I've been wondering if "The wife hunt" is as daunting a task for men as it is for women. Here in Atlanta the ratio of women to men is astronomical. There is no doubt that unless you are in a strip club or some male sports bar, you will be outnumbered at least 20 to 1 female to male. For the single gal in the metro Atlanta dating scene, finding a guy can seem like a never ending task of picking a needle out of a hay stack. Some say that you never find anyone when you are looking and that once you stop looking, one is sure to come. I agree with that to some extent but I'd like to clarify. The process of 'not looking' is more of a self reflection period, when looking within instead of outward for your happiness. Once you become so engrossed with finding yourself and bringing your life full circle others will begin to see and become attracted to that which radiates from within.
Women often worry about their age and marital status, as somehow it has become ingrained in our heads that men only want women under 30. Do men feel a rush to the altar after reaching a certain age like we do? Speaking of men, perhaps you find yourself in your late 20s and many of your friends are married. You go to wedding after wedding and, of course, your friends' wives come up to you and say: "When are you going to get married?" This can be one of the most challenging periods of adult adolescence. You go to your first dinner party, and most of your friends -- the ones who used to go out drinking with you a few years ago -- are married and looking at you as the lone, single guy. You're like the Lone Ranger, standing around all by yourself. No one wants to be that old head in the tight leather pants macking on chicks half his age that we all have laughed at in the club. Your own mother and grandmother might gang up on you, and say: "When are you finally going to meet someone and settle down? We need grandchildren." It's almost like the full-court press. Your mom, girlfriend and female friends all probing you with marital and procreation questions of when, why, and how.
How are you going to find that woman with whom to settle down? Do you still frequent all the singles social places you once did to find a woman that wants the white picket fence? Do you surf the aisles of the grocer looking for the hot woman buying milk & eggs or do you ask for a hook up from your newly wed friends? The wife hunt is a scary prospect because what you're really doing is looking for somebody who’ll go to that dinner party with you, so that you no longer have to go to those dinner parties alone.
If you go on a wife hunt in the wrong way, you might accept whomever comes your way; and, ultimately, you are not going to get exactly who you want. Marriage is a really serious commitment, so you need to be conscientious before you make that step. You need to find someone who shares the same beliefs and interests. You need to find someone who can teach you things and help you grow as a person.
If you are still single and hoping to get hitched but "You just haven't met the right person yet." Would you be interested in attending an event geared toward single men and women who are actively seeking serious relationships? Nothing stuffy, pretentious or intimidating like speed dating but something in a more relaxed and casual environment. I'm hoping to possibly introduce you to someone very special. Wouldn't you like to meet someone amazing, has similar interests, interesting conversation and like minded?
Let me know and stay tuned for the details. Event coming soon to a venue near you ♥
