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 :).

    Somewhere down the list we will find: "I thought I was making progress with the girl I like, until I found out she's a lesbian and she wants my mom. #WhyImSingle"

    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!

    As a father of 3 daughters, threats aren't needed. Teach your daughter how she should be treated. Show them by respecting your wife. Then trust them to set the limits with the stupid boys.

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    I have met many pet owners who admit that they sometimes eat pet food because it tastes OK. Or adults who eat baby food because it tastes good and is easy and quick snack.

    Don't worry, my husband has been wearing same shirts too in the last couple of years. And nobody seems to find it weird. Also, cheaper this way.
