How come nobody ever asks, “Why are you married?” I think I might try that sometime.
Please, Jen, give it a whirl, and let us know how that goes.
So funny! Really, I agree, what is there to say? I’ve used them all except I’ve never had 9 or 10 boyfriends. But I have been sarcastic plenty of times.
I hate the question. I like Jen’s solution to turn the tables and ask, “why are you married?”
My favorite response is ” Just lucky, I guess.” I haven’t been asked this for a looooong time, but I’d really love to use that phrase!
Amen Jennifer!
Love this comic. Wendy – you might have this addressed somewhere on the site, but is there some way to purchase the pictures you have posted. I’d LOVE to have a copy of this somewhere in my apartment 🙂
Lola, Whenever possible I post a link to the artist’s web page. Here’s a link to Corinne Mucha’s shop: http://goo.gl/rBV0F
Also, check out the gallery section of my site, called “ART SEEN” https://firstpersonsingular.org/gallery/ for a look back at the art work I’ve posted.
When sarcastic doesn’t stop the questioning, I go with the reality “No one is interested,” which is awkward but forestalls further platitudes, “You’re too particular,” “You just need to ‘get out there” and my favorite, “It’ll happen as soon as you stop looking.”
No, it won’t. Why can’t people just leave it alone?
Thanks Wendy!
Noelle, I’ve used my own variation, “Women don’t want me.” But it doesn’t work. I still get, “You just haven’t met the right one” (Meaning those who have several relationships meet several “right ones”?), “There’s someone for everyone” (Then why are there those of us who never find anyone?). Plus your second and third examples. They can’t accept that it’s ultimately down to plain, dumb, horse***t luck–like everything in life.
