there is this episode on How I Met Your Mother about "woo girls". These are the group of girls who go out to a bar, dress scandolous, acting ditzy, partying, and screaming "woo" to one another. the interesting thing was how the episode talked about how these woo girls are single, intelligent women who try to enjoy going out but really these "woos" are a cry of pain, each a sign of their loneliness or other issue.
i think of this cuz where i am now there seems to be a divide of people who are single and those with partners. it's new to me. back home, single life is well promoted as everyone is selfishly trying to get their life and career off the ground. we also want to enjoy the fruits of our labors, use our 20s to go out and date around before settling down. hardly any of my friends are living with their partner back home. here, i am around a lot of couples and some of these people are my age. and it's something that takes getting used to. the biggest difference is the issue of going out. i love to go out. do i love to go out in hopes of meeting a potential date? i'm not sure. maybe. is it different when going out with the single gals vs. couples? yes.
and why should i create this division?
i just want to be a rebel and live in singledom. that's what i sometimes think. but wouldn't it be great to have a partner? it would. but there is no one i want to be my partner. no man i want to stay in with instead of going out.
so for now, i will remain a woo girl. the idea of sitting in my room, waiting for prince charming to knock on my door, does not seem so appealing.
