MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINK
Family
Council
Clyde M. They should lay
on me matchmakine.
Bob V. Hi3 attitude is all
wrong.
Sunday, September IS, 1957
Clyde M. I am a bachelor
of 34 happy too or I would
be if my friends, family and the
world at large weren't engaged
in a conspiracy to get me mar
ried. I can't figure out why peo
ple can't rest until they see
everyone they know hooked to
gether in pairs.
My special beef is with my
close friend Bob and his wife
I believe they stay awake nights
trying to think up women for
me to meet. The awful part of it
is they come up with the worst
dogs. If these women aren't a
head taller than I or cross-eyed
then they have an IQ of about
five. I'd hate to say how many
miserable evening;: I have spent
with creatures like that.
All of the really nice women
I know are married. I enjoy
their company and like visiting
their homes and seeing their
families as long as they lay
off the matchmaking. It's caus
ing real conflict between me and
my friends. Shouldn't they lay
off?
Bob V. My wife and I are
really not the matchmaking
type, we don't like to meddle
in anyone's affairs, but in
Clyde's case we can't resist.
Clyde is a good-looking, intel
ligent man of excellent char
acter. Yet he really has no life
outside of his work. He has no
family and lives at a hotel.
notice he loves those home-cook-d
meals and home atmosphere
he gets when he visits married
friends.
My wife and I feel Clyde real
ly has no right to let the better
tilings of life pass him by. We
re rather hurt about his atti
tude toward the women we have
introduced to him. If we didn't
think they were nice and attrac
tive, in one way or another, we
wouldn't introduce them. It is
really getting a bit awkward
the way he shuns these single
women at any parties we give
We don't want to annoy him or
intrude on his privacy, but we
feel that his attitude is all
wrong.
The Council: Clyde and Bob
have both made social errors
and should rectify them.
Close friends often feel that
their sincere desire for the hap
piness of a single friend gives
them a right to ask personal
questions or to give lectures
about "attitudes" or about the
joys of married state.
Unless the single friend seeks
this kind of discussion, it should
not occur. Sometimes an indi
vidual has a private reason for
not marrying, or it is possible
he simply doesn't know his own
reasons. In either case, he is
forced to evade or lie. He feels
hounded and persecuted by so
cial pressures and begins to
avoid those who seek to impose
them.
On the other hand, any social
introduction should be accepted
in a friendly spirit. Clyde has
no right to brutally criticize the
women he has met through his
friends. He probably observes
the social amenities in other
areas and should try to carry
through acquaintanceships with
single women with grace and
respect for those, who made the
introductions. In the process of
doing so, he may be able to sub
due some of his private conflicts
enough to get to know and like
one of those "creatures."
If Bob and his wife value
Clyde's friendship, they should
steer away from personal obser
vations and obvious matchmak
ing and should make all social
introductions as casual as pos
sible. Any change in Clyde's
"attitude"' will take place from
within. The best they can do is
to keep the doors to new rela
tionships open.
