Brunch the other day. Vicious gossip with Maggie about a guy she’d just met, one more of her disastrous date. “You see Charlotte, I really liked the guy but in the end they are all the same… All they want is sex” she said. Maggie is thirty nine years old and we all know that for a woman being single with no kids and no divorce at this age only means one thing for men: trouble. We also all know that for men trouble girls lead to steamy sex but nothing more. Serious men don’t want to get attached to someone who seems too instable to settle down. This is not about statistics and there is no exception. Maggie had understood that since a long time and as young as she was trying to look, her real age would always betray her. She can go to the nicest hotels and the fanciest parties but she will never get nothing else then one night stands. How do you get to that disturbing point where you can’t find a proper date anymore? When is it too late to find a husband? As I was talking to Maggie about her miserable relationship situation I was wondering; should we hang on to what we have right now just to be safe? Is security better than passion? That morning Maggie was so messed up that she almost cried. Now I am sure, I am choosing security over passion.
Later on I was talking with Patrick, a lawyer in his early thirties. I explained him Maggie’s problems hoping that a man’s advice would help me understand. “There is nothing wrong with these women” he said. So I asked. “Why is there so many great women who aren’t married, and no great guys then?” Patrick answered “Because unmarried guys suck!”.
