In today’s society, everyone talks about how girls are slutty. Are they actually trying to be slutty, though? Or maybe they’re just hoping for some attention? Maybe that girl who slept with the guy from the bar last night did it because she secretly hoped it would be more than just sex. But no one talks about that part. We need to change how society sees us, and take back our confidence.

Ladies: You Are Not A Piece Of Meat.

Stop letting guys walk all over you. Why would you in the first place? Because you got attention from them? Those late night texts are not for him to call you his girlfriend. He wants to get some, and get some more from someone else tomorrow night. You deserve better than this. Yes, it is a harsh reality that no girl wants to hear, but at the end of the day, it’s true, and you are better than him and you know it.

Ladies: Wear What You Want.

Sure, no outfit you wear says “you can have sex with me,” but would you wear some of those clothes in front of your family? If you’re getting dressed up for a party and you are trying on so many different outfits for a guy to notice you, you’re doing it wrong. Wear something that you feel confident in, not something that makes you look trashier than you are. No decent guy is going to approach a girl that has all of her skin hanging out. Keep it to one thing: boobs, butt, or legs. Stop wearing a low cut crop top with a very short skirt. How about high wasted jeans and a crop top? Or a high neck tank top with a short skirt. Wear what makes you feel confident in your own skin and show less, because the imagination means more to guys than you might think.

Ladies: Stop Caking On Makeup

You are beautiful. Sure, if makeup makes you feel confident and you do it for yourself and no one else, then wear it! Wear it all of the time. But stop putting on a face that isn’t yours. A nice guy isn’t going to love your makeup, he’s going to love you for you. Of course we won’t give it all up, I personally look dead without a little bit of eyeliner. But when it gets to the point that you look more like a Kardashian than yourself, that is starting to be a problem. Natural beauty is better than materials, and the guys that know this are the ones worth keeping around.

Ladies: Stop Settling For Less Than You Deserve.

Let someone meet your standards, don’t lower yours to meet theirs. You are beautiful. You are smart. You have a great personality. You are fun to be around. You have a future. You have goals. You have dreams. You are NOT a booty call. Do not let guys treat you like you are. Wait for the one that texts you at all hours of the day, not late at night. The guy that takes you on a real date in public. The guy that wants to take you home to meet his parents. The guy that would do anything for his amazing and beautiful girlfriend. Yes, girlfriend. Wait for the guy that is willing to commit and give all of his love to you and you only. Don’t give it all away before that-- it will mean much more down the road. Sure, the wait might suck, but never ever settle for less than this guy because you have self-worth. Save the tears for something worth crying over because you damn well deserve a lot more than you think.
