Hi Mandy! After reading your 3 books, (I just recently finished reading I’ve Never been to Vegas), I just felt the drive to write again. Maybe because in that way I can express my own version of you “Mr. E”. Honestly, while reading your last book, I felt that we have that similar situation. hahaha! I also have that Mr. E (because his last name starts with an E, and he did that on and off in the scene) hahaha! Anyways, I would be glad to do this challenge! More power to us! God bless you. 🙂
I am really your fan by the way. 😀
Thank you so much, Dana!!! 🙂
Ok, so I have been afraid to post mine to facebook because I’m dating a guy right now, but I don’t want him to get the wrong impression, so I started my day 1 blog with day 7! Hopefully that’s not too confusing. Your great Mandy Hale! Thank you!
– Jordan
Not confusing at all! Jump in wherever you’d like! 🙂
Hi Mandy, just completed my last post today… day 30!!! Felt so empowered and have learnt a lot about myself past 30days. There’s been choke ups when i was writing, realizing how broken i had been at times, but i have also learnt a lot about myself too. Thank you for this challenge. Aftera ddifficult breakup i think we all need this time out to simply take it easy. I feel so much better.
I’ve only just begun to read your blog but I want to commend you for allowing God to stretch you to the point that you have “oil” to share. I find that when you get over the 35 year old hump you began to experience a new sense of self that makes no apologies for being who you are. When your desire is to impart in other women who have been and maybe where you were……well that is an awesome gift!!! I applaud your efforts & pray that surely Mercy & Goodness shall follow you all the days of your life.
https://notjustanotherkate.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/the-single-womans-30-day-blogging-challenge-day-1/
I’m joining too! I’m so excited! 🙂 Hopefully I finish. Hahaha!
Hey Mandy. Yea, I’m a guy. I read your blogs and I’ve read The Single Woman: Life, Love ,and a Dash of Sass….lol I read it to see what a woman would want out of a guy but had my eye open to what God want s for me. No matter what discouragement you face, know that God has you where He wants you. And no tear falls unnoticed. You are a blessing and don’t think your thoughts are not taken to heart and helps others still searching.
PS- You really need to start a blog for us guys that get discouraged and are looking as hard as you do.
Thank you for this encouragement 🙂 ~M
This fabulous and I can’t wait to join in!
So excited to be doing this Mandy! Here’s my first entry.
http://tonitoni.blogspot.com/2015/03/why-am-i-still-single.html
So here goes, “Why am I still single?” 12 years ago I ended a 10 year relationship with the wrong guy. I was afraid to trust for many years. Although I am ready again to put my heart on the line, I find that I have become cautious and picky. I am also set in many of my ways. I like how I have the freedom to do the things I want, when I want. However, I would like to find a guy who wants to share my life with me and respects the fact that we are individual people.
I’m in… Are we all creating our own blogs with our answers? Or posting answers here as comments each day?
No, you would create your own blog posts on your own blog and please share the links across your social media platforms using the hashtag #TheSW30!
What day does the challenge start? And do you go in numerical order?
Starting today and yes, go in order. Write as much as you can, but don’t stress if you can’t write every single day 🙂
I shared on FB 🙂 so far a few of my friends are joining in! Yay! I can’t wait!
Im in!!! Great idea!! Sounds fun!
I am SO in!!

