"Have a girlfriend yet?"

[Tiga KParticipant 1693]

I hate that damn question. I used to get asked that or something similar by people at family reunions when I was in high school. After I started college, they stopped asking. I guess the fact that me and my two brothers always gave stern “no” helped put that to an end. What do you guys have to put up with? I have an uncle that has never married (though he has dated in the past), so maybe my family is less annoying about it. He is rarely questioned about it, but when he is he laughs a little and says something like “not happening”. I have a feeling it might be the same for me, but I don’t know. Maybe once I hit 30 a new wave of annoying questions will come my way.

Sorry ladies but I already asked my hand in marriage already , it hasn’t given me a verbal response yet but it always seems to know when i’m in the mood

[RennieParticipant]

Nope, do you?

[MENGINEERParticipant 583]

Always asked by my family:

Do you have GF? Are you getting married yet?

(No thanks I am a bachelor not looking)

Did you buy a house yet?

(I am just fine renting my little shack)

After 30+ they kind of stop asking if you give them the same answer year after year..

My sister used to try that crap when i was a teenager.

She’s a couple of years older than me and rode the c~~~ carousel like there was no tomorrow when she was younger. They have no idea at that age what real life is like because men just bend over backwards for young women and they think everything in life just falls into place and everyone gets treated wonderfully. She’s not so c~~~y now that she’s over the hill and pretty much invisible to men. I rarely speak to her nowadays either.

I had a girlfriend …. several in fact …. also had a wife.

After all of this ….. not one of these women could meet my very average standards of acceptability.

Now fk off ?

[hmskl’dParticipant 6406]

I would respond to that question by asking them .. Is this supposed to be someone who I start missing as soon as I hang up the phone?
..in that case the answer is Nein 🙂

Perfect description of how i feel. Women nowadays are so lackluster that they fail to meet my reasonable standards….so much female trash out there. No, i don’t want your f~~~ing kid from another man….

On a side note, I can’t remember which member has the quote “I bathe in the tears of single moms..” But it kills me every time i read it. Killer line!

They ask you about girlfriend, for some reason they kept asking me if I was gay. I just smile and say- I don’t know, lets go find out. Guys usually laugh and girls just walk away.

I i spoke directly with the only one who asked me this and the only one who deserves the truth… i said to my mom: “Your son will always be in pain during his life…because he would wanted someone who will loves him… but he KNOW that is better to be alone…” she doesn’t repeat the question anymore…

: “Have a girlfriend yet?”
: “Well… despite all the sex, I wouldn’t really call any of them friends.”

That usually shuts ’em up.

my friends and parents know about my past girlfriends and f~~~ buddies, I explained to them (without going too much deep) my new mindset and they just told me that if it makes me feel better than it’s ok. gladly i’m not sorrounded by idiots.

[uchibenkeiParticipant 7965]

if i would be asked that, i would respond with a question equally as stupid. Like “Do you have tapeworm yet?” or “Do you regret being married yet?”

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

Person: “do you have a girlfriend?”

Me: “No, too damn expensive to upkeep one”

I’ve either got a laugh, or a butthurt response.

When you hit your 30s it turns into my all time favorite:

My father, despite being a tradcon, respects my opinion and tells me to enjoy my life however I want. My mother rationalizes it and makes up weird theories like the girl craving just hasn’t hit me yet (despite me being 23 years old). My siblings share my mgtow attitude. So, may close family doesn’t bother me about it, it’s just the extended family.

“girl craving” UGH SMH

[MarkusPolusParticipant 163]

At family gatherings they have stopped asking, I am sure they have their own theories and I really could care less. My mother however will never stop asking and I have a feeling when I hit 30 she will start blaming herself that I don’t have a gf (she LOVES playing the victim and is over dramatic.) The thing is she won’t actually think it is her fault but will be a ploy to make me feel bad that I am putting my mother through that and force me to get a girlfriend. I can see it now folks it is only a matter of time before she starts this tactic, she is a pro manipulator.

My dad keeps telling me to lease a new car. Says I need a new car because women won’t be impressed with my current car nor would they want to be driven around in it. Being 26 he must be thinking I’m at the ripe age to start dating and courting women for marriage.
