Nope. Especially since I moved to Thailand and no longer felt pressured to "find someone."
The US puts unnatural emphasis on relationships, assuming that if you're single, there's something "wrong" with you, and concerned friends and relatives constantly try to set up their single friends, as though they were charity cases.
In Thailand, many/most professional women stay single, to be able to keep their money and independence, and married couples frequently don't even live in the same town, as husbands often live with their mothers.
Even if married couples live together, most people here seem to be bi, and both spouses often have lovers of both genders. Many don't seem to consider gender at all, actually.
Sometimes, just hearing about longtime cultures so different to my own really bums me out, it’s like I’ve wasted mine here in the US … where everything is centered on commercialism..
My oldest daughter’s not concerned with having children and just described her plan to live in Hawaii for a year… My ex wife/ her mother is freaking out.. while I welcomed such an enlightened view, feeling as though ‘my own’ is now expanding my concept of humanity… Dare I mention Thailand
I hate to tell you this, but this is a holiday that targets women specifically. Don't let corporate marketing dictate your feelings.
The whole holiday is designed to make people feel depressed and excluded.
??????????????
I thought it was so businesses could make money

Depressed a few times because of recent break ups. Singled out no.
Nope. Have you? Want to tell us about it?
I used to when I was in jr. high, but I guess at that time, it is common for girls that age lol.
@EmeraldJewel junior high there may be hormones but is like you said, common for girls that age... at that age girls are more mature than boys so they go to the arms of older boys. Survival starts early, and once it starts... never ends. good luck this 14th.
