It sounded like she wanted domestic help, not a life partner.

Well said. Being single can be awesome if you live a great life. In fact, I think everyone needs to be happy and single to become decent relationship material.
And how do you know they aren't telling the truth? It sickens me that people still think the only way to be happy is to be in a relationship and any single person who says they are happy must be lying.
I would be surprised given cognitive dissonance is a common human foible. Nature has to make some of us unhappy to be single otherwise that's the end of the human race. As social creatures some of us can get away with it , but not all of us.
Anyway women should not seek another woman's advice. They should take my advice like this:
For quantity and where the goods are odd , work weekends in an establishment that sells live bait.
Lonely boys need to go to ballet school regardless of their sexual preference.
And how do you know they aren't telling the truth? It sickens me that people still think the only way to be happy is to be in a relationship and any single person who says they are happy must be lying.
Even if you are ecstatic, you have no business pushing your views down the throat of someone else. That is what i am talking about here.
And besides, for the most they have merely settled for their current position of solitude. It is normal to couple up, that is the reason why you have genitals. It is the way our species propagates. It is the reason why humans have lived in packs since the beginning of time - we aren't meant to live a life of solitude.

Wooooah there. Being single and being alone are not at all the same thing.
And how do you know they aren't telling the truth? It sickens me that people still think the only way to be happy is to be in a relationship and any single person who says they are happy must be lying.
This.
It seems like this thread is full of extreme stances and projections. People seem to be unable to comprehend that a person can be happy being single and still be open to a relationship with the right person.
The projections are the worse of this thread. Just because you are miserably single doesn't mean that other women out there are. Some people really are happy just being by themselves and are not aching for companionship at the same level that you are. (not you specifically strawberrykiki but in general).
I've always found it quite disrespectful how people tell you how miserable or unhappy you are just because you are in a certain situation even though you actually feel good or O.K. because it shows how self-absorbed they are in trying to enforce their opinions or projecting their own feelings onto you.

In fact, I think she's more honest and pragmatic than most of the women on this board.
I don't care any way about any poster, I don't know any of you. I care about the contents of the post.
I have no idea if she is more honest or not, and don't care. If there is something in a post I don't agree with I'll say so. It is kind of the point of a forum like this.

Depends on how easily the "single" person can find a FB or FWB. If single = celibate then I think most people would be pretty miserable in that situation. People dont think about the fact that finding a FB or FWB is not easy for everyone.
