so joyful and genuine and authentic! Of the millions of men on earth all you need is one and I believe one amazing man will show up!!

[@naturallybecoming831]

Yeah social media has created so many assumptions and generalizations that ppl take that as reality. It’s sad that they’ll project and try to make their insecurities your issue. I’m scared to even try dating because ppl always act like having standards is asking for too much when they’re just too insecure to even meet them. This affected my self esteem for a while but now I see a lot of them are just looking for someone to validate them by lowering themselves to their standards

[@ulovemegz]

Yessss I can so relate! Just take your time and breaks when needed because I think I’m going to take a break myself.

[@sandratee5547]

Most definitely a challenging journey for having a successful career. I believe being transparent is best. I lead with God. I always pray that if this is not the one you have for me reveal it to me. As discouraging as it may feel, I find happiness within because I prefer a genuine love rooted in God. Dating can take a lot of energy out of when it’s forced. I’m a lot older than you but we are still faced with similar challenges. I’m praying and hoping that the right man will find you and that there is nothing you can do that will make him leave, respectfully and genuinely that is.

[@STEPnREPEAT]

Omggg yes! I have experienced this! I can't figure out what's the problem. I'm a self sufficient girl working in beauty marketing and have a side business as well as im a streamer. Guys are attracted, go on dates, love bomb me....then, THEY DISAPPEAR!! IDK what the issue is!

[@ulovemegz]

I’ve experienced the EXACT thing! It’s so odd!

[@stefaknee]

Gurrrrl right “NOT OUR PROBLEM “ most times their insecurities stem from the person they know THEY are in other women’s DM’s ain’t nobody got time fa that 🙄 I’m in a relationship and manage MANY pages most times I don’t check inboxes because there almost NEVER about business… my pages are STRICTLY how I pay my bills… “boys bye” 🙄

[@scarletraven984]

I completely agree with everything you said and don't think you're doing anything wrong. In recent years, I wonder if some are worried of becoming "content" which I wouldn't personally want either. I've heard you say they are on your level financially, but would you date someone that is on your level social media wise?

[@ulovemegz]

Great points! Yeah, I totally understand if I'm seeing someone and they don't want to be "content," and if that is their issue, I would love to have the opportunity to have a conversation about those relationship boundaries because I'm very private in general and would understand that concern to discuss it.

[@MarleyGurl6]

That happened to me before. Men will look at your lifestyle and feel intimidated. They probably feel like they can't afford you. That's what I was told.

[@CutiepieCaramel]

Hey beautiful, Queen 👸🏽! How you move is up to you. I'm a content creator, but I was married prior to starting that. My husband enjoys watching my vids and is supportive. However, I have almost no followers 😂! But, he would still be fine, because he encourages me to create. Option 1: Be honest about your work, but stop sharing your socials. It's NOT a lie, it's keeping your business and personal separate. You can share it later when you see the man is actually invested in you, the relationship, etc. Option 2: Share everything as you are doing, and let the chips fall where they may. Men ALWAYS make assumptions about women with EVERYTHING. They judge women quickly and harshly. I wish women did them the same way. Just express that your content is about hair!!! Also, maybe date different kinds of men, Meg. I think you know what I mean by that... There are men of different kinds who could happily afford your maintenance and not bat an eye (even though you aren'trequesting that). I said what I said, and you're a smart enough girlie to understand me. What would I do? Option 1: and he wouldn't get access until we were engaged 😂. I have to keep it real. When a man is in love, not like, he will accept way more! Hugs to you 🤗!!!

[@ulovemegz]

It is wonderful to hear that he is supportive and watches! That's super sweet. I think option 1 is a great option because the assumptions without communication is killing the process lol.

[@kocoaberry7041]

Everyone has preconceived notions how about someone else depending on their looks or where they're from or what they do for a living. I don't want to sound like a Hallmark card but if a man is not jumping over joy to be with you girl after everything you've accomplished and how beautiful you are. Clearly you are dating beneath you and maybe you need to set your sights on a higher level of men.

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so much! These men "on paper" are absolutely GREAT candidates if we were talking about careers and finances, but there's much more that would be needed to have a successful relationship. Social media seems to be where the line stops, which is unfortunate. These successful men seem not to want the attention I have on social.

[@colbybarney6870]

When you least expect it.. he’ll find you. I know that’s cliche, but I so believe it’s true.

