Single Ladies: The Metrosexual

*Riding on a black horse* (I wish).* Beyoncé 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!

Inspired By A Thread

Colour blind is ignorance when all you see is red... ...learn your colours! Oi, you lovely lot! Whaddup, 'ow's it goin'? I’m gettin’ there, innit? Just takin’ me time, you know how it is. A while ago, I scrolled down my timeline, and I came across an interesting thread on X. Actually the responses were wild, but it had me thinking, I would love my readers to share their own experiences. The question was as follows; What was the craziest thing that you've done to investigate a man? Fam, the responses in this thread are worthy of scripts. Don't play with a woman who wants the truth. She has better investigative skills than any intelligence agency. This led me - actually inspired me to share my own personal experiences. My life is so ironical. I like keeping my relationships on the low because my ego can't handle the humiliation if things don't work out. However, drama seems to ensue whenever I decide to allow a male into my space. Of late, I realised that I ...

When The Door Shuts But There's No Closure

Let this be the last time that I am stupid in love! To quote Bob Marley, 'The biggest coward of a man, is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.' No intentions are still intentions and usually cruel intentions. I'm a bitter woman. I'm mad as hell. How did I let that ugly mother****er make me look stupid? Little did I know that I was just setting myself up to feeling dumb and dumber. I'm a clown! So I took the step and reached out to him to get closure. I needed to gather my thoughts and emotions so that I could speak to him calmly. Parce que IRL, I'm on that Lemonade Beyoncé woman scorned level. The initial call that I made, he blew me off. So I took defeat. However, he called back an hour later and the conversation came. My biggest question was 'Why?'. Why pursue me when you already had someone else whom you wanted to give what I myself wanted. Marriage! What was your intention and outcome from all this? I reiterate that I...

It's Your Own Race, Stay In Your Lane

You might miss out on enjoying what's around you because you're rushing to the infinite finish line! I'm exhausted at this moment! Some days I kick myself for having missed opportunities due to pride or naïvety. At times I suffer from FOMO like the rest of our generation as I scroll down my Instagram timeline. I think my LinkedIn makes me feel worse, as I fall short on qualifications. But as I write this, I know that I'm not where I used to be. I worked damn hard - walking, getting sunburnt, looking disheveled, sleepless nights, and no social life. I'm nowhere near halfway to where I really want to be, but the pandemic has taught me to 'count it all joy.' So why do I continuously feel the pressure 'to be'? Tu ne comprends pas la question? It seems that everywhere I go, people are suffering from the “hustle culture” pandemic. By hustle culture, I mean the collective urge we currently seem to feel as a society to work harder, stronger, faster.(Then Daf...

Are You Miss Bare Minimum?

You are worth the ICE! Intention. Commitment. Effort. Y'all, this is my proof of life. It's been a minute. It's been a tumultuous season, and I guess that I'm not the only one. I am glad though, that I am here to pour out and into you. You've always understood me. And then P!nk's 'Mizunderstood' becomes a backtrack to this conversation. But that's a conversation for another day. A nous allez! Bonjour, bonjour mes amies! Comment allez-vous? I'm taking it one day at a time. Picture this: you’re on a date, and instead of engaging in conversation, your date is glued to his phone, replying to texts that are definitely not from you. Or maybe he’s the ‘textationship’ king, flooding your screen with emojis but never making time for an actual face-to-face meeting. Now this is a good one, he's the convenience pro who gets to see you and spend time with you within his vicinity, and not outside his capacity. Now what do we call that *taps head thinking*...

Script My Life: Star

I bring me! I have my certain qualms with director Lee Daniels but I'm absolutely in love with his musical dramas. I quickly jumped onto the Empire bandwagon because of Timbaland's productions and of course, the cast. I love me some Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. But in the midst of the whole Empire craze, I initially missed out on another Lee Daniels' production - Star. The two shows have found themselves crossing over with Queen Latifah's character, Carlotta guest appearing in an episode of Empire, and Jussie Smollet's Jamal appearing in Star. Both shows ran at the same time but I didn't take much interest throughout season one of Star. Come season 2, I decided to give this show a chance. First of all, me thinks, why haven't I watched the series that starred Lenny Kravitz, Naomi Campbell and Benjamin Bratt? Anyway, the storyline picks up from the life of two half sisters and a legendary musician's daughter who form a group and pursue a ...
