Why Do People Think Every Guy/babe Must Be In A Relationship? by FREEEMANAN(op): 2:16pm On Aug 09, 2015
This question was inspired by a discussion with my cousin today so I decided that We bring it here. WHY do most people, especially youths, believe that every guy or lady must be dating someone or be in a serious relationship?
Without even knowing the person, We sometimes assume that he/she must have a spouse. Is this a wrong perception and if yes, what is the reason for such.

When you even tell some folks that you don't have, They start sounding skeptical and judging you that you are lying in order to get a new catch...

So let's hear opinions from matured minds. Where are all these misconceptions coming from?

That's because from the word. "Go" till this moment, we have been taught to derive our sense of pleasure from things that are without.

We are made to believe that it is only things out there, such as money, fame, women, e.t.c that can give us a sense of fulfilment and peace.

The catch however, and what folks are realizing these days is that Joy, Love and Peace are not emotions.
They are states of being which one can only achieve by coming into a feeling-realization that they have within them, all that it takes to be happy....and that the money, women, relationships and what nots they seek are meant to be an offshoot, a manifestation, of all that they carry within.

Ever wondered why it is written...
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and Everyother thing shall be added unto you?

Now the problem world over is that people do not seek God within them, they depend on external works to find God....

Oops, I'm talking from another plane already. Apologiesgrin

Okay
*Clears Throat*

That's because it's a norm.
It is only Natural for humans to have feelings of affection for another, with whom they go into an intimate relationship.

Now when you're not part of that norm, you're seen as abnormal (now you know how the word "abnormal" came about).

That said, the world is evolving.

People are finding more priorities.

Besides, if a person thinks you are abnormal or incomplete because you are not currently dating, it only goes to show their own incompleteness and insecurities as a human being....

The implication then is something in the lines of "you must have a girlfriend to be happy"
"You must have a job to be fulfilled"

You get?

What I'm angling at now is that it doesn't necessarily have to be so.
It can be better.

27th October 2011 is a day i dont like to remember. I caught my own girlfriend having sex with another guy in her house. A girl i loved dearly and put my trust in her. Since then, i have vowed not to engage myself in any relationship till i am ready to get married.

So therefore, i will rather f*ck them and clean mouth than to engage myself in relationship with themangry

Some folks find it hard to accept that there will always be an exception to the rule.

When some girls get to hear that I have never been in a relationship, they would start some series of questions.

Are you normal?
Do you have feelings for girls?
bla bla bla...

That's it.... Abnormal is now the new normalcy... Painful thing is that some see it as a ticket to adulthood... like "I have a spouse, that make me a big boy/girl and fulfilled" .
And if you don't have, you are either gay or scared/inferior as far as They are concern. #Insane

That's an horrible experience I must confess... But let me register that you shouldn't because of the sins of the father punish the son. I Am not defending the females (God forbid), but just as a piece of advice. You should think about what you stand to lose...

Lol

There's an age an individual attains and people will start assuming he/she is either married or about to be, bros if when exchanging pleasantries with people that you just met ,and they keep addressing u as madam/oga grin how's the family ? How's ur wife and children ? Bro it means u are due for marriage , so if u do not hv a serious relationship , u are on a looooong thing.
So I think its natural for people to assume you should be in a relationship when ur biological clock is ticking fast

I doubt your read the topic
Re: Why Do People Think Every Guy/babe Must Be In A Relationship? by Nobody: 5:34pm On Aug 09, 2015
OP I agree 100% grin

Must everyone be single and ready to mingle. You can just be single and be doing your thing.

Serious relationships can be more stressful than fun.

*Modified*
Depends on your age sha. But these days if hey even ask secondary school girls who their boyfriend is and they say they don't have, most of una no go believe them.
