BAKIT NGA BA AKO SINGLE????

Many twenty something girls out there are asking:
Why am I still single? Im sure every other
girl/woman/lady asks the same question. Pare-
pareho
tayo ng litanya: Im smart, Im not completely
unfortunate looking, Im funny and Im willing to
commit but WHY AM I STILL SINGLE? Well,
instead
of going crazy asking myself that question, I
decided
to come up with a few answers. Im not saying Im
drop dead gorgeous and as smart as Marie Curie
but
come on, every guy Ive talked to told me they want
a
smart, witty, sensitive and attractive girlfriend. Im
sure all the other ladies my age possess these
qualities and at the risk of being redundant, we all
ask
ourselves: Why are we still single? Allow me to
present the top three theories that sprung from my
demented mind:
1. Naghihirap ang bansa natin at bumabagsak ang
ekonomiya. Hindi naman kasi ganun kadali
humanap
ng trabaho ngayon di ba? Nagtitipid ang mga lalaki
dahil mahal na ang bilihin ngayon. Sa panliligaw
palang, kahit sa Dangwa ka bumili ng bulaklak,
magkano na ang gagastusin mo. Isipin mo pa ang
pang-gasolina or pamasahe papunta doon at ang
katakot-takot na traffic. Eh di sana, ipinang-lunch
na
nila yun hindi ba?

Tapos siyempre dahil kailangan magmukha silang
concerned, kailangan lagi nilang tinatawagan at
pinapadalhan ng text messages ang nililigawan
nila.
Isipin niyo nalang yung load na nagagastos nila or
yung binabayaran nila sa bill ng telepono. Minsan,
demanding pa tayong mga babae dahil gusto natin
imported na chocolates or flowers na mamahalin.
Kung hindi naman tayo demanding, gusto lang
talaga
nila magpa-impress kaya mamahalin ang ibibigay
na
mga regalo/suhol sa nililigawan.

Siyempre, pag naging kayo na, magastos parin.
Because of the infamous male ego and pride, hindi
pwedeng sagot ni babae ang date kaya si lalaki
parin
ang magbabayad. Kahit KKB, gagastos parin si
lalaki.
Sayang ang pera. Even if you love each other that
much, love wont pay for the movies you know. And
think of the gifts. Every Christmas, birthday,
Valentines Day, Anniversary, etc., you have to give
your significant other something. Especially pag
Christmas kasi sisipsip pa sa magulang, kapatid,
pinsan, etc. ng girlfriend/nililigawan at bibigyan sila
lahat ni boyfriend/manliligaw ng regalo. Mahirap
kumita ngayon dahil mataas ang unemployment
rate,
mahal ang bilihin at likas na kuripot ang mga lalaki.
Hence, females like me have no boyfriends.

2. May mga babaeng perfectionist. Admit it, every
female is looking for the perfect man. Apparently,
the
perfect man does not exist yet. What are the
qualities we look for in a man? Gwapo, may kaya,
responsible, mature, sensitive, funny, smart,
presentable, gentleman the list is endless. We
have
to face the fact that the perfect man doesnt exist
kasi
its practically impossible to find all these qualities
in
one man. If we ever do, the guy is gay, a priest or
married! No, Im not saying that we have to settle
for
second best but maybe, just maybe, the perfect
guy
is out there, we just have to lower the standard a
notch. He might not be perfect in every way but his
flaws just might be the very reason that you will
love
him. Kasi yung imperfections niya ang reason why
he
might need the person made for him for that person
to be the one to pick him up when his flaws take
him
down. Im not sure if that made sense but I do hope
you get the point.

3. The last great theory (and the most likely) of my
demented mind is that there are more males born
than
females every minute of the day. I dont know what
the ratio is now but a couple of years back it was 4
females to one male. Can you believe that?
Imagine
sharing one boyfriend with three others. Plus you
have to face the fact that maybe that one male
wants
to be a female. Or that one male devotes himself to
God. Siyempre, hindi mo kakaribalin ang Diyos di
ba? Or that one male is married. Would any female
want to play second fiddle? I know I wouldnt.

Patience is a virtue, thats my mantra. The theories
I
made up are just there to console me whenever I
feel
Im missing out on something kasi Im single. Case
in
point: Valentines Day or weddings or family
gatherings na hinahanapan ako ng boyfriend. Hes
out there somewhere, the boyfriend that at the
moment is missing in action. While hes not there
yet,
enjoy being single. Sabi nga ng iba, wala pa
tayong
sakit ng ulo and pag gigimmick, sa parents lang
tayo
magpapaalam at walang message na biglang
darating
from a boyfriend asking us where we are, who were
with and what time tayo uuwi (daig pa ang tatay
ko!).
The perfect guy for me will come along when Im not
looking for it. And when he does, Im sure
everything
will be worth the wait.
