Why is it that when a woman is single, she is independent, and when a man is single, he is a looser?

Because of the way we see ourselves. Single men tend to see themselves as losers while single women tend to see themselves as independent.

There are added aspects of course, and everyone's situation is different. Women are more likely to be voluntarily single than men will. Most men would choose to be dating someone they're not super into over being happy on their own.

The amount of people who actually view men and women like that are insignificant.

It usually depends on how the man looks and why he's single.. Same with the woman I suppose.. I guess being single for a woman is viewed as her being independent from a man, whereas a single man can be viewed as not being able to get a woman if he's single..

That’s because social standards are pointless, labels are made by social media. You date for a year and are single for 2 months and become a loser, lol that’s how pointless it is. Labels do not apply to those that don’t want them.

I don't care about labels that people who contribute nothing to my life try to pin on me.

That's true

Well said. Unless it’s coming from someone we trust and/or respect, there’s no need to heed them.

Honestly same. Only way to live in my opinion.

I wouldn’t put much thought into people’s preconceived notions about relationship status. Especially people who haven’t been single in a very long time.

A man’s value is from how much a he provides and gives to a women

Because of the way society views men versus women.