Day 1: 1) Your response to everyone’s favorite question: “And why are YOU still single?”
First off let me clarify, I will be 34 on the 27th of this month and I’ve never been married and have no kids and I am perfectly happy with that! Few ask me that anymore, but if/when they do, my response is sometimes “why not?” (that always gets a good, confused look out of someone haha). I also respond with “well my 7 year relationship in my 20’s did a 360 turn back in 2007 and now we are just great friends and nothing more, probably ever… since then, I’ve only had one serious relationship that lasted a year with someone who was incredibly insecure and jealous, and what I went through I will never go through again”, other than that I have dated, a lot, but men in my small town area do not like the independant, free woman, they want the needy, take care of me (generally the divorced, single moms) types. It is what it is, and I couldn’t be prouder to be me! 🙂
I love that response!!! I am going to use that next time I am asked that too.
I also believe that God has not brought him to me yet, patiently waiting and still living life, one bad date at a time because I WILL NOT SETTLE for any man that will have me, I have little to no timeline when it comes to marriage, I feel the longer I wait, the more right it will be and longer it will last. 🙂
Oh yes.. I love to celebrate you and the stand you take for yourself !! I’m single too and have been for quite sometime over ten years.It is what it is and celebrate each new day in the moment.
I have to agree with the small town men. But I am a single mother with 2 kids and that has a lot to do with my strong personality and being very independent. I am not the needy clingy type and the men in my town can’t understand that. I have a full time job, take care of 2 kids, 2 dogs, and take care of my house. I have also got out of a 1 year relationship with a man that was incredibly insecure and jealous. After I ended it with him I knew that I couldn’t be with a man like that because it will never work. He wanted me to constantly reassure him of our relationship, constantly calling and texting me, and I couldn’t take it anymore. It was a big turn off. I know that Mr. Right is out there and I will not settle for less.
I’m single and a widow. I have not met the man GOD has for me.
@Maggie … Amen!
How do you start your own blog? :-/
If you don’t have a blog, just use the “Notes” section of Facebook! Works just as well! 🙂
Susan you can create a blog for free using Weebly.com. It’s super user-friendly, even if you’re not tech savvy!
I just started this blog last night (literally don’t have ONE post yet) so this is PERFECT timing for me to answer these questions and start. When are we starting the blogging? Everyone go follow, and I’ll start blogging when the challenge starts 🙂 excited to hear everyone’s story.
Starting today! 🙂
I don’t have a blog but through a devotional for single woman I started last month I have really gotten into journaling and some of these questions if not all of them will be great for me to journal about to just reflect on why I am where I am and also about my reactions to some things.
[…] Mandy threw down a blogging challenge and I think it is a good way to get back into blogging. I wasn’t sure which one to put it on but this is the blog I like more right now (because I like the TARDIS and while I don’t think the Empire is all that cool, the name rocks). So – here we go! […]
On it!

I loved reading your blog!! Right on!! I am single because I CHOOSE to be and because I’m done settling. Also I’m taking time for ME and learning to love ME again after the heartbreak and hell I’ve been thru. I’ve always been in some sort of relationship since I was 17 and I’m 32. Don’t get me wrong being single is NOT all fun and games but neither is being in a relationship. They both have pros and cons. So for now this is my journey and I’m ok walking it alone. So why not be single and enjoy life on MY terms?!?!
This is just the kick in the pants that I needed to start blogging regularly again. Thanks Mandy!

My response link is this one, but will respond tonight when refreshed from today’s business.
I’m in! Mandy this is a great idea…
I am IN – but am going to start on November 1st and seek to do it every day in November. I have a lot on my plate right now so I am going to do that – plus November has 30 days so that will be a good month to try it out. Thanks for the challenge Mandy! 🙂
perfect timing! Just what I needed. A little kick in the rump!
Thanks.. will write soon
I am so doing this…I’ll have to set up a blog or something.
I don’t see a notes section on FB and neither do I blog, but I’d like to contribut to this thread. Can someone educate me? Thanks so much. 🙂
Go to the search bar at the top of your FB news feed, type in “Notes,” and then click “Notes App.” You can then choose the option to “Write a Note.” Other than that, maybe try setting up a blog through Blogger or Blogspot, both are super easy to get started! 🙂
You can also create a blog for free at Weebly.com. It’s what I use for http://www.breething.com
How do you do it if you are not on Twitter? Can everyone see? xx

Looking forward to reading more posts! I’ll be taking up the challenge and posting at: http://www.yumefulfilled.wordpress.com
i love this! 🙂
i love this!
Mandy, thank you!! This is exactly what I need. I’ve decided to do themed days to spice things up for my blog and Saturdays are “Single Saturdays”! So I won’t get them all in during October, but this gives me plenty of inspiration for months to come! You rock!
If you’re interested in following the musings of things that keep me “breething”, check out http://www.breething.com
I started right after I read this! Love it! I did mine on Facebook and hash tagged it as a status. Invited some friends (which are few that are single lol) but haven’t heard anything yet.
Day#1. “…and why are you still single?”
I found this question very quite intriguing that’s why I decided to join this 30days challenge blog.
Well, why??
I’ve already dated couples of guys and I think none of them gave me the REAL SPARK yet.
I mean, I already had two proposals since I was a teen but I still don’t find it REAL because I never had any engagement ring yet.
And as a Christian, I agree with the fact of “stop finding” but “be patient to wait” advice.
I’m still 23 and young, so from now I’m in the stage of not rushing things and slow down on relationships til I meet THE ONE. 🙂
I am ready for this. I have a blog about dating & relationships!
Here’s my day 1: http://southern-dreamer.tumblr.com/post/63131861742/more-day-1-your-response-to-everyones
I’m being totally honest with myself doing this each day. May learn some things about myself..who knows! I’m willing to take the challenge 🙂

