On the Prowl?

P is my colleague from work. This is the conversation I had with him today:

P: So Sonia, are you married?
Me: Nope.
P: Ah, so you can join R in the man-hunt. She’s unmarried too!
Me: Err… you have to hunt?
P: Of course, gone are the days when proposals come raining down. Now, a person will have to hunt for a partner.
Me: I don’t want to.
P: Why not?
Me: Not interested.
P: Why, scared of the responsibility of family life, of having kids and being responsible?
Me: No, not interested in “hunting”.

Someone please tell me what he said is not true!
I’m not a hunter and can never be one.

You mentioned Mumbai not too long ago, and I saw this article which seems to tie into your post:

seems like you might be the "hunted", if anything! ;)
