The Sheila Diaries: Forget the Cool Girl—Be the Hot One With Standards,right? lets see…..

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what makes a woman undeniably magnetic to a man.

Not “liked.” Not “followed back.” Not “texted at 11:47pm.”
But desired. Remembered. Revered.

And here’s the kicker: it’s not the woman who molds herself into his fantasy. It’s the woman who unapologetically lives in hers.

I had a few conversations today that reminded me how often women twist themselves into emotional origami — softening their edges, hiding their standards, reshaping their dreams — all to be what they think a man will want.

We become the cool girl. The chill girl. The “not like other girls” girl.
But in the process… we stop being ourselves.

Here’s the truth that stings before it sets you free:
Men don’t fall for the performance. They fall for the pulse.

The woman who laughs loud. Who takes up space.
Who orders the drink she actually likes. Who wears red lipstick on a Monday just because.
Who doesn’t beg to be chosen — because she already chose herself.

That’s the kind of woman who lingers.
The one who isn’t performing… she’s radiating.

So if you’re single like me — don’t spiral into “How can I become what he wants?”
Ask instead: Do I even want him if I can’t be fully me?

Romance isn’t built on pretending.
It’s built on presence. And baby, when you’re fully in yours… you don’t chase. You attract.

Now tell me — what’s one thing you’ve done lately that made you feel magnetic as hell?
