This afternoon, after a great session with my horses I decided to go for a date with myself and have some dinner. I was driving up to Dublin anyway, and decided to go to my favourite restaurant, My Thai at the Beacon Hotel in Sandyford.
I sat down at the crowded bar and had a cocktail, non-alcoholic, of course, as I was driving. I scanned around the room, there were made-up women everywhere, and even though it was only 4 pm, some of them were already drunk.
Platform heels to try to disguise their shortness, compact powder to cover pimples and a fake designer bag that cost 45 euro, instead of 450 for the original. I couldn't help but wonder; why do we have to pretend so much.
I was sitting down in jeans, boots and a pink t-shirt, and I still seemed to be more interesting to the men in the bar. I started to think, that maybe men want something real, and not what women think they want. So, I made a survey.
10 out of 10 men preferred a woman with a good sense of humour.
9 out of 10 men did not care what kind of a hand bag a woman carries.
8 out of 10 men preferred a woman with less make-up.
7 out of 10 men were wondering why on earth women would want to wear such uncomfortable shoes.
6 out of 10 men preferred a woman with no perfume.
5 out of 10 men liked a woman with a short hair.
4 out of 10 men cared whether or not a girl has done their hair up when going out.
3 out of 10 men were giving their partner thumbs up whether or not they should wear a specific kind of underwear.
2 out of 10 men tolerated talk about nail polish and spray tanning.
1 out of 10 men thought that this survey was useless and told me that women should just be themselves.
On top of this, a good-looking bartender asked me if I wanted Sex on the Beach, I responded; "Sorry, mate, I'm driving." He offered to drive me home. I politely declined.
A date with self that turned out to a general survey on how males and females perceive one another was time well spent. After all, for my surprise, and for the surprise of a lot of women alike, it appears that all men are looking for is someone who's real and honestly themselves.
Something to think about, girls.
Much love,
M
