Why I Am Still Single: Part 1By Robyn Simpson [Singled Out]

 The subconscious scenario is where things start to become unfair for women. A single woman actively seeking a man is often described as desperate and many advice-happy gurus are eager to point out that desperation scares men off. So what is the alternative? To cultivate your life, without a man. The workaholic may just be working on her next promotion. And what’s wrong with owning a few cats if they really make you happy? It’s about creating the life you want. That is, until some new age, take-charge “expert” comes along and says that the things we fill our lives with are actually our ways of blocking out intimacy and then accuses us of being afraid of men or being control freaks or having abnormally long toenails. But then, when I stop and think about it, I realize that they could actually be on to something. I am incredibly intimidated by the men I find attractive, so I often ogle them from afar and end up settling for guys that, in my heart, I know I could do better than. That’s Great…But How Do I Answer That Question? Be patient with the people who ask about your single status. Recognize that it’s a compliment, in a weird way. If they are asking, they see you as someone worthy of dating and therefore wonder why you aren’t with someone. Keep your answer short and sweet. You can also reply with a joking question of whether the person asking knows anyone suitable (hey, you never know…) and then change the topic. |
