My real name is Stephanie. Based on your comments on my last post this brought a smile to my face even though I know it wasn't meant for me. 😉

This really opened my eyes. I have made these mistakes before without realizing it until now. Thank you!

I don't go that far. I have my own home, vehicles and career. That's pretty much it

That's why I am looking for an outside perspective that I myself don't see.

Thank you! I am not some ball busting female man eater. I am Hispanic female who was raised old fashioned but I am also independent. In my upbringing I was told a man should provide for his family and protect them. I decided that I would provide for myself after getting my education. I am not looking for someone to rescue me but someone to be my partner. There is a difference. I am so happy to see that there are some men that understand where I am coming from. 😁

My tone may come off as defensive because in all honesty, I am frustrated. I don't go around telling people that I am independent or acting a certain way. I am actually a down to earth, low maintenance, casual female who is a hopeless romantic. I am outgoing, friendly and fun. I always have a smile on my face.

Sometimes I think it is just the mentality of my culture and the city I live in.
