    so i'm in a facebook group for women in my city to like, make friends/do stuff together, and someone posts that she's "seeking some successful ladies who are in happy, healthy relationships and looking to expand their social circle" and i'm like, ??  why do they have to be in relationships?  like yeah you're free to pick the criteria for your own friendships; i just...don't understand.

      Hm, weird. Maybe she wants to do couple-related activities, like double-dates or something? I’m just guessing here… You could argue you are in a happy, healthy relationship with yourself though ;)

      wow, you're more positive than me. my thought was 'oh shit, pyramid scheme'. like she was targetting 'successful' women with husband's money to throw at stuff, but with a safe sounding post.

      maybe thats just my cynicism towards local facebook  groups though.

      we all have different theories.  mine is that she considers an amatonormative relationship a prerequisite for "success".  and i don't even think she considered the possibility of being happily without one; i think the alternatives in her mind are unstable or non-committed relationships.
