Jimmy Fallon Asks People Why They Are Still Single, And People Give Their Funny And Weird Reasons (50 New Tweets)
All the single ladies, all the single ladies! All the single ladies, all the single ladies! Now put your hands up!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being single. If you are not looking for love, and you are satisfied with focusing on your friends and family, yourself and your career, more power to you! But for many people out there, being single is not something they are married to. Yet despite their best efforts to change their relationship status, it can be brutal out there.

We’ve gathered some of their best responses down below, as well as interviews with dating and relationships coaches Rachel New and Eddie Corbano. So whether you’re happily married or looking for love, enjoy these tweets and be sure to upvote the ones that you find most hilarious or painfully relatable.

This is a valid reason. (But, actually, I met the love of my life in my own kitchen 😂)

I see no problem here. One of my cats is named Princess Caterina von Meowington III. Another is called Kevin.

I used to be that girl, seems I somehow passed that curse on to my ex. If/when I figure out how, I'll post it.

Not a deal breaker, I have a boyfriend AND an unholy large collection of DnD and Warhammer miniatures and figurines from Final Fantasy to Metal Gear.

I would suggest training your dog. What happens if a child runs up and kiss you? Also stressing for the dog if it dont trust you as a leader but feels the need to step up unpromted.

So... an innocent conversation in the very early stages of knowing each other kind of went... sideways... (which is normal, imho) and one of you stopped dating because if this? Umm, this sounds a bit immature, imho [my very first thought was "14 year olds dating"]. The way you both worded it leaves enough room for misconceptions/ verbal booby traps...

Glad you find your other half now, but for everyone else - it's a date, not a competition.

Then you dodged a bullet there. Would you really want to stay with someone so unsupportive? No.

I know so many people who don't know how to fold sheets or towels for that matter.

I doubt it. Most men do not like dancing so if you're bad at it, that sounds like a plus.

If a person is only interested in someone to housekeep for them they should get a maid...

Trust issues are on you though and well maybe look for some therapy ... it's not uncommon to have you're phone turned over or vibrate only notifications. If you have concerns then talk to him, if you're not convinced then you need to trust your gut and decide what to do. Jealousy and uncertainty can sure eat you up. But never being able to trust your partner is equally as damaging. Eat of luck!

20 minutes explaining anything on a first date is probably a deal breaker right there. Most people want to be asked questions here and there.

... so you're single because a guy told you... you're sexy? This one doesn't make sense.

Are you saying you don't have any 'red flags'? Think very carefully about that.

Harry Styles isn't even Harry Styles. He's a 'character' whose records you've listened to and thought he was singing to you. You don't know him, you've only seen the shiny public self of him. Move on. It's not healthy.

First.. b******t. You aren't fat, you are just fat compared to the c**p that is spewed out by the media. According the BMI several people considered "hunks" and "babes" are obese. Second, so bloody what. If a guy only likes the way you look. They are probably so shallow that any relationship would be doomed anyway.

"A friend of mine..."? I'm confused. The question wasn't why h e is single.

Put your phone/tablet away. It's not what you're looking at, it's that you are looking at all.

1. Girls are not objects "rewarded" by "the god". 2. You have zero chance with those because of your attitude. 3. Women are not slave objects of some kind, so maybe you DO need to date a few to get the general idea of what you're doing wrong. 4. Your parents' views are irrelevant.

I'm single because I love being single. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. It's hard to beat the freedom of it.

I have been married for 37 years. I have always been able to do whatever I want, whenever I want. It has been hard to beat that freedom.

I’m single because I ended things with the last guy I was seeing… when I found he was out on bail for beating his wife. Being single is much better.

There have been numerous times in my life that I have to remind people, not just men, that I am single by choice. There have been men, however, that I have straight up remind them that they are being rejected. And if I stay single . . . that's up to ME!
