I am sick and tired of being looked down upon, because I am a single female. When I am asked what my relationship status is, and I utter that six letter word; single, the pity parties begin. I hope you realize that I am the happiest I’ve been in years, and I live my life, according to me… I don’t need a “significant other” to feel complete, and neither should you! I look to me to make myself happy, and I think it’s time you do also. If you are constantly depending on others to make you feel complete, then you will always be searching, never feeling fulfilled and will always be let down… “The Happiness Train” starts here; with me! I am not implying I want to be alone forever, but right now, this phase of my life; I am content with my own company. —Yours Truly, Single White Female

omg, you actually like yourself, what is wrong with you^^
good for you o.p., us guys need all the unmarried ass we can get, hint, hint.
I’m right where you are OP. I chose to leave my last relationship. I choose to not get into another one right now and i will eventually choose to be very choosy in choosing another partner if i decide that i even want one. I certainly don’t right now.
Being single is awesome. It’s like an endless fucking summer camp.
You go girl! 🙂
*snaps a Z*
The only people who condemn a woman for being single are those who are as miserable as shit and, most likely, unhappily attached. You go, girl!
I was wondering when Lord Suckulous would chime in. 😛
I feel for ya, girlfriend. Single women *are* subtlety discriminated against. I didn’t get married until I was 34, and I remember the speculation that I was ‘on the prowl’ from co workers…”better a lobster in your bed than no husband” (old Scottish adage)
haha, i haven’t heard that one in a while. people are uncomfortable when you don’t want/like the same things they do, it’s kinda creepy
Xen – you could always amend that other old saying:
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush to: A bird with a bush is better than doing it by hand

I could have written this bitch! I’m starting to learn I really don’t like many aspects of being a relationship at all. Although most people don’t seem to mind that I’m single or pity me ;D. I find I almost have the same reaction you’re talking about when someone mentions they aren’t single. I think, “Oh you poor thing!”
Good for you OB! One should feel complete without an other – it is those who don’t, who are constantly on the hunt for a boyfriend or girlfriend to “complete” themselves, that end up being a shit show, sooner or later.
Though I must say, it’s been months since I’ve had the chance at being a cunninglinguist, and I am (starving) starting to go insane! lol
cunninglinguist=awesome
Wasn’t Tommy in a movie called Single White Female? I think he had a pretty major role.

that was your best one so far
BAHAHAHAHA.
Ok, zilla, cop — who *are* you — we all know you’re a regular ’round these parts! You HAVE to be!
Thanks Purplefire… the best low calorie snack there is 😉 haha
dartmouthy, that deffinately has to be pussy. no calories, and you can eat all you want.poor seb.
I am happily married, but I could list a whole boat load of reasons not to do the same thing I did, there are definitely reasons to do both. Can’t live with them, Can’t live without them is so true in this case.
Damn right LD… I’m hungry and it’s been wayyy too long haha.
Sorry if that sounds pervy but goddamn!!
If it sounds pervy Dartmouthy, I must be pervy too haha When I read it was thinking two months is too long to have gone without experiencing it!
oh my, it’s getting mighty steamy in here
mfw this just got super weird and overly sexual

My bad PG!
**sigh** 🙂
i like you just the way you are, pf…feck, that sound like a joel song. nice one lizard person, the third spiderman
Zilla actually posted a link that didn’t have Tommy’s face shopped into it? Lame. 😛
Although PG, my reply was a lot better than what I was going to say in response to Dartmouthy haha
Good for you OP, you deserve to he happy. You’ll be even happier when you stop caring about what other people think or how other people feel, and don’t have feel like you have to prove to other that you’re happy. When people ask and you reply and they make those condescending, underhanded remarks just smile and don’t argue, because then people think you’re “protesting too much” and hiding your misery or loneliness or whatever.
People are never going to understand how others do things that they can’t see themselves doing, or how someone can be happy in a situation that wouldn’t make them happy. It took me a long time to be able to peacefully disagree with people and not try to make them see things the way I do. No sense trying to explain to these people why you like being single, it’s like trying to convince a bible thumper there’s no god. No matter how many logical arguments you present, they believe what they believe. They’ve made up their minds that committed relationships are the only road to happiness.
I like being single better than I liked being in a relationship, neither are ideal. I’m a firm believer in working on yourself and loving yourself and letting the rest happen on its own.
I could go on but you get the idea.
Zilla, find a pic of someone beating a dead horse and put my face on it.
Do tell Purple Fire… do tell 😉

