In many ways being single in your 30s is ideal. You probably have an interesting job, you\u2019re still reasonably healthy and you can spend your time and money on whatever the hell you want.<\/p>\n
However, there are some things your older\/younger\/married friends don\u2019t quite get. Here they are\u2026<\/p>\n
1. Family reunions mean pity, confusion, then a loud \u2018brave\u2019 question about your sexual orientation.<\/p>\n
2. Men still want to pull you in clubs. This would be great if the men in question weren\u2019t 18.<\/p>\n
3. Facebook was not created by Mark Zuckerberg. It was, in fact, created by Satan to torture you.<\/p>\n
4. Weekends are perfect. Last-minute jaunt to Milan? Don\u2019t mind if I do\u2026<\/p>\n
5. \u2026but, occasionally, having so much fun can get a bit exhausting.<\/p>\n
6. The importance of a good massage therapist. People need to be touched. No, not like that. Well obviously sometimes like that which brings me to\u2026<\/p>\n
7. The value of a good FWB (friend with benefits) and the fact you are happy to keep them as this, not ruin things by trying to turn them into a life partner.<\/p>\n
8. That although people \u2018must be queuing up for you\u2019, if internet dating is any indicator, this queue comprises a Hodor double who \u2018likes burning things\u2019, a 5ft 2 necrophiliac and a worrying number of men whose number one pastime is emailing strangers photographs of their genitals.<\/p>\n
9. That 20-something women are 100x hotter than you but, as a rule, 100x less confident. You may or may not have started hugging them and explaining the reason men aren\u2019t asking them out is because they\u2019re intimidated by their beauty, intelligence and general awesomeness.<\/p>\n
10. That a depressing number of men want to cheat on their girlfriends and wives. You know this because they keep asking you to \u2018dinner\u2019.<\/p>\n
11. That a child pooing in a pot does not warrant a Facebook status update and several photos.<\/p>\n
12. The joy you feel when a single best friend finally does find a great partner.<\/p>\n
13. That you have to pretend to love being single, even when you don\u2019t, because admitting you\u2019re lonely and miss being held just makes everyone else uncomfortable and suspect you\u2019re not a feminist.<\/p>\n
14. Although sometimes you really DO love being single because you don\u2019t have to waste time pretending to enjoy the boring s*** someone else likes.<\/p>\n
15. \u2018Stop talking to my husband\u2019 face.<\/p>\n
16. That all married people are intrigued by internet dating and think it\u2019s exciting and fun. This is because they\u2019ve never tried internet dating.<\/p>\n
17. \u2018Why are you still single\/what\u2019s secretly wrong with you\u2019 face.<\/p>\n
18. Corns and bunions. WHY HAS MY SHOE COLLECTION TURNED AGAINST ME?<\/p>\n
19. That, going by your friends\u2019 and siblings\u2019 offspring, kids are brilliant but this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you want your own. Some people will not understand this concept and repeatedly remind you \u2018there\u2019s still time.\u2019<\/p>\n
20. The importance of an industrial strength under-eye concealer.<\/p>\n
21. Asking one married friend to dinner means both turning up.<\/p>\n
22. That it\u2019s 100 per cent better to be single than settle for a crushing bore, a compulsive liar or an arrogant git \u2013 even though some of your friends have because they really wanted a baby.<\/p>\n
