Hypocrisy of Dating Advice?
This is something that has really been on my nerves lately...
As an available single, I often find myself going to friends for dating advice, but I find that it rarely goes anywhere. Logically, I assume that friends who are in relationships or have significant others would offer up useful advice and want to help me meet someone, but this rarely seems to be the case.
They often tell me that relationships are "overrated", "not worth it", and "being single is more fun". Yet they themselves prefer to be in a relationship; if they truly despised it, they could end it when they wished. Even if they do break up with a significant other, they rarely embrace the wonderful "single life" they preach about and seek out a new significant other as quickly as possible. They come of as very discouraging; but they can't seem to practice what they preach. How can I take someone like this seriously?
Has anyone else found themselves in this or a similar situation? What do you do or what do you think?

I tend more to find that since nearly all my friends are in relationships, they are always wanting to try and find me someone too. Which is more annoying than it sounds, because it is as if they are trying to imply i'm not worth anything cos i'm not in a relationship. Way to make me feel like Bridget Jones!!! :(
