The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Do you only read blogs like your own? Which is your favorite blog?
As a single person, I find it extremely hard to read blogs when I know the writer is in a relationship. I just can't do it. Even though I'm enjoying my singlehood, I can't share in their joy and feel that reading their happy posts of dates and cuddling amounts to some form of masochism.
So if you're single, do you like reading blogs where the person is in a relationship or do you stick to other blogs? Which is your favorite blog to read?
And if you're already a couple/married, do you still like reading about single people and their dating trials?

I've never thought about reading a blog depending on whether they're in a relationship. Other than referring to my other half occasionally, I don't write particularly about relationships, just whatever has happened and is blogworthy or something I have thought that is blogworthy. I agree with the others. I read the blogs I do because I enjoy them and I enjoy their styles of writing.
As for one favourite... I'll get back to you on that one!

great question!
Recently single, I've been staying away from cuddly romantic blogs as well, and find myself in the throws of blogs that are in the process of mourning a loss of a relationship. Misery is best in the company of others, maybe?
Asking me, however, to put a favorite down is just plain cruel. I will say there are a number of 20sb-ers whose blogs I love dearly. They know who they are :)

I'm not single, but I love reading dating blogs. It's probably so I can live vicariously. I don't think I've ever minded reading blogs of someone in a relationship (whether I was single or not), but reading about their relationship dynamics can be boring and frustrating, particularly if they are with a jerk. I hate seeing people who are blind to the fact that they are with a jerk or someone who's taking advantage of them. Even though I'm in a relationship, I don't think I've ever blogged about cuddling or anything mushy. I tend to do that a lot more if I'm single and just had a great date or something.
Oh. And my fave dating blog is craigslistwhore.blogspot.com who I don't even think is on here, but she's one of my best friends and former roommate. Her dating stories are good, frequently embarrassing and always entertaining.

I read SO many different types of blogs. From mommy bloggers to fashion bloggers to 20somethings in love to 20 somethings who are single; everything. My feed reader is full of diverse blogs.
I recently became single after 5 years so I'm feeling a little bitter when reading about happy couples but I still read haha
My all time favorite blog is www.thebloggess.com though. She's the funniest person ever!

I totally get what you mean.
I guess I prefer reading single girl blogs, because I can relate to them, and I emphatize with them, instead of SYMPTHATIZING them. Like most loved-up blogger usually do. ;)
When I read blogs of people who are in steady relationships, I guess I do suffer from some envy, and most times, I can't help but wonder how genuine are their public confessions.

whew! it definitely depends on the contents of the blogs..not all parenthood blogs are just mainly posting parenthood, or say, even singles, like us-or 20 something singles, can fetch good ideas from those..
hmp!?!? however, mostly of the blogs that i read are those of my age.. :)
you can jive with the topics and have exchanging of ideas..

I read:
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com - culture critique on white people's liking.
http://designspongeonline.com/ - home design
http://theresurgence.com - spiritual related discussions & christianity.
http://feministing.com - feminist related issues in the media
http://kanyeuniversity.com/blog - kanye's blog on pop culture
I don't really think about if they are single or not. :\ I get turned off if they talk and gab about their personal life w/ their partner constantly in way that romanticizes them.
Those are the bigs ones outside of my friends blogs.

As a person in a couple, I find blogs about single life way more interesting ... sort of like the "grass is greener on the other side" concept. I've pretty much been in consecutive relationships since I was 15, so for the last 8 years, and I'm not sure what it's like to be single. Thus, I find the single life pretty interesting to read about.
In general, I like a variety of blogs about a variety of topics, whether they are similar to mine or the complete opposite. I suppose what I read has more to do with the writer and the way they blog rather than what they have to say at all times.

The majority of the blogs I read are written by Singletons, simply because dating adventures are always a fun read. A few bloggers on my list have crossed over to the Other Side, and I do start to lose interest in them, not because of the fact that they are in a relationship but simply because they don't have any good stories to tell anymore.
And then there are bloggers who are married and have kids and blog about being a mommy. And, as interesting as those stories may be, I simply can't relate - and don't want to at this point in my life. So, mommy blogs I definitely steer clear of.

Personally, I've no problems with either single bloggers or those in a r'ship. Although at times when it's those bad times of break ups, then yeah, blogs about those in r'ships can really unbearable. But that's pretty normal I guess.
I love blogs that somewhat like mine. Blogs with attitude. Blogs with wit & humor now and then. Also blogs that are creative & insightful but fun at the same time. I also read blogs on fashion & art.

Honestly, I just read blogs that have good writers. I have a few great "mommy" blogs that I read, a few great newlywed blogs that I read, and a few great single blogs that I read. While I am single and definitely NOT a mommy, I still enjoy reading those blogs because their situation is completely different from mine. It's a little more fun to read about a life that's so different from mine.
I don't focus on dating on my blog (mainly because I don't have a dating life...SO!) and the blogs I do read don't focus on dating or their married life too much.
So, out of the 3 categories that I read, my favorite blogs are:
Mom blogs - The Girls (A mom with two little girls aged 4 and 2. She writes about her daughters and just stuff about her life and does it in a funny way. It's obvious she doesn't take life too serious!)
Married blogs - Writefully Yours (Shalay, married since August, who is such a funny writer! She has a MUCH more interesting life than me and it's fun to read it, especially since she's only a year older than me yet MARRIED)
Single blogs - The Online Nanny Diaries (The Nanny, who keeps everything completely confidential and usually I don't like it but she is such a great writer and always seems to make me laugh!)
Check them (and me!) out!
