a whole new level of exasperation

"i'm glad that you understand my 'desperation'. or rather 'exasperation'!"

recently i was talking to my oldest school friend. amidst our various topics of the good ole school days, annoying colleagues and mutual friends, we found ourself on the subject of matchmaking agencies.

i admitted that i've reached the stage where i'm not eliminating any mediums so to speak. sad but probably true. we talked bout the possibility of joining this particular matchmaking agency. it's the cheapest in the market though it comes attached with a long-time stigma. but it's 'just for the activities'.

then my oldest school friend remembered something that our mutual ex classmate told her. she had tried to join the activities and was straight up told in disbelief that "you're quite pretty, why don't you have a boyfriend? are you very picky?"

it's one 'problem' to be 26 and very single enough to consider matchmaking agencies but there's definitely a bigger problem if the matchmaking agency starts turning you away 'coz you're 'too pretty'.
