    I've heard a few pieces on talk radio shows recently about single people feeling pressurised to be in a relationship! WTF? When did this happen? Do those of you in relationships frown upon your single friends??

    Then again I suppose there will always be ugly people!!

    I've heard alot on Newstalk and RTE recently about this too. I think its just as a result of all the stats coming out about women having kids later in life, people putting off getting married until their 30's etc. It does get a bit on the annoying side, its still always prevalent at weddings though with ol grannys talking about whos yet to get hitched in their family.

    On the one hand, I'd wager there are a lot of single people with a persecution complex about being single.

    On the other though, single people can experience pity, which is dreadfully condescending.

    agreed. there's people out there dying to get hooked up who'd welcome the help, there's others who are happy enough and don't need the interference.

    The grass is always greener on the other side, and everyones a bit touchy about it, so singles think they're looked down on by couples or pitied for being alone, while couples think they're missing out on the madness of singledom.

    Single rocks!

    In response to such matters I usually use the 'Give a man a fish...' answer.

    Well, people whose friend circle have paired off might feel as if they're being looked down upon as they have to spend their entire time playing the third/fifth/seventh wheel? I don't look down on my single friends....

    Women are more prone to setting up their mates with someone but sometimes a womans perception of what a 'looker' she is can be a bit different from a males perspective..

    Single people suck ass. Why are they still alive? We have rejected them. What good are they now? Are there not workhouses?

    The extermination camps would probably be more like fun camps if they were full of single people.

    Yup. Like a sex farce comedy from the fifties. "Carry on until your government ordered murder you pleb."

    I didnt think that through. And think of all the stray cats that would result too.
    Damn.
    Single people: A necessary (for now) evil.

    Now that you mention the cats though, maybe the single people could be used as pet food soylent green? But then of course, what to be done with all the stray - and fatter if my idea were to come to fruition - cats...
