Roll a model
The pains and pitfalls of dating a model far outweigh the pleasures. We tell you why.
The why-tos are obvious. Going out with a Doutzen Kroes double ensures an open door into the best parties in the world, food and drink on the house, the perennial envy of your colleagues and bosses, very good-looking children if you decide to go beyond dating…. We could go on. But this one's about quite the opposite. Here are the top reasons for not dating a model. Read on.
1. You'll have to develop a liking for living in the shade. If you're familiar with gardening, you'll know that stunting is a possible outcome.
2. You may need to get your shoes custom-built with hidden heels. Not everyone can do a Tom Cruise or Ringo Starr .
3. You'll have to give up your penchant for intense discussions on Derrida and critiques of Raghuram Rajan's new book.
4. You may even have to start reading the Archies again.
5. You'll have to get addicted to coke. All kinds. Also, you'll need to learn that when people are snorting, they're not making noises through their nose.
6. You may have to deal with rage issues. It's not easy for beautiful girls to be surrounded by even more beautiful girls all the time without something giving way.
7. Your partner might think the Emergency refers to the time she was stuck on the Bombay-Goa highway without a loo in sight.
8. You can get into the hottest, newest restaurants in town without a reservation, but what's the point in eating out with someone who doesn't eat?
9. Shopping, not drinking, will have to be your stress-buster.
10. You will run the constant risk of being dumped for someone more famous or more rich.
11. You may end up with several new male friends but it won't be because of your personality.
12. You have to be sensitive night and day. An underfed, underslept and overworked clotheshorse needs loads of TLC.
13. You might need to consult a therapist yourself to deal with rage issues caused by her exfiles.
14. Persuading people that you are deep and intense may be tough. That option died the second you got hitched.
