That thread is insane. Mostly sensible replies thankfully but this guy can’t watch TV as he is single and has nobody to talk to about it?! (Or ‘do commentary’ as he calls it 🥴)

Just go on twitter to comment about the show and shut up harlemshake. Jesus.

On one hand, I get what he means about friends having other priorities with their spouses/kids etc., but I really hope I never become this reliant on having a partner that I can't even watch tv without someone to hold my hand. I kind of wonder how his marriage ended and how his ex wife feels about single life tbh.

I hadn't realised it was a guy. I have quite a few older friends and one of their biggest complaints is how their husbands have no friends and are constantly hanging around them and even show up when they're meeting their friends for coffee. Imagine! 😬

So what he means is he has no one to talk AT while they’re trying to watch tv. Sounds pretty annoying tbh.

I can’t imagine being this narrow minded. To say we ALL need a partner because HE desperately wants one. I don’t understand this mindset at all.

Men do badly when single but women are happier and live longer. But then most of us can watch tv without needing someone to bore with our ‘commentary’

You know when people say ‘just live how you want, stop ramming it down our throats, nobody cares if you’re single or childfree’ etc., well that post is proof that they absolutely do. Literally saying our lives are worthless 🤣

I get pissed off with people always wondering what's wrong with you cos you're not with someone! 🙄
I was told at Christmas about 3 guys who worship the ground I walk on and I've just to say the word. They're all married. 🙄
I felt like a prize heifer being discussed by the family (males) at Christmas.

I’m happily single and vegan and I feel like both those things make people react so defensively for no reason. Men especially.

Men cannot comprehend that a woman might not feel the need for meat...

One thing I struggle with is that I do generally take a pretty dim view of men as a whole these days - based on my own experiences, what I hear from others, and broader societal themes (not to mention violence against women and girls). I do genuinely like men less overall now than I did a few years ago. I personally think it's justified, but I also worry that in thinking and saying that, I'm "just as bad as them". I don't want to be a female incel (and don't get me wrong I'm definitely definitely not) but do you know what I mean? It's not OK for men to say they don't like women, but I have to admit I'm more anti-man than I used to be and that's a big part of why I want to be single.

Obviously not ALL men... but finding an exception is like finding a needle in a haystack and I can't be arsed! Is that terrible? I'm totally open to challenge on this.

I hate how threatened men are by women. Say for instance if your toolbox is better than theirs, or you're good at DIY, car mechanics etc.
Also where you could be having a perfectly nice conversation, but all the while it's like they think you're talking in code to them. So they assume you're after them by something innocent you say, and they suddenly lunge and pounce on you.🙄

I just feel men aren’t masculine enough these days. Like, solve a problem, drive something forward. I’m not interested in anything less & they appear to be wet lettuces & more of a hinderance, in which case I’m fine on my own!

I stayed single for years for multiple reasons. Then a friend I much liked asked me for a date, it was casual then not casual, he did anll the pursuing. I thought we fell in love and he hurt me so badly I don’t think I’ll ever date again.
