    No. The most idiotic question in the world is,

    ..."what do you do?"

    translation: "How much money do you make?" That's what they're really asking. :)

    I think that's a really stupid question. I mean it's rarely that simple. If i was single and wanted to be in a relationship (which you probably do if you are on a speed dating night) and knew the definitive reason why I was single then I probably would have rectified the problem a long time ago and wouldn't be single anymore.

    I don't necessarily think it's rude, but it depends on whose doing the asking, IMO. (If a single man asks me, it's ok, but if random people ask, I do think it's rude.) I just have bad luck :( And I also think that despite what guys my age say, they are not really interested in looking for intelligent, self-supporting women and still hold out for (insert stereotypical career)-Barbie. Even when they look like trolls. With beer bellies. And bad teeth. And are not ambitious in the least.

    The search continues...

    When I was single, I was single because I was totally anti-commitment and flaky as hell. And I had a thing for horrible men who treated me badly on top of it. I knew the first two things then, but not the last.

    Now that I'm with a man who actually loves me and thinks I'm a worthwhile person, so I can see exactly how bad the men I kept breaking up with really were. But if you'd asked me then I would have definitely said "I hate relationships and I'm bad at them." So yeah.

    My husband left me for a vapid little blonde girl. I've dated a bit since, but eh, no one seems to want to actually be with me. Dating someone now, but he more interested in the other girl he's dating. :(

    So how do you answer that question when you get it?
    Do you answer with the stock "I just haven't found the right person"?

    For those that ask that question on the first date - and I know you're out there - don't you think that's a pretty rude question to ask someone you barely know?

    I always liked a version of the Bridget Jones answer:

    "Oh, I don't know.

    Suppose it doesn't help that underneath my clothes.. my entire body is covered in scales."

    and the rather truthful "I'm having too much fun as is - the world isn't ready for a double dose".

    But that is a daft question to ask on a first date - worst of all it is prompting the other person to comment on their last relationship which is something to avoiding discussing no matter what on a first date!

    This is the one thing about dating sites that really bug me. Income should never, ever be a question, unless a person chooses to divulge it of their own free will, and way down the road.

    In the context of speed dating, I think i'd give something pleasantly cheeky but at the same time offered no real information.

    Statistically speaking, married people have more and better sex. I think it's the hunt that people miss so much.