haha let’s just say it wasn’t a g-rated proposition! haha
has anyone else noticed, that the avatars have a nice colour palette going on
I’m single and looking. I don’t see a problem with anyone who prefers to remain single. I never understood why women who are single are regarded as having some sort of pathetic disease. Some people are just happier on their own, or content to remain just as they are. I think that’s great. I also hate the assumption that a woman in her 30’s who is dating must be desperate and will latch onto the nearest available male. That is also not the case.
I would recommend staying away from online dating sites to any woman that DOES want to start looking around again. That is just a fucking mess!
PG … we’re creating the rainbow … you know, the one that should replace the mall.
I’ve given up men for 2012 as a way to simplify my life. I had an “ahha!” moment last Thursday and made it a resolution. So far I’m still ok with it so *thumbsup*
You keep on keepin’ on, OB!
Hey Voice of Treason….If that’s you in your picture then I’d give ya a spank on the bum and call you Susan if you catch my drift.
PK….I’m about 52% sure I know you.
lol is that right hfx. well that’s not quite what i’m looking for but yes, it’s 100% me in the picture
WHAT PK?!! *sobs uncontrollably*
All joking aside….I’d do ya.
Ummm how would you know me, ‘zilla?
:|
Sounds like the crazy cat lady found TheCoast.
Well, exceptions can be made to everything, Thomas 😉
gee thanks zilla. If I ever sink low enough to need random stranger hook ups from the ltwwb section I’ll keep that in mind.
Anytime PurpleFire!! xx (those are special kisses for you know where!) lol
Voice of Treason….That was a compliment so don’t take it the wrong way.
Seriously though, you and a giant lizard….I think I speak for everyone here when I say that you + zilla = pleasure town.
VoT … I hear ya on those who think that just because a woman is single, she’s also desperate. Like all of the married men who I suddenly started to hear from as soon as they knew I was single and they wanted a little something on the side. And all of the guys that want to hang out and be ‘friends’ but then decide they want to fuck you too, even though you’ve told them you don’t wanna go there. Dudes … offer your peen to someone else … me and my treasure don’t want it … and if we did, you wouldn’t have to ask because I don’t play games and I’d make my intentions very clear.
And, OB … next time tell them that you just don’t know what else to do … you’ve exhausted your last option of finding a man when you danced naked in your window for days and weeks on end and it didn’t produce a suitor … so you’ll just have to wait a while and wallow in misery … or die alone as an old crazy cat lady. 😉 Jerks.
“Like all of the married men who I suddenly started to hear from as soon as they knew I was single and they wanted a little something on the side.”
Cheese and rice tell me about it! (or men with girlfriends, I get that too).
It’s so disrespectful and offensive that I just want to punch these men in the face. I’m no one’s cum dumpster (because that’s all they want you for — a cum dumpster and nothing more), so just fuck right off, assholes!
And the assumption that I *might* agree to it — that I’m THAT type of person is just as disrespectful and offensive.
Well, you can see why I’m afraid of being single again…
on a happier note, I smashed the chocolate orange and made cookies. Pretty good, too-I used grand marnier instead of vanilla extract…
PK … I’m a live music addict and I stopped going out for that because of the unwanted attention (male and sometimes female). I was okay if I went to a specific pub and a friend of mine was working … I’d hang out with him and the guys would think we were a couple and leave me alone; or if a certain band was playing (I know some of the guys) I’d hang off to the side of the stage and everyone would think I was with them. It didn’t stop the advances, but did minimize them. Hell, I even tried going out in old sneakers, yucky jeans and sweat shirt with my hair in a sloppy ponytail … that didn’t even keep them away.
