Rules
I went to lunch with some of my co-workers today and over lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang's, my single friend shared some of the rules that she has adopted in her dating life.1) Her first initial is P, her middle is M, and therefore, she refuses to marry a man whose last name begins with S. At first, I was puzzled until she explained that she would not, nor could not, live with a monogram of PMS.
2) She believes women should move up in the alphabet when they marry and take their husband's last name. As her last name begins with a "M", she is currently seeking out men in the A-L bracket.
3) She does not want to marry a man with bad debt. She is okay with good debt as she is a lawyer with a fair amount of law school loans. But she draws the line at bad debt. Which lead us to debate the distinction between bad and good debt. Is it the amount of debt that concerns her? Because that would knock out quite a few attorneys, doctors, and others who went to expensive schools. Or is the focus on the nature of debt? As in a guy shows up at your door looking for your husband, slamming his fists together and talking about taking your husband for a ride? After much clarification, we settled on education/property debt: good. Gambling/possible Mob connected debt: bad.
Rules to live by, my friends.
