My swan song to all the men...

THIS is the last Sexless in the City column ever!

It has come at quite an appropriate time as I am now convinced all my searching for the perfect man is over, for now at least.

Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson once sang an ode to all the girls they'd loved before, and I thought I'd pen a column to all the men I thought I could one day find love with!

What better way to pay tribute to the bad dates that have blotted the three years and four months since I have been Singapore's version of Carrie Bradshaw.

Remember the Mr Vain Guy from 2006 that danced on podiums with glo-sticks? Or maybe the Brazilian model who liked to walk the ramp in his underwear?

Without further ado and sung to the tune of Willie and Julio's To All the Girls I've Loved Before:

To all the men I've dated before

Who've travelled in and out my door

How could I have been so wrong

I dedicate this song

To all the men I've dated before.

To all the men who've let me down

Who I see with different women around town

I just want you to know

You've allowed me to grow

To all the men I've dated before.

To the Mr Vain I dated before

Who loved his reflection more and more

Glo-sticks I hope you've thrown

I hope that time has shown

That glo-sticks aren't 'in' anymore.

To all the models I dated before

Who I sooooooo don't respect anymore

I hope you went back to school

Stopped partying and playing a fool

To all the models I've dated before.

To all the men I've hurt before

If I've left you feeling hurt and raw

I'm glad you came along

I now know what I did wrong

Sorry to all the men I've hurt before.

I never thought that almost three and a half years could be summed up so briefly.

But for the most part, penning Sexless has been an amazing and hilarious experience.

Many thanks to all the loyal readers and make sure you watch this space!
