Singlism

350th Blogpost-9th Guest Post-526 Subscribers on Facebook-335 Google Followers

 Being single has never been proved as being inadequate. According to a 2010 Pew research report, about 46% people opted for singlism. Many single people are the targets of so many stereotypes and discriminations. What for guys and why?
What if society regarded single life as just as valid as any other life? Then how many people would opt to be single. We are most likely to ponder that the 21st-century citizens are “oh- so sophisticated” but in fact there are social costs to something as innocuous as saying that you are happy, if you are single and that you declare to be single.
Image result for singlehoodThe question that has been bugging me lately is why whenever a married person says he is happy, everybody conforms to that. Nevertheless, whenever a single person says:”hey I’m happy”, everybody takes his words for mere brags. The 'Pavlov Reaction' of people has always appeared ambiguous to me!

 The fact that singles are stigmatized, stereotyped and ignored gets me furious and brings into me utter disgust. Those skeptics must come to the realization that those singles are equally humans too, so they came armed with their emotions.

 The only advice that I have for all the singles is “no matter how many deliberate, negative judgments’ to which you get subjected, please stand your ground. Do stay firm on your decision.” I firmly believe that out there, there are people who do not only choose to be single but definitely evaluate it with enthusiasm. I am one of them.
Long live singlism!

If a guy stares at you for a long time while smiling does he like you?

There's this guy at my work who I've been starting to get to know better, and I've noticed that every time he sees me he always gets this big smile on his face and he stares at me all the time. He has this look in his eyes that I can't really explain but it seems like he's fascinated or dreamy. Plus I'll be doing something and I'll look over at him and catch him looking right over at me, and he just smiles and I smile back. Today as he was leaving work I saw him from a distance but I didn't say anything because I wasn't going to shout across the parking lot, and he just developed this big smile while looking right at me, and I couldn't help but smile too. Then he came over and we talked a little before he left (he seemed nervous and he's kind of dorky, but I think it's cute) I don't know, I just feel like he stares at me just a little longer than any other person. I was wondering if this could mean he likes me? ...

Comparing the lifestyles of celebrities and ordinary people

Disney’s TV Show Hannah Montana depicts the female protagonist’s choice of leading an ordinary life despite being a celebrity. The show fluidly walks us through the distinct lifestyles of a celebrity and that of an ordinary person in terms of their set of values, ways of life, activities and attitudes. Whether celebrities and ordinary people are truly different would require a close diagnostic. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing celebrity and common man’s lifestyles is luxury . From the sports industry to the entertainment industry, from politicians to business tycoons, the mantra “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” seems to be painted all over the walls that frame celebrity life. Because of the power and extraordinary amount of wealth they have, celebrities live a life that the normal man can only dream of. For instance, with real-estate assets worth more than just a few million dollars across the world, celebrities have better vacation options than an ordi...

Ours is a world of relative values.

Nothing is absolute; all is   relative,   since any thought or actions cannot be seen outside of the context in which they exist or happen. The good or bad we know or perceive is heightened by our experiences or senses, and that there is no way of arriving at a universal adage. What someone   think   is good may or may not be good to someone with different contexts or experiences. In fact, good and bad are relative. But now, this could lead to utter anarchy. There must be some things which are either entirely good or entirely bad. Unquestionably, irrevocably. For thousands of years, most people believed that telling the truth, not stealing, being faithful to your partner, being kind, keeping your word, forgiving people who’ve done you wrong, and not murdering were  absolute truths . If people disobeyed these truths, they knew their actions   were wrong . This is not the case with most Americans today. In the last 50 years, there’s be...
