the movie Hitch is about dating. apparently there are rules that must be observed and men could never get it right. it's a battlefield out there full of land mines. one step wrong, you go boom. the first date, first kiss... must make sure everything is right. sounds calculated, but isn't it true that first impression counts? even if you've known that person for a while, say as a normal friend or a colleague but when the two of you go out on a date, haha, totally another story.
recently, after long hours of programming, i've been watching reruns of sex and the city. was talking to blur that stories like in these shows would never happen on us or around us because the culture is just so different. in say america, people meet people and date randomly. a few dates later, then they decide whether they would want to see each other exclusively. watching SATC, i can't help thinking how many men are these four women dating... how is it possible they have not exhausted all the single males in new york city, and yet, in 10yrs, Carrie only had 5 relationship with only one of them serious. put Hitch in Singapore, i wonder if he would be out of job. not saying which is good which is bad. but as blur complained she has no life, i was just thinking maybe us asians don't date enough. haha or maybe it's just us.
relationship is a complicated thing, because human beings are complicated thing, or at least the female ones. it's not as easy as what carrie wanted-a guy who is sure she is the one, because when that one guy comes along, she might not want him. it's also not as easy as what samantha wanted-no fuss hot one night stands with no strings attached, because we are emotional animals who do not want to go home alone to an empty house. not the charlotte way either-a perfect house with perfect interior decoration, perfect furniture, perfect china, not mentioning the perfect man, coz nothing in this world is perfect and it's the flaws that make them beautiful. maranda? she's too smart, men are scared away, but tt's not her fault. people say that being needy is a nature of women, but how true is that? sometimes guys can be more needy than us. there are so many self-help books out there but has any one of it had every individual guy and gal figured all out? we barely understand ourselves.
well enough crap for the day.
