Fair huh?

Life is not fair. I get that! But what I don't get is why people are making it worst than it already is?

Here's an example.. Being a single and working-for-myself woman in my mid-twenties often get frowned upon.. on a regular basis.

I was told.....

1. Not to be caught up in work so much and I need to find a partner.. A.S.A.P!!
Reason that was thrown on me was I'll be too busy working to notice a guy walking my way. And if this is a guy who is so busy working, people around him will think he is a hard worker and is on his way to success.

2. Not to think about pursuing my masters degree.
Reason was because guys do not want to go near a girl who's far more educated than them and also according to them I won't need them as I will eventually end up in the kitchen cooking away for my family.
But when a guy is thinking of doing a masters degree, he is a diligent and smart man for investing and thinking way ahead into his future.

And this is a good one, as I get this a lot.
3. To just go with the flow in my career that I don't have to work too hard and be successful.
Reason: Guys feel intimidated by successful woman.

Believe it or not the incident described above happened to me a number of times. And also happened to a lot of my girlfriends who run their own business. Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently being able to support ourselves financially and being independent turns out to be such a turn-off for guys. But if its the other way round where the guy is independent and all actually makes this guy a rare catch in a sea of bad fishes.

So I come to my conclusion that in order to be a perfect woman in this country is to be dumb, and lazy. And if you do that, before you know it a prince charming in a white horse will come sweep you off your feet and both of you will live happily ever after.
