Advice

Hello again. I did laundry at my sister's house this week. I was explaining to her how Mom did not understand why I did not like a particular guy at work. I went to my parents' house the day before to get my oil changed, courtesy of Dad. My sister proceeds to tell me the reason I am not meeting Mr. Right is because I'm attracting losers. I have to make room for the right guy to come along. I'm listening, though I wish I heard such advice 10 years ago when I started college. She says I need to be more assertive with the weirdoes and be mean to shake them off. She says I'm too wimpy and too nice to people I don't like. This is a great contrast to her past advice to be the better person, be nice to mean people, and act like your feelings aren't hurt as if nothing bad happened. I see her point and perhaps try to assert more negative vibes toward Mr. Weirdo.
Then she explained how the right men like assertive women and went into how her husband said he was attracted to her because she had a business suit on to seem to be a woman who knew what she wanted. Ok, after thinking on this, I'm not so sure I want Mr. Wuss who can't asked for time off work to attend family gatherings for a husband. Now I'm confused. Men don't like aggressive women asking them out nor make more money than them, but they like assertive women who can defend themselves. I think my problem to not finding Mr. Right is Too Much Advice.
Though my sister did give some good advice on the fact that I need to get out and meet people. She mentioned volunteer work. Apparently, she knows me very well. I don't enjoy talking to people, especially groups of people. I don't even like calling to order a pizza. I can't really explain why I'm so withdrawn, maybe too many people in my face telling me what I need. I don't need to be told what my needs are. I won't be volunteering. I'm not a people person. Though I will look into joining a gym. I'll cancel my cable and internet to afford it if I must. Gyms cost money to join. If I don't find a date, I can always stare at muscular men lifting weighs. I look forward to that. Post later. Bye!
