the wisdom of SATC

that's sex and the city. i love the show. starting all over again watching season 1. PLU's could definitely empathize with, nay, internalize, the characters of the show. the topics, the dilemmas they face are just so bading.

there's the episode on why there are a lot of great unmarried women. its like reading an mgg post (apologies, miggs), with all the comments. according to the guys, the women either become too desperate (and clingy) or they have these unbelievably high standards (brad pitt, matt damon). according to the girls, guys easily become threatened by successful women. and besides most of the available guys are simply self-centered assholes.

now to me, i just change all the men, women, guys, girls to gays and voila! it sounds strangely familiar!

there are a lot of great single PLU's out there, super-successful in their careers, nice, decent people. yet they remain single. some of them have the choicest dates (basketball player, actor, lawyer) yet they havent settled down. some really have these high, high standards for the Right One. it has to be all of the above, with a sincere heart (and doesnt chat). some just become too desperate they turn off dates right away. and some are just too self-centered to care for another.

makes sense? maybe not a 100% fit but makes you think...

Maybe they go by the mantra: collect and collect, then select. In the end the just forget to select. :)

And then there are great single PEOPLE (not just PLUs) out there who are successful yet they don't feel the need to be "partnered" to have a sense of fulfillment in their lives. People who are not self-centered, who have decided to devote their lives to helping others, making this world a better place, etc without getting married or "settling down".

I think the term of "settling down" is prejudiced against those who, whether by choice or by circumstance, remain single, as if being un-partnered means one cannot be "settled".
