In China they celebrate singleness in February.... by shopping! :lol:

Wikipedia wrote:

The Singles' Day (simplified Chinese: 光棍节; traditional Chinese: 光棍節) or Double 11 (Chinese: 双11), originally called Bachelors' Day, is a Chinese unofficial holiday and shopping season that celebrates people who are not in relationships.

Originally, the date was celebrated as a cynical response to traditional couple-centric festivals by a small group of college bachelors.

i counteract the bad feelings i get from it by reminding myself of america's 60% divorce rate for first marriages, and 90% rate for subsequent marriages. i think of all the money i'm saving and heartache i'm avoiding by being socially invisible.
