It's REALLY annoying. Do I have a sign on me that says therapist or some ****? For real, I always have someone asking me "do you have a girlfriend?" or something pertaining about my love life and here's the thing, I don't even talk about that **** to them. Somehow it seems to be a ****ing concern to them about my love life like they know me. Is that supposed to mean something?

double standard. women can ask but guys cant.
the fact that you get angry when they ask is part of information gathering for them.
learn to set boundaries w/o getting angry.

You see, it's not just women asking me. You have some dudes when we having a conversation about whatever asking me out of thin air.. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Like dayum, really man, why you care? And you know what's funny too, when you answer their question, they want to know what your girls name is, where she lives, how your relationships going, how much years you been with her, what you did with her on Valentine's Day and all this other ****? I've even had people going as far to know if I had sex or not. Really??? Like really, I should drop a book about my life to get some people off my back wanting to know about my business. I just lie to them to shut them up.

Maybe they are just being curious, starting small talk, or are judging you. In our society, especially amongst younger guys, it is seen as standard to be on the hunt for women.

you're letting them control you if you let it get to you. Either tell the truth, say you're looking for somebody, or say you're not interested in dating for the time being.

No, I'm just raising a point. Since when did it become COOL to be up in other people's business especially if that person isn't mentioning their business like that to begin with.

as has been stated people are nosy.

Learning diplomacy, or learning to shrug off inquiries, would be better than being vexed and irate.