so happy and excited to share this with you:
http://baredmysoul.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-am-i-still-single.html
I am single because I love the freedom of being myself & no one has found me that will let me be me. Who will love and accept me flaws and all. I’m also not willing to settle for someone who doesn’t want to build something with me and because I often see how males words do not match their actions.
This is just wonderful. Visit my first blogpost on :
http://[email protected]./2013/10/day-1.html
I’d love to read everyone’s as well. Thank you Ms. Hale.
I’m so in!

I remember first time I took mini vacation to Puerto Rico by myself. I needed to get away , needed few days to recoup. I have traveled alone . I was enjoying myself until I went to a restaurant to grab a dinner . A guy who was sitting me asked how many people and I said “just me”. I never forget the look he gave me. Kind of pity , like he couldn’t believe a girl would go to restaurant by herself . That moment I felt being single sucks .
Day 1 done!!! 🙂
Day 1 done!!!
My apologies, i don’t really know how this work. 🙂

What a great way to start my new chapter in blogging. My previous blog was helping process the trauma I had experienced in life. This is my new venture into the here and now. Becoming mindful and letting go. I’m excited for the next 29 days. Great idea 🙂

SURE! And great thinking outside the box! 🙂
Oops! I thought the challenge started from the 1st… so I just published my blog with a very lengthy entry that included answers to the first 5, to get up to Oct. 5th. I guess it’s just a good headstart! I feel so good now after writing that. 🙂
No worries! Write on your own timetable! 🙂 xoxo
#1 – Prefer to remain single, rather than be disappointed by men that do not meet any expectations.

“And why are YOU still single?”–At my age (40’s) I no longer get asked this question. But when I did I’d say “God must be saving a hell of a man for me!” So my advice to all the younger women who are still siingle is…stop questioning it and live your life to the fullest. I have a beautiful daughter who is my pride and joy and we live everyday in gratitude, abundance, and adventure. If you are meant to be married it will happen; if not and you’ve lived a great life then be grateful! All the best in life and love!
I am going to begin this challenge today! Follow me at http://christinamarieharris.blogspot.com/ :o)
So sorry ladies I had the wrong website address up. Here is the correct one for my blog.
I am going to take the 30 day challenge.

I love this challenge!!!

Why am I still single? Well, I actually had a conversation on this very same topic at Starbucks last night. Come to think of it, I can relate to Ms. Mandy Hale. I’m partly single because I want to take time to live for me. I’m a traveler, mostly domestic, some international for a couple of years. I want to discover God through places, food, and people, and I want to discover myself before marriage. I want to work on my “so-called” issues before meeting someone. I use to think my Prince Charming is out there, but when I think about it, God is my Prince Charming. So, now, I’m waiting my patiently for my Duke:)
Just found this and SO doing this! I started a blog about my journey to turning 30 (and still being single) and have blanked on where to start with writing. This gives me a perfect place to start. Don’t know if I’ll get to write every single day but this will certainly give me topics! Thanks!

Day#2 A MOMENT OR A DAY WHEN BEING SINGLE SUCK
I think it’s not only me who feels this way but I really hate going somewhere on a Valentines Day.
It sucks a lot seeing couples and heart decos everywhere you go.
40yearswandering.blogspot.com
Hopefully this will help me get more involved with my blog!
I think I’ll do this. It was my breaksary a week ago. My friends were excited and asked us to celebrate it. I didn’t. Last night,I ended up in a pathetic ball of self-pity thinking there’s only my ex who could ever possibly love me and now,he’s gone. I tried posting something on my blog to vent off some steam but I couldn’t. I felt like I wss locking myself in and thus,I can’t let go because there’s no door to move out to. As soon as I woke up today,I went to treat myself. And here I am,at a local restaurant,eating pancakes,pies and drinking hot chocolate (bless you,calories) and reading your blog. 🙂 I got really interested with the list!!! Who knows,I might get to figure out something special about myself after this challenge. Thanks Mandy. You’re such a great inspiration. I love you for that!!!
Day #2: Having to do everything for yourself all of the time!

I’m still single because I haven’t met a person that will love me unconditionally in return. I know that there will be a perfect time for me to settle down. I enjoy being single because I can do what ever I wanted to do.

