Being single can be tough. Really tough.

And you know what makes it worse? You know what really reminds you of your unending loneliness and despair? Social events that require dates.

They are the worst, not just because they uphold the idea that you need to be in a relationship to have a good time. But also because they lead to things like this: a young man putting a cat in a dress and taking it to prom.

This is what you’ve made happen, society. Look at this cat’s face. Look at this guy’s smile of acceptance – acceptance of what his life has become.


This man and his cat deserve so much better than prom. They deserve the freedom not to succumb to the pressure of having a date and a social life.



Go home, man and cat. Relax. Watch TV. Do not force yourselves into a suit and a dress ever again.

This cat is not a prom date. And you, young man, are so much more than who you take to prom.

Be free from prom. Be free from societal expectations of coupled-up happiness.
