10 Reasons Why You're Single (Or Unattached)

1. Your attitude. Your attitude determines your altitude and if you keep saying you're going to be single forever, you will be.

2. Your standards are too high. You want the perfect man/woman, yet you are far from perfect yourself. If you did find Mr./Ms. Perfect, why would they want you?

3. You're holding onto past hurts. So you broke up with your college sweetheart five years ago and they got married six months later. Get over it. It wasn't meant to be. For whatever reason God placed that person in your life to show you a thing or two and now it's time to move on.

4. Bad Karma. You messed with other women/men's boyfriends/girlfriends/wives/husbands and it's coming back to bit you in the a$$. Leave people who are in a relationship alone. Most men do not leave their wives and some husbands are deranged enough to want to kill you. Stick to single folks.

5. Your parents marriage failed or your parents never married. People often fear a real commitment because they paternal figures relationship's failed. It is not your fault, so why are you letting it stop you from getting into a relationship.

6. You Wanna Ride the Freak Train one more time. Some people honestly feel they are missing out on something if they get into a relationship. Enjoying yourself is fine, but who wants to be the old man at the club or the old h** at the bar?

7. You're selfish. You're to shallow and insecure to care about anyone let alone let them into your life.

8. You use your career or education as a disqualifying factor when choosing a mate/date. You think because you're making tons of money and are able to do whatever you want that you don't need nobody. Well your paycheck is not going to keep you warm, nurse you when you are sick, or listen to your bulls*** at the end of a bad day. So you have 3 master's degrees, good for you. Don't throw your education in someone's face, especially when they are trying to get to know you. While real men/women won't be intimidated, your constant rants about him not being educated will keep you in the single market. Encourage your partner to get a degree if that is what they want to do. And sistahs don't sleep on the blue collar bruthas!!

9. You listen to your family and friends too much or have them in your business. Taking bad advice, especially from someone who is not in a healthy relationship is a bad idea. Men, keep your mama/sister/auntie out of your kitchen. If you have a woman, it her duty to feed you, not your mama's. And men, please remember to do man things. No, we do not want to take out the damn trash! It's cold outside and somebody might grab me, plus our heels will get dirty! Women, you can be daddy's little girl without running to him for everything. Men want to be needed. If you need an oil change, ask your man. He will be more than happy to do it. And for goodness sake, LEARN HOW TO COOK and CLEAN! It ain't that hard to do.

10. You're unattractive. Not in the literal sense, but your energy is off and you don't exude the excitement of positivity a relationship requires. You have to use what you've got to get what you want, but this goes beyond a big booty or bank account. People of no substance will never be happy in a relationship. You have to have something to offer.
