A quote about Singles.

Post Reply New Topic

I have seen the below quote on FB, and I don't agree with it.

Female members argued that it is true, while my view of point that it is not necessarily true, and that chronic celibacy can be a strong indicative of unattractive traits for some cases - I gave the example of a guy being rejected by every girl he's asking out, I also gave a personal example of how I find some people/crushes worthy in my eyes but they simply don't want me.

I sense they felt kinda offended by what I said lol.



What do you think of this quote?

personally? feelgood male cow manure...

If i were single by choice, this could be true, but as you stated, those who are constantly rejected (or even ignored) can relate to this quote no better than an evolutionairy biologist can believe the genesis story...

Being single doesn't have just one meaning.

BS quote, single people always cry about getting rejected.
Maybe in some very rare cases it can apply to "princesses" who are too good for anyone.
Not even asexuals who might not want a partner have a problem with this.

Honestly, the only thing being single means is that you don't have a partner, that's the definition... all the other meanings are subjective brain poop.

I suppose that quote could be true for a guy that's never tried very hard. Such as limited-use of dating sites/apps, along with rarely or never approaching women in real-life as well.

^ Yeah that's a possibility. But it doesn't necissarily have to do with knowing one's worth...
You can know your worth and wait for someone who is "worthy" (lol) without being single.

I think people put up quotes like these to make themselves feel better about their singleness, and to somehow "justify" their situation.

It is certainly not true for all. And for most who put it up, I do not believe they *feel* deep down that it is true. They are just trying to believe it to be true.

Well, if you know your worth and you are worthless, what are you waiting for? Someone as worthless as you? And how would that be any good? More like you simply know you have no business hoping to get a partner.

This quote applies to the very few humans who can actually claim true monogamy. This quote phases it like it's superior to being polygamous, but in reality both have equal validity. I myself am a monogamous individual. I guess I know my "worth", meaning I have a pretty good idea of what kind of person I could realistically have a stable LTR with and I wont just causally date someone just to be in a relationship.

Good for you. I know it's not realistic for me to expect to have a chance ever, so, if I miraculously were to have one, I'd sure as hell "casually" jump on it before it's gone. I'm desperate enough not to care at all what would happen later.

Yes, this quote doesn't even taking into account the desperate cases yet always failing, wrong or not, they exist too.


And what if for example one was overestimating his worth (ie. narcissist) yet I am not really so hence getting rejected?

And what if one likes people who are very worthy yet this view isn't being mutual with them?

What about those who view them as worthless?

What about those who are REALLY undesirable or unwanted by 99.9% of the opposite sex?
