In some shocking news today I learnt that a number of dating services in London have closed down due to a lack of men! So what’s going on here then? Is there really a man shortage, or has every unattached bloke in London decided to turn gay? Is London now awash with feral women hunting in packs searching for the slightest sign of a decent single bloke? If this is the case then why wasn’t I informed?
I also heard a woman complaining on Radio One this morning (yes I know, I’m 35, but I still listen to Radio One – I’ve not re-tuned to Radio Two land just yet) that because she is tall and attractive she didn’t have a boyfriend. Why? Because us blokes are too afraid to ask her out in case we were humiliated by the rejection.
Now there is a whole lot of truth in this as there’s nothing more demoralising than being turned down by a lady whilst her cackling mates jeer as you slink off into the sunset. Also, another thing is that we instantly assume that the real beauties will already be attached and thus steer well clear. I’ve already found myself doing this whilst searching the profiles on Match.com and thinking "Well there’s no point in contacting her as she’ll be totally inundated with messages". So, after hearing this (well, I did already know about this phenomenon but still stuck to the avoidance rules anyway) I’ve decided so say "No more!".
Yup, so from now on, rather than skipping past those ladies deemed to be "too attractive" they’d better watch out. If your profile and personality is a winner, and especially now that my profile picture doesn’t look like an extra from The Dawn of the Dead, you may well just be getting a message from little old me.
