VIP Class Notes (Tibo) (W)

In my opinion, it is difficult to find true love no matter you are financially independent or not.
Nowadays , women become equal to men in social status. most of women are financially independent. However this change brings another issue which increasingly women get much pickier. If a woman who is financially independent, she has her social circle，she can get anything by herself that she needs. If she meets someone , she always think about the same value and the life quality should be developed.
If a woman who is a newcomer just finished her studies. She hasn’t been financially independent. In most cases, she has to work hard at first, and then find her own social circle. If she meets someone in a hurry, she probably meets a bad guy who she doesn’t expected.
True love is rare, it doesn’t happen to everyone. No matter you are financially independent or not, If you want to find true love , you should be authentic. Think about what do you really want to get from your life. If you meet someone intentionally，you are not your true self. Learn to act and speak authentically. People are attracted to authenticity. And then, find some one who really takes his time for you.
