Do you regularly find yourself settling for less than you deserve in the dating/relationship department because you think it’s all you can get? Are you convinced there are no good single people left? Ladies, are you obsessed with your biological clock and believe that time is running out on your chance to get married and/or have a baby?

If so, then you may suffer from the Scarcity Trap.

Recently, I blogged about 5 common dating traps. The Scarcity Trap is the sixth trap.

The Scarcity Trap thrives on fear. Its very existence relies on your insecurities about age, marriage, babies, and the notorious biological clock. The Scarcity Trap convinces you there is a limited supply of decent men and/or women in the world and you better just take what you can get while the gettin’s good.

Well guess what? I’m here to tell you it’s just not true. I’m here to liberate you from your Scarcity Trap and tell you that time is not running out on your chance for happiness, nor have all the good ones been snatched up, leaving nothing but losers for you and the other singles to fight over.

Truth: The notion that single men or women are scarce is just preposterous. There is no need to settle. There is only a need to tweak your thinking, break free of the Scarcity Trap, and welcome real and authentic love into your life. You can do this by breaking free of your bad love habits and limiting relationship beliefs. Let me show you how!

And P.S. – Men and women get married and have children well into their 40s and even 50s. Plus, adoption and surrogacy are realistic alternatives to pregnancy for women, should you want to have a child after your childbearing years wane.
