snoops in your profileAh damnit , you ' re married . Lucky wife <| sep |> Dating partners aren ' t around to boost my ego . I also never said they serve my ego or exist to please to me , because I ' m alive and female . What I deserve is to be treated well because why would I accept being not treated well ? Why would anyone ? It has nothing to do with being intrinsically more deserving of it because of my gender , or thinking I ' m better than anyone . Except , there are lots of people out there who don ' t have self esteem , who allow dates to walk all over them by sending mixed messages or giving them less than the respect they deserve and at no point did I say I do this to partners , I said I expect to be impressed , for reasons I ' ve spelled out repeatedly already . That ' s sad to me . Everyone ideally should have the self esteem to know their value and demand they be treated well as a result women especially , because too often we ' re told we don ' t deserve it see everything related to this election .
