30. Does anyone out there realize how much shit people get for being single?
Its a status that always needs to be defended. I can't count how many times I've been asked- "How come you're not married?" OR "I can't figure out why you're not married" as if they've carefully examined me and haven't found the single flaw large enough to make every man in the world reject me. It never occurs to them that being single is a choice for some of us.

And imagine how rude we would be considered if we said to someone "How come you're married? Are you just desperately afraid to be alone?" That would be really rude, wouldn't it.