The day I really hated being single was the day after my ex broke up with me, and I saw couples literally everywhere I went.
1) “And why are YOU still single?”
I am single because I have chosen to be single. I am highly deserving of a loyal and loving man and will not settle for less. The man I fall in love with and marry someday will get some bonuses for sure! As of today, my family is consisting of three children that are absolutely wonderful. Candyce 15, Joshua 10, and Caitlyn 8. We also have a cat, Priscilla, she is 16 years old!! Also, we have an adorable Chocolate Lab, Howie. He has brought much joy to our family the last year.

Day#3 A MOMENT OR DAY BEING SINGLE WAS AWESOME
Most of my girl friends are taken, so, me as a pretty mature woman they always come up to me whine and ask for my advice.
And it made me thought I kinda like as a single for now because I don’t have any emotional stress about boyfriends right now.
I mean, I can do anything I want and go anywhere I want without asking a partner if he’ll let me or not.
So as for now, I am loving my freedom and enjoying my life as a single woman. 🙂
Thanks for the challenge, Mandy. I’m working on day 4 right now.

Day#4 MY BIGGEST FEAR BEING SINGLE
I am pretty sure I won’t be the only one who’s gonna say this! lol
Getting old single, never married and having no kids at all til I reach 40s is my biggest fear.
As a teacher, it’s one of our dreams having our own child.
So, here I am giving myself a countdown to enjoy my single life til I settle down with a relationship.
day 3: http://imwinningipromise.blogspot.com/2013/10/thesw30-describe-moment-or-day-when.html
Day 1:
1) Your response to everyone’s favorite question: “And why are YOU still single?”
I am still single because I am 23 years old I feel like I still have a lot to accomplish in my life and most importantly I feel like I need to work on myself before I can attempt to make it work with someone else. I was in a long term relationship before he screwed me over so I now have trust issues/insecurity problems that I feel like only I & God can repair. I recently tried another so called ‘relationship’ which was doomed from the start so now I feel as if I really need to just focus on myself & career in order to be happy in life. So for now I’m living the dream being single and answering to no one! & I love it!

I am a bit behind but will attempt to catch up.
Question #1 – “AND WHY ARE YOU STILL SINGLE?”
I refuse to settle for someone that is going to let me down. That is not going to meet my expectations, not going to respect me, not understand me…..NOT BE ON THE SAME PAGE (even though he was the one I loved). “ain’t nobody got time for that” http://rohzees-corner.tumblr.com/
Xoxo
DAY 2 – “DESCRIBE A MOMENT OR DAY WHEN BEING SINGLE REALLY SUCKED.”
I think it sucks to single when its a rainy day or a cold day. I feel like I need someone to snuggle with on those days. Someone to snack with and drink hot cocoa with. Another instance is when you need that “manly” support only a man can give, when he says “do even worry about it….its not that big of a deal…this is what you do….” (then I feel much better cos he has my BACK. http://rohzees-corner.tumblr.com/
DAY 3 – “Describe a moment or a day when being single was really awesome.”
………..when I can get up and go to do what I want to do without anyone objecting to it, making excuses, complaining or being negative. It is what I say it is and THAT’S what I’m going to do…LET’S GO! http://rohzees-corner.tumblr.com/
DAY 4 – “YOUR BIGGEST FEAR AS A SINGLE PERSON?”
Not having someone to have my BACK, unconditionally…….or when a dog comes after me…..or when I run out of gas etc

DAY 5 – “THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION YOU THINK PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT SINGLE LIFE?”
….that I am LONELY + MISERABLE + DIFFICULT = too INDEPENDENT; hence, very difficult to please and get along with (not true)…..”that’s why she’s single” :/
Day#5 THE BIIGEST MISCONCEPTION I THINK FROM OTHER PEOPLE
…is when they think that all guys these days are all the same (I pretty know they’re all not and we’re all not too) and then they lose hope of trying for a new challenge again.
Which is really sad…
I had to share my blog on Day 5 because it’s a topic I get quite HOT about….lol
The biggest misconception you think people have about single life…….
I was in the grocery store about a month or so ago and the checkout lady saw that Jennifer Aniston was on the cover of a magazine I bought and she made the comment of “I wonder what’s wrong with her that she has been single for so long.” Now this made me really hot! I for one like Jennifer Aniston. However, whether you like her or not…WHY do people automatically jump to the conclusion that something is WRONG with someone because they are single?! Did people ever try to think outside their normal box and think that maybe just MAYBE a single person had just not yet found the right person? Society is SO afraid of single, independent people it’s ridiculous. I have a co worker who quite often has to bring up the fact that I am single therefore I must be picky……um no asshole, I am not picky however I am not willing to settle for someone I am not even really into for the sake of getting married so if I have to wait til I am 40 or 50 to find him….so be it and if that means I am picky then so be it…..I would rather be single than sorry…….this topic really gets my blood boiling….lol
I am note sure if I am sharing the rest of my blogs….I am using Facebook Notes and tagging The Single Woman in them but not sure it’s working and I title them #TheSW30……does anyone know how I can make sure they get shared on here? Thanks! And CHEERS to being single and fabulous…….at least until the right man comes along! 🙂 Thank you Mandy for giving us single gals a place to discuss topics, etc.

