Happy Thread! Post good things about being SINGLE!

Post Reply New Topic

If you ever got your heart seriously broken within a serious relationship you'd quit seeing it as a privilege and as something women don't really appreciate so much as demand it.

Because you aren't in a relationship? Being single doesn't mean being a lonely virgin. It means that or you're just running bases.

I could spend all night in this thread....

--no trying to pretend you're not insanely annoyed by that mind-boggling stupid thing the other person just said

--no disappointment in the other person not doing what he/she said they'd do

--no dealing with their exs, or listening to them whine about their exs

--no putting up with their stupid/obnoxious/uneducated/racist/sexist/xenophobic friends

--no putting up with their mean/alcoholic/lying/overbearing/passive-aggressive parents and/or family members

--no being subjected to their intimate bodily issues!! !

--no horror over discovering how much they love pro-wrestling or that they still listen to some long forgotten boy band

--no frustration over your growing realization that you're with someone who's really not a good match for you

--no frustration over trying to hide that growing awareness until you're sure you want to dump the loser

--no uncomfortable, unproductive "talks" about problems you know you can't resolve with this person

--no unpleasent "Yes, I'm dumping you" talk

--no watching them cry after you dump them

--no beating yourself up for days for having wasted your time with such a loser

On a more upbeat note:

--What to go see a movie? Then, go! what to go try out a new restaurant? Then go! What to take off for a weekend? Then, go!

--Quality time with your cats, dogs, kids, friends, etc.

--Spending all weekend with your Aspie interest, and there's no one to b***h that you're ignoring them!

--if you have a rough day at work and you just want to go home and not talk to another person for the rest of the day, you can.

--You can deal with your own bodily issues in private.

--You can spend your free time doing whatever you want--taking up a new hobby, learning something you've always wanted to learn, volunteering, so on

--Pursue your dreams without anyone else's dead weight to hold you back

Um....

1) Noone punching you in their sleep.

2) As much room in the bed as you like, unless the cat is taking up the whole bed of course..

3) Being able to indulge interests without someone judging said interests.

4) Spending money on self.

5) Being in the dating world, which is full of possibilities and can be interesting.

6) Being your own person.

- no fear of being hurt or made a fool of by a partner.
- lots of space and time to yourself to do with as you please.
- no expectations of sex, affection, intimacy, or romance.
- being free to express yourself sexually with whoever you wish.
- being able to flirt with or even just talk to others without feeling guilty or having someone get jealous.
- when single you get more attention from others than when taken, which boosts your confidence.
- no constant fear of something stupid causing an argument with a partner.
- no having to tolerate someone when you really don't want to have to have them near you at all.
- no time-consuming grooming or anxiety about what you look like naked.
- no spending all your time tidying up ready for the partner coming over.
- getting to wallow in your own filth and empty beer cans for a few days.
- going to bed whenever you want, and not having someone complaining about it the next day.
- no having to think about or consider anyone else's feelings all the time.
- most new relationships end up pushing out friends, so being single you get to keep more friends.
- no one judging you based on your partner or what they may/may not have done in the past.
- no one judging your relationship...including you judging your own relationship based on others.
- if you regret not getting with someone, you know as a singleton you have more of a chance.
- no having to pretend to be someone you're not, or being on your best behaviour or hiding the crazy.
- no having to share their interests or activities that you might find annoying or stupid.
- no being forced to spend time with their friends or family when you don't like them or not in the mood.
- no getting into the relationship routine of being boring or staying in all the time.
- freedom to come and go as you please without checking in with someone else.

The grass is always greener - those who are single may want a relationship, but those of us in relationships sometimes really want to be single, there's just so much freedom to enjoy when you're single - it's all about you, rather than being about someone else, enjoy that.

Dear boyfriend - in case you join this site and see this, I love you and love being with you, but I have no doubt what-so-ever that if you could make a list like this it'd be at least twice as long after putting up with me for three years

I don't have to worry about whether I'm sexually incompetant or not

Here's one for Volodja.

Don't have to worry about someone disliking my cats.

You can get back at the neighbors by dying alone and stinking up your street when your body rots because no one comes around (Just kidding)

Being able to daydream without interruption with silly questions like what are you thinking about.

Being able to fart in peace without worrying about grossing someone out. I bet there just as many women who agree with this one.

Being able to watch or listen to anything you want on the tv, computer, or radio.

I did... in the one relationship I ever actually did have. I am once again waiting, but how long I'll be able to wait patiently is anyone's guess at this point

Not all of us go for casual meaningless sex. If it's all about just getting off, I don't see what it has to offer that my hand does not...

Okay what part of sleeping around says that it isn't casual meaningless sex? When you sleep around it's supposed to be casual meaningless sex...either that or you have serious emotional problems and you're just going to f**k yourself up worse.

So says the virgin?

The heat, the feel, and the touch can't be replicated just yet...

Best things about being single.

1. No Marriage!
2. No Divorce
3. No mortgage or loans to keep some fat aging hag happy.
4. Being able to play video games as much as you want.
5. Realizing what suckers the married people you know are.
6. Never having to spend money on s**t you don't want or need
7. Never having to buy a stupid engagement ring (3 months salary for a piece of tail?!?! WTF?!?)
8. Never having to shell out for a wedding. (15-30K for a piece of tail? Come on!)
9. Knowing that you never need someone else to "complete you" (What a crock of s**t)
10. Knowing that you can easily get the hottest 19-20 year olds with a mouse click
11. FREEDOM

Hey if she disliked my cat then she'd be outta the door straight away. We come as a package!

Oh where did you get the idea for this fantastic thread?

I think it was from a similar thread by some hot Scottish girl maybe....

Talking to myself considered marginally less weird.

Cheaper.

Can be somewhat less concerned about anothers desires and needs.



Many more downsides than up, I'm afraid.

People have listed dozens of upsides here - your list of downsides would have to be pretty long in order to beat it by "many" - but just a few examples of you downsides would be helpful...

No need to share one's bed. You can just stretch out as you like.