[@perfectdiva22]

First off, I have been following your channel for a long time and I must say your hair and makeup looks fabulous. Continue to shine and do not allow people to dim your light. Secondly, the right man will come along eventually and when it happens, you're not even going to expect it. Until then, continue doing you. Sometimes a rejection is actually God's protection.

[@mmhnma]

You’re right girl, it’s not your problem. A secure man will support you in your career choices. These men out here are a mess.

[@tkoart7562]

Men trip over the strangest things. It also depends where you’re meeting these guys. Maybe try a change of scenery and new experiences that align with the kind of man you want. I know you didn’t mention this in the video, so you could’ve already tried this but I thought it was worth a suggestion.

[@ulovemegz]

Aw thank you! I don't think the issue is where I'm meeting or the kinds of guys because they're all successful themselves but Im starting to think its the attention from social. Like how do people navigate dating and social media.

[@KC-kg3ld]

We’re also in a space where big platforms are seen as a bit cringe. Big influencers tend to be self obsessed (not saying you). I wouldn’t date someone with a big social media platform. I have a decent following on TikTok but I don’t post my face so it’s a bit different. You may have to find someone with no social media hun therefore it won’t matter. That person is probably not in la tho…….

I’ve experienced men judging off my social media and the things I post. I don’t monitor what I post even though it’s nothing bad but I find men will treat you a way by what you post. Men are weird and it’s what you said insecure. I’m not high maintenance but I still want nice things but I think men in general believe that women who are glitz glam and have all the material things they feel that we are too much so they go for the ones that don’t require a lot. I think that being honest off the rip and if they stay that great if they don’t you know what they were there for.

[@Breonaleonard]

First, you look amazing!♥️ Remember quantity over quality. You will absolutely meet your match/person. You are bubbly, beautiful and talented. I’m wondering, do you think you’ve been dating on your level ? I only ask because generally the type of men who get intimidated by a woman are usually the ones who aren’t winning in their own lane. I’ve had great experiences with the men who are successful and confident in who they are. My fiancé is a commercial real estate broker and he’s been the most supportive person ever! Never intimidated and brags about me. I also think there’s a stigma that comes with being an influencer which is unfortunate bc people shouldn’t make assumptions.

[@ulovemegz]

Hey, thank you so much! I've been dating UP UP UP! Doctors, executives, coaches, etc., so if we were speaking of levels, they are WELL ABOVE and beyond as far as lifestyle and financial security, etc, but as soon as I share my socials when asked, it COMPLETELY changes!

[@Breonaleonard]

@@ulovemegzugh that’s frustrating! And Good👏🏾👏🏾 Okay I’m glad to hear that🥰 I think you hit the nail on the head in the video. A lot of men aren’t actually secure in themselves. Theyre not honest about the fact that the relationship dynamic that makes them feel the most confident is one where the women is beneath them and insecure. I’ve met plenty of men in the past who loved to shout about how they love a confident woman but really couldn’t handle it. Like you said, you’re weaving the ones who aren’t meant for you early on

[@Softsoul.]

Such a beautiful woman. I live in the netherlands, dated almost all races, different ages etc and came to the conclusion that is not me but the dating culture. If its not the single mothers or the educated or the 9to5 girlies its something else. Men have been lost for centries. They created social systems like religion and the male gaze to oppress women. If you know that you are almost the perfect woman then its their lost. I got so sad often times because of ghosting but since I decentered men from my life i dont take it personally. And I stoppend dating or entertain situtionships in general. I deserve mental and emotional safety and the modern men is not able to give me that so I give it to myself. With a lot of men you cant be a good honest woman. There ego is always in they way and they themselves battle with it. But i also think that a lot of people made social media influencers look bad. Its a warzone at this point

[@bangibabs]

You should be happy that the guys leave you alone if you are not their preference instead of having someone come along only to nag you and bring you down. I would not call it insecurity but a personal preference. We as woman also say we do not want a man who is always out with their boys drinking cause they may be up to no good. That does not make you insecure but clear on what you want. Unfortunately most people will make assumptions and all you can do is make peace with that reality. The right person will come. A secure person will be first honest with themselves and with you and let you know it will not work. It sucks that they ghost you but some people don’t feel comfortable with telling someone they are not for them which usually is a guy thing. Glad you don’t let it get to you.

[@ulovemegz]
