    Being single is not a sign of failure. If getting into a relationship is goal then being single doesn't mean you fail, it means you're on your way to success, and the past relationships are just part of the process.
    I've been single all my life. 22 years 😂😂

    You have to be valuable to get and keep a woman. The lack of ability to do so only displays a shortcoming on my part.

    At this point it's more of an accepted inferiority, so I don't pretend like it doesn't exist or that everything is subjective.

    There's nothing wrong with staying single. You have all your life to hold off on that, just live and not worry about controlling by someone... But yet again being in a relationship isn't bad either.

    Is it? Most young women I know are single. They're avoiding dating because they "aren't ready" and just spend their time having meaningless casual sex. What a great time to be alive for romance lovers.

    People think it's fun to be single until it's their only choice. Easy to say that being single is great, when you can pick up a chick everyday.
    It's not so great when you need love and no one wants to give you any.

    A relationship is generally seen as a sign of validation that you are desirable. I don't know what else is worth saying about it. Being single is seen as telling the world that the opposite sex doesn't find you desirable

      Also I believe people use "at lease I have a boyfriend/girlfriend" excuse to feel better about themselves. Like if that's the only thing they got that you don't have they use it because they are jealous. My sister try to pull that shit and I was snickering because it been 8 years for her and he hasn't marry her ass so why would I be jealous? and she thought she can get to me when she said my ex dump even thou the idiot didn't know that he came back a year later so her point? irrelevant.

    I feel like a failure sometimes because of failed relationships. I dont believe that marriage is the ultimate goal in life, but the fear of not being attractive enough make me have a pessimistic outlook.

    It's the default and most people don't want to be. Therefore, it's usually assumed there's a failure involved, though this is heavily bent by narratives and attitudes about men and women.
