First, it's rude and none of your business. Second, not everyone desires to be in a relationship. Third, maybe they do want a relationship, but haven't found the right person yet. Fourth, don't make a single person feel like there is something wrong with them for that. Just because you settled and aren't happy, doesn't mean we should do the same.

When a man is single, no woman wants them. When a woman is single, she doesn't want any men.
Men and pickmes know that they're negging when they ask why a woman is single. They're trying to be assholes on purpose by pointing out that there must be something wrong with the woman in question. They're hoping that this will make her feel bad and/or force her to settle. I refuse to go down the weaponised incompetence trail and believe that they're juat being naïve.
Anyone who asks you this deserves an equally stupid response (e.g/ turning the same question back on them or asking 'why is someone in a relationship with you?' If they're in one) followed by block and delete if it's appropriate.
”are you single?”
”why? Do you have someone for me?”
”no.”
I do not engage in this conversation but this captures the tenor. Why ask this question?
I def ask this question about men (in my head). I think it’s so odd that these articles ignore context- women and men are single for very different reasons.
Huh this is the pickme from my last post lol
