1055 HRS JUNE 19TH 2007

I've been doing a little

of introspection,

for some reason

for the first time

in a long time

18 years to be exact,

I am actually truly

enjoying singlehood.

Not so much

that I am bent on

being a life long bachelor.

I'm just dead tired

of giving my all

to a woman.

And it is always

not good enough.

Not that I want

to evade

the responsibilities

of protecting

and providing

for a family,

I actually think

that it makes living

meaningful and worthwhile,

I'm just beginning to conclude

that most women

I meet

are not worth marrying

anyway.

Its not that I am searching

for a Zhang ZiYi

to marry,

just that I am surrounded

by money grabbing gold digging bitches,

or angmor cock sucking sluts,

or plainly uninteresting.

Not that I do not want

to share my life

and all that I worked for

with a woman,

just that I find

modern women's emphasis

on love and chemistry

a fantasy derived directly

from girly romantic novels.

Such love,

which I interprete as passion,

and chemistry,

lasts a few minutes

to a few months,

hardly years

or a life time.

I rather they look for

intelligence,

strong set of value systems,

apptitude, attitude, respect,

loving kindness,

attributes that can secure

a life long partnership

and commitment

for a family life

to flourish.

Given our local

Women's Charter

and the quality of women

I meet,

I can't help but think of

bachelorhood

as Liberation for Men.
