I don't need a man is a bit extreme, like almost too feminist, like borderline lesbo.

Now, I understand your point because there are a lot of emotionally unstable women and men out there, usually they will have 3, 4 kids because they are so unstable and desperately that they need something(anything) to love them back, maybe a puppy or a cat would be a better idea.

Also, these are the ones that will cling to just about any man and want marriage so bad because they are so messed up and so unstable emotionally. I think you are probably more normal than most women out there

I don't NEED one. I can support myself and enjoy life without one.

But damn it is a lot more fun with one

That's fine, but remember, women who have a male companion won't need to spend 20 dollars on a (((Shake))) Weight -- you will.

My motto: I can be perfectly happy all by myself, but to be miserable, I need a man.

Just kidding. But try that line the next time your sisters or friends get on your case asking why you're not in a relationship. It's a great deflection.

Kidding or not, it often is the case.

Yeah, my older sister just got divorced, and she complains about being lonely (and of course now she has to open her own jars and cut her own grass) and she wonders how I can stand being single. I have to remind her that being married to a lazy alcoholic who cheats like she was isn't exactly my dream.

I get where you're coming from. Yes, I'm extremely lucky to feel that way because I enhance, enrich and make my life happy.
