The Hilarious Truth Why You’re Single

You’re not looking in the right place.

Don’t assume you’re unlovable and meant to be single forever just because you’re having a tough time finding the love of your life. If things aren’t working out for you wherever you are right now, you might want to consider branching out to places outside your home country.

Trust me. It gets a lot easier for you out there.

Why It’s Harder to Date Nowadays

1. Your Standards Are Way Too High

If you’ve been on a dating app for more than a few months, you should know what I’m talking about.

Being on dating apps is like joining the Hunger Games. Everyone is fighting and competing to survive, except “survival” is either a pretty woman or a handsome man with abs on their profile photo.

Heaven help you if you’re a man looking for a woman to date — their standards for men have gone from difficult to nearly impossible!

Women these days are now overlooking the average Joe for borderline fictional characters, namely one who’s not only tall, attractive, and muscular but also young, rich, successful, and somehow has a flawless personality.

Humans aren’t perfect — that’s the beauty of being human — yet we still long for someone who probably only exists in our fantasies.

2. A Lot of People Just Want to Hook Up

Not everyone has the same goal online.

You might be trying to find the love of your life; however, most times, you end up with someone whose only intention is to sleep with people. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though, because everyone has their own thing, and they want their needs met too.

It’s still a bit discouraging when you meet someone you’ve grown to like, but then they decide not to see you again after your first tryst.

3. You Settle for the Love You Accept, Not the Love You Deserve

What happens when you can’t find the love that truly completes you?

You settle for less.

It’s easy to say, “don’t just settle.” In truth, it’s a lot harder not to settle with someone you find tolerable enough to be with.

Besides, there’s no guarantee you’ll find your soulmate anyway, so why bother looking for something else that isn’t there?

Why would you even leave something you’re already comfortable with?

However, settling will only lead to an unhealthy relationship later on.

You won’t even notice that you’ve become unhappy. And when you come to the reality–slapping conclusion of, “Hey, I’m not happy anymore, and I don’t like this,” it will already be too late. You’ll find yourself divorcing your supposed life partner at an older age, unsure if you’ll ever be able to find love again.

How to Stop Being Single

First off, get off the phone. Get off your computer too, for that matter.

Instead of waiting for something good to happen, why not take action?

There are singles tours around the world that allow you to meet hundreds of people who are also looking to get married. They’re also very easy to avail — just find a matchmaking agency/website you trust and book one of their tours.

No one ever said you should stop dating after getting divorced or when you’re past your prime. In fact, it’s never too late. Your soulmate could still be out there, waiting for you.
