The Stigma of Being Single: What’s Someone Like You Doing Single? Well, Funny You Asked...Let Me Tell You!

The Pretty Uncomfortable Podcast

"What?! YOU'RE single? I don't believe it!"

"You're too good looking to be single!"

"What is someone like you doing single? That seems impossible!"

When did being single become such a terrible, shocking thing? And WHY? For many, being single shows strength. Strength that they are making their way through this crazy world, solo. For staying true to themselves and not settling for anything less than what they deserve. And YET. Many people will have a tone that quietly whispers with pity as they question why you are still single.

Referencing back to Episode 7 "Being Single On Valentine's Day" I discuss the difference with wanting a relationship, and needing a relationship, and why it is absolutely ok to be picky. Inspired by someone making one of the above comments to me after I talked about spending my weekends alone, I hopped onto the dating apps, camera recording, to bring you on my journey of swiping, so you could bear witness to my choice to be single.

Sometimes, the dating world is just....rough. Sometimes our options are....limited. And sometimes, we just do not feel like dating. And again, THAT IS OK! Come join the conversation in this fun and lighthearted look at being the single friend, the joys of dating apps, choosing not to settle, and the friendly reminder to recognize your single friends for all that they are!
