Dealing with some situations

I have been dealing a lot lately with a couple of women I know (who don't read this blog). Both have made the decision to stay single. Both have minimal skills to earn money with. Both are basically broke and one paycheck away from not being able to pay their bills. Both have been talking to me a lot about their problems, which I don't mind but the talks almost always end back at "I don't think you can afford to be single". Both of these ladies need a partner to help share their expense. Both don't want one. Neither likes the reality of the situation. Hey, I am not a big fan of reality either but even I deal with it.
