      Might be a good time to downplay the importance of a relationship for a happy life then instead of trying to push the message that your life sucks if you don’t have one.

        Maybe being alone works for some people, but the desire for intimate relationships is a biological drive in human beings

          My point was that making people feel worse about their situation likely won’t improve the outcome. People either would be happy without a partner or they won’t and those who won’t don’t need an external push to try to find a partner and both groups might feel worse if they are publicly branded a failure for not having a partner.

      Yup and it’s a problem that only becomes worse over time
