Jimmy Fallon Asked People Why Are They Single, And The Answers Will Make You Laugh, Then Cry
It's not you, it's me. A classic break-up cliche, but what if the same logic applied even before you were in a relationship. Dating is hard, and when asking why you are single it can be cathartic to think, perhaps the problem is not me it's them. But if we are being honest with ourselves maybe we do know why we haven't found "the one." Well, Jimmy Fallon of the Tonight Show has given his viewers a chance to air their dating failures on Twitter. The hashtag is called #WhyImSingle and it has caught on like wildfire. Whether you have too many pet peeves, keep meeting jerks, or haven't met someone that matches your special brand of weird, somebody out there can relate. Check out this short list of "Why I'm Single" tweets featured on the Tonight Show and don't forget to upvote your favs!

Ahhh yes, the starfish. My girlfriends presumed sleeping position, the only difference is her arm frequently tries to suffocating me and her foot is wedged firmly in my giblets...
This could have turned into a "conversation starter" had he laughed and explained himself. She may have found it (and him) appealing!
Hahaha I thought that was a normal thing to do. Before I went on my first date with my now lovely boyfriend, I looked him up and someone with the same name (name is very unique by the way) had a sex offender record in Florida (we live in Connecticut). Me on the first date, “have you ever lived in Florida?”. He laughed and said, “you looked me up didn’t you? By the way i know what you’re talking about, and if you looked closely, that other guy is much younger and he has a different middle name. So no, it’s not me.” Boy was I embarrassed! But we’re still together years later :).
Yeah, it's way too over-bearing. It's especially annoying if they have that double-standard of having to protect their daughter but their son can do whatever. Just teach your kids regardless of gender to have some independence and self-respect!

It goes both ways. Guys deserve the same respect. This entire culture the world seems to be in that wants equality at the cost of making sure one sex needs to be on a pedestal is creating a divide. No wonder fewer people are getting married and having children, people are raising their kids to think the world should treat them like it revolves around them. None of us are the center of the galaxy and the world isn't always fair. You get what you give. If people are required to be respected, then they better be offering that same respect in return. Otherwise, they're going to push all the good people away and be left with the same people that they have become.
Load More Replies...This attitude frustrates me to no end. You raise your kids to be responsible empowered adults. They guy should show your daughter respect because he is a decent human and she insists on being treated with respect, not because he was threatened with some creepy cliche.
How about he should respect her because he's a decent human being and she offers respect in return...! It goes both ways, he deserves to be treated well in return.
Load More Replies...And the reason I'm single is that my response to that would be "Mmm, you gonna keep that promise?" (Likely as a joke, but I find that a fair amount of people can't tell when I'm joking or not.)
He'll regret it later when he sees there are no grandchildren coming because his daughter has no potential husband
Be thankful! He could've said 9 other things to them: Ad20-20Rul...0White.png
A daughter is always her daddy's little girl that needs protection.
Not mine, she can do as she pleases as she is an adult and in charge of her own life

Thanks. That certainly helps! I look forward to reading your lovely blog. Cheers! https://www.united-airlinesreservations.com
I was bullied by my dad, who was verbally abusive, while gowing up and decided as a young adult that I'd rather live alone than be in an abusive relationship. Then around age 28 I developed schizophrenia with auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) depression and insomnia to name only those symptoms, and they took me off the market for the next two or three decades. So here I am at 59 still single.
For me, it's because I'm waiting for the right person and guys I have dated don't want to wait, so they leave.
