Being Single = Being an Alien?

If your friends are single, rejoice in their happiness! Leave them be! Why does this bother the doubles, i.e. the couples? They seem hell bent on setting up their single friends/relatives with 'so-called' eligible partners.

While their actions might be well meaning, their choices are appalling! They believe they know who/what might be best for their single friends, completely disregarding that people can think for themselves! They go into overdrive foisting their opinions and 'wise' counsel on others.

Probably a way of living vicariously through the lives of others.

If only they were in a similar situation of 'pick-and-choose'. Would their lives have been different today? For all their good intentions, they only seem to promote utter losers and defend them as well as their stance till kingdom come!

The arguments in favor vary from:

-- So what if he appears reserved, he makes a lot of money!
-- So what if he's conservative, he lives abroad!
-- So what if he appears less than sophisticated, you can change him!

...and so on and so forth! Whatever! Do-gooders, spare me your "concern" and concentrate on saving yourself from the curses and witch-craft spells I'm casting upon you! The pot with the magic potion is boiling, bubbling, and frothing over with bat wings and spider legs and creepy crawly roaches--all getting done nice and rare just for you.

Dinner will be served soon. Bon Apetite!!! Grrrr....!

And what... let them not have the evil satisfaction of showing pity on u... How can you do that to them? - their lone source of joy while they are suffering with their partners...

Yeah this favor does not go well all the time. They do it most when one has become newly single. Sometimes this favor borders 'patronising' attitude.

Why not just scare one guy off and let him spread the word? :D

Hey single is fun - pregnant (oops wrong word?) with possibilities and anticipation. Enjoy it. The problem is that ideal singledom (the one that alternates with being a couple, for restricted periods of time, and on YOUR terms) is difficult to achieve.

But hey, if you can manage to do that, more power to you. :)

#Shek,
What's with the bollywood dialogues?! And pls don't generalise...this wasn't an anti-men rant, so don't you dare turn this into a feminist fight on my blog! :P

#Libran,
Yeah right. That IS my higher purpose in life after all. But boy, does it feel good not to be in their whining sorry shoes! :D

#Neihal,
HUH?? I'm completely lost...didn't get your comment at all :P

#Satya,
They just can't help being plain annoying. No power to them! :P

#Black King,
Finally someone comes along with a really good suggestion! :D

#Neihal,
Now this comment I understood and loved :D

#Shan,
Single and ready to mingle is fun, no doubt :D But so is being a couple :-)

I'm saying I don't need help of the pushy annoying variety from nosey so-called relatives and friends :-)

#Ferret,
You took the words right outta my mouth! :D

Was outta town, back in action now :-)
