If you heard that someone my age hasn't had a significant other yet, without having seen or interacted with them, what would be your assumption?

[Anonymous]

Depends on if it a man or woman

They must be not good looking

That there weren't good enough people for them

They lack confidence/social skills

They are oblivious or are bad at recognizing when people are interested in them

Something's missing or lacking in their personality

Wouldn't think anything

Someone your age? So 25 to 29.
It’s pretty common to be single at that age these days.
Maybe you had a nasty breakup and haven’t moved on yet.
Maybe you put all your effort into your education and career
Maybe you just haven’t tried your luck with enough women yet.


It’s not automatically a red flag. But if you walk around with a chip on your shoulder as though you’re a failure for not having partner and no one will love you because you don’t love yourself then that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.


So forget what anyone thinks of anything.
Just manifest the good you want to see in the world

No assumption.
None of my business would just figure when the person's ready they're ready and till then they're not it's a choice

We hear it all the time on here, but no one ever listens to any advice, they just keep asking the same questions over and over. Anyone can chance their life for the better if they want to. If you don't do anything to change, nothing will improve.

I wouldn't think anything. None of my business.

It's either "They must be not good looking" or "They lack confidence/social skills"... or maybe just shyness.

But it all depends on if it a man or woman - it's easier for women even if they are shy or lack confidence.

Shyness and/or low confidence.
