Clean Up Around Your Own Doorstep....


...... before you try to sweep around mine! Here is a conversation between myself and a friend about dating. (She is currently waiting for her boyfriend to get out of jail.) She was trying to give me dating advice. God help me.

Friend: You really are going to have to let go of the idea of the perfect man.

Me: I'm not looking for the perfect man, I'm just looking for the guy that will be right for me.

Friend: I just think you're going to have to lower your standards a bit.

Me: You mean like dating guys who are in jail?

Friend: Point taken.


Everybody's a critic!

I love my friends, I like my coworkers, I don't even mind well meaning people who find me refreshing and nice and want to see me happy in a relationship. However just because I'm not in a relationship doesn't mean that I'm doing something wrong and that my standards are unbelievably high, because they aren't. I don't shoot for the moon. I don't think requiring that the men I date have a job, a method of transportation, treat me with respect, respect their elders is really having too high of standards. CALL ME CRAZY!!! If so I guess I've fallen into some alternate universe.

From the "do as I say, not as I do" category of friends. Nice.

Keep your standards. You deserve it!

Everyone thinks they know what's best for everyone else. Yet, they forget to take a look at their own lives first before passing judgment. I think your conversation with your friend is the best example of that yet. Sprinkled with a bit of humor. Thanks!

This is hilarious! Everybody has got advice. Don't ever lower your personal standards or you too will be waiting on a jailbird.

Standards are made to be high! Not lowered. This isn't limbo.
