Posted: 12/9/2007 4:14:04 PM | | Being single is good in many ways ,,,You do not have someone in your space 24/7 and you can come and go as you please and I hate men that pout if they do not get sex and who needs that hassle and you do not have to share your money and your time and you can buy what you want ,,,Now on the flip side You are no one till some one loves you and if lucky you have that built in security blanket of a great Love but in 2007 forget it, | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 5:15:57 PM | A great Dean Martin song there jenny68!........."your nobody til somebody lovvvvvvvvves you!" lol. As much as I do love that man's voice and songs, I'm must say, I do have people who love me, I just don't have a SO who does. I'm still a 'somebody' though 
Gosh carolina_golfer! 30 years and still no 'miss right'??? Maybe I should lend you the first part of my name - synical  Just kidding bud. I just hope 23 years from now I won't be looking, instead I'll have found. Of course, I understand men in nursing homes don't move so quickly, have poor vision and can't remember much, so maybe there's hope for me after all! 
 and a Happy and Safe Holiday!  | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 5:33:34 PM | So, being newly single again, it has taken some adjustments:
I liked getting my back scratched
Solution: I found a strap at Walmart for $1.87 which works much better and doesn't EVER say, "Is that enough?"
I liked the occasional meal she cooked
Solution: I have found some GREAT frozen prepared meals and now can spice things up without hearing someone ****.
I liked not paying the bills
Solution: I like paying the bills
I liked snuggling under the covers
Solution: I like fondling myself under the covers
I liked getting laid
Solution: I like getting laid
I liked watching movies together.
Solution: I really like watching movies alone.
I liked those really good kisses.
Solution: I am working on this one. Porn is helping.
I liked making her laugh.
Solution: I like making other people laugh.
I liked the way she admired my body.
Solution: Where are those rose-colored glasses, anyway?
Overall.....I much prefer being single. (And, those grapes would have been sour, anyway.)

Posted: 12/12/2007 10:44:52 PM | Kewlest thing about being single? It's great enough that when you meet someone who makes you wish NOT to be single, you know you've got someone *really* special. . . . .

I can do what I want, when I want
except, and that one word alone is why we joined a dating site.
and I don't have to answer to anyone
kinda strange how I miss that honey-do list or joint efforts.
I'll stop at saying being single is alright and is enjoyable at times but to use the word 'great'? Great opens the imagination to rather lofty heights rather single or not. It's relative. Okay, it is great! I'd just like greater then, heck, may as well go all the way......I want greatest! | |

Posted: 12/14/2007 10:15:56 AM | I'm thinking it's kind of a tradeoff.....being single or having someone. There's pros and cons about both.
Actually, the number of pros for being single (for me) is greater than the pros for being with someone, but somehow it just doesn't feel that way at all. ...............  | |

Posted: 12/14/2007 12:09:35 PM | The best thing about being single is the knowledge that I can be, and it won't kill me. That if I spend the rest of my life single, I will be just fine. It has given me the confidence to be able to stand up and make a name for myself.
I am however, a romantic at heart, and being alone for the rest of my life isn't my favorite ending to the story. So, while I am doing just fine being single, I am still hoping for that one crazy-heart thumping-dizzy-exciting love of my life.
...there now that wasn't so hard to admit. Why don't all of you try it.  | |

kinda strange how I miss that honey-do list or joint efforts.
I've been single longer than I've ever been a couple, so I'm very comfortable with it.
One of the benefits is not having to explain myself to anyone, but the down side
is that I don't have a man to share life's moments with.
I loved the joint efforts. They were some of the best memories . Physical intimacy is fairly easy to find, cerebral intimacy is much more elusive.
That's what I miss when I'm single.

shhhhh, nobody wants to reveal any weakness here ya know............we're strong independent people who have forgotten how to be interdependent. We think we jump right into dependency if we get too close to another. (didn't anyone give you this memo?) | |

Posted: 12/15/2007 4:14:36 PM | one is able to date. (variety)
hop on the bike and on an impulse without concern and ride for days or weeks at a time.
Other then those reasons, it's pretty boring being single, for me anyways. I'd rather have someone to ride with (motorcycle ) then being the lone rider I've always been. Seems I can't find a woman I'm attracted to who shares the same passion for riding. Heh! if it ever happens, all the better, if it doesn't I'll keep on dating.

I agree, it is great to be single. I can't speak for the women here, but for this guy (me), single is the way to go... Relationships requre that a person give up himself/herself and become what ever the SO wants them to be.
I wouldn't say there is anything great about being single. It's sometimes easier, but most things in life that are worth having are not particularly easy. If you find that you have to change to make your SO happy, then you haven't found the right SO. | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 3:26:10 PM | I'm not sure that being single is all that great. At least, for me.I know I'm going to be okay if I remain single for the rest of my life. And, probably my life will be less complicated if I do so. But, it will also be less fulfilling for me. I really am better when I share and part of a couple.
As others have said: I'm here because I'm looking for someone that wants to share too. | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 10:34:15 PM | It's great to be single?
People that really like being single are either a rare breed-a true loner.
Or they are in extreme denial
Why is being single so great? So you get total control of the TV remote. But isn't it more fun to turn off the TV and snuggle in bed with someone?
I feel sorry for those that are true loners. Maybe they will realize that life is better shared with a SO than being a third wheel. | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 10:35:54 PM | LOL> after reading some of the posts in here , anyone would think marriage , or a relationship is like a jail sentence ,,,,, so , single we shall remain ,,
My grandfather was once asked , " What do you think of marriage ?" he replied ,,, " If every day was christmas , itwould still only be "Just" ...and that was many many years ago .
What hope have we got in 2007 ????? | |
