Post subject: substantial change? the single vs the married---

Hi guys
i m single and not afraid of getting into " family life"
but the relationship doesn't work out to get the result so far!




but i have no problem with lots of bachelors,
abusing their freedom as post-80's,or enjoy diamond life as post 70's.....

haha.......

But there are always news on some friends getting married,
then you find it hard to get them out of family for fun


So any great things you expect after marriage......

We need to the two group together to explore
a good life BEFORE/after marriage..........haha

um, well, that's certainly clarified the issue...

I shall attempt an answer to what I think is the question.
Single life was great when I was young. Married life was, on the whole, wonderful. Now I'm a widow & therefore single again, but it's different. In this life I think you should try to be happy in each stage of your life, no matter whether single or married. Enjoy life each day.

You seem to think that you lose contact with some friends once they marry, but surely you can stil enjoy dinners together etc.Meanwhile perhaps you could join some social/sport clubs etc where you may meet other singles.

this is why when you are sorting through resumes from woyaojob and they say "fluent" english or "very strong" you have to assume 90% of the time its gross exaggeration or just a complete disconnect from reality.

my chinese isn't so amazing, but i wouldnt try to pretend like I am fluent either. aiya.

"Hi Guys"

Perhaps the next is "Check out my...... " on blah blah blah.com

Hi 5, You want a real man ? Real men do actually have a lot of flaws.

One good way to find a "good man" is to ask friends, far and wide.

A genuine endorsement of a man from a friend, or from a few friends who know him is a very good start. The more endorsements, the better.

Good luck !

Aiya, seems I'm too silly to tell the truth, I will change it to " Very stong" for English part in resume Very Happy
