Becoming recently single has presented me with a great deal of frustration, particularly when all I want is a good looking companion with no strings attached. I’m a busy lass with a business to run, friends to see, places to go and priorities that don’t include a relationship.
Men: don’t automatically assume women are emotional sponges, desperately grasping at your freedom to hurl out along with your Zoo Weekly magazines.
Let me lay it down for you fellas… with much love from all the women out there who are misunderstood.
I text to say I’ll be over at 7pm … I’ll ask if you want me to pick you up some take-away too. I ask because a) I’m polite and b) I’m freaking hungry, but because I want to force a romantic feed upon you.
Devouring my food, you knock my socks off by my clearing away my plate and rubbish – so I shoot you a smile. But no, I didn’t just envisage you being a domestic God in our new house. I’m just impressed you’re cleaning up.
Whilst relaxing on the couch waiting for my food to digest, the topic of your family pops up in conversation, so I ask a few mindless questions about them.
Don’t presume I’m internally assessing our family’s compatibility; I’m just bored of watching the ESPN shit that you’ve got playing on TV.

Seeking some advice ladies.
I'm a 25 year old male who spent a large proportion of his early adulthood in a long- term relationship. I am now very happily single and wish to remain this way for the foreseeable future. I have a hard time getting one-night stands but have more success meeting girls through friends, work, uni, etc. I have been with half a dozen girls over the past 2 years, all of which I informed at the beginning that I wasn't after anything serious. Although I got on well with these girls, and found them attractive I did not wish to go down the girlfriend path as it is not what I currently want. I was forced to end every single one of these flings after a couple of months because each girl "wanted more".
What am I doing wrong? Who are these girls that the author claims to be and where can I find them?!
I really dislike the way this article is written - as a few people have commented it sounds like it's trying to be a 'lad's mag' article and it's just not a good piece of writing.
Having said that though, women can absolutely have no strings sex and I think it can be a very healthy thing. It means you don't get in relationships just to get your physical needs met and it can be a lot of fun. It's probably easier though for women who are 30+ to manage - I think younger women still confuse sex with love and so one night stands or FWBs can lead to heartache.
