Happy single persons day!!! Read!

As some of you may know, I have a slight obsession with sex and the city...

Anyhoo, on one episode Carrie mentionned an idea which had never crossed my mind..

How come people in relationships get to celebrate it all the time?? Eg, Valentines Day, anniversaries, engagements, wedding days, happy "u had a new baby day"?? Plus singletons, like moi, will actually end up spending money on presents later in life for those people happy in relationships for their weddings and engagements etc..

What about us single people?? We dont get any recognition for being alone..and we may like being alone but at the end of the day..people should buy us presents too :p:

So I propose a Happy Single Peoples Day..where people celebrate being single.. And we get presents..

I have approached my friends with the idea and we are going to give each other chocolates and gifts on that day.. plus, we can hav a girly nite out!

I want to spread the word.. So go celebrate your single life (and sing Natasha Beddingfield until u cant sing anymore).. ohh, and get presents :biggrin:

Date of Happy Single Persons Day...coming soon...

Possibly because it's taken for granted that the vast majority of singletons (myself included) do not take pride in their decidedly unenviable status. :rolleyes:

unenviable? :eek:

hell..being single is one big long Party, all the clubs are designed for us, adverts are aimed at us, magazines aimed at us the only few things that suck about being single is no date for valentines day and slightly less frequent sex.... apart from that..GO SINGLE LIFE!!!

besides I'm not committing to anyone who doesn't look like Gael Garcia Bernal :wink:
Hmm... being single has it's upsides and downsides, as does being in a relationship. I think, ultimately though, it's programmed into most (note: most not all) humans to want to be in a 2-way-relationship of some sort. At least in modern society.

For example, humans are the only species where both participants face each other during intercourse. So it's not just a biological process like it is for other animals (not as if you didn't know that already!)

Because "I don't love you" cards won't sell so well ;_;

It's a nice idea, but it could totally be done any day of the week. A lot of singletons don't want to be singletons [okay, some do, but hang on..]. I reckon a "singleton's day" might turn into an "I'm desperate" day for some people :\

Mind you, for the proud singletons, rock on.

Does not the fact that 'adverts are aimed at us' serve merely to compound the notion that there may be something amiss from our lives? :rolleyes:

Besides which, I'm long overdue for a first date, let alone a first relationship. Being single is hardly gratifying, for lack of a choice in the matter; certainly, I feel no desire to self-consciously revel in the fact of my loneliness.

Well I've always been a cynic with these new-fangled internet thingys. You just never know who the real person is. :wink:

(Says the bloke who's username is of two guys from the 60s and who considers the net to be "new-fangled." Hee hee, just realised those two things as I typed this!)

In my experience; the better they look, the more likely they are to be looking elsewhere. :rolleyes:
