WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT ASK SINGLE WOMEN

Shaming singles is something that stubbornly continues, and often it happens very subtly. The asker doesn't even have to mean any harm but is often completely unaware that he or she is, pardon, an asshole. So, the following questions? Never EVER ask anyone again. Thank you.

“So tell me, how is life on Tinder? Can I take a look?”

Is often asked by people who are in a relationship that started before dating apps came into the world. They have never used them, and you poor lonely single have of course. So how is that? That world?

“Maybe you should be a little less picky.”

The dumbest of all. You don't have to be less picky at all, others just need to be as fun as you. Or even better: more fun.

“How's your love life?”

I always found that such a stupid question. If there was a rosy story to tell, you would have known it by now.

“Tell me a nice story about a terrible date?”

Especially when you're sitting at a table with several couples, it can easily happen that you get stuck with the role of the single girl and have to provide the boring couples with your so-called super duper wild adventurous single life. This is pure schadenfreude. Don't go along with it.

“I know a nice someone for you!”

Um, why would I even WANT that? Settled people always think that “single” is the only trait someone needs to have to fit with you.

“Don't worry, you'll meet someone eventually.”

I'M not worried, YOU are worried. Leave me alone.

“Fortunately, you don't have annoying in-laws to go to.”

?!?!?!?!?!???!?!?!
