There are 2 buzzwords going around in the 'ready to mingle' category of women today-ONS and LTR .
ONS stands for 'One Night Stands' and LTR for 'Long Term Relationships .'
The girl next door has come out of the closet and how, she no longer wants chocolates, candles and mush ...She does not categorise her admirers by their ability to open the door , read her a poem, take her to an exotic restaurant and pick up the tab.
Hell! she can do all of that and a lot more,
However the new 'ready to mingle' woman, whom henceforth i will call RTM has a new agenda ...
Ever noticed RTM's at a coffee shop, they are manicured, with blunt nails, signalling furious laptop typing with some driving thrown in.
They have an 'only once a month , too busy to do more than that ' facialled look and hair which is at ease with straightening as it is with scrunchies...
Sitting in coffee-shops , discussing the rhetoric between politics and recession,one of them will 'put 1 in'.....for the uninitiated that means,summarily dissect the merits of the 'charlie' , who was met @ the last party,night club or (for the lucky ones) in office.
Charlies nowadays are categorised into 2 specimens , ONS and LTR.
Married men, dysfunctional men, funny men, 'bored so why not him' men and assholes who are just good for 1 thing ...all fall into the ONS category as long as they appear interesting and are passably hot.
The good news for men, is that RTM's are not looking for marriage, love , or commitment anymore.. They just want an orgasm and no coffee in the morning , thank you.
RTM's have changed the rules of the game, they are not interested in your bank account, or your mummie's jewellery, or your ability to talk about psychic fundamentalism..
All they want to know is whether u can fundamentally deliver on the G Spot and move on , or do u just nag and talk and waste time....
ONS is the best thing which happened to women and ONS has turned back centuries of victimisation theory. It is beautiful because ...now neither men nor women can claim of being used , abused or commodified. There does not have to be someone whose heart gets broken..it's about getting it off and then moving it on....
After all , dawn breaks, and the day fills up with meetings, concalls, lunch, presentations , tactics and strategy about the next day...and days to come..That's life...
And what about LTR ?....in my opinion that's the modern day myth which we celebrate through Bollywood, novels and yes sometimes through the institution of marriage..
but in this pastiche stricken world a 'Long Term Relationship' is something you develop with your favourite author, Ur childhood corner store, your sisters & girl friends, comfort food, hair conditioner, your bank,,...possibly for some women even a job...but the opposite sex...what are you caught in... 'a time warp'?

This bit is oh-so-Sex-and-the-City style!! Carrie Bradshaw types!
But all is true,there isn't a bit I would disagree with..and its a great feeling to know that:)
amen, i wud like coffee in the morning though :-)
whereas 90% of the men would admit that this piece is absolutely from their own Pandora's Box. The other 10% would only be the ones too happy to divulge the truth.
Though this is where it starts and should end, what goes wrong is when you wonder if the feeling could continue...or recurr...
what then would not be surprising is the paradigm shift from ONS to LTR...obviously one sided.
