The symbol for "single" on Facebook is a little broken heart

[Lavender Brown]

That's so obnoxious. :wtf:

1. Bah. I'm single, and I don't have a broken heart.

Just four walls. Four empty walls. With not a soul to share them with.

...

......

...

okay, now I'm all depressed. :P

6. Oops. Sorry.

:pals:

2. So, Facebook assumes you are unhappy if single?

What a crock!

Didn't know you were a member there. :hi:

[Lavender Brown]

8. Pretty lame..

and probably lame to get annoyed about, but whatever. :) Yes, I'm on there. Yet another internet timewaster!

3. I thought that was just

when someone went from "in a relationship" to "single"...?

4. That's what I thought too.

5. My friend who just joined today is adding her info

and when she added the relationship info, the line in the newsfeed came up with the broken heart. She wasn't changing from one to the other, just adding the single status for the first time. :shrug:

7. That is dumb!

I concur with your OP! :)

9. Facebook

It's only a broken heart when you go from "being in a relationship to single".

Gotta luv Facebook though.

I don't care if ppl know I am single,I have no shame! lol

11. The symbol should be a little person dancing for joy.

12. Nah, the broken heart isn't obnoxious...

However, the ads for dating websites on Facebook are a different matter. That's what get's on my thru'penny bits.

On a lighter note, here's the link for the DU Facebook group.
