Unattainable

Unattainable, someone used this to describe this girl whom i had a crush on. To add insult to injury, she told it to a third party but i am not about to launch into a tirade about her social behavior.

In any case, does such a situation exist? Meaning what? The girl is deemed to be beyond a guy? Okay, i accept that in countless situations the phrase "its impossible between the two of us" does hold water. However, that is not quite what unattainable means i expect. It seems to entail a gap between the two, intellectual level, social status, 'quality', income level etc. Does all of the above really disqualify two persons from being together?

More to the point, i could see where she was coming from, the girl in question was like the most popular girl around, both because of her bubbly personality as well as her endearing good looks. Me, i don't even want to post my photos on my blog. Okay, i didn't post photos cos i wanted to keep my identity secret, at least from dragon lady (who mysteriously keeps popping up in my posts) but why dwell on the details.

Anyway, back to the unattainable comment. If you hold it strictly against the context the statement was originally made it is no longer relevant i have long accepted it is impossible between the two of us. Yet the question remains, can anyone be really unattainable for another?

How often do you see really gorgeous ladies walking down Orchard Road hand in hand with shabbily attired non-lookers or vice-versa? I imagine the answer is "all the time" unless you don't walk down Orchard Road at all. Or increasingly, you hear of guys whose wives have more successful careers than them. Even, sacrilegious as it sounds to some people, wives who are more highly educated than their husbands.

Does it all matter at the end of the day? Once upon a time, a woman's pride is her husband's career. A man's pride is his wife's appearance. Most people will tell you those days are gone, along with horse carriages, slavery and Michael Jackson's career.

Hmmm, i don't really have a conclusion to this. Just shooting my mouth (pen/keyboard) off i suppose.
