“When you are 37 years old and you’re still single, it’s difficult to find a partner anymore. Why? Because it’s hard to change the things you used to be. It’s difficult to change your lifestyle,” 39 year-old bachelor and BPO Executive Allan Padua told Adrian Lee of TPP.

The story begins when Alex (not a real name as requested by his wife), an entrepreneur and small business owner in Santa Rosa, Laguna posted on his Facebook “I got married at last!” Alex is a childhood friend of Adrian and happened to be a high school classmate.

Alex had been without girlfriend for 13 years. At the age of 39, he was busy with his local businesses. He is above average-looking person and has a deep pocket, but his friends wondered why it took him more than a decade to settle after he and his ex broke-up last 2003 when he was just 26 years old.

“I don’t know. Women were distancing themselves from me for no reason. Most said I was a playboy and this is the reason why I am not having any serious relationship for that long,” Alex said.

“It’s really difficult to find someone when you are at that age despite having money. Women are not looking at your money anymore. They are looking on how you manage yourself. The question why you are still single is always there, and no one, like me, who can give a correct answer for that”, He added.

Alex said he posted in some dating groups about himself that he was looking for someone, that he wanted to date someone. He said he even sent private messages to several women he was interested with before. One time he was desperate enough that he contacted a single mother and offered her a financial help, but the latter turned him down telling him he was a playboy.

“I was just 38 years old and I am not that ugly to be turned down by someone, I guess”, Alex chuckled.

It was January 2015 when his younger sister arrived from US for a 2-month vacation. An article from a magazine brought by her sister caught his attention. He then asked his older sister for help, and the plan was materialized a month later.

Alex borrowed his sister’s 5-month old daughter, took a picture with the baby, and posted it on dating groups.

The post says “My baby, who lost her mother after birth, needs a serious woman who can take care both of us. I am looking for someone who can take care of my baby while I’m doing my daily chores, and can take care of me when I’m at home. I am 38 years old with stable financial source.”

Within 5 hours after Alex posted the message, his PM box was flooded with private messages from both single ladies and unwed mothers. “The response was shocking,” he said.

“I met a dozen of ladies from that post. I picked younger ones. I even made love to more than half of them before I settled with my wife,” Alex said.

“My wife was actually one of these women but I found her different. She was working as company nurse while most of the others were jobless, OFWs who were difficult to settle with, and some were single mothers,” he added.

When asked about Alex’s experience, Sociologist Dr. Paul Gomez said the reason why a single father attracts more women than a single one is because of responsibility. Women think young widowers are more responsible than single men regardless of financial status.

Alex said he only told his wife everything after six months of dating, and she accepted the truth without any complains. They were married last December 2015.
