Being Single - The Freedom to Be Shallow

Ah, to be single again. I miss those days of old. Superficial was my middle name. I was a complete pig, who did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Now that I am engaged to my beautiful girlfriend, I could not help but reminisce about the times that were.

Whenever I am out with my girl, and even when I am with my friends or by myself, I admit that it could sometimes be torture. I remember how going to the mall meant seeing hot babes strutting around, and just loving the visual pleasure they gave me. Now, when I see someone who would be characterized as 'hot,' my conscience could not help but feel a little twinge. It seems stupid, but I feel guilty for feeling what any normal man would feel when looking at a young lady in skimpy dress from behind. I am supposed to be loving how it makes my blood rush, but at the same time, I look elsewhere just to make sure no one, especially not my girlfriend, sees me.

I am a big music guy. I would listen to new albums in my car or in my stereo at home, blaring it near full blast, enjoying the maleness of the music. The last adjective that could ever be used to describe it would be 'feminine.' Since having a girl, I have been forced to listen most times to either the crap she likes, or to more toned music that both of us appreciate, me to a lesser degree. I feel emasculated, to some degree.

What's more, my viewing tastes have somewhat 'matured,' which is a code word for 'girl-ified.' No longer do I watch stupid all boys humor like 'The Man Show.' No, the closest thing I can get to male humor is 'Veronica Mars' or something equally unisex. 'Veronica Mars' is a pretty darn good show, but I'll be damned if that's the type of programming I'll be watching from now on.

The hardest thing to deal with, however, is having to get myself 'cultured' once in a while. For the first time in my life, with girlfriend in tow, I watched a Broadway play when we last visited New York. And then we had to go through the Metropolitan Museum to look at Reubens' wonderful paintings. I don't like that stuff, but my girl insisted.

As a disclaimer, I am happy to be getting married, and it has been a wonderful journey shared with my wife to be. Doesn't make me miss being single any less though. How I long for that opportunity to be shallow again.
