In a recent column on the Huffington Post, "Why I'm Single," writer Lea Lane lists all the reasons that she's still single. Why? So she can send the URL to all the nosy, possibly well-meaning busy-bodies who keep asking her why she isn't in a relationship.
Lane presents a persuasive case; it almost made me wish for the days I, too, had the whole bed to myself. She's one of what I'll call the "Happies," women who are perfectly content with their single status.
They don't want for a companion; they love their solitude and have enough friends, hobbies, and passions to keep themselves busy.
Although, most Happies, like Lane, are "open to options, and do understand the beauty and wonder -- and blessing -- of a good relationship," they neither actively seek one nor passively hope and pray one comes their way. The Happies say they don't need a relationship to be content, and, by God, they mean it.
On the other side of the single lady spectrum, you've got the "Crappies." They're the single ladies with really crappy attitudes. Take, for example, Jezebel's Megan Carpentier, who responded to Lane's column with a list of her own, a list that not only doesn't make me a little nostalgic for my single days, it makes me sort of, well, sad -- for her.
I'm sad for the Crappies, because, as much as they say

Is that “Happies” or “Harpies”?
Probably “Fatties”.
I had a neighbor once who when asked why she wasn’t married answered that she had had so many husbands why in the world would she want one of her own.
They won’t be very happy when they are all alone on their deathbed, and wonder why there’s nobody there.
“Haggies” would be more like it.
Some people should stay single.
If you are happy being single...then people should stay that way...i agree..relationships are hard work but worth it imo...i didn’t like being single...i like to share.

I added a comma and an exclamation point.
It flows better now.
I’m a single male, I like women, and most certainly would not turn any decent lady away if she were to show interest in me.
I most certainly can relate to any straight female that would rather be alone. It all comes down to either being lonley or being in a bad relationship.
That’s the kind of person I’d like to know, these ladies need to know that there are plenty of guys like me that are much the same way, don’t go for games, stupidity, bad attitudes, Drug addiction, irreconcilable personal problems. etc..
Hey, more power to the cautious. First: lunch, then take it from there.
the ironic thing is that, with the feminization of our society, men will become less desirable people for which you want to live your life. What you’re seeing in society, you’ve seen in liberal politics for decades. No wonder most lib chicks eventually become lesbians.
