Is what an older woman asked me tonight when I told her I'd been single for a very long time!! Seriously I have never heard that from a female before! Men yes!
I feel quite insecure about it now. Even though I know I have legitimate reasons and it shouldn't make me less than somehow and cognitive dissonance has come into play.
I shortly after started thinking there was something wrong with me and that I shouldn't be single at my age :-/ Even though I know I'm happy as I am. Damn I hate these parts!
Funny how no one says this to men after a certain age.
My response to this comment is, deadpan, matter-of-fact,
"Everything." blank stare
I have done this twice, and each time the other person has looked so uncomfortable 😂
Honestly... I often think the same in the reverse situation.
Don't let it get to you. Marriage and being in a romantic relationship doesn't mean much when most relationships seem very LV.
Was that woman married by any chance? Maybe you should ask her how married life is treating her.
I cackle and say "Oh they keep trying." I leave it at that and refuse to elaborate. Drives people nuts.
Whats wrong with her for being so threatened and triggered by you choosing to remain single???
Misery loves company. Don’t let an elder PickMe steal your joy, Queen. 🫂
Just know that she is in a deadbedroom with a husband she can't get to stop watching barely legal teen porn who doesn't contribute to the household chores 😀
If you're a betting woman you'll know I'm correct. Don't let it get to you. She'll divorce her scrote husband, eventually, and won't remarry for some reason...
I find it so disrespectful when I'm asked why I haven't been spoken for and I can't even answer it because they come with another question that is none of their business and wonder If I want to stay alone. A lot of these disgusting pickme women don't understand that no woman wants to be alone but I don't want to end up with some scrote who is nothing but a parasite and makes a baby mama out of me before he leaves.
As bad at it seems to be alone, Being alone is not so bad when a scrote didn't had a chance to ruin you.
Also did she ask about your relationship status? If so tell her to piss off
If not then It's could be a good idea to move in mysterious ways. Don't say anything so that the pickme's will keep on guessing.
"What's wrong with you?"
Oh, I have standards, and self-esteem.
Look - misery loves company. There's a reason it's always married people (women) saying this to single women. It's never other single women saying this to you. I have never been asked anything like this by a single woman. Want to know why? Those single women were HAPPY. And men say it to you as a form of patriarchal social control. They absolutely do not care if you are "lonely" or whatever. Has nothing to do with it. They want you under another man's thumb - or theirs.
Another version of this is
"Single whyy??!! But you're so pretty! I don't believe men will ever treat you bad"
“I have standards” has always been my go-to and always makes these types suuuuper ass-mad. Time it as you walk away for no chance at response and it’s perfect.
