singles

Let's be real here: people can be nosy. We all know it's true. We also know nosy people ask nosy questions.

Sometimes, the intent isn't malicious, but that doesn't make the questions any less hurtful.

Other times, the question's intention is clearly meant to embarrass or demean. One of the rudest questions that come of this question is asking why you are still single.

There is nothing wrong with being single, whether it's by choice or not, but you would never know, thanks to the number of times this question gets thrown around. What we need is a response that would shut them down and stop them cold, so you'll never get asked the questions again -- at least, not by the same person.

That was probably the thought behind the question Redditor Bright-Dig-6665 asked:

"What is the best response to "Why are you still single?""

There were some truly inspired responses!
