BETTER Label label label, so many labels. No one cares

BETTER This is just stupid. There is nothing wrong with being single!! Is there a special class Hollywood takes to learn how to be blatantly stupid?

BETTER Is that another thing to add to LGBT? LGBTS?

BETTER It means when you shake her hand, it's sticky.

BETTER Im buying more stock in duracell

BETTER Yawn

BETTER This is what happens to somebody that has nothing to do or worry about since she was 8 years old. Making up different names for not having a boyfriend. Clown 🤡

BETTER

BETTER What a waste

BETTER Weird way to say she masterbates a lot.

BETTER Looney Liberals and their made up terms. Self partnered,non binary. You guys are really screwed up. Please seek help.

BETTER Just a convoluted way to say I'm single.

BETTER what ever

BETTER ...why are we suspending core tenants of the english language? This term doesn’t make any sense. We shouldn’t be encouraging this crap.

BETTER People can change words all they want. 'Conscious uncoupling' doesn't change the pain of divorce and being self-partnered still means you are single, even if you are happy and fulfilled. I'm single and love it and will use the term 'single'. This word play BS is getting old.

BETTER Most likely no one wants her :)

BETTER It means nothing

BETTER Beautiful

BETTER so shes single .. trump must be being a good boy today if this is a news worthy story

BETTER She's single.

BETTER In other words, she’s well adjusted and content. Of course, saying that wouldn’t get any publicity or look trendy. What a farce!

BETTER Schizophrenic has come a long way.

BETTER So... single

BETTER What it means is she has a mental disorder, and this shouldn’t be normalized

BETTER If you have to change the name of a status because you think it makes you woke, you have mental problems.

BETTER

BETTER

BETTER You spelled, 'I have a huge vibrator' wrong.

BETTER Fake news... she's single who cares. She has to make up a new term because nobody wants to be with her, so what. Get over it.... YOU ARE SINGLE!

BETTER Why does EVERYTHING have to be a THING? what is wrong with simply saying you are SINGLE? And why do you have to SAY IT anyway?

BETTER Wow she must be really flexible.

BETTER Too many jokes there just wayyyy too many

BETTER

BETTER This is why conservatives laugh at liberals. FFS.

BETTER

BETTER Guess getting rich from fairytales at a young age will distort reality somewhat.

BETTER What a lunatic.

BETTER Celebrities have to change it up all the time, otherwise, no one would be interested in watching them.

BETTER Get a pre-nup

BETTER Is Kleenex and lotion involved😂😱

BETTER It means she is single. You people want to invent these special labels for crap because you want to stand out

BETTER HollyWood nut jobs!

BETTER I 'self partner' almost daily...

BETTER To summarize, she’s single.

BETTER “Self-partnered” is “insufferable” misspelled 😂

BETTER Must be nice to not have 2 full time jobs to support this method.

BETTER You’re single, Emma.

BETTER So single ? Guess people wanna Change the words to their benefits lol genius

BETTER Being single has negative connotations of being lonely. That is not necessarily true for those of us happy being solo.

BETTER Me too and my penis and hand is raw.

BETTER Well good for her! One can only hope its a lifetime commitment.

BETTER Good for her

BETTER It's a cope for rapidly onsetting cat ladies that is being popularized by the media. Imagine if single women were given healthy life advice instead?

BETTER Paging StefanMolyneux for another roast. :)

BETTER Masturbation

BETTER Stop encouraging mental illness.

BETTER Such old news

BETTER Hollywood hipster philosophy, lol

BETTER Pulitzer Prize material. The girl is OK with being single. Groundbreaking.

BETTER Some people enjoy their solitude. I’m one of them. And I’m a conservative. Emma can do what she wants you so called civil libertarians.

BETTER Sounds like more nonsense to me! Just be a happy single person! Our you could be a me, myself, & I throuple I guess!

BETTER Can we watch her 'self partner'? Asking for a friend...

BETTER EXPECTOOOHH PATRONAAAMMM

BETTER

BETTER So she's a WGTOW? lol

BETTER

BETTER It means she is difficult and no one can stand her

BETTER ROTFLMFAO

BETTER Gimme a f'n break with this nonsense! This is news? NBC at its finest. No one with a life grounded in reality gives a s**t about some rich out of touch halfwit. MSM is nothing more than a propaganda machine to assist in the destruction of civilization.

BETTER It means the first year interns have hijacked the NBC twitter feed again.

