Men and the 20 something girls

Women in their 30s are increasingly finding it difficult to find Men, who are dwindling in numbers, as we move from age box to age box. So where are all the men? The men are either dead, married, gay or chasing some 20 year old.

Women in their 30s are constantly in competition with girls in their 20s. Men are drawn to girls in their 20s so women in their 30s end up with 'old maid' or spinster'. Pity parties, the 'don't worry, you will find someone' looks, weddings and baby showers just drive us women in their 30s miserable. Now the Government is not helping either. To be eligible for the Special Tax Rebate (STR) for the second child, the mother must not exceed age 31! Ok , so I can give up any hope of getting any STR. Now that just diminishes my target market, doesn't it? The STR of SGD$20,000 goes to mothers below age 28! Men, being practical creatures, chase girls in their 20s. If these do not drive you nuts, what will?

Perhaps Women in their 30s are more knowledgeable and rational than girls in their 20s. They intimidate Men. Perhaps men feel inadequate. Therefore, they like girls in their 20s because they show more insecurity and are more unpredictable. Women between age 30 to 35 should always balance their optimism in love with pessimism. At this rate, I can imagine a bus load of single unmarried Spinsters traveling together and sharing the same accommodation. When the Government allows singles aged 35 and above to purchase flats, since Government policies are backed by statistics, you know that men do not find women above age 35 attractive. That is the critical point of spinsterhood and women 36 and above should only be pessimistic about love.

I asked Zen about my beliefs and he did not deny it! So what hope is there for me or for any woman in her 30s or worse, 36? Men look for freedom, relief and peace in a relationship. Are we women in our 30s a more stressful option compared to our 20 year old counterparts? Go figure. When Zen told me that he does not disagree that men do chase girls in their 20s rather than women in their 30s, that coming from him is almost as disturbing as the news itself. That would mean, if men were not chasing girls in their 20s, they have to be gay. Otherwise, he is wierd or very unspecial. So maybe now instead of looking for special guys, I should be asking friends to introduce me to 'unspecial guys'? Women in your 30s, have you ever thought of that? Next time, if you come across a special guy just give it a pass, and if an unspecial guy comes along, go for the date. You may succeed because the 20 year old girls are not interested. They are still hung up on special guys.

In conclusion, I think I am done with love. It ain't going to happen. Dido, if you ever get to see this, DIG this.

SONG: WHITEFLAG

I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP
I WILL PUT MY HANDS UP AND SURRENDER
THERE WILL BE A WHITE FLAG HANGING ON MY DOOR
I'M NOT IN LOVE, AND ALWAYS WON'T BE!
