Freemales

That's what it's called being a woman, single and enjoying it.

'Freemales' - manless women who are happy to remain so for the present at least - are now a force to be reckoned with and are overturning the dated Bridget Jones image of the lonely woman staring despondently at an empty Chardonnay bottle. They are too busy living life to the full to make time for 'Mr Mediocre' and the last thing on their minds is, 'Will I find Mr Right today?' Instead, they are juggling careers with busy social lives and if they happen to bump into him, all well and good, but they are not going hunting.

I have always wonder if there is something wrong with me since I enjoy being single, but now I know I'm just a freemale. Sometimes I wonder if it is a little bit selfish, just to think about myself and what I want to do. I also wonder if I'm getting to comfortable being by myself and getting too set in ways. But there is really nothing I can't do without a man. OK, babies then. And yes I have to admit that the thought of babies crosses my mind every now and then. (I think all childless women do from time to time) But then the next minute I think "it happens if it happens". "I'm not going hunting for a man."

So I guess I'm very much a freemale who enjoys her career, friends, travel and hobbies and can't see the need of having a man under the same roof. Looks like I'm actually very modern then...
