So… Its been a while… I’ve honestly been at a bit of a loss of what else could be said regarding the whole tragic car crash that is single life.
The joy of living in a digital age is that we have the world in our pocket within the confines of our phones. The juxtaposition of being far more connected with others in an instant yet so disconnected with reality is somewhat unsettling for me. The act of selecting a future partner has evolved into some strange game of bingo where a swipe to the right could equate to a partner for life… or more likely an awkward scramble of things to talk about.
Regardless of the ‘advancements’ in technology it still seems that we are not far removed from the scenes of a wildlife documentary.
The rudimentary principles of courtship are somewhat similar In the physical plane of existence, like a nightclub for example. We begin with men vying for attention whilst women scan the environment for the ‘alpha’ male. Once eye contact is engaged, he puffs out his chest and proceeds in the mating dance, if successful she will dance with him showing her interest by rubbing her posterior against his groin ( and throwing in the odd “slut drop” here and there). Upon completion of this majestic ritual, the male squires her to the nearest watering hole (the bar) where they lap at the sweet taste of success. the rest shall we say is where nature takes it course.
I would love to know what gives men this confidence, perhaps a fountain of beer ( or any other alcoholic beverage for that matter), but alas regardless of the quantity I consume I repeatedly fail in my endeavour to obtain this elixir of infinite confidence.
I have begun to grow tired of peoples attempts to quell my disdain for single life, in particular the phrase “Don’t fret you are still young” … yes and I grow older with each passing day. Besides its easy to make such a statement as you sit on your throne of happiness, whimsically telling the poorer of us how great it is to be single, before retiring to your chambers with your significant other.
So I sign off this rant with a final thought…
