Playing Cilla

I have rediscovered a truth I had forgot about. Namely this.

When being set up on a blind date, or someone says they no one someone just perfect for you, make sure it is a man saying this.

Having become single I know have a few female friends offering there match making services to me. So far I have met a few of these "Perfect" girls for me. Not in a blind date way, but I will meet up with a friend and amazingly there friend will just happen to be there. Always awkward and usually funny. In each and everyone of these situations I have not fancied the girl in the slightest. They are sooo not my type. Now these girls who are trying their best to create something which will lead them into buying a new hat for the summer have all met my ex. They know the type of girl I go for. And to all intents and purposes and not to blow my own trumpet, my ex's have on the whole been very attractive. My ex just gone is a stunner. Don't ask me how, I guess she loved my humor, huh?

I think the reason for this is how men and women view there friends. OK I am going to go for a generalisation here (which I don't normally do) but here goes. Men are more analytical about their buds in a cold manner. We know who is more intelligent, better looking, better at sports whatever. We have an easy way to classify and put people into their place. We don't feel guilty saying that our buds are fat, stupid, ugly, asexual, into mingers and so on. Men's friendships are based on the piss take culture. If you take the mickey out of a bloke it is usually cause there are your good mates. We can easily recognise both faults and assets.

Women do not do this. Their relationships are based on support for their friends when it comes to their perception. That is why a woman will always try to find the good in a friend to describe them. That is why the are always "stunning", "intelligent", "sexy" etc. They have to big up their mates no matter what. Whether this is sub conscious or a conscious decision I am not sure.

This is why if a female friend thinks they have someone perfect for you and you decided to go along with it, check to see if a male mate has seen them first and get the real low down.
