Good point to foodnwino too what Berns said..
Being single and happy is state of mind. Not a situation your in.
Meeting someone to warm the cockles of your inner self is awesome. I can only hope one day , but sitting around pinning for it is simply a waste of head space. I LIKE being single, I LOVE to feel loved. I dont need to be loved , but I want love .
The up side of being single IS your single ! | |

Or see Neo for a game of scrabble so he can brush up on his spelling. Just you focus on those undies being turned around Baron. | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/6/2008 2:41:33 AM | I can eat what I want when I want and if it comes in a bag all the better. Its my money I will spend it how I want. If I dont want to go I wont. Dont have to tolerate some boyfriends wan*ker of a friend. Anything I want to do I can and anything I dont want to do I wont. I can see who I like for how long I like. I can pay my own way. I can drive what I like and go where I want to. I can sit on the internet and chat to as many people as I like. I can go out on dates all week. I can go on holiday to any destination of my choosing. I dont have to play second fiddle to his children. I dont have to have a room big enough to fit his emotional baggage in. I can always afford a better vibrator. I can have the career choice that I want and change it when I want. I dont have to get into heated negotiation about anything.
And finally, being single isnt a terminal illness and whilst Im not gonna die from it Im sure gonna live every day of it like it was the last!!!

| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/6/2008 9:16:50 AM | | I got over being single a long time ago. The only current 'up-side' to it is that I can work whenever I want and no one complains about it. 2am right now and I'm just getting started on the days work. | |
|
| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/6/2008 9:10:17 PM | I love being single. I answer to no one. My family are grown even tho two are still at home. We live our own lives. I travel alot to nsw and Vic to catch up with friends. I love my king size bed, if I snore who cares. Tho it would be nice to have someone special to share things with , apart from my house mate.. Generally tho I am happy What Will Be Will Be | |
|
| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/12/2008 2:40:03 AM | | I can come home from work in a bad mood and not have to worry about putting up with shit from someone else coming home from work in a bad mood. No dramas at all. None..Nada..Null. It's not exactly paradise, but it's close. The rest falls into place really. Just like the clothes on the floor in the ensuite, the bedroom, the loungeroom and maybe even the laundry. | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/12/2008 3:38:39 AM | This is the upside of not necessarily being single as in not having anyone special in your life, but in having a partner and NOT living with them - you have all the benefits of being single as in you can eat what you like, when you like, sleep when you want to, watch what tv if and when you want to, ring up your friends when you want to, get the whole bed to yourself when you want it, etc etc but then on the weekends or whenever you see your boyfriend/girlfriend, you have all the benefits of being with someone - obviously sex, romance, companionship, communication, activity partner etc.
I think you can still be in love and love somebody but not necessarily want to be living with them on a permanent basis. You can still retain your independence (and selfishness as some may call it!) whilst still having a loving and good relationship with somebody. | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/12/2008 4:23:40 AM | some people do get strung out about their relationship status either single or in a relationship, it all come down to balance in your life regardless of the situation and sometimes the scales you get can be a bit faulty so the balance is all****d up ,, such is life, there is positives to both sides of the discussion, the biggest part is acceptance and being able to adjust to your circumstance.. I think regardless of anything if you can walk tall within yourself then you can conquer any situation.
Great topic btw I had a good laugh at some of the posts
cheerz all be safe and be well | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/12/2008 4:50:49 AM | I absolutely Love being single. I can do who ever, what ever, I like when I like.. lol.
I absolutely love being with someone too.. but until Sean Penn comes for me or another man of equal yum factor. Im going to love it while I can. | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/12/2008 5:12:38 AM | I sleep in the middle of my queen size bed Yes I do, he sleeps on the floor unless I need him. 
Snoring doesn't keep me awake Do I look like the type who cares if I wake him if I snore, besides, he is not allowed to sleep, he is here only to protect me against the boogie monster.
I can put on a CD & sing & dance at the top of my lungs without being "caught" So do I, oh hang on, I make him put on the CD because I have to reserve all my energy for my dancing and singing at the top of my lungs.
I can eat pasta with lots of Parmesan in bed with no complaints Who would complain, after all, it is MY bed.
Changing into my daggy tracky dacks after work doesn't make anyone think "I've let myself go!" He loves my tracky dacks, and never calls them daggy.
On a weekend, I don't have to get dressed & can spend the whole day reading a book I make mine read to me, after all, that is another reason I have him.
I can watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and cry at the end without being embarrassed Oh what a lovely movie that is, my man like's to see me watch this movie.
I can wear boots or pants so I don't have to worry if I've shaved my legs You shave your own legs! Oh man, I have my man shave them for me!
My vibrator will never get me pregnant & I don't have to worry if it had a orgasm My boyfriend can't get me pregnant either! That's why I love him!
I can yak to my Mum/friend on the phone for two hours and no one cares Neither does my man, I think he thinks this is time out. 
I don't have to cook. Cheese, dip & crackers is a perfectly good meal! (as is beer!) You cook! I have my man do that for me. | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 5/12/2008 6:44:41 AM | The 2 posts below really sum up this topic for me:
Pretty simple. being single is not as good as a loving warm wonderful relationship, but it craps all over being stuck in a bad one. I want someone loves me for who I am rather than just the concept of being in a relationship.
...it all comes down to balance in your life regardless of the situation and sometimes the scales you get can be a bit faulty so the balance is all****d up ,, such is life, there is positives to both sides of the discussion, the biggest part is acceptance and being able to adjust to your circumstance.. I think regardless of anything if you can walk tall within yourself then you can conquer any situation.
I have read and heard quite a few beliefs that to be fully happy in a relationship with somebody else, you first have to totally remove yourself from the previous one and be fully happy and confident with yourself and being single. Then you can move on and enjoy life, whether with someone or not. I think it makes sense and I agree with it but I also think it's easier said than done. | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 6/5/2008 7:04:01 AM | I have to agree with everyone here!
I love being single, but would be happy to have a wonderful relationship.
Unconditional love comes to mind, but until then, yay for the fun I'm having now!
Cheers, Deepy x | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 6/5/2008 4:10:40 PM | The great thing is having the time for the important things (for me) at home without feeling the need to entertain, socialise etc. The down side is that I find it impossible to watch a DVD or TV. Within 20 min I’m thinking of other stuff that just needs doing. With someone else there, it would be a social event & not just an indulgence.
As for going out, sex & housework, that would probably stay about the same. Might stay at home a bit more.
Cheers  | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 6/5/2008 5:43:09 PM | what a lot of crap if you love being single so much why are you here why cant you be in a relationship and still live the way some of you have outlined here? Its called respecting each others space Compromise, yes a little, any relationship is a compromise to some extent, but tell me you love being single you gotta be joking, if single was everything you say it is why bother looking at all, and as far as the I dont look thru the profiles set, yep can accept that maybe you dont mine there, you just do it here instead!!!
Come on folks get real there are parts of being single I like, but try having a stimulating conversation with yourself and it sucks to always with the arguement
See ya out there somewhere | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 6/5/2008 5:55:29 PM | | ^^^^^ what losenut said, I accept that I am single but I would like to have that special someone, to chat to, or have a **** to when work sucks, to have a nice evening out, to curl up with etc. Yes I like my life as it is today but thats because I like who I am and I don't need someone, I want someone to enjoy life with. | |

| The upside of being single! Posted: 6/5/2008 6:25:00 PM | Do we even have to wonder why we're single anymore? lol. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, | |