BETTER Stop posting the same articles, i only have so many variations of the same joke

BETTER It means she uses her hand 🖐

BETTER The world has gone off the rails. It's hard to keep up with what's PC.

BETTER John Chancellor, currently spinning like a propellor, at what’s become of his former network.

BETTER . Id consider 'self-partnering' with her - after getting to know her - as I know nothing about her but she'd have to know just because she has money - I wouldnt tolerate anything less than equal partner 'self-partnering'

BETTER These ppl have been broken, sexually by the time they are an adult...this seems like a perfectly effective defense against anyone who'd wanna get close 😒

BETTER Spoiler Alert: She means she's single.

BETTER Attractive young women choosing to be 'self-partnered' sounds the The Junior Anti-Sex League to me—which is sort of cool in a dystopian way.

BETTER

BETTER You have to be really insecure as a person to be in any way ashamed of just being single - and 'identifying' yourself as such.

BETTER The fact that she announced that explains why she’s single

BETTER It means she's a moron, and so is NBC for reporting on her.

BETTER Indifference..

BETTER

BETTER Lmao what a load of BS. Also called 'being single'

BETTER You don't have to read the article. This is what she wanted to say. 'f*** off and leave me alone.'

BETTER More like self-centered. In love with herself. That's where it's going for a lot of young women. They're taught to treat men as the enemy...and not need them.

BETTER Shit article...

BETTER Emma Watson is like.

BETTER She's single and looking out for number 1.....nothing wrong with that.

BETTER Poor thing.

BETTER Good for her. I wouldn’t call it self partnered, but taking time to find and truly appreciate ones worth is essential to being happy. Dating isn’t gonna help that. Thank fuck someone famous figured it out.

BETTER

BETTER

BETTER I still “self partner “ 2 times a day

BETTER More liberal SJW nonsense

BETTER It means dudes find her annoying when they date her.

BETTER Here's what that means=Nothing! You're welcome. I'll be expecting my usual fee and a steak dinner.

BETTER It's a great idea for any leftist. I would rather none of them breed.

BETTER 🙄

BETTER WHAT? This makes no sense.

BETTER

BETTER 'Self-partnered'? I remember when it was called masturbation.

BETTER There’s no need to adopt a new term for it; we already have the right word—self-absorbed.

BETTER NBC - Nothing But Crazy

BETTER

BETTER She is an Incel.

BETTER So she's single then 😘

BETTER shes probably miserable.

BETTER What are the chances that everybody else doesn't know a bad idea?

BETTER The cats will follow...

BETTER I’m consciously decoupled from my self-partnering.

BETTER Also, Tom Waits wrote/ sang about this 45 years ago.

BETTER “News” over at NBC means something very different than what most people think it does. SimpleMindedHacks

BETTER Nobody cares!!!

BETTER ..and what exactly was her relationship status with Harvey Weinstein? She was at his side at literally too many places to count. Will Emma be appearing as a character witness for Harvey at his trial? He could use a few & I am sure self-partnered Emma would never abandon a friend.

BETTER What guy hasn't been on a date with Rosie Palm? 😆

BETTER Nope single ...if she is as not bothered as stated she wouldn’t need to change it to a luvvy slogan .

BETTER That's stupid 😂 it's just a Fad saying now

BETTER The level of maturity in this thread is on par with an elementary school

BETTER Exactly!! This is the very smartest thing anyone can do!! Want a drama and stress free life?Then self partner!!!

BETTER 'Rich, famous actress says she's happy.' I'm so relieved!

BETTER Beautiful Girls always have Lovely ideas !!

BETTER I know what she means. I “self partnered” in the shower the other night.

BETTER

BETTER 🌈I think🤷🏽‍♂️

BETTER This is just an abstruse term trying to describe loneliness as something psychologically normal.

BETTER If you have to justify being single as “self partnered” then there are far larger mental issues at play.

BETTER Amazing if true!!!!!

BETTER

BETTER She could get the D

BETTER I idea of Emma Watson self partnering herself is AWESOME!

BETTER A cute way of saying “masturbate” I get it.

BETTER AKA She is a female Incel

BETTER If I didn't want kids then that's what I would be tbh... I love my man. I found that out after I fell in love with myself.

BETTER It's stupid............

BETTER Oh shut up. She's single because she's too caught up in the arrogance of being a woman who thinks men are unnecessary. And she will stay single if she continues to think that way. No real man wants anything to do with that nonsense.

