Just one of those days
So I was rejected from yet another job, right now I'm working a temp job in addition to the job I already have. I am just getting so frustrated, not only can I not find a full time job, no matter how I hard I work I can't seem to lose anymore weight. Its SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING. On top of that I made the mistake of complaining about my single status to a friend of mine, which was a mistake. She said I over think things with guys, which is true, but I told her to be fair its not like I have guys knocking down my door or anything. Basically her advice was to lower my standards and not to go back to school. Yeah, no. I absolutely have a problem with a guy still living with his Mama without a legitimate reason. Meaning he's living there because he has a child to take care of, or he's helping his parents out with bills or he is in school. I'm not an intellectual snob, there isn't an educational requirement to date me. However he does have to be hardworking and have goals other than finding a girl who cooks like his Mama to take care of him, but apparently that makes me a bitch. I'm tired of people telling me I'm wrong because I won't lower my standards to date any old schmo. She also told me not to go back to school.....seriously. My goal is to initially get my Masters in Psychology and to begin counseling female solidiers who return from the war, eventually I want to get my Ph.D, but no, I, should just dumb myself down so I can get me a man, after all ladies no guy wants a gal who's too smart. All I need to know is how to iron his shirts and make his dinner.

Wow...no offense but this person doesn't sound like a very good friend. I can understand her saying that you should lower your standards about guys even though it's not something I really agree with, but to each their own. I don't understand how she could tell you not to go back to school. Does she really think there are guys out there who don't want educated women?
ReplyDeleteI think she feels threatened by the fact that I am moving on with my life, but yeah I was pissed about her telling me not to go back to school, because honestly this is the first time in my life I have felt like there is something that I really want to do in life. At this point though I'm ready to hire a guy to pretend to be my boyfriend just so people stop chiming in on my (lack of) love life.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way you should lower your standards. I agree that you need to find someone who is as driven as you obviously are, or there's no way it would work from the outset. Definitely go back to school, get your degrees, and you'll find that there are some guys who will love you for your confidence and intelligence.
ReplyDeleteGirls that dumb themselves down, don't have more important things to do, than get a guy to complete them, because apparently they don't know any better. And what's up with her telling you to not return to school? So, she's saying that you shouldn't get any study so a guy can be with you?
ReplyDeleteYou should go back to school, so you can study what you want. And be self-sufficient, wherever you are, with or without a guy.
Not to offend her, but your friend just has some weird mentality or she has too low standards.
