BOOK EXCERPT
📖 Do Women Really Know What They Want From Men?
Excerpted and adapted from Wake Up Ladies book by Bart Smith. Reprinted by Permission.
Let’s stop playing games. You are absolutely miserable in your dating life because you are shopping for a checklist instead of a human being.
You scream at the top of your lungs that there are "no good men left," but the truth is you wouldn't recognize a king if he stood right in front of you. You’ve let brainless social media algorithms, superficial girlfriends, and trashy reality TV rewrite your desires.
You are hyper-focused on a man's height, his tax bracket, and the emblem on his steering wheel, while completely ignoring the fact that he treats you like an afterthought. You are chasing a status symbol to flex on Instagram, completely blind to the reality that a luxury lifestyle cannot comfort you when your world is falling apart. It is time to kill the delusion.
YOU TRANSACTED YOUR DIGNITY FOR A LIFESTYLE, AND NOW YOU’RE WONDERING WHY YOUR SOUL IS COMPLETELY EMPTY!
STOP MERCHANDISING YOUR DATING LIFE.
You are aggressively hunting for a trophy to show off to your friends instead of a man to share a life with. A man with a massive bank account who ignores your existence, treats you with impatience, and shuts down emotionally is a nightmare wrapped in a designer suit. Are you so deeply insecure that you need a man’s net worth to validate your own existence? Are you pursuing a FAKE LIFE (for public, visual appearances) or a REAL LIFE (that's quiet, secure and private) with a man?
MONEY WILL NEVER HUG YOU BACK.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting an ambitious, financially secure provider. But a high-end sports car will never hold your hand after a brutal day, and a luxury watch won't dry your tears. Would you rather sleep in a mansion next to a cold stranger, or build an empire from scratch with a man who worships the ground you walk on?
AUDIT HOW HE TREATS YOU WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT.
Real character shows up when things get messy. Look at how he handles frustration, whether he actually listens to your voice, and if he shields your peace or creates your chaos. Are you actively ignoring red flags and verbal disrespect just because you're terrified of losing his financial security?
CHOOSE REAL LOVE OVER TEMPORARY CLOUT.
Stop pretending you want a long-term marriage when your actions continuously drag you into toxic, high-drama club environments. If you want a husband and a family, stop investing your prime years into emotionally unavailable men who view you as temporary entertainment. Are you intentionally choosing toxic boys because fixing your own life requires too much actual effort?
STOP DEMANDING COINS WHEN YOU BRING NO VALUE.
High-value men aren't looking to adopt an adult dependent. Before you demand a king who protects, provides, and professes his love, you better take a hard look at your own balance sheet, attitude, and emotional maturity. If a great man walked into your life today, would he find a supportive queen or just another heavy financial liability?
FINAL WORD
Throw away your superficial checklist and build a standard based on reality, respect, peace, and creating a future family legacy. Stop wanting things that look or feel impressive (in the eyes of others) versus the things that actually make love last and grow your life and heart. WAKE UP, LADIES! CHASE THE QUALITY OF THE MAN, NOT THE PRICE OF THE LIFESTYLE!

WANT TO LEARN MORE?
This article is adapted from Part One of my book, Wake Up Ladies, where I dive into today's modern dating scene. I discuss why so many men are stepping away from relationships, the impact of unrealistic expectations and rejection, and the very real difficulties men and women encounter while looking for love.
Throughout the book, I also explore where the good men have gone, what they are actually thinking, and whether women are accidentally driving potential husbands away. Most importantly, I share actionable steps women can take right now to improve their romantic futures.
Understanding the male perspective isn't about placing blame—it's about gaining the insight you need to break the cycle of frustration. By changing how you approach the dating world, you can open the door to a genuinely loving and committed relationship.
Don't leave your love life to chance. Discover what is really happening in today's dating world and what you can do about it!
