What's wrong with being single?

Why do people make such a big deal out of a girl being single in her 20s? Honestly, i'm a cute girl and i get hit on often BUT i'm extremely picky and refuse to date someone that doesn't meet my standards of decency. (respectful, funny, etc) Even though i have these very attainable standards my female friends who have a fear of being single think that i'm lonely. I'm not lonely at all...i truly believe i'd rather be single and happy then in a relationship and miserable. I've dated guys but when i'm going through my single phase everyone seems to think it is a problem. What is up with the stigma of being a 21 year old single woman?

People are crazy. Just ignore them and keep being picky- and enjoy the freedom of singleness! Chances are in the end you will get a really great guy, while they are dealing with all the misery created by their loser boyfriends.
Reply:nothing at all... it sounds like you're more secure than your friends are... just enjoy it and don't listen to them, being single in your 20s is probably the best time to have lots of fun.. :)
Reply:In different cultures a woman being single is bad because how on earth can she look after herself? After all is is only a woman.


I am a single woman and i agree with you 100% why be in a relationship and be unhappy when you can be single and extremely happy.
Reply:People have this idea that after you graduate from HS you are supposed to find a man and have babies. I'm married with no kids and everyone feels sorry for us because we don't have kids. I'm like you, I like life the way that it is, but people can't understand that because it isn't right in their minds.


Enjoy your life!
Reply:there is absolutely nothing wrong with being single. If you are happy there is no problem. The people that seem to think there is something wrong have the problem, maybe it is envy.
Reply:I don't think there is anything wrong with it. But nothing personal, you think you've got a stigma now in your 20s, just wait until you see 30 or 40 being single. I think you sound pretty confident in that fact that you should have no worries but I totally understand where you are coming from. I don't get what people's problems are. If you are OK with it, that's all that matters. Don't let other people influence your mojo! Have fun %26amp; enjoy being single!!!!

Reply:Nothings wrong with you! The whole dating thing is overrated. Their is no experation deadline when to have children, or finding the right man. Take your time, and you have your whole life to do these things.
Reply:Man or woman, there's nothing wrong with being single. I've been single for over three years and I'm twenty-five. People with low self-esteem complain about being single more than people with healthy self-esteem. It is best for both people to be emotionally healthy before beginning a relationship.

Reply:You are young enjoy the single life. You will know when mr. right comes along. You need some single friends who understand.
Reply:No problem at all. You are a cool nice girl.


I am a 30 yr single woman, pretty, sweet and professional, and I don't care about what others think, I don't think I need to waste my time with those not worth.


Recently I met this guy really nice, we are into each other much, I know this is what I want.


So being single is nothing wrong, you just need to be open to love and be loved, but never being with someone just because you don't want to be a single. Single is cool, being with someone you love is great.
Reply:Absolutely nothing, more power to you. I think it's great you are waiting for the right person and that you are picky. Stay that way. You are way to young to settle down anyway.......I wish more young women would think like you. You are smart cookie.....stay that way.
