Little sister it’s nice to see you again. How is college going? That’s great. What is your major? Oh, that’s OK I guess, but you may have some trouble in the workforce with that degree.
What?
I know, that’s a little bit on the brutally honest side. But you know me, I hate lying. It’s a curse and a blessing. At least you know where I stand on things and don’t have to keep on guessing.
By the way, how are things going with your love life?
I know I shouldn’t ask, but you are my little sister and I do want to look out for you. It’s a pretty harsh world out there and I want to be sure that you find someone who will treat you with the respect and dignity that you desire.
Not good, huh? Well, don’t worry too much about that. I know that it seems like you should settle down, and it certainly would be to your benefit in many ways, being single is not a bad lifestyle either. You can focus your energies on many other things when you are single.
Oh I know all about your roommate. Every time I visit you she’s with another guy. Does that bother you?
I suppose it would considering that you were bothered by my mentioning of the possibility of being single. I know she’s really successful with the guys, but I doubt you’re having a good time of living with her. How many guys has she slept with anyway?
That many? Well, that’s very industrious of her. Little sister, I know that you probably feel inadequate or a romantic failure, but I can assure that the opposite is true. Sure, you aren’t as attractive as her, but you also aren’t willing to put out as much as her either.
And there lies your advantage little sister. As long as you are a virtuous woman, you will have a much greater chance for a long-lasting and secure relationship. This seems a bit outdated, but in the real world, not the world that our entertainment industry portrays, this is practically a natural law. Women who are promiscuous will always end their lives unhappy in the end. The dirty little secret is that the crazy cat lady use to be the town slut.
As a man, I know what men want. When we are seeking out a quick fling, we are looking for a slut. When we are looking for long-term relations, we want women who are virtuous because we know they will stay devoted to us. It’s a bit selfish, I know, but that is how it is. Right now, you roommate is devaluing her attractiveness for long-term relationship investing.
It’s an interesting observation, though. Men want sluts for flings, but virgins for marriage. This means that in order to secure successful marriage partners, men will have to refrain from sex themselves in order to not contribute to the decline in supply.
There I go, analyzing the situation again. Look, you’re doing fine little sister. I’ve always said that those Prince Charming stories were utter crap because they never pointed out the true reality of the situation.
Whether you do get married or you don’t is not something I would fret over. You don’t need a man to validate who you are and you don’t need him to assure you that you are beautiful.
Besides, you allergic to cats, so I don’t think you’ll become the crazy cat lady anyway.