Being single is great … but it definitely has some undesirable aspects. And, don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely not a snobbish, think I’m all that, man hater … but sometimes a girl just wants to hang without being hit on. Sorry … I just needed to get that out of my system.
Agreed on the supposedly committed dudes tryin to get their creep on. Grow some balls and dump your girlfriend. Real men are honest with themselves and others.
I used to feel sorry for my single divorced mother because I thought maybe she was lonely, but I told her that and she said she wasn’t lonely and likes having her house and her time to herself, basically, independence. After being in a relationship for almost 10 years now, I can appreciate that sentiment more.
PK, I’ll be YOUR cumdumpster anytime 😉
I believe in equality and equal opportunity… no reason a man can’t be a sex slave too hehe 🙂
Sorry I’m just being silly today, I don’t mean to offend anyone
LOL @dartmouthy … hitting on two different women in the same bitch … dude, you really need to get laid.
LOL It’s all in fun… Dartmouthy is cracking me up! He can drop by my place anytime!!
I know right!? lol. Don’t worry ladies there is more than enough of me to go around hahaha
I’m female, 21, single and in debt. I’m ok with it!
Ain’t no thang.
Oh my thanks for humoring me purplefire. and I’d love to take you up on that offer of yours hehe 🙂
You just come on over to Halifax anytime D… I’ll be waiting!
Well I work in Halifax if you must know – see we have lots in common too. wah waah
Yeah… both of us working in Halifax IS something we have in common… along with the zillions of other people that do!! haha As long as you’re not the creepy security guard who stalks me, we’re all good!!
Sorry I was trying to make a joke about the Halifax thing… my humor doesn’t translate very well via the interweb, though I’ve got to say we were on a pretty good run up until that point! No I’m not a stalker, just a lonely single dad haha. And no one wants to date single dads…
I knew it was a joke haha clearly my humor isn’t translating LOL
I honestly have a security guard stalker though.
Lots of women date single dads. I have in the past. Don’t be down on yourself for that!
Donk I had no idea you were only 21. You seem way more mature than that. You’re cool as shit.
I like this board because unlike other internet boards I could name… for the most part the people seem real and it is fun to “engage”. And thanks 🙂
Thanks dollface. Yes, I’m but a yougin’, fresh out the womb. You seem like a cool chick as well!
I tend to agree with INFY that coupled and single both have their advantages and the grass always seems greener when you’re one or the other. I also think that women deal with singlehood much better than men. They have a stronger support network of friends and always have somebody to turn to when needed. Men do too but just less so. In my experience, that’s just the way it seems to fall.
If Love is blind, marriage restores your vision. 🙂
p.f., anytime you’re ready baby.
or any of you other dirty birdie girls lookin for a fast and furious do. the suckster takes no prisoners. but on a lighter side, me know how to give good pleasure, happy endings. but you are all too young, unfortunately, for the old horny dog, that i am. sigh.
ah yes, there is the zZz ster I was wondering when he was going to make his appearance
oops I meant LS….brain fart day
ya know pf *talks with cotton in mouth* if you’re having some difficulties with a certain person, the family might do you a favour^^
Men are only good for one thing
Yeah, Paineyunderthejoshuatree, is there a loser locator app for Halifax yet?
PS: Just saw the crossword clue “Halifax Hold” -4 letters…I’m thinking it’s not a hug?
PPS: Just got back from a shelter where we checked out a husky. IDTS…she pretty much showered us with indifference, and, well, I’ve already got cats for that!
huskies are amazing but not for everyone, plus they’re really good escape artists. is the joshua tree a cork tree? http://psnt.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/20…
I know about the huskies check this out!

