The best part of this project has been hearing from various women, women who feel vulnerable about putting themselves out there looking for love, sex, connections. Worried about what friends will think, what if family finds out, what will men think, am I being slutty, what if I encounter a creep, am I too old, is it okay to look for sex, will I find love, why am I not meeting anyone organically, Is something wrong with me, but I am divorced, what about my child… I am in my late 30s…. I am 40… I am 20….
In a society that runs on the lines from a Ranjeet movie, “The mare and woman need to be reined in tightly,” it is heartening to see many women assert themselves as sexual beings, taking control of their bodies and their minds, giving into desire and willing to share their stories. Without shame or embarrassment. Makes me feel I am not the only one not experiencing the ‘happily ever after’ that 90 per cent of my Facebook friends are bragging about.
Having said that, I still would love to hear from more men than I do, sharing their experiences on online dating platforms.
