I think singletons in the current economy deserve tax breaks.
“Are Men Necessary” by Maureen Dowd
Didn’t know where to put this, so I put it here
. Just wanted to send a note to say how much I love love love this blog! It makes me warm to my toes to know that others out there are fighting the good fight for singleton self-esteem and societywide respect. It is easy to feel isolated amongst a sea of couples, so thanks for throwing out the friendly buoy to another like-minded onely.
Best,
Megan-Fay
Thanks so much Megan! Yours is the kind of feedback that helps inspire us to keep writing when really sometimes we would just rather watch America’s Psychic Challenge on the Internet. = ) So the “Things We Like” section is the perfect place for your comment! I also like “singleton self-esteem”. SSE!

I love this!!
Good call Leigh. We actually posted about this video a while back but never listed it here, so I’m glad you’ve done it for us. Our “Things We Like” page is woefully underpopulated. We set it up when we first established Onely but haven’t really touched it since. Yay for readers who are populating it for us. = )
