I'm married, but my blog doesn't have to do with that.. For me, at least, death did not equal the death-of-all-other-interests.

It never occurred to me to read based on a persons marital status! So I'd have to say I read married people blogs & single people blogs.

In general, though, I guess I'm not a big fan of blogs that write exclusively about their relationship, or lack thereof, or exclusively with their kid, or exclusively with anything, really... I think I'm a variety girl, relationship or no.

But honestly it's all about how it's written. One person could write about a hot date and make it boring, another person could write about asparagus and make it interesting.

Some women when married always write about their marriages..all the time. Literally all the time until I feel like my eyes rolls in their sockets. Maybe just not for me.

Although some of the best blogs I read are written by married women, they're fresh. Example is you and Margarita. You girls don't write about married life 24/7, you girls have more interests and stuff to write on and for me they're so interesting. Rather than reading some woman write about how adorable and how much of a superhero is her hubby is, all the time.

Haha, this is funny because I think everyone does a little bit of this. I currently am in a relationship but about a year ago when I wasn't I wasn't interested in reading about people going out to the park on cute little dates. Not for me! Now that I am in a relationship and it's a long distance one at that, I still am not a big fan. Mainly because I get jealous I can't be with mine.

I don't read that many blogs by people in a "relationship." I like to think that's because I can't really relate to them, but I have no idea if that's actually the case. I just find single people more like me I guess. Sometimes I catch myself doing the "woe is me I'm single thing" and I try to stop it as quick as possible. (That's something I get frustrated with in other people's blogs too.)

I like to read anything that makes me laugh or is interesting. I do read a lot of military blogs though...

I'm single, and I think the writing style is what draws me in or pushes me away. I can't stand blogs that are emo and all "woe is me". But then again I also don't like blogs that center around the mushy stuff. I guess I just don't like any blog that dwells on one subject far too long. What really kills me are the mom blogs. I've come across a few good ones but others are just soooooo centered on their child/mommy life. I'll probably be that way when I have kids no doubt but for now I don't like them at all.

I don't think I choose what blogs I read by the writer's relationship status... I tend to like funny blogs better than serious ones, though I'm not very funny so I don't know what that's about, lol.

My favorite blog is Live It, Love It by LiLu. She is effing FUNNY. I've also been introduced to many other blogs through her because she links to her friends whenever she talks about them. It's been a cool way to find other bloggers.

I'm in a relationship, and I can read blogs by people in relationships or single . . . but I have a hard time relating to people who are married. Especially if they have kids! If the focus of their blog is not on their personal life (it's a fitness/food/fashion blog or something like that), or if they don't mention it much, I can look past it, but I definitely have a hard time getting into a blog if they talk a lot about "married life."

Even though I'm not a mom, I like reading mommy blogs. I think part of it is being able to experience having kids by reading (at least in a way) without really having any of my own.

I'm single and that doesn't sway me one way or another. Usually if I come across a "mommy" blog I will pause and have an "Aww what a cute baby" moment and move on-- I don't want to read about diapers and teething, etc. etc. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it (many years from now)... relationship blogs can be fun as can single/dating blogs... but with everything, I prefer them in moderation, I can only take so much "ohmygodilovehimheissoperfect" and guys suck why doesn't he call me!?

I'm a walking contradiction, huh? But if I wanted that stuff all the time, I would just open my door and listen to my roommates and their respective guy drama/etc.

I honestly prefer a variety of topics when reading blogs... generally the ones that make it to my reader never write about the same thing on a day to day basis.

I like to read blogs that are like mines....categories that fall more under the gay scene! I do enjoy reading other blogs though, if it is interesting. I like blogs with pics and not just words...

I love to read about other people stories and how they see the world, so I have a very eccentric blog roll that I keep up with!