Day 5: http://imwinningipromise.blogspot.com/2013/10/thesw30-biggest-misconception-you-think.html?m=0
[…] Y’all seriously. Today was a doozy. Have you ever had those days when you feel like you’re on a rollercoaster ride of emotions? That’s how I’ve been feeling all day. I started off sleepy (usual) but happy because I was greeted from a few late(r) night text messages from my Minneapolis girlfriends who had clearly had a little too much to drink on a school night. I made it out of the house in time to stop at Dunkin (about a 50/50 occurrence) before hopping in the carpool car, which thankfully didn’t hit any out of the ordinary traffic. So far, pretty good. However, the minute we stepped out of the car into the chilled chocolate air, my day went to hell in a hand basket. I won’t bore you with the details but I’ll tell you that by the time we walked out of the door (I was the carpool driver home), I was absolutely drained. Laughing with coworkers, writing and re-writing a scathing email, hounding a cross-functional team member for shit they owed me two weeks ago, stepping outside for a breather, joking with co-workers about how crappy the day is, REPEAT. Rollercoaster all day long. Thankfully, I have an amazing roomie who had a great big bowl of turkey chili waiting for me at home. It felt good to close the door on the day. And now that I am settled home in bed, I need to answer question #6 of the Single Woman’s 30 Day Blogging Challenge. […]

My worst date happened a month ago..after chatting to a guy online and waiting for a year,we finally met for the very first time. He wasnt amazing looking but we had a connection or so i thought..lol Wel he picked me up n after some polite chitchat he asked me if we could watch the rest of the Chelsea game! So instead of gazing into each others eyes n whispering sweet nothinsgss…we had dinner n basically he was gazing longingly at the t.v screen. And that was enough for me to know that i would never be first in this man’s life n im proud to say im still single but so happy i didnt settle.
Recently found your page on Facebook, love it. Finding myself single recently, I want to take part in the 30-day challenge! Do I have to create a blog to share my experiences with other ladies who read your blog?

Day#7 WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR LIFE VS. WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE AT THIS POINT
I call myself a HOUSE DAUGHTER because of the fact that I am still living with my parents and still applying for a job now. I had a few job interviews but I guess fate wants me to focus on taking my baby steps one by one from the tragedies I had from my past. Despite of all those, I enjoy spending my time through ready my daily devotions, my temporary jobs, focusing on my ministry and loving the moments with my biological family and my families thru Christ.
If ever those mistakes I done never happened, I don’t think I will be sitting here in this computer chair, reminiscing and realizing that since God brought me back to His track I would be clueless about other people’s perspective acts physically, mentally and spiritually. Indeed, everything happens for a reason.

[…] I wanted to be active on blogging as I did in 2011 so I searched the web for any interesting blog challenges. I found one that I will soon decide whether or not to engage myself in. It’s a drawing challenge – yes, I’ll try that one even if I know I don’t draw well, if drawing sticks are acceptable. Then I also found another blog challenge hosted by the @TheSingleWoman on Twitter through its site. The challenge is currently dubbed as The Single Woman’s 30-Day Challenge. […]

I will start with Day 1. I am 41 years old, female, never married and no children. People tend to ask me “How come you are not married?” or “What’s the matter? Don’t you like boys?” I usually tell them “my story” to which they reply “Don’t worry! Enjoy your single life. It’s better that way.” Then they tell me about THEIR married problems! Do you know how many times I have been told NOT to get married!? Yet, I have been asked to be set up with co-workers and friends from well meaning friends and family. I am glad I never went through with it. I may not have planned my life to turn out this way, but I am glad that it did!
i’ve delayed it for two days but now i finally found the courage to write my 15th entry— closure. thanks Mandy for helping me find the courage to be open and face my monsters. you’re a blessing!

