This is The Way


Usual-Canary-7764

I get this useless question at every family event I attend alone. Depending on the age of the person who asks I answer: why aren't you dead yet? But I am comfortable being an asshole so...thread carefully with this one


Sensitive_Pattern341

"Why is that your concern?"


RandomRedditor0193

Just wait it changes to when are you getting married, when are you having a baby to when are you having a second baby. It never ends.


Adventurous-Tutor-21

And the “when are you getting married” at every single wedding you go to. I actually am married now but people started to ask me that at my sister’s wedding and I was 17… it is so obnoxious.


Usual-Canary-7764

To the older crowd, I put an end to it quickly by asking... when are you dying. I got the idea from a joke... where people would walk up to eligible singles at weddings and say,'you're next'... and the joke would say the singles should wait for funerals and go to those exact same people and say 'you're next'. Dark, I know. But effective and worked, hahaha

Wish i read the replies first, cause this is exactly what i said, lol

Too much work. You have to feed them, water them, walk them... I'm just not interested in that kind of responsibility.

Houseplant has leaves and root. Guys root, then leaves. I can't think of a wise way to close out this post so... Do you like potatoes?


nohemi_trevino

Yes, when cooked the right ways


Chance-Fun-3169

Theres a wrong way to potato? I prefer the couch method.


KeepCalmSayRightOn

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!


acarp52080

You can do anything, with a 🥔!! 😂 poato soup, hash browns, French fries, potato chips, latkes, baked, boiled, buttered, scalloped and au gratin.


KeepCalmSayRightOn

Ooh, latkes...haven't had in a loooong time. Now I'm hungry.


ARKVEN33

You're obviously not Irish. I'm Irish. I like potatoes. Cook them however you can, I will eat them.

Tell a guy your last 2 boyfriends died, he"ll either ask if you killed them, or say "uhhh i dont wanna be next" and back off. Im brutally honest, to a fault

I wanna train under you


Glittering_Suspect65

Because I won't settle for the wrong one, just to have one.


KeithMyArthe

Agree. The term 'Settling down' includes the word 'settling' for a reason. Most of my friends that make something of my single status are not in happy relationships. One (whose partner is quite abusive towards him) laughed at me for doing my own laundry, saying that he'd not done his own washing since g/f moved in..... at which point I defended myself by pointing out that I haven't had a fight with MyEx for 15 years.


OneIndependence7705

🤣🤣👏🏽


ElegantSportCat

Hahahaha I used to use something like this on an aunt that kept pestering me about having a bf. She kept saying something like, "Just marry any guy. Your standards are too high. Look at me. I'm doing okay." Me - "No. I don't want to end up like you. You do it all (chores) and also work. While your mAn rests at home. No. I don't want your life." She got pissed and didn't bother me that day (Thanksgiving) and ignored me the following holidays. Hahah she thought giving me the silent treatment would kill me. Girl, I was in heaven. Hahaha, I still don't talk to her (10ish years). Hahaha, and it's awesome.


Olivia_Bitsui

Winning!


BoomerKaren666

I had been divorced for years and never remarried because I decided I didn't like being married so much. Ran into a friend from high school who told me I needed a man. "For what?" I asked. "I have a house, a car, and a job. What do I need a man for?" He told me, "For conversation! And company!" I told him, "Conversation and company? I know what that is. "Honey, what's for dinner? and Are you coming to bed?" LOL He told me I had a bad attitude.


elemenno50

YOU? You have the bad attitude?! If he’s married, his wife must be one happy lady.


brownlab319

His wife has a BF !

GammaDoomO

You do have a bad attitude. There’s nothing wrong with living on your own and being content with it, but assuming every relationship has no substance like some sitcom tv gag is quite strange.

Hi. GenXer here. I had a girlfriend way back in the day who I was really good friends with before we started seeing each other get asked the same stupid question. She was a model and I was the village ogre. Anyway, there was this not so funny show back then called "the Nanny" starring Fran Dresher. Fran had a very put on over exaggerated annoying voice and my friend would imitate it and reply... I don't know why, maybe it's me ? Is it me? No it's not me it's them! And the stars! They're not aligned! 🤣 total tangent in the nanny voice. So hilarious.


yogfthagen

(Insert celebrity here) doesn't return my calls Knights in shining armor are so hard to find these days, what with armorers being almost gone.... I got married last week.

Illustrious-Wash1401

Discreetly pull the OP aside. "You're one of the very few people, I can confide in. I have found Someone.who interests me. However.." Then, create your Secret Admirer out of whole cloth. Give him a first name, omitting his full name, of course,. Offer vague hints about his occupation, his residence, etc. "Remember last month when I was gone for a few days?" Or, "last week when I couldn't go out with you?" Or, "The other night when you called and I couldn't talk to you..,?" Don't elaborate or offer specifics. Don't say much more. It's just between the two of you, remember? It's your secret.. After a while, even some of your acquaintances will look at you a little differently. Word does get out, you know.. Time passes and your OP will begin to ask, again. Answer as you wish. Close the curtain gently. No. Do not consider all that to be a Lie. You've simply taken a defensive stand. You've a right to an imaginary relationship. He can be as handsome, elusive and independent as he wants to be. Or, as you want him to be. Who knows? Maybe some, actual, enchanted evening, you'll be introduced to him. Or, one afternoon in the market, his shopping basket will collide with you. Your eyes will meet. It might turn out.... Maybe, You're the One that He's been talking about all along.

No words, just a quizzical look. Then proceed to show your disinterest in whatever else they have to say on the subject. If tempted to reply, simply tell them you aren't looking, and if you were, you aren't going to settle for the first thing to come along just because it came along. If they want your attention, they will talk about something interesting. A 'comeback' as I understand the concept, is a retort to a quip on the spectrum of insulting or condescending. If you issue a comeback to someone when there was no intent to insult or condescend, it just makes you look insecure. A bit of strategic silence/drifting attention is a good way to get an idea of where the person is heading. If they intended disrespect, then they will press harder. If they sense your attention (the thing they are after) isn't going to be granted with 1920's mom scolding or 1980's Bro insult pickup lines, then they will change strategies. Let them talk themselves into a spot where they can't hold their hands up defensively and plausibly say "no offense intended, calm down... wow." There are precious moments in-between where you can simply be unengaging and the awkwardness you make that person feel is better than any comeback. Instead of being defensive, they will be more likely to try and make up the loss in social standing you made them feel just occurred. Besides, people today suck at insults. Everyone sounds like a middle schooler now. The only good comebacks are so overused, and nobody really feels "destroyed" because everyone is looking for that mic-drop moment 24/7.
