Does anyone else’s family make fun of them for never having a girlfriend?

It's ok to not hang around family you don't like

Sorry your family sucks.

My dude, you are 30. Tell them to stop thinking about how much / who other people are fucking. Leave if they don't comply. You are THIRTY YEARS OLD.

They did. But now I'm 14 years with my wife and many of them are still single or divorced.

I'm making an assumption that you react emotionally to them, encouraging further fun making. Instead, perhaps agree and amplify (yes a red pill doctrine, but effective), for example reply: 'yes and I spend all my free time and money on Only Fans trying to fill the void of loneliness' or simply 'yeah, forever alone'. Just don't take it seriously. They're just trying to get a rise out of you.

This is your official permission slip to stop spending the holidays with people who make you miserable.

If you don't want to "react" and "let them win", then I encourage you to ACT in a way that allows you "to win".

Throughout the next year, focus on making good, local friends.

Via hobbies, via church, via work, via school.
Look for folks like yourself who might be single and in need of a good group of friends.

Remember to get a good friend, you need to be a good friend.
Cultivate good friendships, and, when it starts getting cold out, and near Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years, INVITE THEM OVER.

Have dinner with them, have a party with them, ignore the heck out of your family, and focus on those folks that truly like you and accept you being single.

Best of luck!

Well my family makes fun if you have a girlfriend

If they're making of you for not having any girlfriend, it's really shitty behaviour from them. You should just ignore them. Usually it's the old members who do stuff like this. You have your own life and only you know what circumstances you live in, they should understand this. But don't force yourself to do stuff you don't want to, just because they're pressuring you.

When I was single coworkers would often ask me about if I met a girlfriend amd tgat sort of thing. Family somewhat. I think it's pretty normal for friends and family to tease about finding a girlfriend. Most cultures consider a relationship to be the default status that everyone should have.

As others have pointed out, the key is not letting others' comments get to you.

My parents are visiting from out of town. We were all at my sister's yesterday (she just had her baby). They started talking about how they know couples in their 50s down in Florida who never had kids and are sad about it and I feel like it was a subtle dig at me for being single. I had a chance to get married and have kids and my parents hated her to the point where she broke up with me. I just left early and avoid talking about it.
