“Are you seeing anyone?”
“It will happen when you least expect it.”
“You just need to put yourself out there more.”
“But you're so great! How could you be single?”
“Have you tried online dating?”
“You're too picky.”
“At least you have a good job!”
“You are SUCH a catch”
“There are plenty of fish in the sea!”
“I know the perfect person for you!”
Are you with me, single peeps?
"Hang in there, you'll find someone."
"If you're going through a period of singleness, then maybe you are just meant to be single right now." <---Usually said by someone who is married. It's like a person chowing down on a big chicken drumstick telling a starving person: "I know you are hungry right now, but maybe you are just meant to be hungry. You know?"
Of course, the all-time worst comment ever is: "Just be yourself." Um, no, DON'T be yourself. Be anybody but yourself. Being yourself got you to where you are today (single) - in other words, being yourself is why you're single.
Things taken people get tired of hearing from single people: 1. I can never find the perfect guy! 2. You just don't know how i feel, 3. He's the sweetest guy but i'd never date him even if he asked me out, 3. I'm so into this guy who ignores me and treats me like crap! Why can't i be happy? 4. We sleep around and have not established a commited relationship, why is he flirting with other girls? 5. I'm going to be alone forever, 6. No one will ever love me! 7. I'm going to get old andbe the cat lady/cat guy, 8. I don't need a boyfriend, i have coffee! (netflix, cats, dogs, etc.)

The truth of this speaks to me in so many ways.
"You're so pretty! How is it even possible for you to be single?"Ugh, I hate this one too. One I don't really think about if I'm pretty or not. Two obviously I'm from a alternate universe where that's common if we're going to use that logic.=_=
"Maybe you're not trying hard enough."Wow thanks for that juicy bit of advice master Yoda. I didn't know that being single was a game you had to try to win. Tell me, if I get good enough at trying will I go to olympics?*Rolls eyes*
It just makes you want to smack people.
I would like to add "Do you have friends or a friend?" Which translates to are you at least banging someone? Lol I hate being asked that because that is too personal of a question and it implies that you can't live without sex. I can go a long time without it when I'm single, I would rather pleasure myself then have a friends with benefits . Even though that seems to be the norm, I hate being asked about if I am still getting my freak on as a single woman because people are always judging and it nobody's business even if I was.

I get the you're probably just too picky all the time online. Guys always say that. Nope. I have only once liked a guy outside my league. I didn't even tell him because I knew right away that I wasn't good looking enough for him. The other guys who were in my league I made a move and the weren't interested because I wasn't attractive enough.
I've been hearing: " there is someone out there for you" since my first crush when I was 12. so far I haven't met anyone interested and I'm 28. I've also heard: "it will happen when you least expect it," and "you need to put yourself out there more." I do put myself out there more. If I like a guy I let him know. I have always been rejected for not being attractive.
They seem to have a heart attack when I tell them I want to be single...
The worst one for me is "you're pretty, why aren't you in a relationship?" Um.. maybe because looks shouldn't be the only reason to be in a relationship!!!
I really hate the "You're too picky" one too, because they can never tell me what out of my standards is picky. Why should I have to lower my standards to find someone? It's really stupid!
I've never had someone ask me why I'm still single but at my old job, this one douchebag would constantly ask me if I'm getting laid or had sex with one recently and ask about my number and when I said 5 just to shut him up, he's like you need to get your numbers up. He's like the average male fucks at least 10 girls a year and how no girl wants to date a guy who hasn't fucked at least 10 girls yet. I then replied grow the fuck up and he got offended he's like I'm just joking or I'm just curious. I've never met someone so full of themselves. It's almost like this guy was more concerned about my sex life than I was.
Maybe this is only because I'm a guy, but here is the one I HATE HATE hearing: "You just need some game" or "You have no game man" or "Develop a game plan" etc. Another words, don't give me this "Game" garbage!
Some of the biggest ladies men I know have ZERO game. Girls in their 20's only want money and they could care less about this so called "game" or "smooth-talking", which is a bullshit myth.
I never really get comments like that when I'm single. The most I got was "don't worry about it; you don't need to have a boyfriend in order to be happy and enjoy life." That one did annoy me a bit because I was like "Yes I do shush! T^T " but the man who told me that was a 50-year-old single who had traveled the world. He was kind of evidence of his own words =)

A male over the age of 16 can't seduce a woman by falsely promising to marry her. If found guilty, he'll be charged with a misdemeanor, fined at the court's discretion, and/or imprisoned for no longer than one year — with a decent number of exceptions.
For example, if the woman was already married or considered "lewd" or "unchaste" (which the law doesn't define), the court can't convict the male of the misdemeanor. The offender will also walk if no one can corroborate the woman's testimony. And no law exists with the gender roles reversed.
A theoretical approach to the reason as to why this happens to you can be phrased in the form of a question, do you emphasize love and monogamy? If you are like most people the answer is yes. Since society emphasizes these things so greatly, people will tend to say those absurd things you posted.
Great take.
This is, when you call these cunts (they are!) out on this and tell them to just mind their own business and leave you alone, they act offended and guilt you with shit like:
"I'm just being nice/making conversation/showing an interest!"
Lol! He'll yea!
I been listening to this suit for almost a decade and it really does ignite the chip on my shoulder.
Like wtf? Life is not a Disney movie where you find a partner then the two of you go on living happily ever after.
But I'm sure glad it isn't like that
what i'm tired of hearing is "At least you have a job". This phrase pisses me off, when you work at Walmart it is almost better not having a job. especially in America where they will pay for your food and your house and they are better off then I am working
If little shit like this bothered me then I've got bigger problems. Needlessly to say I'm not bothered at all, thanks for caring. It's nice sentiment, tell me something I don't know.
Couple more to add:
"North Korea still has GREAT Pho!"
"Gasoline has only been around 100 years, bro."
"Bubblegum can work as a condom in a pinch."
"Don't vote Democrat, just buy more pepper!"
I'm single but none of this stuff bothers me. But I understand if people said if all the time it would
I'm with you, I'm tired of hearing this things. I've been single for 5 years and I've heard this many times.
I get 3 of these statements
You are such a catch
It will happen when you less expect it
But your so great, how can you be single
:/ it gets to you sometime
(smiling)
"Conformist society" won't ever understand my life.
I have come to accept this and no longer get angry.
Bi-grrrl-serial-dater-for life right here.
Uggghhh yes. Like, fuck y'all, you want me in a relationship more than I do.
Because I -400% want to be in a relationship.
