Single Ladies: The Metrosexual

*Riding on a black horse* (I wish).* BeyoncĂ© wave* 'Hey single ladies!'. For a lady on a quest, the horse would have been ideal,right? Anyway ,how have y'all been? I hope the lessons that we are going through are helping us build character. (Wifen material).




Today we have yet another bachelor under our radar. So we have so far, gone through our potential Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It who has been bachelor; the widower, the divorcee, the foreigner, the boy and last but not least, the single dad. Not so bad ladies.

Now bachelor number six is,the metrosexual. Now why should we place such a man on our panel,you ask? Well,he is my personal favourite *wink*. The anatomy of a metrosexual. By definition a metrosexual is an urban man with a disposable income who spends a lot on his appearances. In other words, a guy's guy who is in touch with his inner pink.

Now why would a metrosexual be a good candidate for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It? He is not. Most metrosexual men, if not gay, or bisexual, they are narcissistic, and usually players. They like to associate themselves with what they call, *rolling my eyes*, swag. Now we understand.*sympathizing*

But for the single ladies who like collectibles, the metrosexual would make a good 'trophy' husband. Kind of like that pair of Christian Louboutin shoes you would not wear; you will just hang them on the shoe rack for you to admire. *gush*

Well this is justifiable because most metrosexual men, are pretty boys. 'Babes, could you please pass me your tweezers,' hmm. But then again, what a great way to bond. If you have a metrosexual as your man, y'all can go shopping together, manicures, he can help you choose drapes for your house,etc. Yipee! And chances of arguing about a messy house are next to, none.

Apparently, we do have a lot of metrosexual men in this country, and it is kind of scary. But then again, I did say, I like my metrosexual man. There are some very good ,'marriageable' metrosexuals. Those who fall under the star sign, Libra are a good example. (Most that I know of). They like to look well put together, and are neat freaks. (I know, I was raised by one).

So yes, the metrosexual has a sensitive side, making him caring and protective of what he loves. Yes, that sense of style works, he will definitely get you an awesome gift, (the one you don't have to pretend to like), and can tell the difference between hair colour number 2 and number 27. And did I mention that he can cook? (Hmm, breakfast in bed and candlelit dinner. *smile*).

Single ladies,if you find a good metrosexual, keep him. (They are rare). Posh has David, Jessica has Justin,(the one woman who managed to tame, and settle 'trouser-snake'), and you will have... him. It would be nice to have someone who speaks the same language as you, and you do not need to drag him. (For as long as he is not obsessed with his own reflection), or getting attention. He must remember who is the girl in the relationship.

The metrosexual. I like the one who associates himself with class, being regal, chic, not fwag, my bad swag, and definitely does not use the word 'fab' in his vocabulary. (Well, you might need to pick on the crumbs being dropped...get the hint!)

So ladies, this is where we end for today. Do we still have other candidates, (and, married man and player are out of the question). Do not even think about it. Anyway, onward with our quest.....*wave*. Single ladies!

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

I'm Ready

Por quĂ© me siento asĂ­, mi amor? Lo podemos culpar a Cupido!   Bring on the tissues, and a tub of ice cream, and Amarula cream. Cupid really picked on me and not at the best time. And then 'Stupid Cupid' starts playing. Bonjour single ladies! Forgive me for the dramatic entrance, but I feel like a hopelessly enamoured teenager. Remember  le garçon du chocolat ? Oui. Well, what started off as a crush, has developed into more. Could I be in-love? Umm... But I think that the sparks have fizzled out on his end. Throwing myself on the couch.  Why am I this person, though? Am I setting myself up for possibly another heartbreak after recovering from a not so recent one? Like, le garçon du chocolat lives rent free in my mind, and mostly in my dreams. Am I supposed to feel like this actually? Gosh, I feel so embarrassed with my grown self.   So while, I'm manoeuvring through my emotions, let's talk about starting all over again with a renewed perspective. Gather around ladies,...

Script My Life: Bad Hair

My relationship with hair extensions will never be the same! It's spooky season and what a time for all things that make your stomach churn, and eyes pop! For most of this series, I review romantic comedies and dramas. The big screen allows me to live vicariously through stories and characters. I can escape my mundane life and all the imperfections in between. I can be anything that I want, through whichever character that I relate to. Funny enough I love horror and thrillers! I love the adrenalin rush of frightening encounters with the paranormal, or mentally unhinged. Most horrors or thrillers often follow a generic pattern, however there those that take the cup for scares. I will never watch 'The Exorcist' and 'The Nun' again! Apart from being scary, I am not playing with all that supernatural stuff. And here we are, watching Hulu's new flick, 'Bad Hair'. Ever since the trailer, I have been religiously following the interviews. In one interview, the f...

Script My Life: Marry Me

If you want something different, you have to do something different! Woo, Jennifer Lopez really grated the cheese on this rom-com but I love it! Yes, this Valentines day, J Lo reminds us of all our fantasies of what really love should be. Jenny has always been a girl who loves love. So art somewhat imitates life. Following her reunion with former fiancĂ©, Ben Affleck, we are definitely seeing Jenny from the Block 2.0. Who knew that getting back together with 'the one that got away' two decades later would revive romantically in J lo? We all know that Jennifer loves to be booed up. She's been married three times, engaged five or six (I've lost count). I believe relationship experts would consider her a love addict. But that's none of our business! Just in time for Valentines day, a romantic comedy simply titled, "Marry Me". The stars Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Maluma, John Bradley, Sarah Silverman, and Chloe Coleman. The movie opens with the title trac...

Self Care:10 Ways to Be Good to Yourself

Taking care of oneself shouldn't be a hash tag or social media trend. Self care is a key component of self love which is an actual journey. Self care isn't achieved overnight but with time and patience, one can reach the point of bliss. We all need peace of mind, good health and productivity. Yet most of us find very little time for 'self.' We are either coerced into guilt by equating 'self-care' to selfishness, or that it's counterproductive. In an article by Hannah Ritchie and Max Roser on the global mental health, it was estimated that 970 million people worldwide had a mental or substance use disorder in 2017. Of that population, 3.4% suffered from depression while 3.8% had anxiety disorders. 107 million people were reported to have alcohol use disorders. We are living in a stressed world and few know the right coping mechanisms. We are mostly triggered by the economy, politics, work, finances and relationships. Apart from mental health disorde...

Script My Life: Jane the Virgin Season Finale

Every telenovela has to come to an end... ...but with a happy ending! *Warning spoiler alert!* Mios dios! I dramatically cried as Jane and Rafael were enjoying the sunset on their wedding day. Jane  explains the ending of her novel, which is turned into a telenovela. And the typewriter writes, 'THE END'. I now understand my friend's sadness over the finale of this cheesy, yet addictive television series. I have always been a fan of soap operas. I religiously watched South African soapies during my nursing school days. And then when I became a stay-at-home mum, I added the American and Phillipino soapies to the list. When DSTv then introduced a channel for Spanish soapies known as novelas, I was gone. The thing with novelas or telenovelas, is that they amplify the usual soapie drama. The male characters are sexy even as villains and the female characters are over the top. Unlike a soapie like Days of Our Lives or Generations, telenovelas have a time frame. Like w...
