10 Women Reveal Why They Secretly Think Their Female Friends Will Be Single Forever

There might be a reason why you’re still single — at least, according to your friends. Although they might not point out what you’re doing wrong to your face, they could secretly be thinking you need to make some changes. Here are some women from Ask Reddit explaining why they think their BFF is going to be single forever:

“The type of guys she claims she likes isn’t what she’s actually attracted to. She keeps saying how much she loves shy introverted sensitive guys but when she finds one and dates him suddenly ‘he’s not outgoing enough, doesn’t speak his mind enough, and is too shy!’ I kind of think she has this I can fix him syndrome and doesn’t really acknowledge it. Like, she’s attracted to the idea of a typical shy guy but thinks once they’re in a relationship they’ll suddenly be more open and turn into the guy she actually wants. That’s not how it works!” — Disig

“Desperation. From laughing way too hard at mediocre jokes to bringing up marriage on the first date, she reeks of it. We have all tried talking to her about it to no avail. The sad thing is that if she was just her regular funny, smart, relaxed self then men would be falling over themselves trying to get her number.” – Julia_Sugarbaker123

“She’s a beautiful girl, like seriously one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in real life, but she needs CONSTANT validation. No man on the planet can give her the validation she requires.” — Pinkgirl0825

“She’s scared of trying. She’s constantly trying to put things off until the stars align and everything is just right. I’m not supposed to know but she recently got into dating sites and found a guy that she’s interested in and they’ve been texting for a few weeks but have never had a phone call and every time the guy tries to set up an in person date she gives an excuse as to why they shouldn’t yet. She’s her own worst enemy and while I love her to death she’s gonna be alone for a while until she can learn to fail.” — D_dizzy192

“They’re super successful, smart, funny, and good looking. But they also tend to go for folks who leave them on read for days. Their insecurities are their worst enemies and I think is the biggest factor of them chasing after partners who don’t want to be partners.” — thunderkitty_

“Her standards are excessively too high. She brings nothing to a relationship. She’s a walking contradiction, all of which is why she is single. I think it’s great to have standards and high standards but hers is just a checklists of wants.” — Theunpolitical

“I always wondered why she couldn’t get a date because she is gorgeous, until I saw her flirting with someone. First night they met, flirted, swapped numbers. Then, immediately clingy. Talking in baby voice to him and making baby noises. He made a completely inoffensive comment which she found offensive, and threatened to slap him. Not shocking at all when he never called.” — robocop_robocop

“She’s really overdue for growing up and learning to self-reflect. She really needs to finally grow and allow herself to change. She’s pretty, she’s funny, she’s a great time to go out with. Never a dull moment. She’s also not changed much at all since we were teens. She is a mess. Doesn’t clean, doesn’t cook, can’t hold down a job, lives paycheck to paycheck, prioritizes a good time over everything else, extremely unstable overall. No accountability for how her actions effect her own life and especially the lives of others. Somehow still has high expectations of her potential partners, but she doesn’t bring much to the table and doesn’t seem to ever hold herself to the same standards or ‘rules’. Sometimes you really do need to slow down and get a grip on your mental health and your life in general first before actively seeking out relationships. I’ve watched her wreck so many people that had good intentions for her without ever even recognizing how she hurt them.” — foxspells

“They talk WAY too much. Even during texting my friend is sending paragraphs to people they just met.” — TaiyedTree21

“Instead of communicating, she has a short temper and throws a passive aggressive attitude when someone disagrees with her. It could be the most minor issue and she needs to make sure her voice is the most dominant in the conversation. As her friend, I try to keep my opinions neutral and felt like I’ve walked on eggshells with her for close to a decade. She was never problematic to me until recently when she has shown me a side to her that I think led to her recent break up and why she has issues with men long term.” — emeraldpotion
