Single Girls: The (sometimes scary) reality By Amanda Willis
Have you ever seen the series, sex in the city? Well, how many women do you think actually lead that kind of life? I can tell you for certain, I don't, and while I'm sure there are a few women out there who probably do and love their lives, the majority of us single girls don't have the luxury of taking the city by storm and making our social mark.
The fact is, depending on your culture, how you were raised and what your own ethical and moral principles are, each of us single girls have different wants, desires and needs that dictate our own personal choices.
In today's world, a single woman has to be careful of what she does, where she goes and who she associates with. We have all heard that women travel in packs and at some point or another, some guy will invariably ruminate on why it is that women never seem go to the bathroom by themselves. Well, if you're a single girl, you know the answer to that question. It's safety, a woman can never be too careful, and, ok, I'll admit it, we always need someone to hold the door open so we don't have to touch the handle after we've washed our hands.
Seriously though, what are the realities of being single in today's society? We're hyper conscious of our body image, we fear being lonely and being labeled an old maid, we get those condescending looks from our married friends that seem to imply that we can't be happy unless we're married and 'settled' and worst of them all, we seem to be the target of every cheek pinching, blue haired, little old lady at weddings who have one thought amongst them. How many times have I heard, 'When are you getting married dear?' accompanied with a cheek bruising grip that seems to say, 'get married or I'll rip your face off'. Oh the humanity!
I can't speak for all the single girls out there but I can speak for me, and I am actually very happy with my life. The reality is, that we're all different and yes, I would like to have a family someday, but I am not going to settle for just any guy just because I'm getting older and the pressure is being applied. It's like they warned us in school, just say no to peer pressure⦠Mom pressure is a bit different but, to all you single girls out there, live your lives, chase your happiness and do what's right for you and if mom says, 'I gave you life , now I want grandbabies,' then just tell her, 'Yes mother, you gave me life, now please let me live it.' Stay true to what makes you happy and good luck girls, although, I don't think you'll need it.
