In Love With The Illusion of Being In Love

What makes women want to chase after and be with a man they know will never change or be the man that they need them to be? Have we as women fallen so far that we have almost zero standards and are willing to settle for guys who make promises that they never intend to keep all while dragging us along for the ride? I have seen so many girls and grown ass women make this mistake. I don't even know if you can necessarily call it a mistake when it's done purposely. They will know that a guy is no good but will still try to build a relationship, and even a life with him thinking that he'll just magically change over night and wake up one morning and be the man of their dreams. I've got two words for those people, "You're dreaming!" You can't change a guy...or anyone for that matter. I don't care if you make him your boyfriend, marry him, or make him a daddy, if he didn't have respect for you before, he sure as hell isn't going to have any now, or later. When will they get it? I believe that way too many of us are simply in love with the idea of being in love. People are usually so desperate to belong to someone that they are willing to sacrifice their own long-term happiness for short-lived illusions. Being single isn't a fate worst than death my dear, but there's something else to be said for living a lie. I believe that Marilyn Monroe said it best, "It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone else."