BETTER That is just stupid. Words, strung together in sentences, have meanings that must remain consistent, otherwise it's the tower of babble and no one knows what anyone is saying. She is single. Or a bachelor. A partner requires someone else. A partner requires another. Period.

BETTER That’s what kids call it nowadays? We called it masturbating.

BETTER I'm selfparnerd because I haven't found a partner duh.

BETTER Emma Watson is a goddess and she can do anything she likes.

BETTER Respectfully: It only means that she has so far, not found anyone suitable & so she wants to shut up people, who keep on asking about it, all the time. As soon as she finds someone she likes, this non-sense of ‘self-partnering’ will vanish in thin air. EmmaWatson EmmaWatson

BETTER naw I'm gonna ignore this. nobody replies back anyways.

BETTER It's not difficult to work out. Another wasted V

BETTER I do that a few times a week

BETTER Single? Being single is a positive statement. Self-partnered seems like a statement a mentally ill person would use...

BETTER Self partnerd my ass, had my eye on the chief for awhile, American muscle.

BETTER selfpartenered with a beagle supporter ;)

BETTER Simply put...1stWorldProblems

BETTER 'self-partnered' = 'self-pleasuring'

BETTER Here's what that means — it's a form of a progressive mental illness that is sweeping the West

BETTER Always had a crush on her.

BETTER Nah hoe u single thats ok

BETTER same

BETTER mmm mmm mmm Months old news.

BETTER Well, since she's basically told men they're POS, she either embraces self love or other women.

BETTER She is so strong!!

BETTER

BETTER

BETTER it means that I'm jealous of her

BETTER 🤡🤡🤡🤡

BETTER You're only publishing this because she's white

BETTER Is she monogamous with a specific handedness, or his she into an ambidextrous relationship? Asking for a friend.

BETTER Current news from November 2019.

BETTER She’s single. That is all. 😂😂😂

BETTER That's crazy!

BETTER Honestly, it’s a bicycle with one wheel.

BETTER That’s a multiple personality disorder

BETTER Wow more made up shit lol.

BETTER A narcissist that openly admits it.

BETTER Today’s liberal is a bizarre species

BETTER In my day (yesterday), we called that ‘SINGLE’. So you’re happy being single. Okay.

BETTER

BETTER Self Partnering equals- I'm an asshole and nobody wants to be around me.

BETTER Some people just call it being lonely

BETTER Anything for attention.

BETTER Do we have a flag for that? Anybody? Somebody call headquarters and make one. Quick before the other division claims it.

BETTER I pity all of the HP kids, even though they're all adults now. No one should exploit children in the way Hollywood/the media does, though. This result is not a good one.

BETTER She could have had any lover she wanted, but no one could match the beauty of her own hand.

BETTER Femcel

BETTER Liberals love inventing new 'identities' to then claim they're experiencing discrimination because of. Their imagined victimhood is the evidence for their imagined virtue.

BETTER Can we all just use words the way they are defined? Please. This newspeak nonsense is bizarre.

BETTER Crapola.

BETTER If your worried about self-partnering you may be feeling a need for a little introspection.

BETTER Wanker...?🤷🏽‍♂️

BETTER WTF “self-partnered” ? Seriously? Whatever keeps you from having a drug overdose, I guess.

BETTER So which Ohmnibod or lovense is she using..?

BETTER I am self partnered but I call it masturbation

BETTER 🙄 Please. Just stop. 'I'm single and happy with my own company right now' is an okay thing to say. We don't have to have new relationship labels around every turn.

BETTER EmmaWatson is beautiful. Any guy would b lucky to even talk to her

BETTER Oh dear.

BETTER This is from 2019 but ok stir it back up for clicks.

BETTER Does anybody actually give a shit what she says or does?

BETTER 'Self-partnered'. The modern way of saying nobody wants you.

BETTER It's basically feminist jargon for 'it's ok to fuck around without commitment'. No responsibilities. No loyalty. Yay feminism

BETTER What’s wrong with the word “independent”?

BETTER She sure does wear a lot of makeup.

BETTER Pandering

BETTER Ohhhh tay... dumbclickbait

BETTER I’m self partnered also *wink wink*

BETTER Something tells me i know exactly what that means!

BETTER Nope. This is too dumb to even click.

BETTER how brave

BETTER loony fruitcake
