Why Your Standards After Divorce Make You 'Undateable' (Good)
"You're too picky." "You need to lower your expectations." "You're not getting any younger." Sound familiar? If you're getting pressure to settle for less than you deserve just because you're divorced, this episode is for you.
In this empowering conversation, I'm flipping the script on the criticism divorced women get for having standards. Spoiler alert: if having standards makes you "undateable" to men who can't meet them, then congratulations - your standards are working exactly as they should.
You'll discover:
- Why your post-divorce standards aren't "too high" - they're hard-earned wisdom from lived experience
- The difference between having standards and having unrealistic expectations (and why most divorced women actually have very reasonable requirements)
- Why society is so uncomfortable with women who know what they want and aren't afraid to ask for it
- How your divorce taught you what you absolutely won't accept again (and why that's beautiful, not bitter)
- The myth that desperation is attractive and why confidence is what actually draws quality people
- Why being "undateable" to the wrong men is the best filter system you could ask for
- The pressure to settle because of age, kids, or "limited options" (and why that's garbage)
- How your standards protect you from repeating past mistakes and keep you available for someone worthy
- What reasonable post-divorce standards actually look like in real life
- Why the right person will appreciate your selectiveness instead of asking you to lower your bar
If you've been made to feel like you're asking for too much, being unrealistic, or that you should be grateful for any attention you get, this episode will remind you that you deserve to be treated well - and that refusing to settle is actually a superpower.
