Everyone is hyped about celebrating Valentine's Day, but what do you think about Singles Day? In my country IT is most often celebrated on 15th February and people WHO are not in a relationship sometimes buy themselves presents or wish each other Happy Singles Day. How do you celebrates this day?
To me that’s just sad. It’s like a coping mechanism. A lot of people would rather be in a relationship ship, especially women. Maybe men not so much a looted venom w just smashing. I think this “holiday” as well as a lot of other things are made up by women to make theirselves feel better about things like this. Such as plus size models, calling men fat phobic for not dating them, etc. Here in the states you hear about Galentine’s day, guess it’s the equivalent to singles day. But I just think it’s sad. It’s like that song by Mikey Cyrus, sure it’s a catchy tune but being able to buy her own flowers or hold her own hand, that’s just pathetic. Like she’s trying to cope making it seem as though she’s not bothered by her situation.
I didn't know that was a thing honestly. But honestly I don't need a day for that I can buy myself something whatever I want. Also for me personally I find no reason to celebrate being single, some love it and that is ok but I rather not be, this is not me being sad about it.
I celebrate it every year! :)
No, there is no shame, nor is it "sad" (no pun intended) to celebrate singles awareness day- if couples can celebrate being together, why can't singles celebrate being happy and single? Or have an excuse to buy half off candy without feeling guilty...
Good for those of you that are happily taken, married, or in relationships. But guess what- singles need and deserve love too- even if we have to give it to ourselves. Let us have our day in peace and we'll stop judging you for needing one day out of the year to spoil and show your partner you care for them.
I met my now husband lol a friend of mine invited me to her congergation and it just like any normal day just relaxing I bump in to my now husband ice tea spill all over my dress lol he was so imbaressed while I kept on laughing non stop later he made a joke well I guess now you have a good excuse to go shopping and get yourself a new dress oh wait I owe you a dress. That's when it all started lol now married

u I understand that some people are happy being single and they prefer living alone. I'm not one of those people. And most adults who are not in a relationship wish they were in a relationship; they would rather not wake up alone and go to sleep alone. So, it sounds like this holiday is a consolation prize for people who had nothing to celebrate on Valentine's Day.
I've never heard of this day before. Not sure what you'd do besides treating yourself to leftover Valentine's Day candy. Unless you arrange to meet other singles & go on dates with them (if you're a single person that wants a partner that is).
I didn’t know there was such a day but I buy stuff for myself whenever I want, I’m not single by choice but seems to be how it usually is for me. I would like to be with someone again but so far it’s gotten worse out there
Well, that must be boring.
You registered as being in the United States, but the actual Single's Day is a Chinese unofficial holiday. And it is normally celebrated on November 11th (1111 being four singles). Singles Day is celebrated by unmarried people in China and is known for being the largest online shopping event in the world.
Nor something I am into.
Everyday is Singles day to me. I don't have FB to witness how people are in love anymore. So it's less depressing. If kids and cats love me, that would be enough. One thing I just would like to beg some women who finally found a husband: please be kind and don't single-shame others. It makes me wonder how these c... minds are loved?
is there also a "it's complicated day"? "divorced day"? "widowed day"? "domestic relationship day"? "situationship day"? "friends with benefits day"? it's all rather stupid.
It seems odd to congratulate people for being the default. Being single is more of a condition. It may be the best option for many right now, but it’s certainly not the preferred for the overwhelming majority.
🤦🏻♂️You have got to be kidding? It's stupid. People are single these days because of sin, not necessarily the sin of you, but perhaps of everyone else.
I celebrate when I can get discounted snacks
I have been single for 4 years, you get used to it after some time ngl.
That sounds cool to have a Singles Day. Someday I hope it catches on in the Western countries 😔😉
I don't care for holidays and that includes my birthday.
I think Singles Day would be great if there was events aimed at well well single people to meet each other? Otherwise I feel like its just pointless to pat yourself on the back praising yourself for being alone.
Another "day"? Do you realize these days are just more days companies create to commercialize literally every aspect of our lives?
As someone who was single for many years I'd have found this horrendous. Who wants to be reminded they're single.
I didn't know that existed tbh, not sure I can do something so pathetic tho tbh
Sounds like it's for losers. In this day and age w/ all the options out there if you can't find a chick for one day you've got issues.
I just don’t care about it. I’m happy for all the lucky men who are able to have a girlfriend in this day and age. For the rest of us, it’s just coping 24/7
u never heard of it
