Why are you still single?

One of the most common questions I get asked by men in the dating scenario is “why are you still single?” After many fumbling attempts to answer this, I’m wondering if there is a good answer to that. It has a connotation behind it, similar to “what’s a nice girl like you doing in a dump like this?” Like if you were really that great of a person, you wouldn’t be single. And I think that is the perception. It’s ok to be single for a short period of time after a breakup. That’s perfectly normal. A month, two, maybe even three months. If you just got divorced then ok, a year, possibly two if it was really painful. Beyond that…if you’re still single, there must be something wrong with you.
Considering I’ve been single for 7 years, I must really be screwed up or a terrible person! --No comments from the peanut gallery, thank you!