Day 1 – Why are you single? http://naomireed.blogspot.com/2013/11/single-womens-30-day-blogging-challenge.html
From what I remember, being single sucked when:
1. You go to dinner with a group of co-workers and friends and a guy you dated is there with a date of his own.
2. New Years Eve is spent at a concert, standing room only, by yourself because your friend gets into an argument with her cheating boyfriend and she needs to stay home to curse him out on the phone.
3. Men who want to take you out on Valentine’s Day aren’t men you are attracted to so you decline the invitation.
4. You keep meeting men online who misrepresent themselves in the pictures they post on the internet. Such a waste of time.
5. A one night stand couldn’t even be a 30 minute stand because he had erectile disfunction.
6.The guy you thought you had a connection with had a very small penis. Size DOES matter!
7. Men lie about being a father or lie about the number of children they actually have.
8. Men behave as if chivalry is dead.
Am I too late for this? I am not 100% single, I have a boyfriend, but at 37 that makes me technically single right?
Join in anytime! 🙂
Your site helped me jumpstart my life and my creative side again. I’m excited with this 30 day challenge 🙂
Here is my day 1

Still single because… well there are increasingly fewer men in western culture. Integrity, honor, being a man of your word, loyalty, courage….they are such rare, rare traits nowadays. So there are just alot more boys who never really grow up and thus just remain guys. So there are fewer and fewer real men. And there is no point in leading on a guy, who will ultimately be crushed/hurt when he finally realizes that his woman can’t truly respect him.

Hi I am a married man. How should I react when I got “I am still single” answer from a random woman above 30 ?
1. Awkward silence.
2. Oh ok. Awkward silence.
3. Ooh (pity face)
4. Hey it’s ok (smiling)
5. You know I got married late …..
Dont comment at all. Leave it alone.

When I was single, the 5 things that were most important to me in a future mate were:
1. Handsome/attractive – I need a little bit of eye candy. You don’t have to be ‘super fine’, but I need to be handsome with some kind of facial hair.
2. Outgoing – I don’t like boring men. I had one and obviously we are no longer together. I need someone who is open minded and willing to try new things. Life doesn’t have to be an adventure everyday, but at least be willing to be open minded and try something new.
3. Book smart and street smart – I need a man who is well rounded
4. No jealous men – Been there, done that. Very unattractive. Looking back at my experience, he was either jealous or had serious trust issues. I immediately ended that relationship when he accused me, several times, about not being at work and not seeing my car parked in the employee parking lot. I worked full-time and my car was always right in one of the front 3 parking spaces.
5. No kids – I tried to date men with children, but there always seemed to be an issue. Either they still had feelings for their childrens’ mother or they lied and painted themselves as ‘Father of the Year’ (more like father of THAT year) by having custody of their kids. Most of my experiences with men with children always ended up with men lying about the number of children they actually had. Instead of one child, it was more like 3 or 4 with one on the way……

Just curious how many women here are single mothers. Also, perhaps I am confusing the purpose of this blog (excuse me if I am) but how many are happy single and not looking for a relationship?

I was wondering if I could make a keepsake POV book, non commercial, printed only for myself, book version of my blog where I’ve answered these questions. The questions would be in the book, in your words, but the answers of course would still be my own. Would that be okay?

SW30 — here we go! Day 1: Your response to everyone’s favorite question: “And why are YOU still single?”
I don’t get this one often unless someone has been sneakily setting things up behind my back; there was this one night about ten months ago when I walked into a women’s dance and everybody was asking, as if I didn’t deserve to be. That’s never happened in my life, so I know someone decided to plant a few positive affirmations. Usually, people can tell it’s because of my size, and when I wasn’t fat, people could still see I was simply unattractive.
However, I do sometimes get it when talking online, and I take it one of two ways. Sometimes I ask why they think Adolf Hitler got married. Other times, I go all evolutionary psych. 101 on them — and I used to think that was the only way they’d get it. But recently, I heard someone talking about an exciting encounter and I realised just what I want to say to explain my waist-to-hip ratio and symmetry problems: although I have a good personality and dress quite well, my body and face are not built to make butterflies. That seems straightforward enough.
I’m a little late but I find this wonderful!
I have been trying to do 30 days…it’s tough!
Challenged accepted, Mandy! 🙂 Happy to join. I hope I’m not yet too late.
