Guys: What do you honestly think about girls who are happily single?

[Anonymous]

I'm naturally quite an independent person in the sense that I have my own life and interests going on, and I don't feel the need to always have a significant other to make me complete. In fact, I've been pretty happily single for about two years now. Of course it would be nice to find someone, but I'm fine with just living my life and waiting until someone I really like comes along. Most of my close friends share a similar attitude to me, so I've never felt odd in thinking this way. However, I recently started a new job where it seems likely literally ALL my coworkers talk about is dating, relationships, and finding love. Most of them don't know I'm single, so I often overhear them shitting on and being condescending towards single people, and saying things like "Don't worry, you won't be alone forever!" to people who just broke up, like being single is an inherently inferior, pathetic state of being that you must fight to get out of at all costs. Can I just ask... is this sort of attitude appealing? Like do people genuinely look down on me for being single? Should I feel more self-conscious than I am? Do guys prefer it when girls are desperate to be in a relationship?

I personally kinda find it annoying when girls say they are happy being single but that's more probably because they just aren't interested in the guy and that's an easy excuse. If you actually do meet someone you are interested in, don't let that bullshit mindset cock block you from something you are potentially interested in. People can be happy single but the truth really is that if they met someone they liked, that happy being single shit goes right out the window... so basically you might be happy in the meantime, but it's more an excuse to use on guys you aren't interested in.

On the one hand, being capable of being independent and finding happiness in your life is a good thing.

On the other hand, a woman who is able to do that easily … I'd be suspecting she isn't very interested in some of the things that matter to me in a relationship.

I'd probably view it as more of a warning sign than a positive tbh.

I respect people who are not desperate. I hate desperate people. The amount of desperate men on this site irritate the fuck out of me. You clearly don’t want a relationship and that is fine. Not everyone wants a relationship some people want to be single that is perfectly okay.
