The majority of my clients in the salon were women, of course, so there have been countless numbers of conversations on the topic of why are men passing up good women. I don't think it really matters what ethnicity a woman is because when she is looking and feeling good about herself and her sexuality you can't tell her anything! She may have gone out of her way to color those roots, pluck those eyebrows, shave areas the sun don't shine or other things to get ready to attract a man.

It's doing something over and over again until you perfect it enough that you win because you never quit. Men, I have to congratulate you on your diligence and perseverance in dealing
