10 Reasons It’s Great to Be Single …
By Some time ago

7. The bed is all yours

There’s something decadent about having an entire queen or king sized bed all to yourself. You can spread out, lie diagonally, kick the covers off, or wrap yourself in them like a cocoon. That is, unless you have to share your bed… and then you have to be considerate of someone who will probably spend half the night snoring and the other half stealing the covers…

8. You can date around

If you’re single, you can have fun dates with whomever you want, whenever you want, without feeling guilty, and without worrying about breaking anyone’s heart. There are so many wonderful men out there, and so little time! If you’re single, you get to date them all!

9. The seat stays DOWN

It’s the middle of the night, and you’ve just stumbled into the bathroom for a tinkle… then you fall in… eek! When you’re single, the toilet seats goes down and stays down. Also, you won’t be finding any icky little hairs all over your bathroom…

10. You get to keep your name with no comments

I love my last name and when I married my husband and I had a big argument over me wanting to keep my last name. To make him happy, I took his last name, and I regretted it. To men, it may not seem like a big deal, but they have no idea how difficult it is, and how disconcerting it can be, to change your name.

See? There are so many reasons it’s great to be single! These are just a few of them, and I’m sure there are more! Are you single? What do you love best about being single? Please let me know!

      Hey Wend,
      Welcome to the family! :)
      Glad you like our website. And I totally know what you’re talking about when it comes to Facebook and Twitter. My best friend’s boyfriend drives her nuts ... See more with questions about her new friends and her wallposts and her status messages! I do not know how she stands it.

    Hmmmm…I have to disagree about money part…..bein single to me can be expensive too. Feeling like I’m constantly in the market, therefore constantly bein watched, I become more self conscious. I also spend loads of ... See more shopping since there are nothing else to occupy my free time…Reading and sports don’t fill them all!

    But I agree on more clothes and shoes :).

    Sylvia says:
    Well, thank you so much for providing this article on the web!!!! As I have been in 4 bad relationships (including the current one that I am about to break off), I pretty much realize ... See more what I want in life … my freedom and happiness. Without them, life will be NOTHING to me. If I could go back in time, I would have been single (not ever wanted any relationship). I rather be alone than being screwed by losers/idiots/retards. I am a great person … it is just that comparing to other girls, I don’t get things easy. I am so sick of being controlled by anyone, plus taking it for granted by others as well. Why should I be around if I got treated badly????? Most of the time, I would rather just stay at my condo with my cat doing whatever the heck I want … seriously … life is never easy here … OK … so why get more dramas and crap???? What for??? Not like I am so desperate for money or anything??? I own my condo, car and living without debts. I am very happy the way I am.

      Hey Sylvia,
      Sweetheart all I can say is that you wouldn’t have come to the realization you have today, had it not been for those guys. So take it as a lesson and move on. ... See more I don’t necessarily think you should give up on relationships altogether but maybe a break will do you good.
      Good luck hun and thanks for visiting :)

    These are really great points for one to enjoy his single days. But sharing all with the one you truly love is luckier and more enjoyable, I can assure you! :)

    Ahhhh! I love you for posting this! Really, you made my day. I’m so sick of people feeling sorry for me because I don’t have a boyfriend. I don’t feel sorry for myself so why should they?

      Hey Val,
      Thankfully my friends think of me as being lucky because I’m single. Sure it’s a lil annoying when I go out for dinners with them and everyone has someone to share their meal ... See more with but for the most part, I love my single status!

    Hm, I have been single for a while and this list really just doesn’t apply… I am happy to be single because:
    1. I don’t have to check in with anyone all the time
    2. ... See more I can do what I want when I want to
    3. I don’t constantly have to think whether or not I look good
    4. I can eat, sleep, and do whatever how ever I would like
    5. I don’t have to cook for anyone else but myself
    6. If I just don’t feel in the mood… well I don’t have to do it!
    7. No Stress & NO DRAMA!

      Hey Gigi,
      The no answerability part is my favorite thing about being single too! You can do your thing and no one gets to ask you why or who or where.
