If Your Friends Pressure You To Date And Get Married, Find Some New Friends!
“You don’t need to keep taking trash advice from horrible people who don’t mind their own love lives enough to stay out of yours.”
I always found it strange how women, whether single or taken, are so damn pressed over their single friends finding boyfriends and husbands as quickly as possible. Like, what do they get out of it? Why it is so important? Where’s the fire?
I’ve definitely experienced the irritating-ass brunt of the eager hopeless romantic friend who needed me to meet men in order to satisfy her hopes and dreams for my personal life, even to the point where I’ve had dating profiles created on my behalf when I expressed no interest in meeting men on the internet. I also cannot forget the times when I couldn’t meet or befriend any man without being asked by my girlfriends if I like these men.
I always found these questions, constant updates, and stern tongue lashings about where I am when it comes to finding a man to be aggravating as hell. It’s as if I am living under a microscope and my life is being scrutinized and torn apart. Like, I can’t have guy friends? I’m not allowed to work with a handsome coworker without wanting to fuck him in the stairwell? Then again, many women don’t believe both sexes can be friends, so I guess I answered my own question.
