Mav Gonzales has a meaningful message to singles this Valentine's: ‘Mabuti nang wala kesa mali’
Mav Gonzales took to Instagram to share her thoughts on being single this Valentine’s Day.
“Every time someone tells me I’m single because I have such high standards (expecting a guy to be both attractive and faithful), I internally rip my hair out,” the GMA reporter began.
Unable to hide her exasperation, Mav said she is “totally baffled” whenever someone says loyalty is a high standard. “
There is someone out there who is capable of loving you and only you. Someone who will choose you even if someone more good looking and more successful comes along.
“Someone who will never make you worry that you are not enough. Someone who will not keep you guessing what your relationship status is.”
According to Mav, common interests, humor and physical attraction are not enough. People, she said, must choose someone who can and will give you peace and inspiration.
“It took me a while, but I have realized that you are doing yourself and your partner disservice if you insist on a relationship that you know is wrong and unhealthy. Lagi ko ngang sinasabi, ‘mabuti nang wala kesa mali’.”

Why is loyalty even considered a high standard?! I am totally baffled haha Ladies and gentlemen, there is someone out there who is capable of loving you and ONLY you. Someone who will choose you even if someone more good looking and more successful comes along. Someone who will never make you worry that you are not enough. Someone who will not keep you guessing what your relationship status is.
It’s not enough that you like the same things, that he makes you laugh, or that you are physically attracted. Choose someone who will give you peace and inspiration. It took me a while, but I have realized that you are doing yourself and your partner disservice if you insist on a relationship that you know is wrong and unhealthy. Lagi ko ngang sinabi, “Mabuti nang wala kesa mali.”
So don’t feel bad if you are single today. God created us all uniquely, love stories included! But whether you’re in a relationship or not, today is the day to be extra nice and loving to others.
