Why are couples so mean to single people?As someone who was in a relationship up until the beginning of this year but who has been happily single since, quite a lot of what he says does strike a chord, from both sides of the fence. And if you think it's all rubbish, read the article he links. My god...

I must admit, after 20 years living alone and now in a relationship, I've never experienced anything like that.

I'll follow on from this and say not only have I never experienced anything like that, your 'friends' would have to be quite inconsiderate to your feelings - even if 'only joking' - to be so bold/rude to ask you why you don't have a partner. Sure, asking if there's anyone special would be fine, but being so rude as to not accept whatever you answer wouldn't cross the minds of the people I consider my friends. Mark

I'll remember that line  Me and the gf have quite a few mutual friends but I don't think it's been an issue from what I can tell _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

my dad used to make that kind of comment but I would never say that to anyone unless they mentioned it first.

I have used something similar with a girlfriend. I told her I had a thing for sheep, and would ask her to wear her sheepskin coat in bed and go "baaaa" for me. _________________Do concentrate, 007...
