SWM In search of the perfect woman Ninety percent. This is a large percentage. I don't care what you're doing. If you're taking a test, it's an "A." If you play basketball, that's an unheard of free throw percentage. It's just a large percentage of anything. From what I hear, it's also the amount of time guys spend thinking about women. Until now, though, I wasn't entirely sure I agreed with that figure. I mean, church, ministry, school, and sports are on my mind. I was what you would call a "satisfied single". I was free to go where I wanted, be with who I wanted, and do what I wanted. There were no limits to my madness, and no woman could occupy more of my thinking time than the three activities mentioned above. Man, how quickly things change. Now, don't jump to conclusions. No woman has ever grabbed me and forced me to think about what to buy her and where to take her to dinner. On the contrary, I'm technically still single; but there is a huge difference. Now I am what you would say, to put it delicately: a desperate single man. Now it's not easy to get a man to say something like that and still keep his pride intact. I mean, this puts us men at risk of seeming, well… desperate, when in reality we want the general population to believe that we can have any girl we want. The macho image, the right clothes, training; all this to get a girl and not be "alone". Here lies my problem. My desperation is no ordinary case of loneliness. No, it's not even sexual hunger (although most cases fall into this category). Ninety percent of my time isn't spent thinking about casual sexual acts with the girl I sit next to in class, or the girl I saw at the bar. My problem is that I don't just want "any girl". I'm desperate to find "THE girl". Ninety percent. I think I've reached that point. When I spend so much time thinking about a woman (especially when I have no idea who she is), then I can confidently say that I have reached one of the worst moments in a man's life. The point where every woman they meet is a possible bride.
