Desperate measures
There has been a documentary on BBC about a 37 year old girl/lady/spinster/woman who is single and very keen on getting married. We all know, if you don’t go out to meet people, you will not meet mr right. So the girl sets out to find her prince charming. In the beginning she had this long list of somewhat twisted things she expected from her husband-to-be. Mark you she was not just looking for a boyfriend, she was looking for a man to marry. When you are selling beans, let the whole world know – by advertising; and advertising she did.
First thing was to hook up with as many men as she could. In 70 days she had gone out with 55 men. Wasn’t that exhausting? Going almost every night – drinking partying movies dinner etc. Goodness! Don’t you get tired of the dates? Each night with another dude? Energetic woman. According to her friend, a *dating expert* a girl meets (not just give the eye etc-seriously meeting, go out on a date etc) an average of 480 men before finding the one man whose right for her. I must say i was astounded. Those of you out there who are married/in relationships...did you go out with that many men till you eventually found HIM? i think not.
One time she went to a wedding dress store to try on some dresses, was photographed in one of them and had this gigantic poster made out of that pic! Then she hired a lorry stuck her poster on it and went around town in the lorry to recruit marriageables! I must say I was amazed; how desperate are you to put yourself through all that?! She even asked a stranger on the street what he thinks about it – the dude said (out of courtesy I suppose) “oh, it’s a brilliant idea (the expression on his face said something else though!), but it is a little bit too way over the top – for me”. Poor dude.
That was just one of the few weird things she did in her quest to conquer mr husband. Sad thing is, she did not get a man to marry her at the end of it all – though there were 3-4 suitable partners that she was going to consider dating one of them seriously. One of them even told her that whatever she is doing is not so magnificent – going out each and every other night with different men. How would she feel if she had the hots for a guy and she was number three on his list of women he was seeing? Chick had no answer.
