The guys you choose to be in a relationship with take you for granted.

Once you are in a relationship with him, you don’t hear the words that make you feel attractive.

He isn’t telling you that you are beautiful as he once did when he was courting you.

He doesn’t notice it when you change your hairdo, wear a new outfit, wear a new perfume, etc.

Being that you are in a relationship with him, you expect him to keep telling you about how beautiful you are to him, even on days you don’t feel beautiful.

As far as you are concerned, that is part of his responsibility to you as your partner.

Yet, whenever you are in a relationship with a guy, you don’t get that sort of treatment as time wears on.

Rather, you are the one who is fishing for compliments from him.

Once you are in a relationship, you do everything in your power to make him feel secure about your loyalty to him.

Whenever you are out and about with him, or alone, you don’t wear overly revealing clothing, out of a respect for him.

You eschew making eye contact with men, so that you don’t give them the wrong impression.

Furthermore, you avoid venues where inebriated men occupy, such as nightclubs and bars, so as to steer clear of unwanted male attention.

Showing respect for your partner is a frequent thought in your mind, and you know that where you go, and how you present yourself and behave in public arenas, is a huge part of that.

You do the same with your social media pictures.

You keep those pictures classy, out of a respect for your partner, so as to circumvent garnering unwanted attention from men.

Whenever you are in a relationship with a man, you are respectful of him and do everything in your power to make him feel secure about your faithfulness as his girlfriend.

In doing this, your partner becomes the primary source of any substantive ego boost you get in regards to your physical appearance.

Even though your mom calls you beautiful all the time, it doesn’t have the same effect as when you hear those words from a partner.

You want to hear your partner call you beautiful and consistently exemplify his appreciation for your beauty.

The men that you get into relationships with fail in this department, over and over again.

It’s like reliving the same ordeal in perpetuity, regardless of how promising every single one of these relationships begin.

When he courts you, he is never short on compliments.

You feel as though you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

Sadly, once you get into a relationship with him, the compliments gradually disappear, until they become nonexistent.

On the contrary, when you are single, you feel attractive.

This has to do with how your attitude changes.

You are no longer wearing safe outfits when you go out in public.

You are no longer posting nonprovocative photos of yourself on social media.

You are no longer avoiding social venues where inebriated men inhabit.

On the contrary, you are wearing more revealing outfits when you go out in public.

You are posting photos that are more provocative on social media.

You are going to clubs and nightclubs where men, especially inebriated men, occupy.

All of this leads to an increase in attention.

You are getting more compliments from people in one week than you ever did throughout your last relationship.

This makes you feel more attractive than you have felt in a long time.
