Thank you Amy for sending me this...
Apparently Glamour magazine asked single gals to send in their most hated cliches about being single. Drumroll, please:
"It happens when you're not looking." But we're ALWAYS looking.
"There are plenty of fish in the sea." Have you SEEN some of the fish in the sea? Those gross bottom-feeders with whiskers? (And yes, although I am actually talking about fish, this could also describe some of the men out there.)
"So, why are you single?" This is my least favorite. I mean, if I knew, I wouldn't BE single, would I?!
"You're too picky." I've been getting this one from my mom lately. And although it is probably true, why SHOULDN'T I be picky? You think long and hard about what movie to rent. Why not be selective about what man you're going to spend the next 40 years with?
"He's out there." Really? Thanks.
"It just takes one." This could also apply to a fatal heart attack. Not helpful.
"Just have fun with it!" WTF. Does dragging yourself to bars where the girls are all 10 years younger sound like fun to you?
"I wish I were single and in your shoes - the grass is always greener!" No, it's not. Grass can be brown and dead. (No, I'm not bitter. HA!)
"Don't you have any friends who can set you up?" Obviously not. That well has run dry, peeps.
And the last one, also becoming frequent with my mom: "You should freeze your eggs." Alrighty.

OMG when my mom was visiting me this past Feb (I was single at the time), she ALSO told me I should freeze my eggs!!!!! I about died!! I can NOT believe your mom told you that too!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now she's telling me to just get artifically inseminated. That she'll move down here and take care of the baby while I go back to work. Um, if anyone is going back to work it would be her. I'll stay home, thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteHAHA!!!! OMG I think our mothers are sisters!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTo my relief, my sister just popped out the first grandkid. That took a lot of the slack off of me. Not all. But some.
Of course now the harassment on me is to have not just a baby...but a GIRL. Because my sister went and had a boy.
