People want to automatically write you off as having something wrong with you because you are single at your age. Have you ran into this?

Yeah, I know how you feel, I'm single and that's what I get.
I even get the whole "oh she's pretty so she must be a bi**h, or all about herself thrown at me. You know what. . it's your life who cares what everyone thinks. You know you'll find someone great. . .and I'm sure you will.
Oh yeah and. . . just out of curiosity. . .
Why on earth is someone so fantastically gorgeous single???

Hey, being single is a badge of honour, especially for those folks who are extremely career-oriented, and want to achieve something in life. If this thought comes to you, then you must feel lucky, as marriage and girls drains your mental energy a lot.
I am not discouraging you that you'd not find a girl. But, that's because you don't have the time and patience to try enough. It's not that something is deficient in you, or you lack communication skills. If ssuch thoughts plague you, avoid them, and concentrate on your work, your hobbies. And if the picture of some LUCKY guys swinging with girlfriends makes you feel jealous, know that they aren't exactly happy. Casanovas suffer from deep inferiority complex, but never admit it. They are far weaker than Average men on serious issues, like career development and such.
So, be proud of what you are, and avoid these thoughts. There are plenty of nice girls/women who would want a person who is "himself".

I was never single in my late 20's it was worse, I was divorced with two kids!!!!! Be happy if you like were you are. I don't see a damn thing wrong with taking your time. I think more and more people are waiting to get married and if that's what they want, then more power to them. Just keep doing your own thing, you may be single another 10 years or maybe not. But if you are happy don't listen to the naysayers!!

Yup. A lot of friends were getting married in their mid twenties and I waited until I was 30. I don't think anyone should get married until they are good and ready. There are so many people who rush into marriage because they want a wedding or they want to make sure they have a mate or whatever. Those are not good reasons. Before a person gets married they need to contemplate what "til death do us part" means. I think that if that was done, there would be a lot less divorce.

I'm 25...not really late twenties, but close enough. I chat online a lot, and I have my picture on my profile, and people always say to me, "You're hot, why are you single?" My looks should not affect my status, but people assume they do. I choose to be single right now. I'm a single mother, dating doesn't really come easy, and besides, most guys lately are completely portraying themselves as pigs, and I want nothing to do with them. I have personal issues that need to be dealt with before I get into any more relationships. I'd rather be happy with myself first, so any relationships I get into will be happier as a result. Also, people are rushing to get married so quickly these days. I applaud you for being single! Stay that way until you're absolutely ready to commit!

I've just turned 20 and I've ran into it. My two best friends, same age as me got married and the others engaged. They keep telling me how I'll find someone, and soon....its frustrating cause I feel like I've got my life to live still, and I'm happy being single right now cause I don't want things to tie me down, you know? I'm tired of them telling me that there's a guy out there for me, I know there is, I'll find him when I do....but hopefully not too soon

No people just assume I am a swinger and not serious to settle down which is true but I rather be with more women than 1 for the rest of my life. Being single isn't all that bad.

I know more single 20's than coupled people. Who cares. I'd tell people I'm to involved with building a life for myself than to focus on someone else right now. It's an excuse but it works.
