This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself. Read more

I really appreciate this article Aimee. Thank you.

As I entered my 30s, I started to realize I just don’t want to date or be in anything resembling a relationship anymore. I have good friends, family and a dog I love. I do have an old friend in an open relationship who I text with a lot, get together with a few times… Read more

I get the “lower your standards” one ALL the fucking time from my female friends! It makes me so mad! What the heck, so wanting a man who respects me as a human being and is willing to have a truly equal partnership is having “too high standards”? Well then, I most DEFINITELY prefer to be alone forever vs. being with… Read more

I think you should refrain from offering unsolicited relationship advice to the author of an article explicitly describing how tired she is of receiving unsolicited relationship advice. Read more

I still don’t understand why people feel the need to give single people unsolicited advice about their romantic endeavors. It’s so rude. Read more

Your comment is the elephant in the parlor. The way I see it, we’re born alone, we die alone. Alone is the default mode. It seems like the general pop thinks that Coupled is the default, as though something is somehow wrong if you’re alone for long periods of your life. Read more

The most underrated fictional trope is the free spirited auntie of a certain age, who floats into down with wild gifts and wild stories of her adventures around the world. Read more

This is resonating with me like mad. I’ve always known in my gut that I’d be alone. and your description of this purgatory we get placed in, this holding pattern, is spot on. I will say that for me, the loneliness has reached a peak this year, and I’ve never felt quite so low and un-connected to people. The idea that… Read more

The lengthy “you can do it if you try these things!!!” responses further down the thread manage to accomplish the neat trick of missing this essay’s point and underlining and bolding why it needed to be written. Read more

The ones that told you to lose weight can go fuck Ted Cruz. Read more

Ugh. Everything about how we (meaning society) approach this whole relationship “goal” is so fucked up. We should all just be leading our best lives. If we happen, along the way, to find a person we want to share that life with, fine. If not, not. It should never be the goal of life. The goal should be living a… Read more

Thank you, Aimée, for this piece. It’s a wonderful expression of how we are meant to feel like our lives are still and empty because we aren’t in a relationship or aren’t pursuing one. Read more

I’ve never identified with a Jezebel post so much. I’ve been single for 15 years (I’m 30), not for lack of trying. I’ve given up trying to talk to my friends and family about how much it sucks and how much I’d love to have a partner because the reply is invariably “try harder. Lose weight. Join a club. Lower your… Read more

I never thought I would see so many overly-sensitive comments over a fucking Bill Simmons show. Chill out, angry commenters! We can't help it if Bill Simmons sucks. Read more
