how to be single
(This is Inspired by Cynthia Nixon’s video ”Be a Lady They Said” and Shane Silver’s book “A Single Revolution”. I highly suggest checking both of them out. I also talk about men in this because this is based on things that I have heard in real life or in media catered to women who like men. Many of these are things all genders hear, some might be things only women who like men hear.)
(cw: mentions of violence and sexual abuse, body image issues)
how to be single:
so pay attention:
think about how you could find your soulmate every second of every day.
after all, that is what your life is about when you are single.
no one is coming to knock on your door and give you a relationship,
it’s your responsibility to stop your singleness.
stop stressing,
it’ll happen when you least expect it.
treat it like it is your job.
because it is.
don’t tell them that you got promoted.
surely you want to become a wife and a mother.
when you stop looking for it, that’s when it finds you.
it’s a numbers game;
the more dates you go on, the more opportunities you have to find them.
what if the next date is your soulmate?
what if the next date is the one that makes you end up on the news?
surely you don’t want to end up single?
surely you don’t want to end up dead?
you don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard,
men don’t like that.
be chill. be a cool girl.
if you’re not, they’ll find someone who is.
don’t wear that.
leave something to the imagination.
you don’t want to look like a slut.
you were asking for it.
who would want to marry someone like that?
don’t wear that either.
you have to show them what you’ve got.
men are visual creatures.
you don’t want them to think you’re a prude.
maybe you should lose weight if you feel that some men only want women who look like models.
no one likes bones.
visual creatures.
why are you so obsessed with finding someone?
enjoy your single life.
I have someone who would be perfect for you,
what’s the harm in seeing them?
but he’s so amazinggggg.
you have to love yourself first.
find hobbies that you like.
not everything is about a partner.
people in relationships do not think about it as much as you do.
go outside for once,
you can’t find them in your books.
men don’t like women who are too confident,
they want to feel like they have the power.
you should lower your standards,
they are only men after all.
I trust my man but not single women;
they don’t know boundaries.
I saw that look.
why don’t you want to spend time with me and my boyfriend?
he’s the most important thing in my life.
why would you go out with someone like that?
god, I wish I were still single and free to go on many dates.
it seems so “sex and the city”.
well, you obviously pick the wrong men.
they don’t deserve you.
men should never say that to you.
why on earth would you think he would be a decent guy?
he is an obvious red flag.
why did you go to their place?
that’s so dangerous, you don’t even know them.
you can live in a smaller place because you live alone.
a single bed shows that you aren’t ready for commitment.
get like a pet or something.
what are you spending your money on?
go on as many dates as you can.
two dates a week.
three dates a week.
dates in bars are the best.
why don’t you have money for my wedding?
i can’t come to your birthday,
you’ll understand when you find someone.
women should never have to pay.
you offered to split the bill, right?
enjoy your single years,
someone is just around the corner.
we can find your soulmate for you.
you liked a popular user.
upgrade your like to a superlike.
to a rose.
