Single+Female=Pathetic...HUH?!?

IF status=single AND gender=female
THEN the individual is pathetic and would benefit from or be interested in products and services to help them end their lonely & miserable existence.

Apparently, those mining my data on myspace for the sake of customizing advertisements for me must think so!

My profile used to list my status as divorced. But then I started to realize an influx of advertisements to help me save my marriage. I was consistently receiving friend invites from "people" advertising relationship help books, groups and classes. I became disgusted and changed my status to single. After-all, both were indeed true.

Well, the "friend" invites stopped but I suspect that has more to do with Myspace cracking down on that crap because the advertisements remain. I mean, do I possess no other demographic that is of any interest? What is perhaps worse now are the advertisements geared towards the sad little woman that can't get or keep herself a man. Abundant are the ads for dating sites as well as advise on "why men pull away", "what attracts a man physically is not what attracts him emotionally", "finding Mr. Right", blah blah blah and such topics.

Ok, really? Do people really click on this shit? I mean, if someone is selling I would assume someone is buying but seriously now. At any rate, this is yet another RANT of mine on the topic of the initially stated assumption. Let's review to make sure we are clear:

A single female is an unhappy female.
If a female is single it is because something is wrong with her.
If a female is single she must not know how to get or keep a man.
A single female wants nothing more than to be coupled.
Being single is undesirable and a truly miserable way to live.
People, especially females are incapable of functioning alone.

Hmm...did I cover everything? LMAO!!!

If I didn't absolutely love myspace for keeping in touch and up to date with a number of friends, I swear I'd cancel my account over this. I cringe and I kinda want to throw up a little every time the homepage loads and I get to see what new advertisements have been delivered specially for my supposed pathetic self.

UGH! I HATE stereotypes. I HATE labels. I HATE titles. I HATE social expectations associated with said stereotypes, labels and titles. I don't fit neatly in any little box and sure, some people do. But honestly the only up side to this clear insult on my character is the comical fact that these companies think they are doing a good job marketing their target audience. What is mildly entertaining is their ads do not interest me. On the contrary they disgust me. They probably spend a good deal of money on their methods and with me, they couldn't be more wrong.

Really and truly people, I LOVE being single. I see it all the time, people doubting that statement of mine. And despite numerous disclosures in any and all online profiles, I still get people trying to date me. Folks, I'm just not interested...really.
