Single

Not being in relationship with a significant other, natural state of a human. Humans are not pair bonding species like mute swans, the idea of males living with females and providing them is a really backward thinking that religion imposes on society. Hence all people except priests were forced to be married and... great atleast unmarried live happy right?(you know boink anyone they like and dump them). Not so soon. Eventually younger people were brainwashed to pursue marriage and any kind of premarital intercourses were banned, thus marrying up became this great thing that men felt lucky to do. Fast-forward ideas of liberalism spread and along with development in science which destroyed religion. Now most western people f anyone they like. But still men still retain a little bit of simpery, that they must couple with other women (women readily accepts because he pays her bills) so people introduced their own version of marriage which doesn't involve government bs involved. Just like ancient people used to shame and make fun of people who choose to stay unmarried (except priests) even modern men in this scientific world still retain a form of shaming done towards single people "who are not in relationship with partners" (especially men) So after all this history lesson. One take away is to just use ur brain to objectively choose what you require in life. Humans are beyond "Monkey see, Monkey do, if not other monkeys bully" attitude.
