Single people.

Seriously.

They have a special holiday just for couples. Some of the finer resorts are couples-only. Many places book based on double-occupancy. A couple dining out together -- normal, even romantic; a single person dining out -- pathetic and sad. Single people get screwed over on insurance and taxes. There are "special" services out there that try to help you not be single, like it's some kind of disorder.

Face it -- if you are single, you are looked upon like a second-class citizen.

I guess that's the price you pay for being able to do what ever the hell you want, whenever the hell you want.

That's just the illusion, tho. You actually are more restricted in many ways.

You do realize that there are entire cruises devoted to the singles market, right?

But in general, yes, I understand where you're coming from.

Easy to fix, if you think you are second class and discriminated against... Get married!

correction: the most discriminated group? Children.

Seriously. They have a holiday for couples, one for each of your parents, entire resorts dedicated to couples, cruises dedicated to singles (neither of those allow kids), tons and tons of people who hate kids, lots of forms of entertainment you are not permitted to view, buildings you cannot enter, foods you cannot consume, and rides you're too short to get on.

Not to mention the fact you cannot make decisions for yourself.

You complain about being single, imagine being a child again. <shudder>

Oh, and the reason there are couples only resorts is because singles ruin them. It's nice to get away from the singles trying to hook up with everyone they see.

We've all been in relationships, and we've all been single, but this is just not true.

Honestly.

Couples-only and double-occupancy does not mean married. You can be single and qualify for these if you go with someone.

Yes, but they set these occupancy rates assuming that romantically-involved couples will be the ones taking part in them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

And, by "single," I don't mean just someone who is unmarried. The term "single" also applies to someone not currently in a relationship of some kind.

I was kind of confused, too, unless Mus is confusing you with one of our gay members (Coro? I lose track of these things, sorry).

Pretty sure it was just a gay joke. Also, I don't think Coro is gay :p

This belongs in Hellfire!1!11

Back on track.. Rodahn, you're not a bad looking dude. Do you choose not to be in a relationship? I've seen guys that look like trolls compared to you that are pulling chicks now and again.

Thank you, and no I did not choose it. I have no explanation, other than I am not (Fill In The Blank) enough for women to deem me worthy of a relationship.

Do you ask a girl to go on a date? So you get shot down, /shrug who cares, keep on asking till you find one that works.

We all get shot down, its whether you decide to keep trying though that's important.
