SEX AND THE MOTHER CITY -- Searching for Mr Right (In stealth mode)

Have you ever found yourself sitting on a plane and trying to hide the heading of the article you're reading?

Actually bending the top corner of the page so the guy in the isle behind you can't see that you are doing tabloid research on how to find 'Mr Right.'

WTF??

When did being an independent, successful woman equate to having to deny looking for a loving relationship? When did the following become our auto-response? "Me, looking for a relationship?Are you freakin' kidding me?"

This is fast becoming the female mantra. When did shrill and bitchy become our tagline? And more importantly, how many of us actually believe this when we hear it coming out of our own mouths at a dinner party? we've made isolating the opposite sex a multi-national past time over the last few years.

Let's take a chill pill girls; Wanting something is not the same as waving the white flag of surrender. In fact, feminine charm is a far deadlier weapon in the war of the sexes.

But let's put our weapons down for now, put that shoe on the other foot and ask ourselves "How would we feel if the men suddenly burned their boxers and claimed that they no longer had any use for us?"

Not so invigorating when the Louboutin is cradling some other toes?

Saying that you want someone, or even need someone should not be a show of weakness. It's a show of courage and being secure in who you are. Stand up; say what you wanna say.

If he reacts badly, that's his problem... (you can always send out the female distress call and we'll all go nuclear on his ass)
