Guys, You’re Not The Holy Grail
Enough with the “requirements”
Have you seen the lists doing the rounds on social media? Hoo boy, talk about ego-driven. Men posting their requirements if a woman is to have any chance with them. Little Andrew here loves them, and it’s propelled his flying monkeys to imitate him ad nauseam. (And yes, in case you’re wondering, I couldn’t resist the urge to respond with “Vaccinated women everywhere give thanks” and “It seems vaccines repel more than one type of germ.” Come on. You know you would, too.)
Look, many of us have “requirements” for potential partners, even though we realise how unrealistic or just plain random those requirements can be. A good friend had the “over six feet” height requirement, yet her gorgeous partner of twenty-plus years is probably around 5'9". I married an accountant, for cryin’ out loud; no one saw that coming!
These lists not only post some of the most ridiculous specifications, but they’re a one-way street. I rarely see the same guys posting lists of what they will bring to the partnership other than the ubiquitous million-dollar salary and a fast car — which we all have at the top of our own lists, eh, girls? Screw the sense of humour, integrity, or family-loving man.
Here’s a belter posted by @ask_aubry on Threads. Can’t imagine why he’s single at fifty:
