Girls, you are not your sponsor's highway but their service lane

In life, everything follows proper procedure. Even illicit activities do have their proper procedures.

Now we have just come out of Easter holidays and many a girl’s benefactor- or sponsor, to use the politically correct term- may have taken the trouble to repay good service but taking you on an out-of-town rendezvous.

As a bright girl, and if you are not, you need to be taking notes, you should not litter the social scene with all the escapades you had during this holiday.

Remember the sponsor has his main highway; your life with him is a ‘service lane’. Therefore, to avoid upsetting the status quo, do not think that you can erect bumps on the highway. You are better off sticking to the service lane.

So how do you avoid this? First, while it may be acceptable up to a certain degree to share a few polite pictures with your band of girls who already know who pays for your rent and upkeep, it’s a different ball game to literarily assault the social sites with a blow by blow account of all that transpired during your four-day love marathon.

Girls, do not foolishly put your relationship with the sponsor at risk at the altar of gaining social media popularity. You may want to have many clicks and the admiration online but this comes with its attendant risk.

Unwanted competition

There are many other girls far more beautiful than you, far more intelligent than you with far more voluptuous curves than yours. There are girls who can check into the scene and you become history.

However much you may try or wish you can match them, you simply cannot. So why then would you want to invite unwanted competition? If you were wise you would keep him strictly ‘quarantined’ in the same way we do bovines with highly contagious diseases like foot and mouth.

Secondly, the sponsor may be a respected member of the community be it business, politics or even in church. So why do you want to foolishly rock the boat? There is a reason why he only meets you under the cover of darkness or in far-flung hidden places. You are not part of his normal life. If he is a politician and you are part of his life, you would be comfortably be at the dais not relegated to tinted vehicles during political rallies.

Thirdly, remember your life with the sponsor is temporary. There will come a time when you will want to project a different image from the current one. That is the time you will desperately want to sanitise your past ills as prospects of an eligible bachelor come to the fore.

Unfortunately, the Internet has an uncanny habit of not forgetting very easily. So someone who you might be in competition with you for the eligible bachelor and eventually the famous walk down the aisle may spring a surprise on you by laying bare, quite literally, your past conduct and activities. Can you imagine convincing someone to forget all the other women in the world and be with you only for this seemingly best laid plan to collapse because of a Facebook picture?

Girls, those highly sought out after clicks do not pay your rent, the sponsor does.
