The Importance of Personal Moral

So, Buzzfeed posted an article about this 1930's 'Single Girls Guide'.

Now, they joked about most of it, but there were several good points that it made. My favorite was this....

Keeping your moral up.

Old fashioned wording aside, its a great point. All too often, we singles are looked down upon as 'unhappy with our lives', even when we're not. But, that doesn't matter to them. We're sad little people who don't have partners and offspring.

And with that, this book encourages the reader to do things that will keep you upbeat and happy. Don't eat a late night snack in the kitchen. Try and set up a tray or something, so you can eat in by a window or just try and sit up at a table to not be 'that lonely person'.

One should also try to go to bed in nice pajama's, feeling and looking good. Also smelling good.

Keep your wardrobe in good order and strive to make yourself presentable at all times. When we dress down, we often feel down.

Now, I know these aren't always doable and there are some dated ideas. But at the same time, I loved how it focused on building yourself up and being positive about your life.

What I Want...

I think I've figured out part of what I'm looking for in a guy, and why its so hard for me.

We all hear about how romance novels and fairy tales have ruined our expectations on men. And, I enjoy a good romance novel or fairy tale... But, those aren't the kinda guys I look for.  They're too perfect, to 'Oh, I caught me the uncatchable guy'.

No, I want a guy like... Philip Marlow, Mal Reynolds, Harry Dresden... The good hearted, hard boiled, teddy bear fighter.

The man whose flaws are obvious, who makes mistakes, but learns from them. He's not against being caught, and he'll be yours for life...

In some ways, what I want may be even harder to find in reality.  Which explains my singleness [if you don't count my three BFF's, who are almost like having three wives... Without the good stuff.]

Oh well, if it's meant to happen, it'll happen. Some day.
