Married folks tell me that marriage is overrated. My single friends complain that they can't find their Mr. Right / Mrs. Right to walk down the isle together. Everyone has a problem and it seems like no one is truly happy with their relation ship.
You know, grass is always greener on the other side. It's our human nature to bitch about what we don't have rather than to appreciate what we already had.
In this movie, Trust The Man, Rebecca (Julianne Moore) thinks that her husband Tom (David Duchovny) is a sex maniac while Tom simply explains it as "I like it."
Once a guy friend confessed that he loves sex so much that he drives his live-in girlfriend crazy. She almost kicked him out for his super active sex drive!
In the November issue of Marie Claire (Taiwan Edition), I read that 30% of women in Taiwan have sex less than once a week. So it's safe to assume that they probably get laid less than 52 times a year. In Taiwan the average number of sex per year is 88 times.
Here's some interesting data about sex:
In average, Greeks have sex 138 times a year as the most active in the world; Japanese has the least sex with only 46 times a year.
44% of the people in the world claim to be satisfied with their sex life. Belgium ranks #1 with 67% Belgians are happy with their sex life. China ranks the last on the list with only 22% satisfaction.
Often I hear from married women saying that their life is centered around their kids and they become almost non-interested in their husband. If that's the case, I can see how sex is literally non-existent in marriage. So, if your man cheats because you won't make love to him, can you really blame him? It takes two to tango!
My friend Douglas, who is single and more than a good catch, says that he loves sex but can't seem to find women who can separate sex and love. In his experience women tend to get head over heel after a night of steamy hot sex.
My friend James, who is also single and too good to be true, still sleeps with his ex-girlfriend whom he broke up with more than a year ago. When they're together, she's a control freak and often used sex as a tool to manipulate their relationship. Now there's no strings attached, she wants him more than ever. There are constant booty calls and sleepovers.
A few days ago someone asked me, "Why are you still single? What are you looking for in a man? Don't you know that no one is perfect and you'll have to learn to be more acceptive!"
Is that supposed to be a trick question? 'Cuz I'm not falling for it. Of course I know nobody is perfect and neither am I. Well, I'm still single because no one has the balls to marry me yet. As for what I'm looking for in a man, it's complicated. In all honesty, I see a little something I like in every eligible man in my life. True, I'm not ready to accept a package that comes with both the good and the bad.
After I saw "Trust the Man", I got a line stuck in my head. The psychiatrist says, "Have a little trust. The World is not against you."
Perhaps nowadays we don't trust people anymore. We see deception everywhere and have been deceived once too many. Ane we're used to put our guard up at all times and I'm no exception. So, let your hair down and learn to trust people around you. Maybe your search for true love will start to look up at last.
