Bad dating advice that sometimes even comes from parents to daughters:“Don’t be too independent.”“Men don’t like that.”“Don’t be too successful — dumb it down.”

But here’s my thing: a real man won’t be intimidated by your success or your independence. If he’s the right one, he won’t try to compete with your light — he’ll be inspired by it. He’ll grow, match your energy, and walk beside you, not in front of you or behind you.
You don’t need to make yourself smaller to be loved. The right person will love you at full size.
