Do you notice that a sizeable amount of women, don't seem to like or even want to associate with or support single women?

This is especially if you are past a certain age (around late 20s and older) or if you live in an area that is family oriented or where most people in your age group are married or at least partnered. I have never been married and I have no children (I never wanted to marry young, but at my age now it is something I eventually desire..and I am still unsure about children). Also, I used to be a pick me, and in some situations, a "cool girl" too, for reference.

In "regular life" I can tell they favor their friends who are in relationships because they can double date and also talk about relationships for hours. I guess they think there is nothing else to talk about besides their significant others. On social media sites, some of them only like "relationship goals" type posts and pretty much only liked my posts when it was about a man or when I was in a relationship. (Though I would no longer post men I'm dating unless we were engaged..so most really don't know for sure my relationship status)

Once you don't "have a man" anymore, you're worthless to them and they're not interested in anything else you're doing...whether it's a creative endeavor, starting a business, or just enjoying solo activities like travel or new experiences, etc. Just like LVM, they figure something must be wrong with you or you "can't get a man", among other reasons...even though I am probably considered more attractive and have a better personality than some of them (I do admit I have my flaws and issues that I work on). I guess I don't have "proof" that I'm desireable because I have no boyfriend or husband to show.

I refuse to get into a relationship just to say I have someone, though, and I'm not even trying that hard to actively meet men. I have other priorities currently (though I wouldn't turn down a compatible HVM if he came along)

I know not all married or partnered women exclude single women, or only care about their relationship, but it's enough for me to notice.

I wish I could say it never bothers me, but it does. It is anger inducing and hurtful. Sometimes it causes me to feel shame or left out of society. How do you deal with this?
