If you're single do you feel society is looking down on you?

[coachTanthony]

yes I do

Nah single is great screw them

see poll ( Coach take me off the market )

Screw society. Don't let others tell you what to look for and how to do it. Remember they don't pay your bills nor they live with you as in a relationship. Stop caring to what others think of you. Just be you and be happy doing it. Don't get caught up on the whole society and labels like millennia, gen z, community groups that are like politics who forces you to come out like the LGBTQ community, political races, social groups etc.

There are many people that are board with their life's and decide to create groups on life. Who are they to tell you what group you belong to. Alway be you. Dress how you want, act how you want, sleep with who you want, date anyone you like both sexes, as long as it's legally and morally. Most importantly is self respect. Take care of you and don't worry about being judged. If they judge you then those are the people you don't want to be around with. If they are your friends then you need new friends and they were never your friends to began with. Stop worrying about society and start living life to the fullest.

I'm not single but I have been single for long periods of time, by choice. Here in NYC, I don't think that's the case. There are too many people focused on other things. There's even a growing reverence for being single.

I think socially at large, it's possible some people pity you or can't imagine being happy single. Some may look down on you, but in the United States, in liberal societies / large cities, I don't think there's an overwhelming amount of that, no. I think if I lived in more rural areas and some suburbs, I might feel more of that maybe.

Being single is amazing though and so important if you do it right. Being should learn to be comfortable being alone, enjoying life, building community, career, hobbies, etc. Makes for more interesting partners in the future :)

I will say, I actually do think some people in relationships are envious of single people or people without kids sometimes. Sometimes it's less about looking down and more about projecting your own misery onto someone else and wanting them to do what you did to *validate your life decisions* because you're unhappy in some way or envious of their security to do what they want to do. People do that a lot about many aspects of life.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Nah...

They're [society] too busy trying to judge and find other flaws with me to worry about my relationship status!

Society judges us for so much crap nowadays: how you look, dress, act, what job you have... basically if you exist, you're going to be judged by others. So honestly? You can't win.

I used to stress out about being single and how people thought something was wrong with me. But as you get older? People really don't care!!! Heck, I've had people in relationships tell me how lucky I am to be single and how they miss "those days." Haha.

[Mewipaws]

I think it's fine to be single but the problem starts to come when you are single for your whole life and you are getting older. I get comments from people that I should start to find someone or talk to more people. As a guy, I tend to get labelled as a walking red flag for being evergreen because they think I am a weirdo where no girl shows interest in me.

Personally, Idc if someone is single or not. Why should I look down on someone based on their relationship status? That's not a fair comparison.

[misfittoy]

no

im so far ahead of most their opinions are null and void. have a career, a car, just was able to not only purchase but pay off my first home, so im good. those who do judge me are the ones with skewed perceptions of relationships who jump from person to person having tons of kids along the way by those different partners, yeh im more then good.

[RolandCuthbert]

I don't get it. Being single is the fad now. People are shunning marriage. I can't really blame men or women for doing the single life. But I don't see how any single person could be mocked seeing the success rate of American marriages.

[coachTanthony]

Yeah not a lot of success for sure.

[MCheetah]

Yes I do, but screw 'em anyways.

Women are worst at making single men feel inferior, by calling them "incels," "sad little virgins," "losers who can't get laid," and the like. Yet any man who did that to any woman would be called a misogynist, by both genders.

[NathanDavis]

no... I don't "feel" that way

and to be honest, "society" does not care either lmao... about my current status as an individual

I'm just single at the moment... not carrying the bubonic plague wherever I go, lol...

[hahahmm]

Only in the sense that when I was single... you can't hang out with couples. Couples want to hang out with other couples. A single person is often seen as a threat in some ways.. or a 5th wheel.

In countries like South Asia. If you’re single by 30. It’s too bad. Society will feel that one hasn’t grown up yet. Society believes that no one can take away the rights of the body and purpose of the body, purpose of being in a respectful society and as we all have one, we must respect, obey and do what is needed as any living body doing on the planet. So it’s important for one to get married and have kids. As woman would have shorter eggs and men will have week sperms as a body gets older.


In western countries they’re okay the way they want to live.

[Emiliamazing]

I don't think society looks down on singles as a whole. I would think those who are single are due to patience or choosing to not throw themselves into a challenging dating scene might be respected. Those who lie and cheat of use others during a shallow relationship are likely looked down upon.

[lilyanony1]

I'm single and my longest relationship was a fail.
As for now there are people that assume I'm a slag. I have needs I also want to meet someone so I date.
Ohwell... It is what it is, I'm not going yo stop living

[midnightmoon05]

No. Don’t really care how society look at me.
I just knew by certain time, I want to have a partner and I went out and met people.

[nrm736]

I do feel that. Our government's monetary program is highly based on romanticizing marriage and kids so much that it's techically demonizing the opposite.

Our president Katalin Novák recently stated that "We have ensure that those who don't have kids won't do well financially." Lovely.

[Sour-rose]

I never regret, waking up in the morning, not being touched by some bastard or having some bastard to worry about leaving at night and not being there in the morning. So i'd say being single is pretty good

[BlueScorpio]

U don't think so, I don't think anyone cares if you're single or not. Maybe your inner circle will start to wonder, usually parents at some point might ask when you'll bring someone home lol 😆

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, most times I feel like I'm looking down on society, but not because of relationship status, mostly because of rampant stupidity.

[LarryTheLunarLunatic]

Ditto, Agreed!

[LarryTheLunarLunatic]

Yes, Im part of society and Im looking down on me, (so to say) . looking down on me as the phrase goes, not literally, that picture made me laugh.

[Rockstarrrrr]

I think that only happens online or when friends are goofing around and teasing you

[AngryCarl]

Not really but then I don't give it much thought. Relationships come and go but we all die alone.

[msc545]

A little bit, yes, but women in the US are so difficult and dangerous that I feel I am better off single.

[fantasticass]

I'm single, I really don't care what 'society ' has to say. Do your own vibe, and stay single. I've had more fun single than in a relationship. ✌🇨🇦

[CuriousMufuxka]

Yes, but they're already looking down at their shitty relations.. er I mean jobs!

[PetiteBabe64]

Society Looks down on everyone and everything. Humans are hardwired to make Judgments.
