Are you a FREEMALE???

A new breed of women care about money and themselves, not men. The Freemales -- are unmarried, childless. They want to spend time and money as they desire. They aren’t looking for love.
They think relationships are increasingly irrelevant, emotionally high risk, and a lot of hard work. Welcome to the world of alpha woman, who is freedom-loving, career-driven, independent individual and commitment phobic.

Today, a majority of women in their mid to late 20s believe that ‘landing a husband’ is not their focus anymore. Blame it on previous failed relationships, career or absence of perfect men, the newage women are trying to push off nuptials as long as possible. Model Ramneek Pantal feels, “As you grow older, you become more inflexible. You get used to a particular lifestyle and it becomes tougher to fit somebody else into the frame.

However, I think life is not only about making millions. You obviously need somebody to share your successes with. Trust me it makes life more interesting.” The standard bearers among this new breed include Kylie Minogue, 40, Cameron Diaz, 35 - and, of course, the ladies of Sex and the City. Model Aman Wahi says, “Many women today choose their career over marital bliss. Earlier women used to be more marriage oriented; however, the scene is completely different now. Modern woman believes in experimenting and enjoying life.” New-age women are very demanding. Leena Ghosh, media person says, “My friends are scared of tying the knot. They might have different reasons but everyone suffers from the same phobia. One of them who has dated nearly ten guys, still hasn’t found Mr Right.”

But there are women who inspite of being in steady relationship, find it too difficult to commit for marriage. Fear of losing freedom, identity or a thriving career is not the only reason that results into commitment phobia. Suresh Raina, an investment banker met Neerja almost three years back. Both of them work in the same organization. Everybody around them thought that they will have a great life together, except the lady herself. “I realised my girlfriend didn’t want marriage because she had childhood phobia about relationship. Hence, she was carefree. She was happy shopping and spending time with her friends,” says Suresh.
So, why are girls enjoying their freemale status? Psychiatrist Dr Steve reede elaborates, “Women enjoy carefree life. If they’ve seen their parents unhappy, then they don’t want to compromise on their comfort.” Michelle presky, a PR executive says, “The option of a live-in is always more enticing.”

Does that mean marriage is not really a lucrative deal? Model Gauhar Khan says, “Getting married does not mean you lose your identity or freedom. Though staying single is a completely personal choice And a fun one.”
