So I had an interesting conversation with a coworker today, I'm not sure how it started, but I made a comment about how I just wasn't that interested in getting married, being married, being a wife etc. She seemed shocked. I said I had no (theoretical) problem living with a guy, but as far as getting married I could take or leave it. It just isn't a goal I aspire to. If someone one day asks, I may say yes, but it will most assuredly be a Vegas affair. Nothing to stuffy or serious. Life is kind of a huge cosmic joke anyway.
I also read the article below titled "The Deficient Single Woman"
http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2011/08/30/the-deficient-single-woman/
I found it interesting because she talks about how being a single woman is basically viewed as a handicap, and if you are single OF COURSE you MUST be looking for a husband. She also describes how at weddings they round up the single women to "catch the bouquet" and how its nearly impossible to refuse because people treat you like an alien. I always find that a polite "fuck off" does me well when trying to get out of nonsense like that.
a polite "fuck off", that's a good one! I hate when at weddings they say to me "go! you are single! don't be shy!!" then all eyes on me, geez! I don't care about a stupid bouquet, most likely it will end up in the trash all lifeless anyway. My problem is how to politely say 'fuck off'. You should write some ideas, :)
ReplyDeleteWell the last wedding I was at, I jokingly said I was already married har har har. But the bridesmaid(a good friend) made the dj call my name, so I am currently plotting my revenge on her :)I tried not to be too pissed, bc the bride is super nice and her family is too. I am going to another wedding in a couple months,so I hopefully I can do a better job at deflecting such nonsense.
