Why do people always assume I have a girlfriend?

[medical2523]

Like today i was talking to someone and they said your girlfriend must look good and i respond with a puzzled looked on my face like what girlfriend im single

[MalloryMalloy]

I don't know why people assume about anything. There is no reason to assume before knowing. I wouldn't just automatically assume you (or any guy) has a girlfriend. That's ignorance. I've had people assume I have a boyfriend and that annoys me.

[medical2523]

Yeah i get irritated like please shut off my personal life is my business

[MalloryMalloy]

Yeah it's annoying.

[medical2523]

I tell them no i dont have a girlfriend but its my choice when i want one

[MalloryMalloy]

I say the same thing.

[medical2523]

Its all about looks people think because of how you look your inclined to have someone and in their mind if your single something has to be wrong

[MalloryMalloy]

Thanks for MHO. This is the first MHO I've had on this site so far.

[medical2523]

Yeah your advice was really good everyone else was just like cause your hot, attractive

[MalloryMalloy]

@Asker Well I'm ugly and people are still surprised I'm single. That has nothing to do with why people assume stupid things like this. People are dumb.

[medical2523]

I myself dont think so i have seen a lot of pretty girls on this site but by far i have to say your the prettiest

[MalloryMalloy]

@Asker Well thank you!

[Oxymorian88]

It's more of a trick to know if you're single or not without actually asking. z

[medical2523]

What if its someone older asking

[Prof_Don]

Girls usually use that as a phishing method, to see if you're taken or not.

These girls definitely find u good looking, that's for sure! ;-)

[medical2523]

What girls?

[medical2523]

It was a weird situation

[Prof_Don]

If guys and girls are saying this... then they see u as a "catch", and this is a good thing!

Embody their belief in u to get a girlfriend, and go get some ladies! ;-)

[medical2523]

Yeah one girl on here i told her i was single and she said she would have never thought that and she thought i would have got all the ladies

[Prof_Don]

You're obviously appealing based on these reactions... now go get some women. :)

[Frost_Byt3]

That's a common trick girls use when flirting. Instead of asking you if you are single, they say "your girlfriend must look good".

[medical2523]

This was a older doctor that said this when i went to urgent care i looked at him strange when he said it

[Frost_Byt3]

Him? Well maybe its just an old guy thing, because my family members always did that to me.

[medical2523]

Yeah i was wierded out

[Alli39]

Referring to someone's SO when you don't know if they have one is actually often used as a way to ask if someone has a partner, if that makes sense. If the person is single, they'll usually come out and say it immediately. The asker gets the information, but doesn't have to be direct/awkward about it.

[ArrowheadSW]

Yeah that is weird when people assume those kinds of things. The other thing that annoys me is when people think that because you aren't married or dating, that you automatically want to be "fixed up" with someone. I don't want to be introduced unless they can demonstrate ahead of time that there are some common interests.

[ArrowheadSW]

This post originated over a year ago. Funny how it re-surfaced.

[mandyfire98]

Well it sounds like they think you're attractive. People always assume attractive people have a significant other.

[Billlewis]

If people generally assume that you have a girlfriend, that can mean only one thing -- that they think you're a good looking guy.

[KDA20]

Take it as compliment - They are saying handsome guy like you must have girlfriend.

[medical2523]

Maybe itd my confidence cause i just dont attract the ladies the way people think i do

[Reem12345reem]

bc ur most probably handsome so they assume that u already have a girlfriend bc it's easier for u

[Wonderingguyy]

I’m assuming it’s because you’re a good looking dude

[Sasha0426]

I always have people assume I have a man or I’m married. I just brush it off and tell them I’m not taken.

[Nikki1989]

Well, most guys do have a girlfriend.

[jeffend888]

You're 31. I'm more surprised that they are saying girlfriend instead of wife.

[Anonymous]

You just have that defeated look on your face that all guys get when they're in a relationship.😆😆😆

[WillNye]

They find you attractive and want to know if you’re single without looking thirsty. Plus you’re older so the single mothers are desperate

[THE_JESTER]

because your probably attractive and/or look like a good couple.

[medical2523]

Well some people think i can get all the girls

[SonyaLB]

You're too paranoid. Just go in with an open mind.

[moxygirl11]

You must be a good catch

[medical2523]

Not really sure

[Klaatu51]

maybe they think u are attractive?

[medical2523]

Well it was a dude i was talking too so that might be weird

[WhitneySnow]

Maybe because you’re a doctor?

[Anonymous]

Were you talking to a female?

[medical2523]

Nope

[Opinion Owner]

Oh, okay. It was probably just a compliment on your looks, then.

[Anonymous]

Because you're really good looking!

[medical2523]

Man i wish i could look in the mirror and see what these people see

[PurpleSweater]

Those people are weird.

[medical2523]

I completely agree you ought to see how i look at them when they ask
