Do (Millennial) Women Even Have a Qualification Process for Dating These Days?

Let me explain.

There’s a qualification process for pretty much anything in life. Want to go to college? There’s a list of requirements you need to fulfill. New Job? Same thing. Want to buy a car? Credentials. Home? More credentials. I think you get the point.

I would like to add that I’m not taking about the tall, dark, and handsome requirements almost all women want from men. I mean character traits. Women, are we asking men if they are integral, honest, open to communication and feedback, have patience, etc? I believe one of the reasons women are severely disappointed in the dating pool is because we are all asking for the wrong credentials. Most of us do not have a thoughtful process by which we decide whether or not a particular man is worth dating.

And because of this reason (among others) we’re out here on social media complaining all the darn time. I understand the frustration, but I’ve also learned that many of us are looking for the attention that we want in the wrong places. We’re at fault too for not having a quality qualification process to help find a good man. We need to do the internal work for ourselves first, and then look for a man that follows suit.
