Home >> Advice >> Pushing 40? Still single? Don’t panic........

.....it’s easier than you think.
I’m going to give my advice, even though no-one asked for it
It is second hand advice, stolen from the Style supplement (so what if I read the Style section, anyway it gives me something to talk about to girls) of The Sunday Times (I'm a right snob, aren't I?
In an article entitled 'An older girl’s guide to husband hunting' (about 40’s single women who are looking for Mr Whoever), I found a little nugget that could be applied to BOTH sexes……
……throw away The List.
Don’t deny it, you know what The List is. It’s that mental list that everyone has, with their ‘requirements’ for or of a partner. Apparently it is very unlikely that anyone will met someone who ticks more than once box on The List, so you might as well throw it away.
The relevant paragraph in the article reads
| Quote: |
| Abandon The List
You know The List: hate men who wear black shirts; hate men who wear hair products; hate men who play golf. The List is probably the No 1 reason people stay single. You are expecting him to arrive in the precise package you ordered, when actually, if you’re lucky, he will tick one of the boxes. Put The List out of your head and deal with what is in front of you. Not your type? Right. And that’s been such a success for you to date. |

Some good points there. House parties are great for finding someone but no one i know seems to have them anymore, only the spontaneous post pub kind and they're usually too messy.
