Is being single a bad thing?

That is a lie. If you met me and some friends of my you'd have to eat your words. STOP STEREOTYPING.

This article is one of the most blatantly STUPID articles that I have EVER come across. I am SO tired or EVERY writer BLAMING the women for each and every reason as to WHY women are single and not married! It only takes a little bit of psychology/understanding the differences between HOW men and women think and bit of good "old fashion common sense" to realize that "once again" THIS writer, and others like her are part of the "blame the victim" in this case, women again! Does anyone one bring up the reasons as to WHY women PREFER to be single as compared to "serialized relationships that lead to nowhere but heartache?" Women are taught to believe from childhood on to "blame themselves" for each and every problem. You always hear this coming from women, "If only I did……It must be MY problem! Well! the writer of this article needs to see that there ARE some women out there that ACTUALLY believe and live the concept of self worth and having or NOT having a mate or husband has NOTHING to do with them but things that men commonly practice on women such as 1. blaming women for things going wrong in relationships 2. Compartmentalizing and rationalizing to suit their goals/needs 3. The "old fashion" concepts that are mostly gone, especially in relationships, of INTEGRITY and COMMITMENT! I have NOT seen from this author any indication that MEN are part of the problem! Nothing is more of a "turn off" to women then PRIDE and ARROGANCE and from the description of her reasons of one to ten…….YOU Could use these same ten reasons as an explanation as to WHY many college educated, self educated and professing Christians (or other religions!) prefer BEING single over "serial relationships" with NO basis of commitment! The "old adage" of "why buy the cow, when you can get the milk free" still holds even in today's society. You would think that "living together" would produce more solid relationships but the Stanford University's study that the majority of "live in couples" (60%) break up with five years and they marry someone else…….that cohabiting couples are more prone to divorce……that cohabiting couples are more prone to "domestic violence!" All I see is one writer who simplifies everything and again is "blaming the victim" for everything! Some of her observations are correct, ie "can't shut-up etc. But men want "brainless women" to stroke their ego CONSTANTLY but NEVER give back to their relationships. Hey! marriages are a process and it takes hard work. I never saw any mention of that in her reasons! Until women come across men who truly want to GIVE to their relationships and NOT blame their partners for not getting his way……until women meet men who show RESPECT for women, and that even means "sucking it up" when they are wrong!……until women meet men who are willing to commit themselves and put that attitude of commitment into practice I can see a lot of women who will live single lives without any reservation or regret! It is "disgusting" that in today's society you still see 60 year old men divorced or single still living out the "swinger philosophy". An old saying goes……"There is nothing worse than an OLD FOOL! Self Respect, Integrity, commitment are sorely missing in today's cultures and this has produced a nation of Men with "whiny" attitudes towards women and a nation of ME first attitude, be women or men in general!
