The festive season is here and many people seek companionship. Isn’t that why people seek each other - to gain companionship, have a meaningful relationship, fall in love and live happily ever after?
And yet, that is what many people, mostly women, can’t achieve.
The fact is, true or false, fact or fiction, parody or satire, there are women who just can’t find anybody. They are destined to live their lives in emotional stasis, a sort of loveless hibernation, a cold passionless coma, bereft of male companionship, desperate for love.
The fact that so many successful professional women choose to write about finding romance and using the medium of the Internet via those dating sites is perhaps an indictment on other women. Truth be told, there are some women who will never land a man, and even if they do manage to snare one, he’ll quickly wriggle out of her grasp and seek freedom. Desperate women do not make great companions.
LUCK
No man wants to know that a woman has been on the shelf for so long that she now has to look for a man online. This online dating phenomenon has roared through the romantic ravines like a tsunami and the makers are making millions from desperate people.
I remember this lady whose cyber search took her from America to Africa, Dunkirk to Denmark, Trinidad to Timbuktu, Zaire to New Zealand, until she finally ended up in Alaska with an Inuit man.
Why is it so difficult for these women to find romance? It’s not about looks either, for there are many beautiful women who are living in no man’s land.
Is it about attitude, being too picky, abrasive personality, too bossy, lacking in sex appeal, miserable? Who knows? So some women keep flitting from one sour relationship to the next, always blaming men.
“Oh, he couldn’t handle a strong woman like me.”
“He just wasn’t my type.”
So they search in vain.
