I've been thinking about this lately. Why is this such a widely used insult in almost every online game? People say it as if it constitutes that having a girlfriend proves something. Many people are capable of getting a girlfriend, yet choose not to. Let me elaborate a bit;

I've had like 3 serious relationships (I'm almost 17), and my current relationship will have lasted for 5 months on Wednesday. And to be honest, (everyone knows this) relationships are not that fun or as much as everyone thinks they are. Drama, mind games, and more drama ensues many people's relationships. So why exactly is it an insult if someone doesn't have a girlfriend? I'm thinking it's much better off to be single, than deal with drama - it takes time to find a really great partner. So for those of you who choose to wait that time, I respect you.

Just seems like an immature insult from people who don't realize what having a girlfriend means.
