Theories on Why I Don't Have A Boyfriend
by: batgirl95

Many twenty something girls out there are asking: Why am I still single? I'm sure every other girl/woman/lady asks the same question. Pare-pareho tayo ng litanya: �I�m smart, I�m not completely unfortunate looking, I�m funny and I�m willing to commit but WHY AM I STILL SINGLE?� Well, instead of going crazy asking myself that question, I decided to come up with a few answers.
Many twenty something girls out there are asking: Why am I still single? I�m sure every other girl/woman/lady asks the same question. Pare-pareho tayo ng litanya: �I�m smart, I�m not completely unfortunate looking, I�m funny and I�m willing to commit but WHY AM I STILL SINGLE?� Well, instead of going crazy asking myself that question, I decided to come up with a few answers. I�m not saying I�m drop dead gorgeous and as smart as Marie Curie but come on, every guy I�ve talked to told me they want a smart, witty, sensitive and attractive girlfriend. I�m sure all the other ladies my age possess these qualities and at the risk of being redundant, we all ask ourselves: Why are we still single? Allow me to present the top three theories that sprung from my demented mind:

1. Naghihirap ang bansa natin at bumabagsak ang ekonomiya. Hindi naman kasi ganun kadali humanap ng trabaho ngayon di ba? Nagtitipid ang mga lalaki dahil mahal na ang bilihin ngayon. Sa panliligaw palang, kahit sa Dangwa ka bumili ng bulaklak, magkano na ang gagastusin mo. Isipin mo pa ang pang-gasolina or pamasahe papunta doon at ang katakot-takot na traffic. Eh di sana, ipinang-lunch na nila yun hindi ba?

Tapos siyempre dahil kailangan magmukha silang concerned, kailangan lagi nilang tinatawagan at pinapadalhan ng text messages ang nililigawan nila. Isipin niyo nalang yung load na nagagastos nila or yung binabayaran nila sa bill ng telepono. Minsan, demanding pa tayong mga babae dahil gusto natin imported na chocolates or flowers na mamahalin. Kung hindi naman tayo demanding, gusto lang talaga nila magpa-impress kaya mamahalin ang ibibigay na mga regalo/suhol sa nililigawan.

Siyempre, pag naging kayo na, magastos parin. Because of the infamous male ego and pride, hindi pwedeng sagot ni babae ang date kaya si lalaki parin ang magbabayad. Kahit KKB, gagastos parin si lalaki. Sayang ang pera. Even if you love each other that much, love won�t pay for the movies you know. And think of the gifts. Every Christmas, birthday, Valentine�s Day, Anniversary, etc., you have to give your significant other something. Especially pag Christmas kasi sisipsip pa sa magulang, kapatid, pinsan, etc. ng girlfriend/nililigawan at bibigyan sila lahat ni boyfriend/manliligaw ng regalo. Mahirap kumita ngayon dahil mataas ang unemployment rate, mahal ang bilihin at likas na kuripot ang mga lalaki. Hence, females like me have no boyfriends.

2. May mga babaeng perfectionist. Admit it, every female is looking for the perfect man. Apparently, the perfect man does not exist� yet. What are the qualities we look for in a man? Gwapo, may kaya, responsible, mature, sensitive, funny, smart, presentable, gentleman� the list is endless. We have to face the fact that the perfect man doesn�t exist kasi it�s practically impossible to find all these qualities in one man. If we ever do, the guy is gay, a priest or married! No, I�m not saying that we have to settle for second best but maybe, just maybe, the perfect guy is out there, we just have to lower the standard a notch. He might not be perfect in every way but his flaws just might be the very reason that you will love him. Kasi yung imperfections niya ang reason why he might need the person made for him� for that person to be the one to pick him up when his flaws take him down. I�m not sure if that made sense but I do hope you get the point.

3. The last great theory (and the most likely) of my demented mind is that there are more males born than females every minute of the day. I don�t know what the ratio is now but a couple of years back it was 4 females to one male. Can you believe that? Imagine sharing one boyfriend with three others. Plus you have to face the fact that maybe that one male wants to be a female. Or that one male devotes himself to God. Siyempre, hindi mo kakaribalin ang Diyos di ba? Or that one male is married. Would any female want to play second fiddle? I know I wouldn�t.

Patience is a virtue, that�s my mantra. The theories I made up are just there to console me whenever I feel I�m missing out on something kasi I�m single. Case in point: Valentine�s Day or weddings or family gatherings na hinahanapan ako ng boyfriend. He�s out there somewhere, the boyfriend that at the moment is missing in action. While he�s not there yet, enjoy being single. Sabi nga ng iba, wala pa tayong sakit ng ulo and pag gigimmick, sa parents lang tayo magpapaalam at walang message na biglang darating from a boyfriend asking us where we are, who we�re with and what time tayo uuwi (daig pa ang tatay ko!). The perfect guy for me will come along when I�m not looking for it. And when he does, I�m sure everything will be worth the wait.
