I am in my early 30s, divorced and no kids, yet I still cannot figure out this thing call life. Traditionally, by now I should be married with 2 kids and lives in the suburb in a house with white picket fences. Instead, I am a career woman, live alone, with a fabulous single life in a beautiful city where the party never stops by the beach. For the most part, I love my life, yet the society expectations stress sprung upon me and then I feel like I should be hooked up and have kids. Then I thought to myself, who am I kidding? I am not ready to be tie down, settle for some guy, have kids, and move to the suburb and live in cookie cutter house…which I think I might get sick thinking about that.
My life consists of my sales job, travel, shopping, and my fabulous single female friends to attend all the great events around the city, and everything else in between. I am taking a break from men right now, I guess for me it’s the end of innocent since I finally realized that men do lie and cheat. I used to be a romantic you can say, so I’m a little cynical now.
I have some amazing single female friends, yet they are all single. Let’s start with my friend, S, she is the serial dater in her late thirties, and her reason for being single is that she has not met anyone she can see herself being married to. My other friend, J, she is in her 40s and single since she is not going to settle just for any guy. All of us decided that we are just going to enjoy life to the fullest and have fun.
Another reason that most women are single today because we make our own money, and we do not need to get marry for the financial needs. I know there are men out there that claims that do not mind that their women make more money than them, deep down inside it bothers them. I am speaking from my own experience. I know there are a few men out there that can handle it, yet very far in between.
Men today do not have to get marry, why should they have to if there are so many women out there that are willing to give them sex with no work involve. Relationship takes a lot of work, most people rather not do the work, for it is too much of a hassle of today’s high life demands.
I have to admit living alone I do learn a lot about myself, and I have a lot more times for my hobbies. It is nice and peaceful, yet no drama or someone to annoy you. I figure this is a great journey having a relationship with myself, for it is a lot harder than I thought and very exciting as well. Here to me dating me, and I am happy about it.
