The A Type

F: 'I know what it is. I don't think you're Alpha male girlfriend or wife material'

Me: 'What is that meant to mean?'

F: 'It means they don't choose women who make them feel inadequate. They choose women who will support them while they play the game. Not women who they'll need to show up for as spectators.'

Me: 'Oh. So then what do i do?'

F: 'Lower your expectations. Choose someone less A type. Someone who doesn't need to be in control.'

Me: 'I like driven men. They're hot.'

F: 'T'hey're not hot when they tell you that you're too independent and not at home enough and always wrapped up in your projects. You are not a doll - and in the end, they can't handle it.'

Me: 'So what am i mean to do?'

F: 'Change yourself.'

Me: 'Not gonna happen. What else you got?'

F: 'Change what you're prepared to accept in a man. Choose someone who will let you be in control
Me: I don't WANT to be in control of someone else's life. I want someone who is so secure and in control in his own life that he will let me be me, leave me alone to do my thing and give me all the support I need to succeed.'

F: 'And that's not exactly been an easy find, has it?'

Me: 'And so where does that leave me?'

F: 'Alone.'

Me: 'Well thanks for calling. That's great news. That's really fantastic news.'
