..hopping blogs, I came across a few put up by singles…mostly professionals…alone out there in big cities…mostly gals…highly educated…have done stints abroad…confident and good at their job…past 30 or approaching 40…intelligent and self-assured…multi-faceted talents…articulate…and a lil bit sensitive about their single status…
…as to be expected, their blogs are well-presented…witty and entertaining….I found them mostly to be a good read…humorous and frank..honest, even…
..as I read through their pathos and ethos..hopes and despairs..I cannot help but feel for them…it must have been hard…to be single in the city…doubting the smiles of friends and collegues..for it could very well be snide remarks and sniggers behind their back..innocent queries hurt..attempts to matchmake are like slivers of glass to the heart…a reproach to their self-esteem..
… but through it all, somehow, they managed to retain their sanity..managed to see the humour in every incidents..juggling at their career, and, of course, competing with men..and, at the same time, trying to see through them...city-slickers of the male species are masters at subterfuge..
…having once a daughter who decided to forge it out on her own in the big city some years ago, I truly feel for them…
…and so, to all those single gals out there, to borrow a phrase from a cyber friend, get your blades out…

Sometimes city gals have to project a strong image though inside they are crumbling...it's a cruel world out there and if they happen to bump into a good male specie, they must count their blessings! But the good ones are outnumbered by the bad ones. I have a four-year old daughter...I can imagine her having to overcome all sorts of challenges... she must fly the nest one day and i hope she gets to really fly but with her feet planted on the ground!