Haha you peoples problems are rediculas, y’all are 12-17 and when u finally get problems, mommy is gonna be work on two jobs and unable to buy u stuff. Have fun starving 🙂
I don’t know how old you are JK… but spelling and proper grammar are definitely two major problems you have.
I’m normally quite mild mannered, but tonight I’m sick and feeling a little on the cranky side so I’m going to be a bitch … on the bitch board … fancy that! Jim Kramer … you sound like a useless fuck who I thought we had bid good riddance to … how unfortunate that we haven’t. If even a small percentage of your comments made sense … I would just chuckle at your infrequent stupidity … but, unfortunately, that’s not the case.
With the bullshit that you write, who the fuck are you to judge the problems any of us have? Frankly, you don’t even deserve the time it would take me to list any of what I’ve had to go through in the last two and a half years let alone the 39 years of my life … and trust me, it doesn’t even come close to including what pair of shoes I should buy.
So, Jim, how about you exhibit one good quality and be one who keeps his word … did you not say on December 13th that you were going to stop posting because we weren’t worth your time? Well, guess what … I’ve already given you more of my time than you’re worth. You won’t get more of it. And that is a promise.
“Frankly, you don’t even deserve the time it would take me to list any of what I’ve had to go through in the last two and a half years let alone the 39 years of my life..”
Must be where the name “persevere” comes from, is it?
Don’t mind Jim, he’s a one trick pony, just the same stuff over and over. I just greet him with nothing but cheerfulness.
Yes, Troodon, that is where the name comes from. I know what you’re saying about Jim is true. I do believe that while travelling across a bridge on the ‘high road’, I fell through a crack and into the land of bitchiness. It takes a lot of energy to stay on the high road … which I am lacking this evening.
why don’t women buy cheap ass ring(s) to wear on the left ring finger?
that’d stop at least the majority of ‘hit on’ attempts… I think.
I dunno, I think, I went out to the bars … 3 times last year… ish.
Bla bla bla, you are not special, and i do as I please , I simply will not explain and waste my time anymore, because as I’ve said before. You people are not equip to understand what is going on on this planet , you beg and pled for the world to conform to your wishes which change daily, so I’ve just stopped caring , not stopped posting. I have an actual life, and can’t post here unless im. Free. It has nothing to do with you idiots jesus lol.
Your problems, little girl are bullshit. And as I’ve stated zillions of times, im willing to meet anyone of you lazy idiots in public anytime, I love seeing you strugglewith simple ideas and then stammer, until you get angry and cry. See I believe in truth and. Fear nothing. I write this on a touch screen, and make mistakes, I don’t care, don’t read my posts, there fixedededed. Not all that glitters is gold, only shooting stars spell wrong and dont care, suck me sheep or turn around. In the decades I’ve lived, I’ve learned , nice don’t work, a firm hand and embarassment is all that works with lower life forms.
And as for the bleach blonde calling the natural man a bitch, the Cunt never falls far from the Cunt they are made in from one drunk idiot stick in his bird into some drunt Cunt trying to maneuver into a pay check. I don’t see me here complaining people ask me how my wife is, who is a man, if you had to deal with even one problem I do on a daily basis, you would commit suecide, I somehow, don’t give up like most people. Not one person ever comes up with an original idea here, it wont be much longer till real bad things start happening.
I’ll see you crying about it, things like, my rent was raised every yr for the past 5 yrs, no repairs are ever done, the tenancy board sided with the landlord and I with my family are homeless. At that time I’ll laugh and tell the idiot, I warned you ppl about this 20 yrs ago, you told me off went and got another beer ,then after getting nice and buzzed went and made another child you could not afford. See y’all condem me, but that’s only cause you are not equipt understand reality. Im kinda like the monkey on the new apes movie, im trying to teach the other monkies, but none of you have the green flecks in your eyes. Try and imagine how lonely that might be…..
holy shit… and people think I’M a psychopath…

Bla bla bla you are not special

You are, Jim.
Short bus special.

Go away if you’re going to go away.
Dipschitt.

you would commit seucide

Yes, Jim. You’re the only one who has suffered on the board(audible eyeroll).
What a sad and self-centred little man(sic) you are.
You’re not a psychopath, Zed, you’re just an asshole slash prick.
*shrug*
hahahahahahaha!
SWF….next time some dude (or dudette) asks you what your relationship status is, just ask what he/she means by “relationship”, explaining since you have relationships with so many people, the question is confusing (I’m referring to cousins, uncles, brothers, sisters, the pet parakeet, etc. as falling within the “relationship” realm, but the mashers won’t know that). That will drive away just about everybody since their aim is to find out as quickly as possible if you’re available for a roll in the hay. Of course the old “I’m looking for a husband” or “I’m waiting for God” (with upturned eyes and a dreamy gaze into the ozone) will scare off most males in a New York minute. In that case, a firm “Piss Off” usually does the trick. If you don’t want to even be bothered with any kind of discussion, however brief, responding in an unintelligible fake language also works wonderfully well.
Crap….meant to say “Failing that, ‘Piss Off’ usually does the trick”, not “In that case….”.
