Because I'm 165lbs I don't really get asked that 'cause it's not expected I'd be in a relationship so I suppose in a strange way I'm fortunate. Of course the 165lbs (non-muscular) weight and not looking buff shirtless means no pretty girl will be attracted to me and I'll probably die alone. Ah well, you play the cards you're dealt.

edit: I know, hardly clinical obesity but still rolls.

Puhleaze!! Unless you are like 4'5 feet tall, 165 pounds (in and of itself) is hardly unattractive. An attitude like that is more unattractive than anything!

Isn't 165 lb a very normal weight for most men?

Sorry that was a typo. It should actually have read 185 pounds. According to the BMI index it's overweight. At least it doesn't say I'm obese, I guess.

And you KNOW this, girlfriend! (Said in my best Chris Tucker voice)

Or better yet, "why don't you use something or keep your legs closed"? and "where are your babies daddies?"

Those are the same people I want to ask, "When are you having a tubal ligation?"

Everytime I visit my family, they always ask where my bf is. He doesn't like going out except for neccesities. He does everything through the internet. He doesn't really like inlaws. Not just mine, but with his previous ex's also. So he definitely doesn't like driving 3 hours to visit my family.

If people ask, tell them that you are too much of a slut to be with just one man. Trust me, they will never ask again.

hahahhhaha what a great solution!!

new season, new love.....

my sister is the oldest of the two of us so they ask her all the time who is she seeing and where is he. as for me, i am only home for one day this thanksgiving and then i have to leave because of finals.

maybe santa can bring me a hottie so i can take her home for christmas.

I swear at least every other time I talk to my parents (well my mom and it is at least a couple times a week as I am an only child and they still treat me like I am 6) I get the question "so do you have a girlfriend yet?" I swear one of these days I am gonna bust out and say..."no I screw a lot of girls but I wouldnt call them girlfriend...especially since I dont know their names"...I wonder if that will shut them up

I've finally been "asked" this question by my grandmother this year - I have another cousin who is unmarried, and the two of us are the only grandchildren (of the first "group" of them) who are unmarried. I don't think my grandma talked to her about this, but she said to me "Maybe next year you'll bring someone to the family gathering for us to meet!"

I love my family dearly, but I don't think I'm ready to have anyone I would be seeing be subjected to the craziness that is our family!

[Buttonz]

At least I know for sure that I won't be getting asked this one this year...although I've gotten the 'Are you seeing anyone up at school' question which annoys me to no end.

Since I've been divorced for 5 years now, when I was at my cousin's funeral last month, I was asked if I was dating anybody. I looked at my cousins who asked me that and said "Why in the world would I want to do that?". LOL It was the first time I have ever, in my 40 years, confronted the Italian traditional attitudes that you are nothing if you are not married.

I think twice is enough, thanks.

I hear from my great grandmother every time I see her, "Well, why did you go to college if you weren't going to find a husband?"

At my baby brother's wedding, one of my aunts I hadn't seen in ages asked me, "So when's your turn?" To which I replied, "Well, my boyfriend just dumped me two days ago, thanks for bringing it up, and I don't think it will be anytime soon. I'm going to go enjoy my brother's wedding now." It was true and I've been left alone since.

I think they all waver between wanting to find me a husband and feeling sorry for "poor Crystal" who has to spend all of her time doing things she couldn't do if she were married.

That's awesome. What was the response?

[AGDee]

We all just laughed. I said it in a joking manner. I think I made my point though!

[Rio_Kohitsuji]

I feel sorry for all ya'll!

My parents were the kind that no matter how nice/successful/great guy you happened to be dating was, you should dump him and concentrate on your school! They always got upset to see a daughter (there's 5, no boys) start dating! They see children and men as obstacles to their daughters professional life, heh.


So, it always sucked if you brought your bf to a family event....they'd always mention how you should be doing your homework!

*A note

My sister and her now-hubby were having a fight over the phone a few weeks before their wedding (mostly due to stress, you know the drill). Well, my dad got on the line and yelled, "You don't have to mary that asshole!" Ahh, classic moment...apparently my bro-in-law (who is a wonderful guy) still brings that up
