premise: How to avoid looking desperate<br>Avoid constantly complaining about your single status. Even if you joke about it, it makes you appear that you are desperate for any date. This might not only make you look desperate but also make you look like you do not respect your friends who are in relationships.
hypothesis: This piece of advice is speculative.
reason: This one is a little complicated, but I ultimately decided that the context itself was too subjective to paraphrase as "definitely correct."  So I described the advice itself rather than its contents, and it is decidedly speculative because of the use of "might."
