Are you a quirkyalone?

Sexual Health

Liz Hoggard writes about Quirkyalone: A Manifesto For Uncompromising Romantics, American Association of Single People and the greedy, manipulative dating industry.

Which can only be magnificent news for we refuseniks who simply will not go on another blind date, who quiver at the mention of 'lock and key parties' or whizzy new concepts like 'silent dating' and 'dating in the dark'. Society may inundate us with the message that something is wrong if you don't have a permanent boyfriend or girlfriend, but the truth is: sometimes you're in relationships and sometimes not.

What strikes me about the dating 'shortcuts' is that they're like fad diets. You hear about a new one and it seems to offer everything you were hoping for. Then when it doesn't pan out, you get more depressed. Eventually, you think: why am I doing this? I can be happy without it.

Let's say it loud: We're single... and proud

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Are you a quirkyalone?. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
