1. 5 things you should stop saying to single women over
30-something
2. Why are you Single? You just found out that the woman
sitting with you is single and you ask, Why are you single? You are
so (pretty, smart, funny, hot). Trust me, the single woman has
heard it. She knows and more than likely has been told that she is
pretty, smart, funny, hot or any combination of those things. The
question sets a negative tone.
3. Dont you want kids? You are discussing dating with your
single friend and you ask, Dont you want kids? If she does want
kids, congratulations you just got her thinking about something
that probably weighs heavily on her. If she does not, how is she
supposed to answer that question without negative judgment or
having to go into a lengthy explanation?
4. You work too much! Your single friend is discussing her
overwhelming workload and you say, you work too much. She has to -
she only has herself to rely on!
5. Do you really want to be a step-mom? You discover your
single friend is dating someone who has children and you ask, Do
you really want to be a step-mom? Talk about jumping the gun. They
are just dating. That statement is negative and being a step-parent
can truly be amazing!

referring to anything that you read regarding how hard it is to
find a life partner or get pregnant after a certain age. Trust me
she already knows! Besides, 78.6% of all statistics are made up!
