This is for all my singles in the struggle…resist the urge to find some winter snuggle..

There are 92 million unmarried Americans, and this is their week.

Since the 1980s, the third full week of September has been National Singles Week. Started by Ohio’s Buckeye Singles Council as a way to recognize the role singles play in society, it is now known as National Unmarried and Single Americans Week. According to the U.S. census, the adjusted name acknowledges that many unmarried Americans do not identify with the word “single” because they have partners or are widowed.

I know there are some of you frantically trying to find that special someone for the winter season..resist I say, for you shall regret it when there comes a time to get snowed in with said seasonal specialness and lo and behold…u wanna throw them out or kick them in the teeth for invading your space and being uber needy..

I know you guys fight with the stereotype that singles are, miserable, lonely, self-centered but having said that you don’t transform into a healthy happy person once you’re married or with someone..well maybe for those people who need need need to be boo’ed up but, still

According to Bella DePaulo here is a list of myths when it comes to being single..

1. The wonder of couples: Marrieds know best. –>they do?..hell no they don’t

2. Single-minded: You are interested in just one thing – getting coupled.–> the hell if I am..

3. Unhappy: You are miserable and lonely and your life is tragic.–>u’re right..miserable from having all this fun and not sleeping…lol

4. Selfish: Like a child, you are self-centered and immature and your time isn’t worth anything because you have nothing to do but play.–> yup, im pretty selfish with my time…but i’m not childlike

5. Single women: Your work won’t love you back and your eggs will dry up. Also, you don’t get any and you’re promiscuous.–> lol, damn my eggs are finna dry up..no doubt..i can get my josephine baker on..plenny of love needed in the foster system anywho..ps. i dont want my work to love me back..ewwwwwwwww..and promiscouity..nice..but nope

6. Single men: You are horny, slovenly and irresponsible, and you are the scary criminals. Or you are sexy, fastidious, frivolous and gay.–> lol..i mean i cant weigh in on this

7. Single parents: Your kids are doomed.–> I think my child would be rather fashion savvy and forward thinking..

8. Incomplete: You don’t have anyone and you don’t have a life.–> without you..my life is incompleteteeeeee(C) sisqo… ummm i think i have more love in my life than the average bear..or the average person who sleeps next to someone every night just for shits and giggles.

9. Pitiful: You will grow old alone and you will die in a room by yourself where no one will find you for weeks.–> crazy cat lady here i come..best believe someone will find me..if i dont answer my phone..besides ella would run for help..i think

10. Undervalued: Let’s give all of the perks, benefits, gifts and cash to couples and call it family values.–> family values, family smalues…they just get better tax breaks…but getting them $$ taken out ya check for health benefits suck when it’s 3 or more..hell 2
