When you reach a certain point in life, people around you inexplicably begin coupling up like they’re contestants on a dance-centric reality TV competition — which leaves befuddled single folk standing around in the wings, wondering WTF happened. While singledom can be fantastic (no sharing takeout, nobody judging you for staying home in pajamas all day, no uncomfortable realizations that you’re dating an assh*le), it also comes with its own set of challenges (way too much time on your hands, a crushing sense of loneliness, an inability to open certain pickle jars).
While being single can ultimately be a pretty fantastic lifestyle choice, it can be helpful to commiserate with other singletons about your mutual independence. After all, if you can’t laugh about the unsatisfactory loneliness, it might crush you forever. (But in, like, a fun, free-spirited way!)

Being single is the best. So much time to do what you want. Think and reflect. Stare into the void and try to remember what touch felt like.

You can tell how single I am by the way my cat and dog wear their sombreros with quiet dignity and acceptance.

Tired of being single? Just lower your standards a bit. My new girlfriend is a coconut taped to a mop.

Eighty seven percent of single people are single because they don’t want to share their pizza with anyone.

Someone asked me if I’m ever scared that I’ll be alone forever, which I thought was so rude because my dog was RIGHT THERE.
